Jefferson Davis’ birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. 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. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

   The Sun square Pluto (close at 1.8°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Libra or Virgo, the Peacemaker

   Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair.

   For a birth before 2:35 a.m., his Moon was in Virgo.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

   Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.

   Venus conjunction Mars (wide at 5.9°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

   Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.

   Mercury square Jupiter (wide at 5.0°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

   Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

   Mars opposition Neptune (almost exact at 0.7°)

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. In his chart, air and water signs hold the most planets: ideas and people, and feeling and intuition.
