What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (wide at 7.9°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head

    Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own.

    For a birth after 3:23 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

    Venus square Jupiter (wide at 6.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

    Mercury opposition Uranus (wide at 4.7°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. Force and restraint keep trading places, and he learns when to let go.

    Mars quincunx Pluto (close at 1.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
