What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. 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 1.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own. 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 1.3°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

    Venus opposition Jupiter (wide at 5.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Enthusiasm at full speed: he charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow him only briefly.

    Mars conjunction Jupiter (wide at 5.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his discipline (Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
