What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
The Sun square Mars (almost exact at 0.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Sagittarius or Scorpio, the Free Spirit
Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.
The Moon sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.2°) · For a birth before 12:59 a.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.
How he loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
All or nothing in love. Feels intensely and stays loyal to the very end. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Venus trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Searching and sharp. Asks the question nobody else will and keeps the answers close. His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (almost exact at 0.9°)
What drives him
Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel
Driven by ideas and fairness. Fights for change and does things differently. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Mars (close at 1.2°)
The shape of his chart
The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touches everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
