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. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (close at 1.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide

    Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness. Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

    The Moon sextile Mercury (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth before 8:40 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

    Venus square Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

    Mercury trine Pluto (close at 1.4°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

    Slow to start and impossible to stop. He works steadily, builds things to last and does not give up under pressure. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

    Mars square Uranus (wide at 4.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
