Alan Moore

Water takes five of his ten planets, air three, fire two and not one of them earth. Water registers everything; the element that would hold any of it to a fixed shape is missing from the chart entirely. Moore is an English comics writer and the record names Watchmen and V for Vendetta.

The Sun sits at twenty six degrees of Scorpio with Mercury at seventeen, Venus at eight and Saturn on the third degree, four planets in the sign that commits totally and will not be known on anybody else's schedule, with Mercury retrograde among them. The Moon answers from Aries at twenty two, where a feeling arrives at full volume and is gone almost as fast. For a writer the record fixes to two titles and nothing around them, a Scorpio group that gives nothing away is the structure to start from.

Pluto is tied to three planets at once. The Sun sits square it at just under nine tenths of a degree, which is identity in a power struggle and confrontation with authority; Mars sits in mild friction with it at just under half; and Jupiter sits sixty degrees from it at just over four tenths, effective power and the ability to recover at scale. Jupiter also sits in easy contact with Neptune at just over two tenths, generous imagination and real artistic scope. A T-square holds the Moon, Uranus and Neptune with no outlet. Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus were the three retrograde planets. In a writer, concentrated force tied to identity, drive and scale all at once is the most loaded structure a chart can hand over.

Jupiter came the whole way round to its Gemini starting point on 16 May 2025, at seventy one, and five circuits precede it. Gemini holds two accounts of one thing at once, which for a writer whose two named books have each been read in more than one way is a fitting question. No earth at all, with four planets in Scorpio and concentrated force tied to three of them, is the fact to keep from this chart.
