What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Patient and determined. Plays the long game, earns respect slowly, and grows warmer and more playful with the years. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
The Sun square Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°)
What he needs
Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair.
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. Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Venus opposition Saturn (close at 1.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
A disciplined, realistic mind. Thinks in steps, plans for the long run and says only what is needed. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mercury square Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)
What drives him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Mercury sextile Mars (close at 2.7°)
