What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.

    The Sun conjunction Uranus (close at 1.5°)

  2. 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 11:57 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.

    Venus conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.9°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.

    Mercury conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, Venus, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
