Tech N9ne (American rapper)

* Tech N9ne has sold over two million albums and has had his music featured in film, television, and video games. In 2009, he won the Left Field Woodie award at the mtvU Woodie Awards.

His stage name originated from the TEC-9 semi-automatic handgun, a name given to him by rapper Black Walt due to his fast-rhyming Chopper style. Yates later applied a deeper meaning to the name, claiming that it stands for the complete technique of rhyme, with "tech" meaning technique and "nine" representing the number of completion.

Yates is known for his dynamic rhyme schemes and speed rap abilities known as the Chopper style. He stated that he purposely creates flow patterns in order to sound like a percussion while he raps. After hearing an instrumental he would come up with different kinds of patterns and then "fill in" the actual lyrics.

Natalie Clifford Barney, 1876–1972 (American playwright, poet and novelist)

* Natalie Clifford Barney lived as an expatriate in Paris. Her salon was held at her home at 20 rue Jacob in Paris' Left Bank for more than 60 years and brought together writers and artists from around the world, including many leading figures in French literature along with American and British Modernists of the Lost Generation. She worked to promote writing by women and formed a "Women's Academy" (L'Académie des Femmes) in response to the all-male French Academy while also giving support and inspiration to male writers from Remy de Gourmont to Truman Capote.

She was openly lesbian and began publishing love poems to women under her own name as early as 1900, considering scandal as "the best way of getting rid of nuisances" (meaning heterosexual attention from young males). In her writings she supported feminism and pacifism. She opposed monogamy and had many overlapping long and short-term relationships, including on-and-off romances with poet Renée Vivien and dancer Armen Ohanian and a 50-year relationship with painter Romaine Brooks. Her life and love affairs served as inspiration for many novels, ranging from the salacious French bestseller Sapphic Idyll to The Well of Loneliness, the most famous lesbian novel of the twentieth century.

In his 2015 autobiography, de Mooi reveals that once upon a time he was a sex worker in London, and that he believes he once killed a man, after punching him and throwing him in a canal in Amsterdam.

Pluto conjunct Moon plus three planets in Scorpio indeed!

Buck Clayton, 1911–1991 (American jazz trumpet player)

* Buck Clayton was a leading member of Count Basie’s "Old Testament" orchestra and a leader of mainstream-oriented jam session recordings in the 1950s. His principal influence was Louis Armstrong. The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that he “synthesi[zed] much of the history of jazz trumpet up to his own time, with a bright brassy tone and an apparently limitless facility for melodic improvisation”. Clayton worked closely with Li Jinhui, father of Chinese popular music in Shanghai. His contributions helped change musical history in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Guy Martin (British motorcycle racer, lorry mechanic, TV presenter)

* Guy Martin primarily competed in road racing events such as the Isle of Man TT, Ulster Grand Prix and North West 200. Widely regarded as an amiable and "colourful" character, Martin has at times found it difficult to concentrate on his racing, primarily as a consequence of the media attention he attracts, not least at the Isle of Man TT.

Martin has also courted a certain degree of controversy, both with race officials and team principals. Since 2011, Martin has also found success as the front man of several television programmes focusing on his passions of engineering, motor vehicles and speed.

He has Uranus unaspected in the last degree of Scorpio.

BIRTH DATA: 4 November 1981, 22:05 (10:05 PM) GMT (+0), Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, England (53n35, 0w05). ASC: 8 Leo. RR: B (Autobiography). SOURCE: Sy Scholfield quotes from his book, Guy Martin: My Autobiography (Virgin Digital, 2014): "in Grimsby, in 1981. I was born in the maternity hospital in Nunsthorpe . . . at eight at night the midwife told them nothing would happen until midnight, so Dad . . . missed me being born at just gone ten. . . On 4 November 1981, the Martin family, now with . . . a day old baby boy, left hospital. . ."

N.B. This indicates that he was born on 3 November but all other references including the "About the Author" blurb in his book state he was born on 4 November.

* Beccy Cole has released eight albums, with three reaching the ARIA Albums Chart top 40: Little Victories (20 January 2003), Preloved (3 September 2010) and Songs & Pictures (10 October 2011). Cole has received nine Golden Guitar trophies at the CMAA Country Music Awards of Australia.

