Only in this chart

Edmund Hillary is the only chart in NEBO's celebrity base with Mercury in Leo, Venus in Virgo and Jupiter in Cancer at once. Neil Armstrong comes closest: same Venus and Jupiter, but Mercury in Virgo.

  • Venus in Virgo with Saturn in Leo. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 393 here, Alysa Liu and Klavdia Petrivna among them.
  • Four planets in Cancer. Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto pile into one sign. Nico Williams and Nancy Reagan stack Cancer the same way.
  • Moon and Mars swap signs. Moon in Aries and Mars in Cancer each sit in the other's sign, called mutual reception, also in Marcel Duchamp's chart, 1 chart in 145 here.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Cancer Sun reads as protective and loyal, an Aries Moon as bold and first to act: signs at a right angle, so outer self and inner self argue, the same pair Larry Sanger carries. By the book, Venus in Virgo + Mercury in Leo + Jupiter in Cancer reads as someone who shows care by fixing things, talks like it's a stage and grows through home and roots. Elements run water 47%, fire 44%, earth 9%, air 0%, cardinal first at 72%, the nearest mix to Larry Sanger.

Planets

Gold lines: Sun conjunct Jupiter (1.0°), Venus sextile Mars (3.0°).
