Saturn on Uranus, from BigBang to Rise

Rise peaked at number 112 on the Billboard 200, the highest ranking album by a Korean soloist there, and Eyes, Nose, Lips won Song of the Year at the MAMA Awards, Melon Music Awards and Golden Disc Awards.

The odd pair is Saturn in Capricorn and Uranus in Capricorn, almost touching: old structure and sudden change in one place.

The record has both, a boy band debut in 2006 and a solo career from 2008.

Astrologers read a Taurus Sun with Jupiter in Taurus as a sign that trusts voice and texture, which sits comfortably beside the vocalist reputation in the record.

Only in this chart

By sign alone Taeyang has look-alikes, so degrees do the splitting: Saturn at 1° Capricorn and Mars at 27° Aquarius, and no other chart here sits within a degree or so on both. Mohamed Ramadan misses by one planet.

Mercury in Gemini with Mars in Aquarius. That pair shows up in 1 chart in 551 here, Adele and 2Pac among them.
Four planets retrograde: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. YoonA and Hyuna have the same set, 1 chart in 27 here.

Tightest aspects

Sun square Mars (0.1°). The ego keeps colliding with drive, and only Charlie Watts has it tighter at noon.
Venus opposite Uranus (0.2°). Taste and the rule-breaking streak pull from opposite ends, as tight as Ufo361’s.
