Kevin Jonas

Fire holds four of his ten planets and the other six divide two apiece across earth, air and water, so nothing is scarce and one element leads by a little. Jonas sings in a band with his brothers, which is a working arrangement most musicians never have to manage: the people you negotiate with about the next record are the same people you were related to before any of it started.

The Sun sits at thirteen degrees of Scorpio and the Moon at thirteen degrees of Taurus, directly opposite each other and a tenth of a degree from exact. That is a birth at the full moon, and about as precise a one as the arithmetic produces. Scorpio and Taurus are the two signs least willing to let go of what they hold, so the public half and the private half of this chart are both immovable and they are facing each other down.

Venus, Saturn and Uranus group across twenty two degrees of Sagittarius, which puts taste, limit and disruption together in the sign that wants to be somewhere else. The Sun sits conjunct Pluto within three degrees, adding concentrated force to an identity already in the most concentrated sign there is. Mercury and Jupiter were both retrograde at his birth, so speech and scale were running backwards from the start. In a band where the negotiating never really ends, because the other parties were family first, that much concentrated force is the working condition rather than a crisis.

Jupiter reached its own birth degree in Aries again on 14 April 2023, at thirty five, moving backwards as it had been at the beginning. Aries stands for the thing begun, so the planet of reach returning there asks what has been started rather than what has been completed. For a group that has started over more than once with the same three people in it, that is the question the chart would put. Three circuits had closed by then, and the band was already formed before the second of them closed.
