What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.
How he loves
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch. What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.
Venus quincunx Neptune (close at 1.4°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 1.7°)
What drives him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.
Mars conjunction Saturn (close at 2.4°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his intensity (Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in fire and air signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and ideas and people.
