What his chart says about him
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.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.7°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along. Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.
The Moon trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he loves
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Venus opposition Saturn (close at 2.9°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.
Mercury quincunx Pluto (close at 1.1°)
What drives him
Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker
Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.
Mars conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
