What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. 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 8.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender
Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
The Moon opposition Jupiter (close at 2.3°) · For a birth before 4:06 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.
How he loves
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night.
How he thinks
Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller
Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers.
What drives him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.3°)
