Jackie Shroff

Fire, earth and air take three of his ten planets each, which leaves a single one in water, and six of the ten sit in fixed signs. The element that would register a thing before deciding about it is down to one planet. The record says Shroff was discovered while he was living in a Mumbai chawl.

The Sun sits at twelve degrees of Aquarius, which builds an identity on not being told, with Mercury and Venus together in Capricorn behind it. His Moon sits at twenty seven degrees of Aquarius at noon and may have crossed into Pisces, which leaves the private half open between examining a feeling from a distance and dissolving into it. Pluto sits on the final degree of Leo. For a record that starts in a tenement and ends in the film industry, a Sun in the sign that will not be instructed is the placement to begin from.

The Sun sits sixty degrees from Saturn nine hundredths of a degree from exact, which is about as close as this project finds an opening, and it reads as structure supporting the self rather than obstructing it: competence, and responsibility handed over early. Mars sits directly opposite Neptune at a third of a degree and at an awkward angle to Jupiter at four fifths, with a T-square closing on Mars, Uranus and Neptune. Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto all faced backwards at his birth. In a man the record has discovered rather than trained, an opening that exact between identity and structure is the contact worth keeping.

Saturn came back to its Sagittarius birth degree on 9 October 2016, at fifty nine, a second return rather than a first, with Jupiter closing its own lap three weeks earlier on 16 September. Sagittarius measures a thing by how far it got from where it started, and for a record that begins in a chawl, how far from the start is not a figure of speech. Six planets in fixed signs with one in water describes somebody who holds a position without needing to feel his way into it first.
