What his chart says about him

  1. 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. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun trine Mars (almost exact at 0.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

    Proud, warm and loyal in feeling. Needs to be appreciated, and makes loved ones feel like stars. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon opposition Venus (close at 1.0°) · For a birth before 3:42 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

    Loves friend-first. Falls for a mind, needs room to breathe, and is drawn to people who are a little different. What he finds beautiful and what he desires keep parting ways, and love takes some working out.

    Venus quincunx Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.

    Mercury trine Mars (close at 2.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step.

  6. The shape of his chart

    No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
