Jennifer Grey

Four planets out of ten sit in water and only one in air, with three in earth and two in fire. Water absorbs whatever is in the room and air is the element that would stand back and describe it. Grey was born in New York in 1960, and the record names a single film, which is the particular shape of a career where one part becomes the whole public memory and everything else is filed behind it.

The Sun has crossed into Aries by six degrees while the Moon, Mercury and Venus are all still in Pisces behind it. That is a chart standing with one foot over the line: Pisces takes on whatever is in front of it and Aries decides and moves. The film the record names is about dancing, and a performance that has to absorb a partner and then commit to the step needs both of those signs rather than either one.

Saturn is held at an awkward angle to Uranus a third of a degree short of exact, and Jupiter makes an awkward angle with the same Uranus at two fifths. Uranus, retrograde at birth, is therefore in friction with the planet of limits and the planet of expansion at once, so the disruptive element gets on with neither the brake nor the accelerator. Mercury and Venus sit conjunct within three quarters of a degree in Pisces, which puts what she says and what she likes in the same place, in the sign least inclined to insist on either. For an actress remembered for one film, a chart that declines to insist on anything is the half of the story a single credit does not tell.

Jupiter completed a lap and stood again on its opening degree in Capricorn on 14 December 2019, when she was fifty nine. Capricorn keeps accounts, and it sets any reach against what reaching cost. A working life measured in decades against a public memory fixed on one title is the ratio this chart has to settle, and Capricorn is the sign least likely to call it unfair.
