Mike Patton

Five of his ten planets sit in earth signs, two in air, two in water and a single one in fire. Earth keeps at the thing; the element that would go at it out of appetite is nearly absent. Patton sang in Faith No More and Mr Bungle, and the record credits him with a six octave range.

The Sun sits at seven degrees of Aquarius and the Moon at thirteen of Capricorn, with Venus on the second degree of Capricorn as well. Aquarius stands outside the arrangement and describes it; Capricorn works out what it costs. Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto group across twenty five degrees of Virgo. For somebody who has worked in two bands with very different registers, a detached Sun and a counting Moon is the pair that makes range a method rather than a stunt.

Nothing in this chart sits inside six tenths of a degree of exact, which makes it a loose birth with no single pressure point. The Sun stands at a strained angle to Pluto at under two thirds, the closest thing here, and makes easy contact with Saturn at four fifths. Venus makes an easy skill of its contact with Mars at just under a degree. The three planets facing the other way at his birth were Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto.

Saturn arrived back on its Aries birth degree on 19 April 2026, at fifty eight, which is a second Saturn return. Aries is concerned with what got under way, so a return there asks whether any of it was ever finished. For a record that names two bands and a vocal range rather than a tally of records, that is a fair thing to be asked at fifty eight. Five planets in earth and one in fire describes somebody who built the instrument rather than simply having it. Three planets gathered in Virgo, all of them facing backwards, is where the technical work sits in this chart, well away from the Aquarius Sun that gets the attention for it.
