What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Pisces or Aries, the Dreamer
Soft-hearted and full of imagination. Picks up on feelings nobody has said out loud. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth after 4:17 p.m., his Sun was in Aries.
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit
Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
The Sun trine the Moon (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth before 10:54 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.
How he loves
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus opposition Jupiter (close at 3.0°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Pisces or Aries, the Poet
An intuitive, imaginative mind. Thinks in images and picks up what is left unsaid. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth after 2:48 p.m., his Mercury was in Aries.
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.
Mars quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)
The shape of his chart
The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in eight of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in fire and water signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and feeling and intuition.
