What his chart says about him

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.

  4. How he thinks

  5. What drives him

    Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely.

  6. The shape of his chart

    The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
