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 drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 8.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide

    Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company.

    For a birth before 10:36 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. 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. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

    Venus opposition Saturn (close at 2.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

    Mercury trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touches everything else in it.
