What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun sextile Saturn (close at 2.6°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness.

    For a birth before 8:11 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

    Venus conjunction Mars (close at 2.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

    Mercury opposition Jupiter (wide at 4.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way.
