What his chart says about him
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. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)
What he needs
Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker
