What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault

    Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all.

    For a birth before 4:50 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury trine Uranus (close at 1.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
