What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (almost exact at 0.1°)
What he needs
Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart
Needs to feel loved, appreciated and a little special, and gives warmth generously in return. His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
The Moon square Neptune (close at 2.8°)
How he loves
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Venus trine Uranus (close at 1.5°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mercury sextile Saturn (close at 2.5°)
What drives him
Mars in Cancer, the Defender
Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Mars opposition Saturn (wide at 3.7°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
