What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Deep, watchful and all in. Trusts slowly, and once trust is given, it is given completely. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.3°)
What he needs
Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide
Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company. His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
The Sun trine the Moon (almost exact at 0.4°) · For a birth after 10:31 p.m., his Moon was in Aries.
How he loves
Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee
Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Venus trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
Mercury conjunction Mars (wide at 6.3°)
What drives him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Quietly powerful. Works in private, holds nothing back, and does not give up. When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.
Mars quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)
