What his chart says about him

  1. 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 drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

    The Sun sextile Mars (close at 1.7°)

  2. What he needs

    Moon in Cancer, the Nest-Maker

    Tender, protective and sensitive to mood. Comfort comes from family, old friends and familiar rooms. Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.

    The Moon square Saturn (close at 1.5°)

  3. How he loves

    Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

    Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

    The Moon square Venus (close at 1.8°)

  4. How he thinks

    Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

    Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.

    Mercury quincunx Uranus (exact at 0.0°)

  5. What drives him

    Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

    Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his heart, his discipline and his imagination (Venus, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first.
