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 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 2.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Libra or Scorpio, the Peacemaker

    Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with. His feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, he did something about it.

    The Moon trine Mars (close at 1.2°) · For a birth after 5:35 p.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

    Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.

    Venus sextile Pluto (close at 2.8°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Quick, witty and endlessly curious. Picks up a subject fast and can talk about ten things at once. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in air signs: ideas and people.
