What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.

    The Sun quincunx Neptune (wide at 3.4°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them.

    For a birth before 5:24 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls quickly and wholeheartedly. Needs passion and a little challenge to stay interested. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus sextile Uranus (close at 2.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury opposition Mars (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his intensity (Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