Cole reveals in her autobiography that she was born at 11:05 pm at Glenelg Hospital in Adelaide. She thus has the first degree of Cancer on her Ascendant ruled by the Moon in Cancer on her South Node in the first house.

Baccio Bandinelli (Italian Renaissance sculptor, draughtsman and painter)

* Pluto and its sign Scorpio are associated with intense jealousy. Baccio Bandinelli had Pluto in Scorpio opposite his Ascendant (smack-bang on his 7th cusp) ruling the Sun in the last degree of Scorpio (also in the 7th). Notorious for his envy (of other artists), he obsessively imitated the works of Michelangelo whom he saw as a rival, and he tried to sabotage Benvenuto Cellini's career. Bandinelli's Venus (arts, values, relationships) ruled his Ascendant from Pluto's domain: the 8th House. His Venus was also conjunct Michelangelo's Ascendant.

BIRTH DATA: Bartolommeo Brandini, 12 November 1493 OS, 15:25 (3:25 PM) LMT (-0:45), Florence, Italy (43n46, 11e15). ASC: 8 Taurus. RR: B (from biography, but birth records are indicated). SOURCE: Sy Scholfield cites birth documents quoted in "Baccio Bandinelli and art at the Medici court: a corpus of early modern sources, Volume 251" by Louis Alexander Waldman (American Philosophical Society, 2004), p. 7: "born in Florence (an hour before sunset) and baptized the following day . . . In the earlier literature BB's birthdate was often given as 1488, based on the erroneous assumption that the baptismal record of his uncle, Bartolomeo di Viviano di Bartolomeo, dated 7 October 1488 (Doc. 11), referred to him. In the 'Libri d'età' of the Archivio delle Tratte, however, the correct birthdate is corroborated: 'Messer Bartolomeo di Michelagnolo di Viviano Bandinelli adì 12 di novembre 1493' (ASF, Tratte, 81 [ex 444bis], fol. 9). 21. 1493, November 13." Scholfield calculates sunset at 4:25pm so an hour earlier makes 3:25pm.

Casey Wilson (American actress, comedian, screenwriter)

* Casey Wilson has a rare Slingshot shape in her chart (All the planets are in less that 120° of the circle - actually less than 90° - except for a conjunction of Moon-Chiron in Taurus which is practically unaspected bar an opposition with Mercury in Scorpio). Wilson has laugh-out-loud Jupiter (in the 9th, the house of comedy) conjunct Saturn, ruler of her Capricorn Ascendant. She excels as a comedian, having shot to fame with a two-season stint as a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 2008 to 2009. She was the first SNL cast member to have been born in the 1980s. Her most memorable work on SNL included celebrity impressions of Rachael Ray, Elizabeth Dole, Elizabeth Taylor, Katy Perry, Jennifer Aniston (and so on), as well as sexed-up original characters such as Dusty Velvet, "the paralyzed stripper" and Toni Ward, co-host of "The Cougar Den."

SOURCE: Sy Scholfield quotes her in an interview: "I ... saw an astrologer (I'm a Scorpio sun, Capricorn rising, which explains a lot)." ("Casey Wilson: Yes, I Slept With My Boss" by Casey Wilson, Cosmopolitan, 14 October 2014 http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/tv/a32092/casey-wilson-slept-with-boss-essay/). Date and place of birth from articles sourced through her Wikipedia entry. Note: A speculative time of 1:20pm gives mid Capricorn (15 degrees) rising.

Adrienne Bailon (American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, TV personality)

* Adrienne Bailon rose to prominence as the lead vocalist of the American Disney group The Cheetah Girls (2003-2008). The group was made famous by the eponymous Disney Channel film and its sequels, The Cheetah Girls 2 and The Cheetah Girls: One World. The group released three studio albums, Cheetah-licious Christmas, In Concert: The Party's Just Begun Tour, and TCG and several RIAA certified Platinum albums including, The Cheetah Girls, The Cheetah Girls 2, and The Cheetah Girls: One World. The group has launched a clothing line, several perfume collections, doll lines, room decor, a book series, and a video games line. The Cheetah Girls group has sold over 3.6 million records worldwide.

