What his chart says about him
Who he is
Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

The Sun opposition Pluto (close at 2.2°)
What he needs
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them.

Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
