What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. Born original: his identity and his need for freedom were the same thing, and he surprised people, himself included.

    The Sun conjunction Uranus (close at 2.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aquarius or Capricorn, the Cool Head

    Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.

    The Moon trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth before 3:36 a.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

    Venus sextile Jupiter (close at 1.6°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

    Mercury square Saturn (close at 1.5°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Enthusiasm at full speed: he charged at life with confidence, and setbacks slowed him only briefly.

    Mars conjunction Jupiter (wide at 7.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his drive, his optimism and his independence (the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
