Sean Bean

Five of the ten sit in fire signs and only one in air, with two each in earth and water. Fire asserts and air is the element that would step back and comment on it; there is almost none of the second. The record gives Bean three parts and a reputation for not surviving the third act, which is a career built on being the man a story spends rather than the man it saves.

The Sun sits at twenty seven degrees of Aries and the Moon at eleven degrees of Leo, two fire signs: the one that goes first and the one that is watched while doing it. An actor repeatedly cast as the figure who leads and then falls has both of those in the casting, since the part needs somebody the audience will follow and somebody whose loss will register when it happens.

Mercury stands at an awkward angle to Pluto four hundredths of a degree away from exact, which is as close as the arithmetic puts a pair: speech tied to concentrated force at effectively no distance. A T-square holds Venus, Jupiter and Pluto, so what he values is braced at right angles between the planet of scale and the planet of force with no outlet in the configuration. Five planets of the ten were running backwards at his birth, which is half the chart reviewing itself rather than pressing forward, and in an actor whose parts are remembered for how they ended that is a telling majority.

Saturn returned to the Capricorn degree it occupied at the beginning on 23 November 2018, at fifty nine, which is a second Saturn return rather than a first. Capricorn keeps accounts, and the second return asks whether what the first one built was worth holding on to. For an actor whose record is a list of memorable departures, the question has a certain symmetry to it.
