What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun trine Uranus (close at 2.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus or Aries, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same.

    For a birth before 12:27 a.m., his Moon was in Aries.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

    Venus trine Pluto (close at 1.7°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

    Mercury square Jupiter (exact at 0.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Action guided by imagination: he moves on instinct and feeling, and he gives his all to a vision.

    Mars conjunction Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
