What his chart says about him
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. He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
The Sun quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself.
How he loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.8°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.
Mars conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
