What his chart says about him

  1. 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. Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.

    The Sun conjunction Saturn (close at 2.5°)

  2. What he needed

    Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

    Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them.

  3. How he loved

    Venus in Aries, the Chaser

    Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.

    Venus sextile Pluto (close at 1.0°)

  4. How he thought

    Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

    A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.

    Mercury sextile Neptune (close at 2.8°)

  5. What drove him

    Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

    Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.

  6. The shape of his chart

    In his chart, his identity, his discipline and his intensity (the Sun, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
