What his chart says about him
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. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (close at 2.6°)
What he needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Calm in a crisis, private about feelings. Comfort comes from friendship, ideas and space of his own.
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
