George Best’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

   Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

   The Sun trine Neptune (wide at 5.3°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

   Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.

   The Moon opposition Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

   Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love.

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

   Mercury sextile Saturn (close at 1.2°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Leo, the Leader

   Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

   Mars sextile Uranus (close at 2.2°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus 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.
