Water takes four of the ten planets, fire three, earth two and a single one air, with four of the ten fixed. Pluto was the only retrograde planet. The record is one line: Chan is a doctor who runs one of the largest private philanthropies in the world.

Jupiter is in four of the six closest contacts here, and that matters because of what a reader will be told Jupiter means. It is the planet of scale and of generosity at the same time, and it is the busiest thing in the chart of somebody whose record puts scale and generosity in a single sentence. That is a tidy coincidence, and it needs handling carefully, because the four readings do not agree with one another.

Mars sits a fifth of a turn from Jupiter at under four tenths of a degree, effort that pays: well-timed action, and the useful ability to commit fully without agonising. Jupiter sits in quiet contact with Neptune at under nine tenths, generous imagination: vision, and an ability to inspire other people. Then Jupiter sits in hard contact with Pluto at under two thirds, and that reading is ambition and force colliding: overreaching for control, zealotry, and growth pursued past the point where it is good for anybody. A record that uses the word largest and a reading that warns about growth past the point of usefulness are not the same claim, and no chart can assess a foundation. All three are printed here and none of them is settled.

Venus sits conjunct Mars at just over two thirds of a degree, wanting and pursuing being one thing, which is magnetism and a person for whom attraction and action are not separable. Venus also sits in easy contact with Uranus at under three fifths, independent affection without conflict, and a fifth of a turn from Jupiter at just over a degree, social luck and a genuine capacity for enjoyment. The Moon sits sixteen arcminutes into Taurus at noon with Aries still possible, so it is left out, and the chart's only closed figure goes with it, a T-square using that Moon with Jupiter and Pluto. Saturn sits on the last two degrees of Scorpio. Jupiter came back to its Aquarius birth degree on 6 January 2021, at thirty five, and two laps precede it.
