Okay, so I wanted to mess around with this astrology thing for a bit and I figured, why not start with someone famous? I picked John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, born May 29, 1917. I mean, the guy was a Gemini and I hear that’s a big deal in this stuff. Everyone says he’s famous for being quick and outgoing. Guess that’s part of the Gemini package, huh?
First off, I had to find this “birth chart” thing. Apparently, it’s like a snapshot of the sky when you were born. Sounds kinda poetic, right? It shows where all the planets were. They say it can tell you a bunch about yourself, but I was skeptical.
I found out that this birth chart thing is also called a “natal chart”. It sounded like detective work, tracking the planets. Anyways, I dug up JFK’s chart. They had all these terms like “Gemini sun” and “Aquarius moon”. I’m just here thinking, “What does all this even mean?”
Then I learned about this thing called the “Grand Cross” or “Grand Square”. They say it’s super rare. It’s when four planets are lined up in a square on the chart. It sounds cool, but I wasn’t sure if JFK had it. I just wanted to see what his deal was, astronomically speaking.
I also stumbled upon something about “Neptune in Leo”. People were talking about how it relates to charisma. I mean, JFK definitely had that, so maybe there’s something to this Neptune thing after all.
So, I started comparing all this info, trying to piece together what makes JFK, well, JFK. I mean, if the planets were aligned a certain way when you came into the world, it must mean something, right?
I kept digging and found that his birth chart had a bunch of other planets, like Mercury, Uranus, and Pluto. Some guy, Keanu Reeves, also had these in his chart, and he is a Virgo. So, who knows how much of this is connected.
Anyways, I spent hours on this. It felt like I was reading a different language. But it was kinda fun, like solving a little mystery. I’m not saying I’m an astrology expert now, but it was an interesting way to spend an afternoon.
In the end, I didn’t become a believer or anything, but I can see why people get into this. It’s like a cosmic puzzle. And who doesn’t love a good puzzle? Even if you don’t buy into all the details, it gets you thinking about how we’re all connected to the bigger universe.

The Bottom Line
It was a wild ride, but hey, I got a story out of it. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll look up at the stars a little differently now. Or not. We’ll see.
