Mars in Gemini with Jupiter in Aquarius. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 306 here, Panteleimon Kulish and Barbara McClintock among them.
Eight different signs. Hardly any doubling up, a spread only 1% of charts here reach.
Five planets retrograde: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Panteleimon Kulish and Emily Brontë have the same set, 1 chart in 102 here.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Leo Sun reads as warm and proud, a Sagittarius Moon as free and restless: the same element, so the two run smoothly, the same pair Ray Bradbury carries. By the book, Venus in Cancer + Mars in Gemini + Jupiter in Aquarius reads as someone who cares by looking after, fights with words and grows through its crowd. Elements run fire 65%, air 14%, water 12%, earth 9%, mutable first at 53%, the nearest mix to Peter O'Toole.
