What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Cancer, the Protector

    Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.

    The Sun quincunx Neptune (close at 1.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (close at 1.8°) · For a birth after 10:15 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

    Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

    Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
