A list of today’s birthday twins at dlisted

If you want to detect writing talent in a birth chart, there are 3 things you want to look for primarily: planets and aspects emanating from the 3rd house, as well as that house’s ruler, Mercury which rules Gemini.

If we look at Ian Fleming’s chart, we see his Sun in Gemini in the 3rd house, sextiling his Jupiter in the 6th house and Saturn in the 1st. While he may not be a literary genius, this configuration gives him the focus and ability to put out a large volume of work.

Moreover, his Mercury is exactly conjunct his 5th house cusp of creativity in a stellium with Pluto, Mars and the North Node, which can indicate our life’s purpose. This configuration gave him a strong voice and a drive to produce. He most likely enjoyed writing the books, even though, as a true Gemini, he himself said, “I always make it a rule never to look back. Otherwise, I’d ask myself how I could write such piffle and live with myself, day after day.”
