What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

    The Sun trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker

    Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

    The Moon opposition Mercury (close at 2.4°) · For a birth before 1:21 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (wide at 5.2°)

  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 Sagittarius, the Champion

    Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

    Mars sextile Pluto (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his drive and his imagination (the Sun, Mars and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
