What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Architect

    Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

    The Sun quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth after 8:49 p.m., his Sun was in Aquarius.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.

    The Moon trine Pluto (close at 1.5°) · For a birth after 6:12 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
