What the chart says

In astrology, a Gemini Sun reads as curious and quick, a Capricorn Moon as ambitious and long-term: a 150° gap astrologers call awkward, two parts that need translating, the same pair Johnny Depp carries. By the book, Venus in Cancer + Mercury in Gemini + Saturn in Taurus reads as someone who cares by looking after, juggles five threads and learns what's enough. Elements run earth 42%, air 37%, water 19%, fire 2%, cardinal first at 47%, the nearest mix to Michael Palin.
