What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

    Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

    The Sun square Mars (almost exact at 0.4°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

    Venus sextile Mars (close at 1.9°)

  4. 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 quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (close at 2.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

    Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

    Mars square Jupiter (wide at 4.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his feelings, his mind, his optimism and his imagination (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
