What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (wide at 3.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius or Pisces, the Cool Head

    Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own.

    For a birth after 9:07 p.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus trine Uranus (close at 2.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

    Mercury square Saturn (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars sextile Uranus (close at 1.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
