What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself. His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. What he finds beautiful and what he desires keep parting ways, and love takes some working out.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo or Virgo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars trine Jupiter (wide at 6.5°) · For a birth before 5:28 a.m., his Mars was in Virgo.

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
