What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker

    Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. Force and restraint keep trading places, and he learns when to let go.

    Mars quincunx Pluto (close at 1.4°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
