What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter (close at 2.1°)
What he needs
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Moon square Uranus (almost exact at 0.6°)
How he loves
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Venus square Uranus (wide at 5.0°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind
Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Mercury sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°)
What drives him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.
Mars quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)
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. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
