Born under opposite signs, the two Dylans have astrological connections that are respectful but distant. Father Bob is a Gemini (with the three planets in the brilliant and quick-witted sign), while son Jakob is a Sag (with four planets in this restless sign of the student and teacher). Jakob’s Venus in Sagittarius is in the same sign as his father’s rising sign. The rising sign (also known as Ascendant) is all about a person’s image in the world. The Venus-rising sign connection is warm, but the underlying message from the father is “You are a romantic reflection of me and my artistic talent” (Venus rules romance and art).
