Jane Seymour

The chart puts five of her ten planets in air signs, four in water, one in fire and not one in earth. Air reads the room and water takes its temperature; the element that would hold any of it to a fixed shape is missing from the chart. Seymour is an English actress and the record names Solitaire in Live and Let Die and the title role in Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman.

The Sun sits at twenty six degrees of Aquarius with Mercury further back in the sign, while Venus, Mars and Jupiter group inside four degrees of Pisces. Aquarius stands outside the arrangement and looks at it; Pisces has no edge of its own at all. An actress whose record names a Bond film at one end and an American frontier series at the other has the detached sign running the identity and everything warm pressed into one very tight group.

Two yods run through this chart and both of them hold Neptune and Pluto, with Venus at an awkward angle to Pluto at under a quarter of a degree and Mars at the same angle to it at under a third. Neither figure resolves. Venus also sits conjunct Mars at half a degree. All four of the slow planets were retrograde at her birth, which leaves the whole heavy end of the chart facing the other way. For an actress whose record names two parts forty years apart, two figures that never resolve is the shape of a career that kept going without ever settling.

On 3 March 2022 Jupiter stood again on its Pisces birth degree, at seventy one. Pisces keeps no boundary of its own, so what it asks is what was let in rather than what was reached, and five circuits come before it, which few charts live to collect. For a working life whose record names those two parts and nothing in between, what was let in is the more generous of the measures available. With no earth anywhere, none of that career was built to a plan; it was taken as it arrived.
