Vivien Leigh

A single one of her ten planets sits in fire and a single one in earth. Air and water take four each, and five of the ten are cardinal. Her Moon's sign is certain at seven degrees of Aquarius. Saturn, Neptune and Pluto were the three retrograde planets. The record says Leigh won Oscars for Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire, the two most demanding parts of her generation, and that bipolar disorder and tuberculosis shortened her career and her life.

Not one contact in this chart comes inside a degree, and that is the most useful thing it has to report. The tightest is the Moon sixty degrees from Mercury at a degree and a fifth, feelings articulating easily, and in most charts in this set an orb that wide would not reach the closest six at all. A record with two Oscars in it for the two hardest parts of a generation, sitting against a chart with nothing tightly wired in it, is a mismatch, and reporting the mismatch is worth more than dressing the orbs up as though they were close.

The record's second sentence is a diagnosis and a disease, and nothing in ten planets contains, predicts or accounts for either. Bipolar disorder is a condition with a clinical description, and a chart has no access to it whatsoever. The record says the two shortened her career and her life, and that sentence belongs to the record. This entry repeats it and adds nothing, because adding anything would mean inventing it.

What is left is loose and is given as loose. The Sun sits sixty degrees from Jupiter at a degree and a quarter, growth without much friction, read as opportunity that arrives through being well thought of. Mars, Neptune and Pluto all sit in Cancer but spread across twenty seven degrees of it, which is too wide a spread to behave like a group. She died in London on 8 July 1967, at fifty three. Neptune stood in easy contact with her natal Mars at a tenth of a degree that day, the only contact in either chart to come that close to exact. The Moon was new and one per cent lit.
