Only in this chart

Edgar Allan Poe is the only chart in NEBO's celebrity base with Sun in Capricorn, Venus in Pisces and Jupiter in Pisces at once. J. R. R. Tolkien comes closest: same Sun and Jupiter, but Venus in Aquarius.

  • Venus in Pisces with Mars in Libra. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 344 here, Arkhip Kuindzhi and Lesya Ukrainka among them.
  • Mercury glued to the Sun. Within 1° of it at noon, something 1 chart in 250 here can claim.
  • Four planets in Pisces. Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto pile into one sign. Victor Hugo and Les Kurbas stack Pisces the same way.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Capricorn Sun reads as ambitious and long-term, a Pisces Moon as intuitive and dreamy: signs that cooperate without much effort, the same pair Paul Cézanne carries. By the book, Venus in Pisces + Mars in Libra + Jupiter in Pisces reads as someone who loves without edges, fights by negotiating and grows by trusting. Elements run water 47%, earth 37%, air 9%, fire 7%, mutable first at 51%, the nearest mix to William Herschel.

Planets

Gold lines: Sun conjunct Mercury (0.0°), Sun sextile Saturn (2.0°).

Tightest aspects

  • Sun conjunct Mercury (0.1°). The ego and the mind act as one, as tight as Andy Samberg’s.
  • Venus trine Uranus (0.2°). Taste and the rule-breaking streak run downhill together, as tight as Fanum’s.
  • Mercury sextile Saturn (2.2°). The mind gets an easy opening from self-control, as tight as Grace Jones’.
