What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

    The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 5.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

    Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (close at 2.4°) · For a birth before 4:59 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.

    Venus conjunction Jupiter (close at 2.6°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

    Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
