Kate Bush

This chart holds a grand cross and it cannot be used, which is the most important thing about this entry. The figure is made of the Sun, the Moon, Mars and Neptune, and her Moon sits on the fourth degree of Aquarius at noon with Capricorn still possible, so the Moon is left out and the whole figure goes with it. Fire and earth take three of her ten planets each, with two apiece in air and water, and five of the ten are fixed. The record says Bush reached number one at nineteen with a song about Wuthering Heights and has controlled her own records ever since.

Losing a grand cross to an unknown hour is about the heaviest price a missing birth time charges anywhere in this project. A grand cross is four planets at right angles the whole way round with no outlet, it is the rarest and most pressed figure a chart can make, and two of the six closest contacts here also run to that same Moon. What is left is a chart with no closed figure at all and three usable pairings, which is a quieter and much smaller thing to write about. For a songwriter the record gives one number one at nineteen and decades of control after it, that is a great deal of structure to lose to a missing hour.

Of those three the one with a trade in it is the Sun square Mars at just over a degree, drive and identity arguing: somebody who either overreaches and burns out or holds back and resents it. For a songwriter the record credits with controlling her own records from nineteen onwards, holding back is the half that fits, and the record declines the resentment half by reporting a career rather than a grievance. Mars sits at an awkward angle to Saturn at the same orb, drive meeting refusal, which says a similar thing from the other side: effort that meets obstruction until it becomes either resentment or real competence.

Jupiter sits a fifth of a turn from Uranus at over half a degree, fortunate change: being in the right place when something shifts, which for a first record at nineteen is the reading a reader will take and the one the record gives least help with. Five planets in fixed signs is the structural fact that survives the missing Moon, and in somebody the record has holding the same position on her own work for decades it does the most honest work in this entry. Saturn was the only retrograde planet. Jupiter came back to its Libra birth degree on 12 September 2017, at fifty nine, and four laps precede it. Libra asks who else was in the room.
