What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

    The Sun square the Moon (close at 1.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (close at 1.8°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

    Mercury square Neptune (wide at 3.4°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in air and water signs: ideas and people, and feeling and intuition.
