What his chart says about him

What he needs
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different.

Mercury in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Investigator
A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
