What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.6°)
What he needs
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
The Moon sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he loves
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Venus square Saturn (close at 2.8°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
