What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

    Calm, patient and loyal. Grows good things slowly and keeps them for years. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun trine Neptune (close at 1.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

    The Moon sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth before 4:59 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. 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. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.

    Mercury quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Action guided by imagination: he moves on instinct and feeling, and he gives his all to a vision.

    Mars conjunction Neptune (wide at 4.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his imagination (Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
