John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), often referred to by his initials JFK, was the 35th President of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963.
After Kennedy's military service as commander of the Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109 during World War II in the South Pacific, his aspirations turned political. Kennedy represented Massachusetts's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat, and served in the U.S. Senate from 1953 until 1960. Kennedy defeated then Vice President and Republican candidate Richard Nixon in the 1960 U.S. presidential election. Kennedy is the first and only Catholic and the first Irish American president, and is the only president to have won a Pulitzer Prize. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.
John F. Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917, which made him a Gemini (Western Zodiac) Fire Snake. People born under the Fire element tend to be leaders and are typically aggressive when seeking out what they want according to Chinese Astrology. They are dynamic speakers, ambitious and decisive. Not surprising then, that a Fire Snake would have become an excellent candidate for a position demanding leadership of the most exemplary caliber. Snakes are extremely intelligent, charming and popular. They deliver their message without being deliberately outspoken and thus are respected by their peers for their tactful and thoughtful deliverance. As Gemini’s are known for their sprightly wit and irresistible charm, it’s not hard to see how this triple threat bewitched an entire nation into falling in love with him…
Snakes generally have good luck with money, so it seems fated enough that both John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier would be well off from the start. The former President’s grandfather was a prominent Boston political figure, while the First Lady was born to a Wall Street broker. After JFK’s assassination in 1963, Jacqueline Kennedy became Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis by marrying a Greek shipping magnate, Aristotle Onassis, in 1968. He was a millionaire and thus continued to provide her with the style of living to which she had become accustomed.
