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. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun sextile Uranus (close at 1.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.

    The Moon trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.5°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart

    Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

    Venus square Uranus (wide at 6.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

    Mercury square Pluto (close at 1.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Skilful, hardworking and modest. Gets ahead through practice, precision and getting the details right. Enthusiasm at full speed: he charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow him only briefly.

    Mars conjunction Jupiter (wide at 5.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his feelings and his mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
