Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
The Sun sextile Saturn (wide at 5.6°)
What he needs
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
The Moon sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)
