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. He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

    The Sun opposition Uranus (wide at 3.7°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

    Quick to feel and quick to forgive. Needs to say it, do something about it and move on. He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

    The Moon trine Venus (close at 2.5°)

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Leo, the Romantic

    Grand in affection and fiercely loyal. Likes to celebrate the people dearest to him. Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.

    Venus opposition Saturn (close at 2.9°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

    Mercury trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

    Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

    Mercury trine Mars (close at 1.9°)

  6. 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 earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
