What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (wide at 3.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed.

    For a birth before 12:01 a.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.

    Venus opposition Pluto (close at 1.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it. What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.

    Mercury quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.

    Mars quincunx Neptune (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Pisces, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
