What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer or Leo, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (close at 2.4°) · For a birth after 7:56 p.m., his Sun was in Leo.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it.

    For a birth after 11:41 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

    Venus sextile Saturn (close at 1.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks with feeling and remembers everything that mattered. Speaks kindly and reads between the lines. 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 (wide at 3.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touches everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
