What his chart says about him
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. 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 2.9°)
What he needed
Moon in Scorpio, the Vault
Feels hard and shows little. Needs loyalty, privacy and a few people worth trusting completely.
How he loved
Venus in Taurus, the Keeper
Loves slowly, loyally and through the senses. Once someone is let in, they stay in, and they are cared for in ways they can touch.
How he thought
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange.
What drove him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Electric: he acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.
Mars conjunction Uranus (wide at 6.2°)
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.
