What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 2.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it.

    For a birth before 2:21 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 2.7°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

    Mercury trine Neptune (wide at 4.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

    Mars opposition Jupiter (wide at 7.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
