What his chart says about him

  1. 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 (wide at 8.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

    Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

    Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.1°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. Force and restraint keep trading places, and he learns when to let go.

    Mars quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
