What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

    The Sun opposition Uranus (wide at 4.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

    Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair.

    For a birth before 1:08 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

  3. 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. A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (wide at 3.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 5.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
