The Sun conjunction Venus (close at 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°)
How he loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

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.
