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. The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)
What he needs
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
The Moon sextile Venus (exact at 0.0°)
How he loves
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Venus sextile Mars (close at 2.7°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Mercury trine Pluto (close at 1.9°)
What drives him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Mars sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his feelings, his drive and his optimism (the Moon, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Pisces, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
The sky the day he was born

The day
