Lauren Hutton

Air takes five of her ten planets, water three, fire two and not one of them earth. Air works the thing out and water registers it; the element that would hold a position is missing from the chart entirely. The record says Hutton was the first model with an exclusive cosmetics contract, and that she refused to have the gap in her front teeth fixed.

The Sun sits at twenty four degrees of Scorpio with Mercury near the end of the same sign at twenty nine, so identity and speech both sit in the sign that commits totally and will not be known on anybody else's schedule. Mars, Saturn and Uranus spread across eighteen degrees of Gemini. Her Moon sits on the last fourteen minutes of Cancer at noon, close enough to the next sign that it may have reached Leo, which puts the private half between protecting what is behind it and needing the room. For a woman whose trade was being looked at, a Scorpio Sun that declines to be read is an awkward and useful inheritance.

Venus sits in easy contact with Uranus at four tenths of a degree, taste on completely uncomplicated terms with the planet that refuses the expected arrangement, and in a record whose central fact is a refusal to have a feature corrected, that is the contact the whole thing turns on. Venus also sits sixty degrees from Pluto at just under a degree. Jupiter sits sixty degrees from Saturn at two thirds, growth that holds rather than spikes, which in a working life measured in decades is the more useful pairing. Four of the ten planets were retrograde.

Jupiter came the whole way round to its Leo starting point on 23 July 2015, at seventy one, and five circuits precede it. Leo asks who was watching, which for a record built on a face and a contract is the plainest question available. No earth at all, with five planets in air, describes somebody who talks her way through rather than digging in, and taste welded to the planet of refusal is why the gap stayed where it was.
