What his chart says about him

  1. Who he is

    Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

    Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 2.2°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move. He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.

    The Moon opposition Pluto (close at 1.1°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.

    Venus conjunction Mars (close at 2.4°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    Weighs every side before speaking. Diplomatic, graceful and good at finding the words that keep the peace. He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

    Mercury conjunction Uranus (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio or Libra, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.

    Mars conjunction Uranus (close at 1.7°) · For a birth before 3:05 a.m., his Mars was in Libra.

  6. The shape of his chart

    No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
