Wim Hof

Fire claims four of his ten planets, earth three, water two and air a single one. Fire acts and earth endures, and the element that would talk somebody out of it is nearly absent. Hof is a Dutch athlete known for cold endurance and a breathing method, which is a discipline built on overriding what the body is reporting rather than on listening to it.

The Sun sits thirty seven minutes of arc from the end of Aries, so Taurus cannot be ruled out without a birth hour. Aries goes at a thing head on and Taurus simply refuses to move. Those are the two signs that between them describe sitting in ice water, and the chart will not say which of them is the identity, which is an unusually honest result for a man whose method is about the will.

Three yods run through this chart, which is a great deal of unresolved structure for one birth, and all three of them hold Neptune. A yod does not settle; it keeps pointing. Having the planet that dissolves the boundary between the self and everything else at the hinge of all three is the single most striking fact here. A T-square holds Mercury, Mars and Saturn as well.

Saturn arrived back on its Capricorn birth degree on 23 November 2018, at fifty nine, a fortnight after Jupiter closed its own lap. That is a second Saturn return, and Capricorn is the sign of what a thing costs to keep. For somebody whose entire practice is the deliberate acceptance of discomfort, the planet of endurance coming home to its own sign is a fitting marker. His Moon in Virgo makes a hard angle to Neptune at three fifths of a degree, which keeps the body and what it imagines about itself permanently slightly out of step.
