What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)
What he needs
Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart
Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
The Moon square Venus (close at 2.5°)
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.
How he thinks
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. 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 (wide at 8.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Mars sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
