What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius or Pisces, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.

    The Sun quincunx Pluto (close at 1.3°) · For a birth after 2:04 p.m., his Sun was in Pisces.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow and sure. He does not rush, and he is hard to push off course. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

    Mars square Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his optimism and his discipline (Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
