What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.

    The Sun conjunction Jupiter (wide at 8.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.

    The Moon trine Neptune (close at 1.0°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

    Venus trine Neptune (close at 2.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 2.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He does not rush, and he is hard to push off course. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (close at 1.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Venus, Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
