Howie Dorough

Air takes five of his ten planets, fire three, and earth and water one each. Air reads a room and works out what it wants; the elements that would plant themselves or be swamped are both nearly absent. Dorough sings in a group that has been running since his teens, and in a five part harmony somebody has to be the voice that fits between the others.

The Sun sits forty minutes of arc from the end of Leo with Mercury further back in the sign, and Venus, Uranus and Pluto group across seventeen degrees of Libra. Leo wants the room and Libra attends to everybody in it. A performer whose job is the blend rather than the lead has the Libra group doing the actual work and a Leo Sun on its very last degree, which is Leo already finished with wanting the front.

Four yods run through this chart, which is a great deal of unresolved structure for one birth, and all four of them hold Neptune. A yod does not settle, it keeps pointing, and having the planet of image at the hinge of every one is the single most striking fact here. Venus makes easy contact with Jupiter seven hundredths of a degree from the exact angle.

Jupiter closed a full circuit on its Aquarius birth degree on 7 January 2021, at forty seven, in reverse as it was originally. Aquarius measures the distance from the expected road rather than the progress down it, and three circuits precede it. A working life spent inside one group for thirty years is not distance from the expected road, which the chart would call the honest answer. Jupiter, the one retrograde planet, is the planet of reach itself facing backwards, which for somebody whose career has been a long continuation rather than an expansion is the detail that fits.
