Geri Jewell (American actress, motivational speaker, and disability & diversity consultant)

* Geri Jewell was the first person with a disability to have a regular role on a prime time American TV series, when she played Cousin Geri, on the sitcom The Facts of Life from 1980 to 1984. The title of her autobiography, I’m Walking As Straight As I Can refers to both Jewell’s lesbianism and cerebral palsy.

Uranus in a chart can indicate how a person handles their difference (and other people's reactions to it). Jewell has Uranus personalised in dramatic Leo through a conjunction with Venus, the ruler of her Libran Ascendant. She has seen two sides of Uranus: "the relentless discrimination and abuse she suffered at the hands of people she trusted" in show business, and the joy of becoming an outspoken advocate for people with disabilities.

Doug Brown (American professional skateboarder)

* Doug Brown has vocal Mercury in sporty Leo on his Midheaven.

Now aged 40, he continues his career as a pro-skateboarder while working as a motivational speaker at schools and detention centres. His Grand Fire Trine gives him plenty of energy to burn. Jupiter in Aquarius (opposite his Mercury) makes his Grand Trine into a Kite pattern, helping him to harness this energy and soar.

J. R. Martinez (American actor, motivational speaker, army veteran, survivor)

* J. R. Martinez's wristwatch saved the underlying skin when he sustained burns to a third of his body while serving in Iraq. He now has a tattoo of a watch around his wrist, with the hands showing 2:30 p.m. - the time of his injury and of his birth. At the time of his injury Jupiter on the Ascendant was conjunct his natal Venus-Moon conjunction in Leo, Pluto in Sagittarius was opposite his natal Mars, and the Sun in Aries was conjunct his natal Eris. That's a lot of fire, in a Grand Fire Trine. Martinez has transcended his injuries partly by becoming a motivational speaker. Data and charts below.

"The tattoo you've more likely seen on me is the watch on my left wrist . . . 'And by the way, out of curiosity, what time of day was I born?' 'It was two thirty in the afternoon,' she [my mother] told me. I was born and reborn at the same time."
