What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (almost exact at 0.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself.

    For a birth before 8:48 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

    Venus square Neptune (wide at 4.9°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (close at 1.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
