What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

    The Sun opposition Jupiter (wide at 4.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand

    Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed. His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.

    The Moon square Neptune (close at 1.8°) · For a birth after 5:00 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  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 (wide at 6.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

    Mercury square Pluto (wide at 3.8°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (close at 1.1°)
