What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (wide at 4.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

    Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon opposition Venus (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 8:40 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.

    Venus conjunction Uranus (wide at 4.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. A poet’s mind: he hears what goes unsaid, and his best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.

    Mercury conjunction Neptune (close at 1.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire and air signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and ideas and people.
