What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

    Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.

    The Sun conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit

    Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.

    The Moon trine Pluto (close at 2.5°) · For a birth before 8:48 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aries, the Spark

    Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. 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 (almost exact at 0.2°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (wide at 6.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
