What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

    The Sun square Saturn (close at 1.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness.

    For a birth before 7:21 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.

    Venus square Pluto (wide at 6.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury trine Mars (wide at 3.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

    Mars square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)

  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. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
