What his chart says about him
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. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun trine Uranus (close at 1.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender
Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help.
For a birth after 2:59 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.
How he loved
Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer
Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
Venus quincunx Uranus (exact at 0.0°)
How he thought
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. 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 (wide at 5.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson
Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (wide at 3.5°)
