What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. 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 (almost exact at 0.4°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer or Gemini, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and holds on to what matters. Needs a place to come home to and people who stay. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
The Moon square Jupiter (close at 2.4°) · For a birth before 10:44 a.m., his Moon was in Gemini.
How he loves
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Venus trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Mercury sextile Mars (close at 2.3°)
What drives him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Works best alongside others. Prefers diplomacy to battle, and fights for justice when it counts. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun sextile Mars (close at 1.9°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his independence (Mars, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first.
