What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
The Sun opposition Mars (wide at 5.8°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
The Moon square Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.
Venus quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
The Moon opposition Mercury (close at 2.5°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans.
