Amy Schumer

Five planets of the ten sit in air signs and only one in fire, with two each in earth and water. Air describes a situation from outside it, which is the position comedy is written from, and there is a great deal of it here. Schumer is an American comedian and actress whose stand up and whose screen work have always been the same voice doing two different jobs.

The Sun sits at eleven degrees of Gemini, the sign of the voice that will not stay in one register and gets to the point by talking around it first. Venus is in Gemini too. A comedian whose material works by saying the thing everybody else in the room has decided not to say needs the sign that is least interested in the social contract, and Gemini holds both the identity and the taste in this chart.

Mars sits directly opposite Uranus a tenth of a degree from exact, the smallest separation anywhere in it: drive against the planet that breaks the arrangement, with nothing between them. Mercury is square Saturn at an eighth, so speech meets limit at almost the same distance. Those two aspects between them describe somebody who will push at a boundary and be told about it, repeatedly. Four planets were retrograde. A comedian who will push at a boundary and be told about it, repeatedly and in public, has both of those aspects doing visible work.

Jupiter stood on its Libra birth degree once more on 11 September 2016, at thirty five. Libra is the sign of the other person and of what is acceptable between two people, which is an interesting place to find the planet of reach in a comedian whose subject is largely what is not acceptable. Three circuits sit behind that date, and the work that made her widely known arrived inside the most recent of them. Her Moon is on the last degree of Taurus at noon and may have crossed into Gemini, so the private half is open between holding ground and moving on.
