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. The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

    The Sun opposition the Moon (wide at 3.1°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Taurus, the Hearth

    Calm, warm and steady. Feels safest with good food, soft things and a familiar routine, and makes everyone around him feel the same. His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

    The Moon opposition Mercury (close at 2.8°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Made for partnership. Loves beauty, fairness and romance. A deep, private heart: he draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.

    Venus conjunction Pluto (close at 1.3°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. 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 5.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Cancer, the Defender

    Protective to the core. Puts every ounce of strength behind family and the people dearest to him. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

    Mars trine Uranus (close at 2.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
