What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Capricorn, the Architect

    Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (close at 2.9°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

    Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.

    The Moon sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.5°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

    Venus sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.1°)

  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 fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars sextile Jupiter (close at 1.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
