What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (wide at 6.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Pisces, 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. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (almost exact at 0.9°) · For a birth before 7:17 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.

    Mercury quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (close at 1.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in eight of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
