Only in this chart

By sign alone Leonard Cohen has look-alikes, so degrees do the splitting: Saturn at 22° Aquarius and Mercury at 17° Libra, and no other chart here sits within a degree or so on both. Bruce Springsteen misses by one planet.

Mercury in Libra with Saturn in Aquarius. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 145 here, Niall Horan and Rosalía among them.
Two planets retrograde: Saturn and Uranus. Buddy Holly and Anatoliy Solovianenko have the same set, 1 chart in 47 here.
Mercury and Venus swap signs. Mercury in Libra and Venus in Virgo each sit in the other's sign, called mutual reception, also in Julio Iglesias's chart, 1 chart in 24 here.

What the chart says

In astrology, a Virgo Sun reads as precise and self-critical, with the Moon in Aquarius or Pisces depending on birth hour. By the book, Venus in Virgo + Sun in Virgo + Jupiter in Libra reads as someone who shows care by fixing things, fixes what others miss and grows through partners. Elements run earth 58%, air 26%, fire 13%, water 3%, mutable first at 55%, the nearest mix to Sam Kerr.

Tightest aspects

Jupiter square Pluto (0.1°). Appetite for more keeps colliding with the need for control, and only Hank Aaron, Judy Garland and James Chadwick have it tighter at noon.
Venus conjunct Neptune (0.3°). Taste and the dreamer side act as one, and only Luccas Neto, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and Bobby Charlton have it tighter at noon.
Sun sextile Pluto (2.2°). The ego gets an easy opening from the need for control, as tight as Myke Towers’.
