Tom Odell

Fire takes four of his ten planets, earth three, air two and a single one water. Fire moves and earth builds; the element that would register what any of it cost is down to one planet. The record calls Odell an English singer and pianist of Another Love, and says the song found a second life a decade after release.

The Sun sits on the second degree of Sagittarius with Venus at eight and Mercury at twenty, three planets in the sign built around freedom and the pursuit of something larger. Saturn, Uranus and Neptune sit inside fourteen degrees of Capricorn. The Moon answers from Aquarius at twenty, handling a feeling by stepping back to examine it. For a songwriter whose named song outlived its own release by a decade, a Sagittarius group over an Aquarius Moon is the division that matters: the reaching is warm and the examining is cool.

Four contacts in this chart sit inside a sixth of a degree, which is unusually tight wiring. Venus sits in quiet contact with Uranus at five hundredths of a degree, independent affection and unconventional arrangements that work; Mars sits in hard contact with Saturn at eleven hundredths, drive meeting refusal; the Moon sits sixty degrees from Mercury at thirteen hundredths, feelings that articulate easily; and the Moon sits seventy two degrees from Venus at fourteen hundredths. Mars alone was retrograde at his birth. In a songwriter, four contacts that tight is unusual wiring and most of what a record of one song rests on.

Jupiter came back round to its Leo birth degree on 31 August 2026, at thirty five, and two laps precede it. Leo asks who was watching, and for a song that found a second audience ten years after the first one, that is a question with two separate answers. The second life the record describes belongs to the lap that closed with this return. Feeling wired to both speech and taste inside fourteen hundredths of a degree, in a songwriter, is the fact to keep.
