Central Cee

Central Cee is a drill rapper from Shepherd's Bush in west London, and the first British rapper to pass a billion streams on a single track. His chart holds one aspect so exact it would be worth writing about whoever he turned out to be, and it happens to be the one about speech.

He was born on 4 June 1998 with Mercury one minute of arc from an opposition to Pluto. That is about as close to exact as an aspect ever gets. Mercury is talking, thinking, the choosing of words; Pluto is pressure, force, and whatever refuses to be said politely. Those two facing each other across a chart put language and power in permanent confrontation, and the reading is a person whose words function as leverage rather than as description. For a genre built on the threat inside a sentence, there is no better placement available.

Air takes six of his ten planets and one each in earth and water, so the chart is almost entirely thinking and comparing with very little that either settles or broods. Three of the six sit in Gemini, the Sun with Mercury and Mars: identity, speech and drive in the sign of quickness and the double meaning. Drill is a music of dense internal rhyme and fast switches of register, and that grouping is close to a technical description of it.

The chart also carries two grand trines, both involving the Moon and Uranus. A grand trine is three planets in easy contact the whole way round, which is ability that arrives without resistance, and the warning on it never changes: nothing in it obliges the person to work. Having two, both holding the planet of the unexpected, describes a facility that is genuinely effortless and a career that will stand or fall on what gets done with the absence of friction. The one hard aspect is the Sun against Saturn, which is the part that supplies some.

His Jupiter return arrived on 17 April 2022, at twenty three. The twelve years that opened then are the ones the billion streams happened inside, and they are not finished.
