What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Capricorn or Sagittarius, the Architect

    Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

    The Sun trine Uranus (wide at 5.1°) · For a birth before 8:16 a.m., his Sun was in Sagittarius.

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio, the Vault

    Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them. Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon square Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (wide at 3.6°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

    Mercury sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (wide at 5.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his feelings, his heart and his imagination (the Moon, Venus and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth and water signs: the practical and the solid, and feeling and intuition.
