What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

    The Sun trine Neptune (wide at 3.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit

    Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in. His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.

    The Moon square Neptune (close at 2.5°) · For a birth after 8:44 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

    Venus trine Saturn (close at 1.7°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

    Mercury sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
