Geronimo, Apache Leader
Sun: Gemini
Ascendant: Unknown
Moon: Leo

Geronimo was born with a configuration known as a kite in his natal chart. Kites are basically a Grand Trine with an opposition thrown in, forming a kite-like formation. Grand Trines are known to be extremely lucky aspects in a birth chart, but the energy often goes to waste because there is nothing spurring on the person to action. In a kite, an opposition is formed to one of the angles of the Grand Trine, thereby giving the person a bit of a challenge and spurring them to make greater use of their natural powers.

Geronimo had a kite consisting of a Grand Trine of Jupiter, Pluto and the Moon, with an opposition formed between the Moon and Uranus. The Moon is the female principle and Uranus can represent sudden, chaotic change. In fact, Geronimo’s path to his life’s destiny happened when his Mother, Wife and children were all massacred in a raid while the men of the tribe were in town trading. He was then sent by his chief to train under Cochise to take revenge. Geronimo had many wives throughout his life, with many lost through death, capture or other loss. His loss of the spiritual as well as physical the “mother” could have been a major psychological factor in his make-up. A kind of 19th century Death-Wish Charles Bronson.
