What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Warm, generous and made to be seen. Makes a room feel brighter and wants the people in it to shine too. More sensitive to criticism than it looks. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (wide at 4.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

    Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back. He thinks with his feelings: memory, mood and wit come together, and his words give away what he feels.

    The Moon conjunction Mercury (wide at 3.7°) · For a birth before 8:16 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 9.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
