Wes Anderson

Earth accounts for four of his ten planets, with two apiece in fire, air and water, and five of the ten were retrograde at his birth. The record calls Anderson the director of Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Grand Budapest Hotel, says his symmetry and colour are recognisable in a single frame, and gives Houston, Texas as his birthplace.

Three planets here sit at the very opening of their signs: Saturn on the thirteenth arcminute of Taurus, Uranus on the twenty fifth of Libra and Mercury on the first degree and a half of Gemini. In a record that names symmetry, that is a coincidence a reader will want to make into something, and it is not one, because where a planet falls inside a sign is a matter of the calendar. The Sun sits at eleven degrees of Taurus, built on steadiness and on what has accumulated rather than what was announced, and his Moon sits on the fourth degree of Scorpio at noon and this chart cannot rule out Libra, so it is left out.

Saturn lies at an awkward angle to Uranus at a fifth of a degree, which is order against revolt: the fight between security and freedom, and frustration with rules that serve nobody. A yod closes on that pair and Neptune, so the figure holds limit, upheaval and image together and does not resolve. Mercury sits in easy contact with that same Uranus at a degree, a mind that finds unexpected connections and is untroubled by unconventional conclusions. Jupiter sits sixty degrees from Neptune at just under a degree.

Jupiter came back to its Virgo birth degree on 25 August 2016, at forty seven, and three laps precede it. Virgo measures a thing by whether it was done properly, which for a record built on how a frame is arranged is a question answered in public every time. Four planets in earth with five of the ten retrograde is the shape of this chart: it builds, and most of what it builds from is turned inward.
