Only in this chart

By sign alone Maya Angelou has look-alikes, so degrees do the splitting: Saturn at 19° Sagittarius and Mars at 27° Aquarius, and no other chart here sits within a degree or so on both. William Wordsworth misses by one planet.

Mars in Aquarius with Saturn in Sagittarius. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 212 here, Kōhei Horikoshi and James Watson among them.
Two planets retrograde: Saturn and Neptune. James Watson and Gordie Howe have the same set, 1 chart in 106 here.
Three planets in Aries. Sun, Jupiter and Uranus pile into one sign. Charles Baudelaire and Émile Zola stack Aries the same way.

What the chart says

In astrology, an Aries Sun reads as bold and first to act, a Libra Moon as charming and fair: opposite signs, the full-Moon setup where public and private pull apart, the same pair Nikolai Gogol carries. By the book, Mars in Aquarius + Mercury in Pisces + Jupiter in Aries reads as someone who rebels on principle, thinks in pictures and grows by going first. Elements run fire 42%, air 37%, water 21%, earth 0%, cardinal first at 65%, the nearest mix to Bassem Youssef.
