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. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (close at 1.3°) · For a birth before 5:52 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

    Venus opposition Uranus (wide at 6.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury trine Uranus (close at 1.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

    Mars opposition Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
