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. 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 (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Leo or Virgo, the Warm Heart

    Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return.

    For a birth after 1:12 p.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Kindred Spirit

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

    For a birth after 12:47 p.m., his Venus was in Capricorn.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.

    Mercury quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
