A Libra Sun, a Libra Mars and a songwriting partnership

John Lennon

Libra is the partnership sign, and Lennon's songwriting partnership with Paul McCartney is described as the most successful in history.

Mercury in Scorpio, read as a mind that goes straight at hard subjects, sits oddly next to Lennon's collections of nonsense writings and line drawings.

As a performer, writer or co-writer, Lennon had 25 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100.

Astrologers read Mars in Libra as a fighter for balance, and the record has the bed-in for peace and Give Peace a Chance.

Only in this chart

By sign alone John Lennon has look-alikes, so degrees do the splitting: Saturn at 13° Taurus and Jupiter at 13° Taurus, and no other chart here sits within a degree or so on both. Pelé misses by one planet.

  • Mars in Libra with Jupiter in Taurus. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 459 here, Pelé and John Locke among them.
  • Three planets retrograde: Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. Pelé and Fela Kuti have the same set, 1 chart in 120 here.

Born on October 9

October 9 also belongs to Bella Hadid (1996), Ghetts (1984, rap) and Ben Shelton (2002, sport). Liverpool is also the birthplace of Paul McCartney. October 9, 1940 was a Wednesday, and the Moon went from first quarter to waxing gibbous.
