What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aries, the Pioneer
Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
The Sun trine Pluto (wide at 3.2°)
What he needs
Moon in Pisces, the Tide
Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company.
How he loves
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Loves selflessly and romantically. Sees the best in people and gives without counting. He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Venus trine Pluto (close at 2.9°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Pisces, the Poet
Thinks in pictures and feelings. Understands people without needing many words.
What drives him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars trine Neptune (close at 1.0°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his feelings, his mind and his heart (the Moon, Mercury and Venus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
