Sun in Sagittarius, Moon in Scorpio

Self-confidence and vitality radiate from you, along with optimism and good cheer. Everything grand and far-reaching attracts you, yet you are also exacting and probing, and you pay attention to the details as well as the whole. Education and teaching appeal to you, and you love to pass on what you know. You are a fine psychologist with a deep understanding of people, and you notice the slightest change in the moods of those around you and in the atmosphere of a room. You are generous and kind by nature, and you also have a long emotional memory. Hurts tend to stay with you for a long time, and learning to let old wounds go can bring you real lightness.

Your decisions are colored by great optimism and remarkable self-confidence. You are used to thinking positively and would rather not consider what might go wrong, so a quiet look at the risks can be useful. When you carry out your decisions, though, you work discreetly, with a fine feel for people, and you see their weak points with great accuracy. At times you can be quite cunning, and that insight is at its best when you use it to help. You love to joke and have fun, and you enjoy being admired and showing off a little. Your influence rests on your ability to fill people with optimism. You are honest and fair, and your natural honesty sometimes comes out more bluntly than you mean it to.

You prefer to spend your holidays abroad, far from where you grew up, where you can meet new cultures and new people, widen your outlook and then pass on what you have learned. You relax best where no one will disturb you and you can attend to your private affairs. Everything hidden and unspoken fascinates you. You want to get to the bottom of things and you are drawn to depth.

You are impulsive and passionate, and you feel strongly protective of everything and everyone you consider yours. You tend to keep a close watch over your loved ones and may want to know their every move, and trusting them with a little more freedom can bring you closer. With friends and the wider world, though, you are broad-minded and let people live as they choose, without sitting in judgment over them.

Even your care for others can carry a note of possessiveness. Your emotions run deep and intense, though you rarely show them openly. People sometimes sense a certain heaviness or seriousness in you. At times something in you is tempted to shake up a relationship that is calm and settled, and noticing that impulse is already a step toward peace. You feel uneasy when you lose control of what is happening.

What you set out to do and what you need inside do not always pull in the same direction, and listening to both is part of your path.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a cheerful, optimistic and friendly nature, a love of sport and an interest in philosophy and religion, and he is often drawn to a partner with emotional depth, passion and great inner strength. In a woman's chart, it can make adapting to others harder and puts a strong emphasis on her resilience, and she is drawn to a partner who is open, adaptable and fond of travel, with the soul of a mentor.
