What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Big-hearted and bright. Brings warmth into a room and loves to see other people do well. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

    The Sun opposition Uranus (wide at 5.3°)

  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. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

    The Moon opposition Mercury (close at 1.7°) · For a birth after 11:05 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

    Venus conjunction Mars (close at 2.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.

    Mercury quincunx Jupiter (close at 2.1°)

  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. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars trine Jupiter (wide at 5.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it.
