What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.

    The Moon square Jupiter (close at 2.2°)

  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. What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Taurus or Gemini, the Careful Thinker

    Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury trine Mars (close at 1.1°) · For a birth after 3:33 p.m., his Mercury was in Gemini.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (wide at 3.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
