Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Libra

Your nature holds strong opposites: an urge to break harmony and a deep, hidden longing for it, independence from what others think and a real gift for diplomacy, passion and a need for distance in relationships. Your life energy is directed toward deep transformation, both of yourself and of the people closest to you. Your will is very strong and your energy is powerful. Strong passions are at work deep inside you, though others do not always notice them. You are a subtle psychologist and you understand people well. You like to stay in the background, where you can watch, keep things in hand and at times steer others quietly, and you are at your best when you use this insight with care. At the same time, you are a master of conversation and easy, pleasant talk.

You are diplomatic and focused on partnership, and you can be very charming and friendly. You dislike conflict and try to manage without it. If a conflict cannot be avoided, though, you do not back down and you show all your willpower and inner strength. You have a talent for releasing what is outworn, which lets you pass through crises creatively and emerge renewed. You make your decisions privately, guided by your innate intuition. You carry them out with grace and refinement. You can charm the people you turn to so completely that they are happy to help you, almost as if under a spell. You tend toward intense self-analysis and self-criticism, and a kinder inner voice can be a relief. Your mind is sharp, insightful and critical. You are very affectionate toward the people you like. You can be jealous and possessive. Your emotional memory is strong, and you remember a hurt for a long time and may feel the wish to answer it. Letting old grievances go is part of your path. In love you are also sincere and considerate, attentive to what your partner wishes, and this gentleness softens the strong feelings beneath.

You like to rest through adventure and risk, because thrills and emotions that stir the soul draw you strongly. At the same time, you unwind in a harmonious atmosphere of kind, easy conversation with pleasant people. You tend to keep a certain distance in your relationships. You always keep your emotions under control, and impulsive displays of feeling make you uneasy. At home you try to keep an atmosphere of love and harmony, and you pay close attention to the look of the interior and the mood that fills the house. Fairness is very close to your heart, because for you justice is part of harmony.

What you set out to do and what you need inside do not always pull in the same direction, and making room for both brings you calm.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a strong will, an interest in questions of life and death, passion and depth, and it often draws him to a partner who is sociable, balanced and devoted to partnership. In a woman's chart, it brings a great love of harmony and of art, and she is often drawn to a partner who is shrewd, strong-willed and unsentimental.
