What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Built to begin. Says yes before the plan is finished and gets everyone else moving. He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.

    The Sun quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.

    The Moon trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°) · For a birth after 5:46 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

    Venus sextile Saturn (close at 1.5°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Taurus or Aries, the Careful Thinker

    A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.

    Mercury quincunx Neptune (close at 2.3°) · For a birth after 10:52 p.m., his Mercury was in Aries.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. 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

    Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touches everything else in it. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
