What his chart says about him
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. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Uranus (close at 1.1°)
What he needs
Moon in Leo or Virgo, the Warm Heart
Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars. Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.
The Moon opposition Saturn (close at 1.4°) · For a birth after 10:57 p.m., his Moon was in Virgo.
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.
Venus sextile Jupiter (close at 1.0°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Mercury quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)
What drives him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
