What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

    The Sun opposition Uranus (wide at 5.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

    Venus trine Pluto (close at 1.9°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.

    Mercury quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

    Mars opposition Saturn (wide at 5.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first.
