What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

    The Sun square Saturn (almost exact at 0.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer

    Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

    Venus trine Uranus (close at 1.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Frank, curious and full of opinions. Thinks in big pictures and loves a debate about what really matters.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars square Neptune (wide at 6.1°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his mind, his heart and his drive (Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
