What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun square Saturn (close at 2.9°)
What he needs
Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault
Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely.
For a birth before 6:32 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.
How he loves
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves with compassion and imagination. Wants a romantic, gentle bond. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Mars (wide at 3.3°)
What drives him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up.
