What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.
The Sun trine the Moon (almost exact at 0.3°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
The Moon trine Mercury (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.
Venus quincunx Pluto (close at 2.6°)
How he thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (almost exact at 0.5°)
What drove him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 3.4°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
