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. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
The Sun square Pluto (wide at 4.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Taurus, the Hearth
Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same.
How he loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Venus sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Mercury trine Mars (almost exact at 0.5°)
What drives him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (wide at 6.8°)
The shape of his chart
Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touches everything else in it.
