What his chart says about him
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. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 5.2°)
What he needs
Moon in Leo or Virgo, the Warm Heart
Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
The Moon trine Mercury (close at 1.5°) · For a birth after 11:18 p.m., his Moon was in Virgo.
How he loves
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Venus trine Uranus (close at 1.0°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.
Mercury conjunction Saturn (almost exact at 0.9°)
What drives him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow to start and impossible to stop. He works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
Mars opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.5°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
