C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis was a walking, mobile university, and no chart signature suits him more perfectly than his Sun in Sagittarius, the Jupiter-ruled sign of the philosopher-explorer born to shine in academia, teaching and the pursuit of big-picture wisdom. He held English literature chairs at Oxford for nearly thirty years and then at Cambridge, gathering knowledge and handing it on, the free-spirited sage whose mind wandered across languages, theology, myth and medieval learning. That Sagittarian openness to religion and the exotic tells its own story: baptised, fallen away in adolescence, then returning to Anglican faith at thirty-two under the influence of his friend Tolkien and the Inklings, becoming an ordinary layman who could preach Christianity over wartime radio to millions.

His Moon in Gemini gave him the restless, endlessly curious mind that finds its comfort in words, ideas and connection. This is a Moon that thinks and talks and reads without ceasing, and Lewis poured it into more than thirty books: the Narnia chronicles, The Screwtape Letters, Mere Christianity, the Space Trilogy. A born teacher through story, a Sagittarian sage who never stopped reaching for the deeper country beyond the wardrobe door.
