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. Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

    The Sun conjunction Mars (wide at 3.8°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help.

    For a birth before 9:48 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

  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 1.6°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

    Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.

    Mercury conjunction Mars (close at 1.9°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

    Mars square Neptune (wide at 4.0°)

  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, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
