What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun opposition Uranus (close at 3.0°)
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. His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
The Moon trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°)
How he loved
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.
Venus opposition Mars (wide at 6.3°)
How he thought
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. 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 (wide at 3.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist
Determined, focused and private. Plans quietly and never forgets a goal. He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars trine Neptune (almost exact at 0.9°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
