What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer

    Dreamy, kind and quietly perceptive. People come away feeling seen. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.

    The Sun opposition Pluto (close at 1.4°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Keeps feelings under control and feels safest when life is organised and secure. Self-contained: he keeps his feelings in order, and he gives comfort in practical ways rather than in words.

    The Moon conjunction Saturn (exact at 0.0°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.

    Venus quincunx Pluto (close at 2.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Pisces, the Poet

    Dreamy and perceptive. Remembers how a moment felt better than what was said in it.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Achiever

    Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

    Venus conjunction Mars (close at 3.0°) · For a birth after 1:12 p.m., his Mars was in Aquarius.

  6. The shape of his chart

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