A Taurus Sun in charge of Los Alamos Laboratory

J. Robert Oppenheimer

One approximation for molecular wave functions and one process in nuclear fusion carry Oppenheimer's name, and the work on neutron stars and black holes was done with students.

The odd part is the subject: on paper, quantum mechanics is about as far from Taurus and its feel for solid things as physics gets.

Saturn in Aquarius, tied to institutions and big shared projects, fits the Manhattan Project.

Astrologers read a Taurus Sun with Mercury in Taurus and Mars in Taurus as a patient, stubborn set, which suits a director of Los Alamos Laboratory.
