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. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.

    The Sun trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Taurus, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on.

    For a birth after 4:49 p.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (close at 2.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.

    Mercury quincunx Uranus (close at 2.6°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his heart and his optimism (Mercury, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
