Only in this chart

By sign alone Fred Astaire has look-alikes, so degrees do the splitting: Saturn at 22° Sagittarius and Mars at 11° Leo, and no other chart here sits within a degree or so on both. Nargis misses by one planet.

  • Mercury in Aries with Saturn in Sagittarius. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 212 here, Michelle Pfeiffer and Shirley Temple among them.
  • Three planets retrograde: Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. Gary Cooper and Paul Robeson have the same set, 1 chart in 120 here.
  • Mercury near its limit. About 26° from the Sun, and Mercury never gets past about 28°. Bette Davis sits at the same stretch.
