What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun trine Uranus (wide at 7.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (close at 2.0°)
How he loves
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person. Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.
Venus conjunction Saturn (almost exact at 0.9°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (close at 1.0°)
What drives him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Mars opposition Pluto (close at 1.9°)
The shape of his chart
Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touches everything else in it.
