Profile

The Simmer

Scorpio goes all the way in or not at all. Commitment like that earns trust in the building and makes him miserable to line up against. The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo on his birthday. Showman or perfectionist, and maybe a perfectionist about the show. Venus and Mars clash in his chart. He wants harmony and wants to fight, often at the same time. Quiet on the surface, fire underneath. He doesn't look like the most competitive guy in the room, and that's the trick.

  • Year of the Dog: loyal, honest, and the guy who always has your back. The Yang Wood layer adds steady ambition that keeps reaching.
  • Life path 8 means authority and results. He wants the contract, the ring, and the respect.
  • Game-day read: fire and water share the chart. Hot emotion and deep instinct, which makes him streaky and dangerous.
▸ Full chart read
  • Mars in Leo. He competes for the spotlight and wants the big play.
  • His birth Moon was at last quarter or a waning crescent. Adaptable and wise beyond his years.
  • North Node in Scorpio: the path forward means letting go of what's comfortable.
  • Lots of fixed energy here. Consistency is his superpower, and change is his challenge.
  • With Mercury retrograde in his chart, his best ideas come from going back over the tape.
  • Born with Venus retrograde, so his style and values are entirely his own.

The 2026 season

Transiting Pluto is pressing on his Sun. Intensity rises, and something has to give. It's in range now through Feb 15, 2029, close but never exact this season. Post-birthday game: the Buccaneers on Sun, Nov 1, three days after. New year, same goal.

  • Pluto square natal SunJan 10, 2026 to Feb 15, 2029
  • Jupiter conjunction natal MarsAug 16 to Sep 13

Transits use a 3° orb (5° for returns). Listed ones are in range at some point during the regular season; exact dates are within the season.
