Planetary Portraits - The Astrology of André 3000
Air sign influence tends to do tragedy differently, be it role reversal, character defeat, the antihero, you name it. For each day of the year, I can usually name a few friends, acquaintances or cultural figures born that day, and today the rapper André 3000 (born May 27th, 1975) popped into my head as a perfect example of the archetype of Gemini — and tragicomedy, as sort of mercurial dualisms go. Think Melpomene and Thalia, the 'happy and sad face masks' or 'theater masks' as they're sometimes called.
