What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Gemini or Taurus, the Messenger
A mind that won’t sit still. Lights up at a new idea and loves passing it on before it has cooled. Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun sextile Neptune (close at 2.3°) · For a birth before 7:59 a.m., his Sun was in Taurus.
What he needed
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. Tenderness through and through: he needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.
The Moon conjunction Venus (close at 3.0°)
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Playful, curious and charming in love. Wants variety, banter and a mind to match. Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun conjunction Venus (wide at 6.8°)
How he thought
Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker
Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mercury square Uranus (close at 1.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course.
