What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Sun trine Jupiter (close at 1.4°)
What he needs
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
The Moon sextile Venus (almost exact at 0.9°)
How he loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
Venus square Pluto (wide at 3.1°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 3.3°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of his chart
