What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

    The Sun opposition Saturn (wide at 6.6°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

    The Moon sextile Mercury (close at 1.3°) · For a birth after 5:46 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (wide at 5.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury opposition Uranus (wide at 5.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 2.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touches everything else in it.
