What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 2.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.

    The Moon square Pluto (close at 1.1°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

    Venus square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)

  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 Leo, the Leader

    Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars square Neptune (wide at 4.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touches everything else in it.
