What his chart says about him

  1. 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. Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

    The Sun conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.6°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

    The Sun square the Moon (close at 2.4°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

    Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.

    Venus conjunction Uranus (close at 1.2°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.7°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Energetic and bold, driven by belief. Aims high and sets off with enthusiasm. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

    Mars trine Jupiter (wide at 4.6°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
