What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.

    The Sun quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year. His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.

    Venus quincunx Uranus (close at 1.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.

    Mercury quincunx Neptune (close at 1.7°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.

    Mars conjunction Uranus (close at 1.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
