Only in this chart

Ernest Hemingway is the only chart in NEBO's celebrity base with Moon in Capricorn, Mars in Virgo and Saturn in Sagittarius at once. Auguste Rodin comes closest: same Mars and Saturn, and only Moon stays unclear.

  • Mars in Virgo with Saturn in Sagittarius. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 197 here, Auguste Rodin and Claude Monet among them.
  • Two planets retrograde: Saturn and Uranus. Elias Canetti and Olena Teliha have the same set, 1 chart in 47 here.
  • Mercury near its limit. About 27° from the Sun, and Mercury never gets past about 28°. Knut Hamsun sits at the same stretch.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Cancer Sun reads as protective and loyal, a Capricorn Moon as ambitious and long-term: opposite signs, the full-Moon setup where public and private pull apart, the same pair Edgar Degas carries. By the book, Venus in Cancer + Mercury in Leo + Jupiter in Scorpio reads as someone who cares by looking after, talks like it's a stage and grows through hard truths. Elements run water 42%, earth 37%, fire 16%, air 5%, cardinal first at 65%, the nearest mix to Álvaro Xaro.

Planets

Red dashes: Sun square Jupiter (3.0°), Mars square Saturn (3.0°).

Tightest aspects

  • Mercury sextile Neptune (0.1°). The mind gets an easy opening from the dreamer side, and only Woodrow Wilson, Tye Sheridan and Gege Akutami have it tighter at noon.
  • Saturn opposite Pluto (1.6°). Self-control and the need for control pull from opposite ends, as tight as Jannat Zubair’s.
  • Sun square Jupiter (2.5°). The ego keeps colliding with appetite for more, as tight as Devon Rodriguez’s.
