Only in this chart

Ray Charles is the only chart in NEBO's celebrity base with Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Cancer and Jupiter in Cancer at once. Dmitri Shostakovich comes closest: same Venus and Jupiter, but Mars in Virgo.

  • Sun on a sign change. The Sun moved from Virgo to Libra on this date, and the birth hour is unknown, so the Virgo label here is the noon reading.
  • Two planets retrograde: Mercury and Uranus. Lata Mangeshkar and Isaac Stern have the same set, 1 chart in 162 here.
  • Mercury in Virgo with Venus in Scorpio. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 138 here, B. B. King and Avril Lavigne among them.

What the chart says

In astrology, this date sits on the line between two Suns, and without a birth hour the Libra Moon stays open too. By the book, Mercury in Virgo + Mars in Cancer + Saturn in Capricorn reads as someone who catches every typo, fights for its own and learns to put the load down. Elements run earth 44%, air 28%, water 26%, fire 2%, cardinal first at 51%, the nearest mix to Issa Rae.

Planets

Gold lines: Venus trine Mars (0.0°), Venus trine Jupiter (2.0°).

Tightest aspects

  • Venus trine Mars (0.0°). Taste and drive run downhill together, and only Madison Bailey and Assala Nasri have it tighter at noon.
  • Saturn trine Neptune (1.1°). Self-control and the dreamer side run downhill together, as tight as Mont Pantoja’s.
  • Mars conjunct Jupiter (1.6°). Drive and appetite for more act as one, as tight as Hasbulla’s.
