Kat Dennings

Kat Dennings is known for 2 Broke Girls, a sitcom that ran six seasons on a joke about having no money, and the record here names nothing else.

She was born at Bryn Mawr on 13 June 1986 with five of her ten planets retrograde: Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Every slow planet in the chart runs backwards. A retrograde planet works inward, doing its business in an order not visible from outside, and five of them gives the whole arrangement a delayed, interior quality. What that tends to look like in a working life is somebody whose output arrives fully formed with none of the process on display.

Her Sun is in Gemini, the sign of quickness and the double meaning, and it sits in a T-square with Jupiter and Uranus, squaring Jupiter by under a degree. Two planets facing each other and the Sun pulling at right angles to both, with nowhere for the strain to settle. Sun square Jupiter is the aspect of overreaching, of appetite outrunning what is sensible, and with Uranus in the configuration it becomes less governable still: a self that wants more and also wants it different. Six seasons of the same sitcom is a long time to hold that still.

Only one planet sits in air against four in water, which is an odd distribution for a comic performer. Air is timing and distance; water is feeling and absorption. A chart this water-heavy belongs to somebody who takes things personally and plays them lightly, which is a harder trick than the reverse and tends to wear out faster.

What the signs point to from here is the retrogrades. Five slow planets running inward describes a career whose second half is usually quieter and more chosen than its first, and a performer who was very visible in her twenties on a chart like this one is unlikely to spend her forties the same way.
