What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.

    The Sun opposition Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. His feelings run hot and fast, and he protects the people he loves fiercely.

    The Moon conjunction Mars (close at 2.5°) · For a birth after 12:01 p.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (close at 1.9°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

    Mercury square Neptune (wide at 4.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow to start and impossible to stop. He works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

    Mars opposition Saturn (close at 1.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
