Joe Root’s birth chart

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. Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.

   The Sun conjunction Uranus (close at 1.1°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Gemini, the Talker

   Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

   Loves with steadiness and staying power. Takes commitment seriously and builds something lasting. Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.

   Venus conjunction Saturn (close at 2.6°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

   A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. Thinking and doing keep getting out of step: he acts on half a thought, or thinks past the moment to act.

   Mercury quincunx Mars (close at 2.6°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Slow to start and impossible to stop. He works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

   Mars trine Saturn (close at 2.3°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his heart, his discipline, his independence and his imagination (the Sun, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
