What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Architect
Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. 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 (close at 3.0°) · For a birth after 1:33 p.m., his Sun was in Aquarius.
What he needs
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.

The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 4.1°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.

What drives him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.
