What the chart says

In astrology, a Gemini Sun reads as curious and quick, a Virgo Moon as precise and self-critical: signs at a right angle, so outer self and inner self argue, the same pair Natalie Portman carries. By the book, Mercury in Gemini + Mars in Taurus + Saturn in Cancer reads as someone who juggles five threads, pushes slowly and never stops and learns to feel safely. Elements run earth 51%, air 42%, water 5%, fire 2%, mutable first at 72%, the nearest mix to Buzz Aldrin.
