What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit
Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reach him as if they are his own.
The Moon conjunction Neptune (close at 2.4°)
How he loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.
Venus conjunction Uranus (close at 2.1°)
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. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Mercury square Saturn (close at 1.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mars trine Saturn (close at 1.8°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his feelings, his mind and his imagination (the Moon, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
