Mercury in Sagittarius and 14 number-one albums

Jay-Z

Mercury in Sagittarius sextile Mars in Aquarius: astrologers read a quick tongue joined to a drive that likes untried ground.

Jay-Z's record splits along those lines.

The tongue is double entendres, wordplay and 14 number-one albums.

The drive is Roc-A-Fella in 1994, Rocawear in 1999, the 40/40 Club in 2003 and Roc Nation in 2008.

A Libra Moon and Jupiter in Libra, the deal-making sign on paper, sit comfortably with the stretch as president and chief executive officer of Def Jam Recordings from 2004 to 2007.
