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. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.

    The Sun square Pluto (wide at 7.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.

    Venus conjunction Uranus (wide at 5.9°)

  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 probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his optimism, his independence and his imagination (Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
