Bobby Kennedy's Birthday

The late Robert F. Kennedy (aka Bobby) was born on this day in 1925, meaning he would have been 84 years old today. Known individually and as part of the famed Kennedy clan, RFK was shaped by the depth of his Scorpio Sun, the will of his Capricorn Moon and the integrity of Mercury in Taurus. In addition, the prominent placement of Venus in his chart drew him to follow his heart at all costs, exuding sympathy. This influence could've made Kennedy the quintessential bleeding heart whose voice could not be heard among louder men's shouts, but when combined with the ferocity and determination of influential Jupiter in Capricorn and Mercury in plain-spoken, honest Sagittarius, his voice was destined to be heard. And heard it was, for though Kennedy was assassinated at the tender age of 42 on June 6, 1968, his tenacious legacy (particularly in matters of civil rights) lives on. It was RFK who famously said "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."
