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. His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
The Sun sextile the Moon (close at 1.4°)
What he needs
Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand
Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.
How he loves
Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart
Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Venus sextile Uranus (close at 1.6°)
How he thinks
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
Thinks in depth and wants the real story. Says little and notices everything. 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 (close at 3.0°)
What drives him
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Moves by intuition and feeling. Finds strength in service and in standing up for someone else. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (close at 2.5°)
