What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. 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 2.8°)
What he needs
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different.
How he loves
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Venus sextile Uranus (close at 1.7°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour.
What drives him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
