What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

    Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 1.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Feels best with space, laughter and something to look forward to. Gets restless when fenced in.

  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. He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

    Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.

    Mercury conjunction Jupiter (wide at 3.3°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart, his optimism and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
