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. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

    The Sun sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.8°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

    The Sun square the Moon (close at 1.1°) · For a birth before 6:17 a.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.

    Venus conjunction Uranus (close at 1.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator

    Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

    Mercury conjunction Venus (wide at 6.9°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

    Mars trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Uranus) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, water signs hold the most planets: feeling and intuition.
