What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (close at 2.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.

    Venus quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Thinks fast and speaks plainly. Ideas arrive whole and leave his mouth a second later. Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

    Mercury square Jupiter (close at 3.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first.
