Only in this chart

James Dean is the only chart in NEBO's celebrity base with Moon in Scorpio, Mercury in Capricorn and Saturn in Capricorn at once. Robert Duvall comes closest: same Mercury and Saturn, and only Moon stays unclear.

  • Four planets retrograde: Mars, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto. Madhubala and Toni Morrison have the same set, 1 chart in 393 here.
  • Mercury in Capricorn with Mars in Leo. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 275 here, Robert Duvall and Omar Sy among them.
  • Venus at full stretch. About 47° from the Sun. Venus tops out near 47°, so this is about as far as it can run. Kevin Costner is at the same distance.

What the chart says

In astrology, an Aquarius Sun reads as original and independent, a Scorpio Moon as intense and private: signs at a right angle, so outer self and inner self argue, the same pair Hudson Williams carries. By the book, Venus in Capricorn + Mars in Leo + Saturn in Capricorn reads as someone who trusts what lasts, fights in public and learns to put the load down. Elements run water 35%, air 28%, earth 26%, fire 12%, fixed first at 65%, the nearest mix to Georges Bizet.

Planets

Red dashes: Mercury opposite Mars (6.0°), Jupiter opposite Saturn (7.0°).

Tightest aspects

  • Jupiter square Uranus (0.9°). Appetite for more keeps colliding with the rule-breaking streak, as tight as Anatoly Karpov’s.
  • Saturn opposite Pluto (1.0°). Self-control and the need for control pull from opposite ends, as tight as Paige Bueckers’.
  • Venus trine Neptune (2.5°). Taste and the dreamer side run downhill together, as tight as Isabela Merced’s.
