What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself.

    For a birth after 7:24 p.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

    Mercury trine Neptune (close at 1.0°)

  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. Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.

    Mars conjunction Uranus (wide at 5.2°)