Bailon has Leo rising ruled by an angular Sun in the first degree of Scorpio conjunct its ruler Pluto. Just goes to show that a Sun-Pluto personality can thrive in leadership of a feline entity. You don't have to play a lioness, tapping into the cheetah archetype will do!

Nawal El Saadawi (Egyptian feminist writer, activist, physician, psychiatrist)

* Nawal El Saadawi has written many books on the subject of women in Islam, paying particular attention to the practice of female genital mutilation in her society.

BIRTH DATA: 27 October 1931, 04:00 (4AM) EET (-2), Banha, Egypt (30n28, 31e11). ASC: 5 Libra. RR: A (from memory). SOURCE: Sy Scholfield cites her retelling of her grandmother's account of her birth in "A Daughter of Isis: The Autobiography of Nawal El Saadawi" by Nawal El Saadawi (Spinifex, 2000), pp. 18-20: "With the first light of dawn creeping through the night of that month of October, before the sun came up ... with the last stroke of four dropping like a dying gasp from the ancient clock on the wall, rose a cry ... of a woman in labour which went through the night just once. Then there was a long heavy silence, as though both the woman and the child had died. ... after that one and only shriek ... the dark obstinate head thrust out slowly ... [and the baby went] out into the world as quickly as it could."

Conchita Wurst (Austrian singer, fashion designer, gender illusionist)

* In May 2014 Conchita Wurst (AKA Tom Neuwirth) won the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen with the song "Rise Like a Phoenix." An apt song title for her Scorpio stellium, including Sun conjunct Pluto. The gorgeous Conchita has Taurus rising ruled by Venus conjunct the Moon in Libra, surely showing excellent prospects for her fashion design career. With her trademark beard, she has an unusual appearance that challenges traditional concepts of gender and sexuality: Uranus in the 8th House quincunxes her Ascendant and in turn is ruled by Jupiter in her 1st House.

NATAL DATA and ASTROLOGY CHART

BIRTH DATA: Thomas Neuwirth, 6 November 1988, 17:00 (5 PM) MET (-1), Gmunden, Austria (47n55, 13e48). ASC: 24 Taurus. RR: A (from mother's memory). SOURCE: Sy Scholfield quotes Tom/Conchita's mother Helga Neuwirth in the Austrian documentary, "Conchita Wurst: To Eurovision" (ORF, 2014; viewed on SBS2 TV, Australia, 5 June 2014, English subtitles), in which she says that she was in labour with Tom/Conchita for 12 hours "from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m."

Michael Zühlke‏ (German pornstar)

* What does a guy need to become a pornstar? Michael Zühlke‏ (alias Pornfighter Long John) has a 23.5 cm (9.25 inch) genital appendage which no doubt helped, but certainly so did his Scorpio stellium including Mars in the 9th House. Sagittarius and the 9th are all about abundance and excess. Zühlke‏ has Pisces on his ascendant ruled by Neptune in Sagg in the 9th: he has performed in or produced 2300 erotic films. Venus on the MC in Sagittarius can translate into physical intimacy with a lot of young females. Zühlke claims to have had sex with 4888 women, many times in gang-bangs. For the sheer sake of pleasure, Jupiter in Taurus (in mutual reception with Venus on the MC) can make for one very happy and very lucky guy. And perhaps also, a very worn out one!

BIRTH DATA: Michael Zühlke, 10 November 1976, 14:30 (2:30 pm) CET (-1), Berlin, Germany (52n30, 13e22). ASC: 19 Pisces. RR: B (from autobiography). SOURCE: Sy Scholfield quotes "23,5 cm harte Arbeit: Mein Leben als erfolgreichster deutscher Pornodarsteller" by Michael Zühlke and Christoph Brandhurst (Riva Verlag, 2012): "Der 10. November 1976. ... Nicht länger als nötig wollten sie im Kreißsaal der Berliner Charité herumstehen und noch viel weniger am nächsten Tag, ... um 14.30 Uhr, kam ich zur Welt." Abridged translation: On November 10, 1976 in the delivery room of the Berlin Charité (hospital), I came into the world at 14.30 o'clock.
