What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

    Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Mars is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his drive touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
