What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.
The Sun opposition the Moon (almost exact at 0.8°)
What he needs
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.
How he loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (close at 1.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.
Mercury quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (close at 2.0°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his feelings, his drive, his discipline and his independence (the Moon, Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
