What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
The Sun quincunx Pluto (close at 2.6°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra or Scorpio, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
The Moon square Venus (close at 1.8°) · For a birth after 6:46 p.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.
How he loves
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves with steadiness and staying power. Takes commitment seriously and builds something lasting. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus square Jupiter (wide at 6.2°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Mercury trine Uranus (wide at 5.9°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Mars square Uranus (close at 1.2°)
