Uranus is the planet most often associated with genius – and being brilliant, unusually gifted, distinctive, original, one of a kind. He has the Sun conjunct Uranus in Gemini, a sign associated with skill and versatility, and Leunig is a master of words and line. His political courage and cut through is enhanced by the strong Aries influence in his chart. He has Mars in dignity in that sign conjunct artistic Venus. Currently transiting Venus in Aries is activating that conjunction so his output this coming week could well be especially daring and controversial. His love of nature and simple pleasures is indicated by the placement of Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, in bucolic Taurus. See his chart in comments.
