What his chart says about him

  1. Who he was

    Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

    Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo, the Mender

    Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.

    The Moon square Mercury (close at 1.6°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

    Venus trine Neptune (wide at 5.5°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere.

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Leo, the Leader

    Bold, proud and full of drive. Wants to lead, works hardest on what is dear to him, and wants to be recognised for it. Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.

    Mars conjunction Pluto (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
