What his chart says about him

  1. 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. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun sextile Neptune (close at 1.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around him feel the same. His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.

    The Moon trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

    Venus square Mars (wide at 4.5°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Clever, unusual and ahead of the moment. Loves ideas for their own sake and thinks about everyone, not only the few. Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.

    Mercury quincunx Uranus (close at 1.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it.

  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. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
