What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done.
What he needs
Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
The Moon trine Mercury (close at 1.6°) · For a birth after 4:44 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.
How he loves
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person.
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mercury sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)
What drives him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Mars square Pluto (wide at 5.1°)
The shape of his chart
