Connor McDavid

Five planets of the ten sit in earth signs, two in fire, two in air and a single one in water. Earth builds and keeps at it; the element that would register what any of it costs is nearly absent. McDavid plays ice hockey and the record names him a multiple most valuable player.

The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Neptune all sit in Capricorn, five planets across twenty five degrees of the sign that works to a plan and expects to pay for it. That is half the chart in the most patient sign available, which is an odd thing to find under somebody whose trade is decided in seconds. The Moon answers from the end of Pisces, or Aries a few hours later, and it is the one placement here with any give in it.

Two T-squares run through this chart and both hold Mars and Saturn, one closing with Mercury and the other with Venus. Mercury sits square Mars at a tenth of a degree, speech braced directly against drive, and Mars sits directly opposite Saturn at four fifths. That is a great deal of pressure on the planet of drive from two directions at once. Nothing in his chart stood retrograde on the day he was born. In a hockey player, drive under pressure from two directions at once is where the speed of a decision comes from.

Saturn arrived back on its Aries birth degree on 4 March 2026, at twenty nine, the first time the planet of consequence had been home since he was born. Aries is interested only in the opening, which makes a first return there a question about how the whole thing was entered rather than what it became. For a player whose record is a run of individual awards rather than a single trophy, that is a pointed question and a recent one. Five planets in Capricorn with nothing retrograde anywhere is a chart that made its plan early and never revised it, and the two T-squares are where the speed comes from rather than from any fire.
