John Corbett

Earth holds four of his ten planets, fire three, water two and air a single one. Earth keeps at the thing and fire gets it moving; the element that would stand back and discuss it is nearly absent. Corbett acts and sings country music, and the record gives both trades and names Sex and the City for the first of them.

The Sun sits at nineteen degrees of Taurus with Mercury near the end of the same sign, and the Moon answers from Pisces. Taurus holds a note and will not be hurried off it; Pisces keeps no edge of its own. Those two signs between them are a reasonable description of somebody who sings country music, which is a form that depends on an unhurried delivery and on sounding like it costs something.

The Moon sits in mild friction with Saturn at eleven hundredths of a degree, as close as the arithmetic puts a pair, so private feeling and the planet of limit are permanently just at odds. Saturn itself sits on the final nine minutes of Capricorn, about to leave the sign it governs. The Moon makes an easy skill of its contact with Mercury at nine tenths. Neptune and Pluto were the two retrograde planets, and nothing here forms a named pattern. In a singer, feeling just at odds with the planet of limit is the small permanent discomfort a country song is built out of.

On 18 January 2021 Jupiter stood again on its Aquarius birth degree, at fifty nine, a month after Saturn had closed its own second lap. Aquarius sets its measure outside the usual road altogether, and four circuits precede it. For an actor who took up a second trade in music rather than staying in the one that made his name, standing off the road is the measure that recognises it. A Saturn nine minutes from leaving its own sign is the detail worth keeping in a chart otherwise short of pressure.
