Fire Over Deep Water
An Aries Sun treats every rep like a challenge someone issued. Patience is not the gift here. Initiative is. Underneath is a Cancer Moon. He needs to feel safe in the building, and once he does, he'd run through a wall for it. His Sun and Mars likely form a sextile, an easy link between who he is and how he competes. Fire outside, water inside. What looks like pure competitiveness is running on something much more personal.
- Year of the Monkey: clever, playful, and always working an angle. The Yang Wood layer adds steady ambition that keeps reaching.
- Life path 2: the partner. He makes the guy next to him better.
- Game-day read: spread across the elements. A Swiss Army knife on the depth chart.

- Mars in Gemini gives him a quick, scattered energy that's hard to defend.
- First quarter birth: he meets obstacles head-on and pushes through them.
- North Node in Taurus points him toward patience and staying power.
- Lots of cardinal energy here. He'd rather make the first move than react.
