  • Sun in Sagittarius with Saturn in Cancer. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 197 here, Heinrich Heine and Kirk Douglas among them.
  • Eight different signs. Hardly any doubling up, a spread only 1% of charts here reach.
  • Three planets retrograde: Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. Woodrow Wilson and Samuel L. Jackson have the same set, 1 chart in 115 here.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Sagittarius Sun reads as free and restless, a Virgo Moon as precise and self-critical: signs at a right angle, so outer self and inner self argue, the same pair Su-metal carries. By the book, Mars in Aquarius + Venus in Aquarius + Saturn in Cancer reads as someone who rebels on principle, wants a friend first and learns to feel safely. Elements run earth 42%, fire 33%, air 19%, water 7%, mutable first at 58%, the nearest mix to La Uchulú.
