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. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

    The Sun trine Jupiter (wide at 3.8°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Gemini, the Talker

    Sorts out feelings by putting them into words. Needs company, news and a change of scene. His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

    The Moon square Uranus (almost exact at 0.6°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

    Mercury square Saturn (wide at 3.4°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

    Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

    Mercury opposition Mars (wide at 4.5°)

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his feelings and his mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
