What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker
A free mind with a strong sense of fairness. Friendly to everyone and hard to pin down. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
The Sun sextile Saturn (exact at 0.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Steady Hand
Handles feelings by getting on with things. Needs security, respect and quiet proof of being needed.
For a birth after 8:06 p.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.
How he loves
Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner
Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Venus trine Jupiter (close at 1.3°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury square Neptune (almost exact at 0.4°)
What drives him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Mars opposition Pluto (wide at 7.5°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
