What his chart says about him
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. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.2°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker
Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.
The Moon trine Mars (close at 1.9°) · For a birth before 5:55 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.
How he loves
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit.
How he thinks
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury opposition Neptune (close at 1.8°)
What drives him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Mars opposition Pluto (wide at 3.6°)
