What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness.
