Six planets of the ten sit in water signs, two in fire, and one each in earth and air. Water registers everything before deciding anything; the elements that would ground any of it or talk it over are down to a planet apiece. Sykes sings in Bring Me the Horizon, and the record also names a clothing label.

The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto group across twenty two degrees of Scorpio, four planets in the sign that commits totally and explains nothing, and the Moon answers from Cancer. Both are water signs, so the whole personal half of this chart runs on what it registers rather than on what it decides. For a singer in a band working in a loud form, six planets in water is the reading nobody would guess from the records.

A grand trine holds the Moon, Mercury and Jupiter in easy agreement, which is the most self contained of the named figures. Mercury makes easy contact with Jupiter at a fifth of a degree, the tightest contact here, speech and scale on uncomplicated terms. The Moon stands at a strained angle to Mars at under a quarter. Mercury and Venus were the two retrograde planets, which turns speech and taste inward together. For a singer, speech and scale on terms that uncomplicated is what lets a loud form carry a plain line.

Jupiter closed a full circuit on its Pisces birth degree on 26 February 2022, at thirty five. Pisces keeps no shape of its own, which turns the question into what else got taken on, and two circuits precede it. For somebody whose record names a band and a clothing label, what else got taken on is exactly the question. Four planets in Scorpio and a Cancer Moon describes somebody whose work sounds like force and is actually made of attention. His Sun sits on the twenty eighth degree of Scorpio, nearly out of the sign, which puts the identity at the far end of the one that gives nothing away. With a single planet in earth, the second trade the record names was never going to be the careful one.
