Mars in Leo with Jupiter in Aries. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 172 here, Ferruccio Lamborghini and Gregory Peck among them.
Three planets in Cancer. Saturn, Neptune and Pluto pile into one sign. Francis Crick and Mary Anning stack Cancer the same way.
Mercury and Venus swap signs. Mercury in Taurus and Venus in Gemini each sit in the other's sign, called mutual reception, also in Carl Friedrich Gauss's chart, 1 chart in 24 here.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Taurus Sun reads as steady and patient, an Aries Moon as bold and first to act: neighboring signs with little in common, which astrologers read as a low itch, the same pair Daisuke Ono carries. By the book, Mercury in Taurus + Venus in Gemini + Saturn in Cancer reads as someone who decides slowly and won't budge, falls for a quick mind and learns to feel safely. Elements run fire 42%, earth 37%, air 12%, water 9%, fixed first at 49%, the nearest mix to Jelly Roll.
