What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°)
What he needs
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
The Moon trine Venus (close at 2.7°)
How he loves
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Venus square Neptune (exact at 0.0°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 5.6°)
What drives him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new.
The shape of his chart
