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. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

    The Sun square Uranus (close at 2.3°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries or Pisces, the Quick Flame

    Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.

    The Moon trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°) · For a birth before 7:47 a.m., his Moon was in Pisces.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.

    Venus conjunction Saturn (close at 1.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (wide at 6.3°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his discipline (the Sun, Venus and Saturn) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
