John McEnroe's Birth Chart
Sun in Aquarius · Moon in Gemini ≈
John Patrick McEnroe Jr. is an American former professional tennis player. Often ranked amongst the greatest tennis players of all time, McEnroe was ranked as the world No. 1 in men's singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) for 170 weeks. He has held this ranking a record 14 times. He also held the world No. 1 title in men's doubles for 269 weeks. He is one of two male players to have held both No. 1 rankings, and the only one to hold both simultaneously. McEnroe was best known during his playing career for his shot-making and volleying skills, his rivalries with Björn Borg and Jimmy Connors, and his confrontational on-court behavior, which frequently landed him in trouble with umpires and tennis authorities.

You need to contribute your genuine perspective, break outdated patterns and connect with the collective consciousness.
Moon in Gemini
4°39′Your emotions ask for words: to name them, tell them, understand them in conversation. You process what you feel through thought and speech. Your emotional security comes from understanding your experiences, voicing them and keeping your mind open and flexible.
