What his chart says about him

  1. 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. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

    The Moon trine Mercury (close at 1.6°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus trine Uranus (close at 1.6°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    All drive, courage and quick starts. Goes first, acts fast, and is at his best when something needs doing now. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

    Mars trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Venus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his heart touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in fire and earth signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and the practical and the solid.
