What his chart says about him

  1. 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. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.

    The Sun square Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)

  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. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (close at 2.4°) · For a birth before 12:47 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury trine Mars (close at 2.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts.

    Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
