From what I have gauged over the years, strong Scorpio placements are VERY apparent in an one's personality, especially with that fixed “my way or the highway” mentality. Stellium in the 8th house, plus the chart ruler located in the 8th. Also Mars conjuncting Pluto and the South Node in Scorpio. Yup, that should do it.

Not to mention the Taurus Ascendant, Moon/IC in Leo, and Jupiter/MC in Aquarius. Fixed all the way.

Scorpio: No. As to signs, Capricorn is clearly dominant and the final signature is Fixed Earth (assuming the Asc sign is actually Taurus).

Pluto: No. It is important to distinguish between a chart that has a strongly featured planet and a person's actual stronger planets overall. Mars conjunct Pluto in Scorpio does not make Pluto the dominant planet. Pluto increases the strength of Mars in this conjunction as it is the personal planet. Outer planets strengthen inner ones by aspect. Outer planets are strengthened by their chart position (direction/house) and number of aspects.

Sun is stronger due to its aspects in extreme declination with Venus, Uranus, Neptune. Saturn is clearly stronger due to its angular position in the 7th house and in at least a wide contra-parallel to Asc, as seen in the Shadbala graph from recreating an approximate chart:

Water: No. As to element, already covered above. Sun, Venus, Neptune, Asc, North Node are in earth signs.

Fixed quality: yes, already covered. Part of Fixed Earth signature.

They're an earth dominant, first and foremost. I mean, obviously, their Capricorn stellium plays out in a very emotional, intuitive sense in the 8th house, but it's still an earth stellium. And then there's their Taurus ASC. I would say that this person is more likely to come off as practical, hardworking, nonsense type of personality. But maybe in a more quiet, subtle way than your typical Cap.

Correct.

For free dominants, I would recommend 12andus.

For example, I believe astrotheme's dominants calculator seems far more accurate, though you have to pay for the service. You can also see their celebrity dominants compared to astro's and see it is a bit more accurate. Astrotheme says they take more criteria into account for their chart readings other than just general things. I wanna know exactly what it is though because...lol.

I can actually see both earth and water dominant in your friend's chart. Most of their planets are in water houses and then pluto home in scorpio near an angle. The water house stellium also belonging to Pluto. Also, I'm wondering, is this a noon chart or this chart has the actual birth time?

Nope 12Andus was one of the worse I have seen! It chooses dominants based only on asc ruler, it is not able to do more adwanced calculations then that. So sorry but that sites algorytm sucks worse then astro.coms algorytm :/

But their astrology reports with birtchart answers etc I really like so its a site I use for their reports

https://www.horoscopeyourself.com/personal-horoscope/ Seems to have a very good algorym where it also lists all your planets % wise. Check that one out and compare them if you like Maybe I just had better luck?
