What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.

    The Sun quincunx Pluto (close at 1.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
