Only in this chart

Sam Cooke is the only chart in NEBO's celebrity base with Moon in Pisces, Mercury in Capricorn and Mars in Leo at once. DJ BoBo comes closest: same Moon and Mercury, but Mars in Aquarius.

  • Four planets retrograde: Mars, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto. Nina Simone and James Dean have the same set, 1 chart in 393 here.
  • Mercury in Capricorn with Mars in Leo. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 275 here, Robert Duvall and James Dean among them.
  • Eight different signs. Hardly any doubling up, a spread only 1% of charts here reach.

What the chart says

In astrology, an Aquarius Sun reads as original and independent, a Pisces Moon as intuitive and dreamy: neighboring signs with little in common, which astrologers read as a low itch, the same pair Tina Karol carries. By the book, Venus in Sagittarius + Mars in Leo + Saturn in Capricorn reads as someone who needs room to roam, fights in public and learns to put the load down. Elements run water 35%, air 28%, fire 21%, earth 16%, mutable first at 40%, the nearest mix to Smokey Robinson.

Planets

Red dashes: Jupiter opposite Saturn (3.0°), Mercury opposite Jupiter (6.0°).

Tightest aspects

  • Jupiter square Uranus (1.5°). Appetite for more keeps colliding with the rule-breaking streak, as tight as Rainer Maria Rilke’s.
  • Mercury trine Neptune (2.7°). The mind and the dreamer side run downhill together, as tight as HolaSoyGerman’s.
  • Jupiter opposite Saturn (2.9°). Appetite for more and self-control pull from opposite ends, as tight as Tu Youyou’s.
