Phineas Gage’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Phineas Gage was born in the Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganized, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too. Compatible with Pig or Rabbit.
After suffering frontal lobe damage as the result of a railway construction accident in which a long, metal rod completely pierced his skull, brain, and face, Gage spurred discussion within the fields of neurology and psychology about the role of different areas of the brain in determining personality.
His famous accident occurred in September of 1848, while he was helping to build a Vermont track of the Rutland & Burlington Railroad. Previously, he had worked on the Hudson River Railroad in New York.
Following his accident and subsequent (partial) recovery, Gage briefly became the living subject of an exhibit at New York's Barnum's American Museum. He later relocated to Chile, where he worked as a stagecoach driver.
The children of Hannah Trussell and Jesse Gage, he and his four younger siblings grew up in Grafton County, New Hampshire.
He and Shoeless Joe Novelist W.P. Kinsella both suffered mishaps that resulted in head injuries.
