Farrah Fawcett

Air takes five of her ten planets, fire three and water two, and earth is left empty, with six of the ten in fixed signs. The element that would make a plan and count its cost is absent, and most of what is left does not move. Fawcett was an American actress and the record names Charlie's Angels.

The Sun, Mercury and Mars fill fourteen degrees of Aquarius, the sign built on not being told. Across the chart, Saturn and Pluto sit at five and twelve degrees of Leo and both were retrograde, and the Sun sits directly opposite that Pluto at just under nine tenths of a degree. The reading is identity in a power struggle: confrontation with authority, compulsion that overrides judgement, and periods where somebody feels they have to be entirely remade. Her Moon sits on the third degree of Cancer at noon and may have been in Gemini, so it is left out. An actress the record attaches to one series and nothing else has a chart carrying more than the record does, and this is the contact doing the carrying.

Jupiter sits in mild friction with Neptune at just under half a degree, scale against image, which is where a working life spent being looked at tends to show up if it shows up anywhere. Mars sits a fifth of the way round from that same Jupiter at three quarters of a degree, and Venus in hard contact with Pluto at just over four fifths. Four of the ten planets were retrograde, Saturn and Pluto among them. Four retrograde planets in an actress whose whole record is one series explains nothing; it describes a chart.

She died at Santa Monica on 25 June 2009, at sixty two. Three separate bodies stood on her natal Venus that day: Neptune sixty degrees from it at four hundredths of a degree, the closest thing in that sky, Uranus square it at under three tenths, and Jupiter at that same sixty degrees from it at half. For a record that is one series and nothing beside it, Venus is a fitting planet for a sky to crowd around. The Moon was new and thirteen per cent lit, the phase that starts things without waiting to see the whole of them.
