Only in this chart

Henri Matisse is the only chart in NEBO's celebrity base with Moon in Sagittarius, Mercury in Capricorn and Saturn in Sagittarius at once. Volodymyr Sosiura comes closest: same Mercury and Saturn, and only Moon stays unclear.

  • Venus in Aquarius with Saturn in Sagittarius. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 250 here, Bertolt Brecht and Paul Cézanne among them.
  • Three planets retrograde: Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. Takehiko Inoue and Salman Khan have the same set, 1 chart in 110 here.
  • Venus at full stretch. About 46° from the Sun. Venus tops out near 47°, so this is about as far as it can run. André Gide is at the same distance.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Capricorn Sun reads as ambitious and long-term, a Sagittarius Moon as free and restless: neighboring signs with little in common, which astrologers read as a low itch, the same pair Umberto Eco carries. By the book, Mars in Capricorn + Venus in Aquarius + Jupiter in Taurus reads as someone who climbs without drama, wants a friend first and grows by building slowly. Elements run earth 53%, fire 35%, air 9%, water 2%, cardinal first at 51%, the nearest mix to Hiro Mashima.

Planets

Gold lines: Sun trine Jupiter (2.0°), Venus sextile Saturn (4.0°).

Tightest aspects

  • Mercury opposite Uranus (0.1°). The mind and the rule-breaking streak pull from opposite ends, as tight as Malala Yousafzai’s.
  • Sun trine Jupiter (1.1°). The ego and appetite for more run downhill together, as tight as Ahyeon’s.
