What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°)
What he needs
Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart
Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back.
For a birth before 9:56 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.
How he loves
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.5°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere.
What drives him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow to start and impossible to stop. He works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Mars square Uranus (close at 1.8°)
The shape of his chart
Neptune is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his imagination touches everything else in it.
