What his chart says about him

  1. 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. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

    The Sun opposition Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth after 2:42 p.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

    Venus conjunction Mars (close at 2.5°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Speaks with warmth and confidence and tells a great story. Thinks in big, bold ideas. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

  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.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his heart, his drive and his optimism (Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
