Eiichiro Oda

Fire, earth and water take three of his ten planets each, which leaves a single one in air, and five of the ten sit in cardinal signs. The element that would talk a thing over is down to one planet. Oda is a Japanese manga artist and the record names One Piece.

The Sun sits on the eleventh degree of Capricorn with Mercury at seventeen and Venus at twenty four, three planets in the sign built on competence and on having actually done the thing, with a seriousness that usually arrived far too early. The Moon answers from Leo at twenty one, needing to be appreciated before it will settle. For an artist whose record is a single serial, a Capricorn group under a Leo Moon is the division that matters: the discipline is private and the wanting to be read is not.

Saturn is tied to two planets and it was retrograde. Mars sits at an awkward angle to it at four fifths of a degree, drive meeting refusal, which reads as effort that keeps running into obstruction until it becomes either resentment or real competence. Mercury sits directly opposite it at just under a degree and a half, thought meeting doubt. The Sun sits square Pluto at just over four fifths, identity in a power struggle, and in quiet contact with Neptune at just under four tenths, imagination available without cost. In a serial artist, effort obstructed and imagination free is the pairing the whole output sits between.

Jupiter came back round to its Pisces birth degree on 26 February 2022, at forty seven, and three laps precede it. Pisces draws no line of its own, so a return there asks what carried over from one thing into the next, which for a single continuing story is almost a literal question. Five cardinal planets with one in air, in a record of one work and no second one, is the fact to keep.
