What his chart says about him

  1. 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 (close at 1.0°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene.

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.

    Venus trine Jupiter (close at 1.0°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

    A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

    Mercury conjunction Uranus (wide at 4.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

    Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars trine Jupiter (wide at 4.3°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his drive (the Sun, Venus and Mars) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
