What his chart says about him

  1. 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 0.4°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

    Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back. Intense, private feelings: he keeps an inner life few people see, and he guards it well.

    The Moon conjunction Pluto (close at 1.2°) · For a birth before 4:33 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.

    Venus square Saturn (close at 2.2°)

  4. 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. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury square Mars (wide at 5.0°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
