Wind Behind the Flame
Libra Sun. Plays with rhythm and timing more than force. Mendoza is at his best when everything around him is in balance. Underneath is a Sagittarius Moon. He needs freedom to feel good, and a little fun keeps him dangerous. Call it the favorite at 97%, with a 3% chance it was Capricorn instead. His Moon and Mars may form a sextile, which would mean passion with control. A cool head with a hot core. He looks like he's just reading the field, but the competitive fire is doing the driving.
- Goat energy is creative and cooperative. He plays his best when he feels supported. With Yin Water underneath, intuition does a lot of the work.
- A life path 7 trusts what he's studied more than what he's told.
- Between the lines: a little of everything, led by quick processing.
