What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Original, independent and fair. Thinks about how things could work better for everyone. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun trine Uranus (wide at 7.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.

    The Moon square Mars (close at 1.1°)

  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. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 5.7°)

  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 Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars trine Jupiter (wide at 5.7°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his optimism (the Sun, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
