Matthew Gray Gubler

Four of the ten sit in earth and only one in air, plus three in water and two more in fire. Earth builds and keeps, and the element that would stand outside a thing and describe it is nearly absent. The record calls Gubler an American actor known for one long series and as an illustrator, which is two trades with opposite conditions: one done on a set with a hundred people, the other alone at a desk with a pen.

The Sun sits at nineteen degrees of Pisces, the sign that takes the shape of whatever it has entered and keeps no firm edge of its own, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Three more planets group in Virgo, directly opposite Pisces, holding Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. An actor who spent years inside one character and drew his own pictures in the gaps has the dissolving sign and the exacting one stationed across from each other.

Six of them were running backwards at his birth, which is a clear majority of the chart facing backwards and is uncommon enough to be the headline. Venus makes easy contact with Jupiter six hundredths of a degree away from exact, the narrowest orb here, which is taste and scale in effortless agreement. A T-square holds the Sun, Saturn and Neptune, so identity is braced at right angles between structure and image with no outlet. An actor who spent a decade inside one character and drew pictures in the gaps has somewhere to put all that backward motion.

Jupiter stood once more on the Virgo degree it started from, on 27 August 2015, at thirty five. Virgo corrects rather than expands, and the planet of reach in it asks whether the detail holds up rather than how far the thing travelled. For somebody who draws as well as acts, that is the measure the quieter of his two trades already uses on itself every working day.
