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. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 1.1°)
What he needs
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.
The Moon trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)
How he loves
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (close at 2.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
The Moon trine Mercury (close at 1.8°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Fights hardest for the people closest to him. Works best for a cause that feels personal. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (close at 2.4°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his optimism and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
