Only in this chart

By sign alone Katherine Johnson has look-alikes, so degrees do the splitting: Saturn at 19° Leo and Mars at 5° Scorpio, and no other chart here sits within a degree or so on both. Rosalind Franklin misses by one planet.

Mars in Scorpio with Saturn in Leo. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 229 here, Mikhail Lomonosov and L. L. Zamenhof among them.
Two planets retrograde: Mercury and Uranus. Rosalind Franklin and Francis Crick have the same set, 1 chart in 162 here.
Three planets in Leo. Venus, Saturn and Neptune pile into one sign. Rosalind Franklin and Hans Christian Ørsted stack Leo the same way.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Virgo Sun reads as precise and self-critical, with the Moon in Aries or Taurus depending on birth hour. By the book, Mercury in Virgo + Sun in Virgo + Jupiter in Cancer reads as someone who catches every typo, fixes what others miss and grows through home and roots. Elements run earth 52%, fire 23%, water 23%, air 3%, mutable first at 52%, the nearest mix to Namie Amuro.
