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. Born near a new Moon, so what he wants and what he needs move as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.

    The Sun conjunction the Moon (close at 1.5°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

    Feels everything strongly and privately. Needs trust, loyalty and honesty above all. He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.

    The Moon square Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth after 11:34 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

    Loves with steadiness and staying power. Takes commitment seriously and builds something lasting.

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

    Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

  6. The shape of his chart

    Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touches everything else in it.
