What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker

    Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.

    For a birth after 11:06 p.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Cancer or Gemini, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

    Venus opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth before 2:27 a.m., his Venus was in Gemini.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus trine Mars (close at 2.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his discipline, his independence and his imagination (Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
