The Spark and the Wind
Technically an Aries Sun, but pressed against Taurus. Starts fast, refuses to fade, and doesn't love being told to change course. Gemini Moon. Processes everything out loud. Talks through it, laughs through it, and moves on. His Sun and Mars pull against each other. Rivalries bring out his best. A thinking mind fueling a competitive one. He reads it, then he attacks it, with very little delay in between.
- Rabbit energy is grace under pressure. Smooth, light, and smarter than he lets on. With Yin Earth in the mix, he's steady, supportive, and easy to rely on.
- Life path 6 means duty to the group. He plays for the people around him.
- Between the lines: speed of mind and speed of feet. He sees it and attacks it.

- With the North Node in Leo, he's built toward confidence and creative leadership.
- Cardinal and mutable split the lead. Quick to move, quick to adjust.
- Mars was retrograde when he was born. The drive turns inward, so he's often hardest on himself.
