What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart

    Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (close at 2.5°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. 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 (wide at 8.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
