Aruna Irani

Five of her planets sit in air signs and four in fire, with one in earth and not one in water. Air describes and fire acts; nothing in the chart sits still with a feeling, and nothing grounds any of it. Irani has appeared in more than three hundred films, which is a working volume almost impossible in any other industry and is its own kind of fact about a life.

Four planets group across twenty three degrees of Leo, the Sun with Mercury, Saturn and Pluto, and four more sit in Libra. Leo performs and expects to be watched; Libra is the sign of the other person and of fitting with whoever is in the room. A career of three hundred films is built on both at once: the presence to hold a scene, and the adaptability to walk into somebody else's production and work from the first day.

The Sun stands at a hard angle to Venus three hundredths of a degree short of exact, the smallest separation anywhere in it, which is identity and what she values permanently slightly out of step. In a performer who worked constantly in supporting parts rather than as the centre of the poster, that is an exact description of the position rather than a difficulty in it. Not one planet was retrograde at her birth.

Jupiter closed a twelve year circuit on 6 September 2017, back where it began in Libra, at seventy one. Libra weighs one thing against another and refuses to shut either option down, and the planet of reach in it asks what was balanced rather than what was gained. Six laps of the planet precede it, which is a great many circuits for one chart and roughly fifty films a lap. Her Moon sits at the very start of Taurus or the end of Aries, undetermined, and it is square Saturn either way.
