Julieta Venegas

Three planets of the ten sit in fire signs, three in air, two in earth and two in water, with nothing scarce. Venegas sings and writes songs, and the record names Latin alternative pop and an accordion used as a lead instrument rather than a decoration.

The Sun, Mercury and Neptune sit across seventeen degrees of Sagittarius, and the Moon, Mars and Uranus group inside eleven degrees of Libra. Sagittarius heads out and tells you; Libra attends to whoever is listening. For a songwriter who took an instrument nobody was using as a lead and put it at the front, the Sagittarius group is the half that decided and the Libra group is the half that made it work with other people.

Mercury is held at an awkward angle to Saturn at a third of a degree, the tightest contact in the chart, so speech is permanently slightly out of true with the planet of limit. Nothing else here sits inside a degree and a third of exact, which makes it a loose birth. The Sun sits conjunct Neptune at under a degree and a half, identity near the planet of image. Venus and Saturn were the two retrograde planets, and Pluto sits on the final degree of Virgo. For a songwriter, speech slightly out of true with limit is the friction an unexpected arrangement comes from.

Jupiter stood again on its Scorpio birth degree on 18 September 2018, at forty seven. Scorpio wants the part of a thing that was never shown, and three laps precede it. For a musician whose record names a genre and an instrument rather than a list of hits, what was never shown is the question the sign puts and the chart cannot settle. Two tight groups in Sagittarius and Libra, with a loose chart around them, is the structure to keep. Nothing here is braced hard against anything, which in a musician working outside the obvious commercial shape is less a lack than room to move. Her Moon in Libra, sitting with Mars and Uranus, puts private feeling in the same group as drive and the break, which is where an unexpected instrument choice comes from rather than from the Sagittarius half that announced it.
