Only in this chart

Doris Lessing is the only chart in NEBO's celebrity base with Sun in Libra, Moon in Libra and Mars in Virgo at once. Ivan Bahrianyi comes closest: same Sun and Mars, but Moon in Aries.

  • Venus in Virgo with Saturn in Virgo. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 306 here, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Ray Bradbury among them.
  • Two planets retrograde: Uranus and Pluto. Ivan Kotliarevsky and Auguste Rodin have the same set, 1 chart in 63 here.
  • Mercury and Mars swap signs. Mercury in Scorpio and Mars in Virgo each sit in the other's sign, called mutual reception, also in Friedrich Schiller's chart, 1 chart in 36 here.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Libra Sun reads as charming and fair, a Libra Moon as charming and fair: same sign, so the want and the need point one way, the same pair Arthur Rimbaud carries. By the book, Venus in Virgo + Mercury in Scorpio + Saturn in Virgo reads as someone who shows care by fixing things, reads between the lines and learns to stop correcting. Elements run air 58%, earth 23%, water 12%, fire 7%, cardinal first at 58%, the nearest mix to Charlton Heston.

Tightest aspects

  • Sun trine Uranus (0.0°). The ego and the rule-breaking streak run downhill together: the tightest one in NEBO's base at noon.
  • Mars sextile Pluto (0.4°). Drive gets an easy opening from the need for control, as tight as Chloë Grace Moretz’s.
  • Saturn sextile Pluto (0.7°). Self-control gets an easy opening from the need for control, as tight as Shakira’s.
