Luke Hemmings

Three of his ten planets sit in air signs, three in water, two in fire and two in earth, with nothing scarce and nothing dominant. Hemmings sings, and the record names 5 Seconds of Summer, which is the band the work has been done inside.

The Sun, the Moon and Mercury all sit inside six degrees of Cancer, a very tight personal group in the sign that keeps what it has been given and protects it, with Mercury on the final degree of the sign. Identity, private feeling and speech all answering to the same protective instinct, with no distance between them, is an undivided arrangement. For somebody whose working life has been spent inside one band, it is also a fair description of why that held.

The Sun sits in easy contact with Mars at two fifths of a degree and Mercury sits in mild friction with Venus at four fifths. Nothing else here comes inside a degree, which makes it a loose chart around a very tight centre. Four of the ten planets were retrograde at his birth, all of them from Jupiter outwards, so the whole slow half faces the other way while the Cancer group runs forward.

Saturn arrived back on its Aries birth degree on 16 April 2026, at twenty nine, the first time the planet of consequence had been home since he was born. Aries deals in what got going, so a first return there asks what the twenties actually launched. For a singer whose record names one band and nothing else, the launching is the part that sign can see and the holding is the part it cannot. Three planets inside six degrees of Cancer is the fact to take from this chart, and a Mercury on the sign's final degree is the detail underneath it: the speaking planet about to leave the protective sign and not quite doing so.
