Only in this chart

Arthur C. Clarke is the only chart in NEBO's celebrity base with Moon in Capricorn, Mercury in Capricorn and Jupiter in Gemini at once. Stephen Hawking comes closest: same Mercury and Jupiter, and only Moon stays unclear.

  • Sun in Sagittarius with Saturn in Leo. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 229 here, L. L. Zamenhof and Booba among them.
  • Four planets retrograde: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. George Stephenson and Gamal Abdel Nasser have the same set, 1 chart in 138 here.
  • Venus at full stretch. About 46° from the Sun. Venus tops out near 47°, so this is about as far as it can run. Robert H. Goddard is at the same distance.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Sagittarius Sun reads as free and restless, a Capricorn Moon as ambitious and long-term: neighboring signs with little in common, which astrologers read as a low itch, the same pair Kylian Mbappé carries. By the book, Venus in Aquarius + Mercury in Capricorn + Jupiter in Gemini reads as someone who wants a friend first, plans in five-year chunks and grows by learning everything. Elements run earth 47%, fire 35%, air 16%, water 2%, mutable first at 42%, the nearest mix to Rúben Dias.

Planets

Red dashes: Sun square Mars (2.0°), Venus opposite Saturn (4.0°).

Tightest aspects

  • Jupiter sextile Neptune (2.6°). Appetite for more gets an easy opening from the dreamer side, as tight as Sebastián Yatra’s.
  • Sun square Mars (2.6°). The ego keeps colliding with drive, as tight as Bob Dylan’s.
