What his chart says about him
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.
What he needs
Moon in Scorpio or Libra, the Vault
Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mercury (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 6:00 a.m., his Moon was in Libra.
How he loves
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person.
How he thinks

An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mercury opposition Uranus (close at 2.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
