What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
The Sun square Pluto (exact at 0.0°)
What he needs
Moon in Taurus, the Hearth
Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same.
How he loves
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 8.7°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point.
What drives him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Works from instinct and compassion. Fights for others more easily than for himself. His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mars sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)
The shape of his chart
The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
