James Franco

Fire holds five of his ten planets and air only one, with two apiece in earth and water. Fire acts and keeps acting, and the element that would stand outside and ask whether this is a good idea is nearly absent. Franco was nominated for a film in which he plays a man trapped alone in a canyon, which is as close to a one person performance as the form allows.

The Sun sits on the twenty ninth degree of Aries, the last of the sign, with Mercury further back in it and retrograde. Aries goes first and works it out afterwards; a Sun on the final degree is that instinct having already run its full length. The Moon answers from Virgo, which checks everything and is never satisfied, so the private half is the opposite of the public one and offers no agreement with it.

A yod holds the Moon, Mercury and Uranus and does not resolve, which keeps feeling and speech permanently pointing at the planet that breaks arrangements. Five planets of the ten stood retrograde at his birth, Mercury among them, which is half the chart facing backwards. The Moon sits square Neptune at just over half a degree, feeling against image. In an actor who spent years collecting occupations, feeling and speech pointing permanently at the planet that breaks arrangements is the pattern the career repeats.

Jupiter finished where it began in Cancer, on 15 June 2025, at forty seven. Cancer is interested in what was kept rather than in ground covered, which is a pointed question for somebody who spent years adding occupations rather than consolidating one. Four circuits precede it, and the nomination the record names sits in the middle of the third. A Sun on the last degree of Aries with half the chart retrograde is a strange pairing: the sign that charges forward, in a chart that spends most of its time looking back at what it did.
