Owen Cooper

Owen Cooper was the youngest male actor ever to win an acting Emmy, for Adolescence, and he is still sixteen. This reading stays on the work and the chart, because a child is not a subject for speculation.

He was born at Warrington on 5 December 2009 with the Sun, Mercury and Venus grouped in Sagittarius, Mercury on the very last degree of the sign. Sagittarius is the sign of the larger horizon and the dislike of walls, and having identity, speech and taste inside it describes somebody direct and unguarded, which is exactly the quality a performance like that one depends on and cannot be taught.

None of his ten planets is retrograde and only one is in earth. Nothing in this chart runs inward or holds back, and almost nothing in it is ballast. That is a very open arrangement, and it is worth saying plainly that it is also an exposed one for somebody whose first job was a part that required him to be exactly that.

The tightest aspect is Mars at a hard angle to Saturn at zero orb: exact to the arcminute, which happens in very few charts. Drive against an immovable rule. In an adult that is discipline or frustration depending on the life; in somebody this young it is mostly potential energy, and the chart gives no indication which way it resolves. Mars is also in awkward contact with Pluto and Saturn squares Pluto, so the same three planets keep meeting each other. A role built almost entirely out of held-back force was a strange first thing to be handed.

A performance built on being completely unguarded, from a chart with no retrogrades and one planet in earth, is the most honest reading available: there was nothing in the way. What that costs later is not something a chart can tell anybody, and this site is not going to guess.
