What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.

    The Sun quincunx Pluto (close at 1.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces, the Tide

    Soaks up the feelings around him. Needs gentleness, music and time alone to come back to himself.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius or Pisces, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

    Venus opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth after 2:22 p.m., his Venus was in Pisces.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (close at 1.8°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
