What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

    The Sun sextile Pluto (wide at 4.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit

    Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in.

    For a birth after 10:37 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Warm, adventurous and hard to fence in. Falls for laughter, big ideas and wide-open plans. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.2°)

  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. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 2.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

    Mars square Saturn (wide at 4.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touches everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
