Frances Hodgson Burnett

Water takes five of her ten planets, fire four and a single one earth, which leaves air with none, and four of the ten were retrograde. The record says Hodgson Burnett wrote The Secret Garden and Little Lord Fauntleroy, and won an early copyright case in Britain that helped establish an author's rights over adaptations.

Two contacts here sit inside a tenth of a degree and they pull in opposite directions. The Sun sits a fifth of a turn from Jupiter at two hundredths, which is growth without much friction and opportunity arriving through being well thought of, and square Neptune at nine hundredths, which is the self obscured and confusion about direction. A chart with both of those exact is one where the standing and the uncertainty are the same size, and in a record pairing two famous books with a court case about who owned them, that is a usable description.

The Moon sits in easy contact with Mercury at a quarter of a degree, which is feelings that articulate easily: good listeners, and people who explain difficult things kindly. Its sign is certain. For a writer whose two named books are both children's books, that is the contact to keep. Saturn, Uranus and Pluto all sit in Aries, and Mars sits a fifth of the circle from that Uranus at half a degree.

She died at Plandome in New York on 29 October 1924, at seventy four. Uranus stood conjunct her natal Moon at just over a third of a degree that day and in easy contact with her natal Mercury at under two thirds, so the planet of abrupt change was working the easy pair above from both ends at once. Mercury stood conjunct her natal Venus at three tenths. The Moon was new and three per cent lit. That is the phase that starts things without waiting to see the whole of them.
