Max Meldrum, 1875–1955 (Scottish-Australian painter)

* Max Meldrum is known as the founder of Australian Tonalism, a representational style of painting that emerged in Melbourne during the 1910s, as well as for his portrait work, having won the Archibald Prize in 1939 and 1940.

Meldrum's unique theory of painting (Uranus on MC) was based on "the importance of tonal values and objective optical analysis, resulting in simple representational works characterised by a 'misty' or atmospheric quality" (nebulous Neptune is exactly opposite his Ascendant).

This pioneering artist also had the zero degree of Scorpio on his Ascendant and six planets (including Pluto opposite and ruling Jupiter-Mercury in Scorpio) all in a Fixed Grand Cross. Meldrum's "published theories of art created a storm in the Australian art world, and his school of painting attracted equally passionate followers and critics."

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.

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).

Jewel Akens, 1933–2013 (American singer and record producer)

* Jewel Akens recorded the single, "The Birds And The Bees," in 1965, and the song went to Number 3 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart that year, and Number 2 on the Cash Box chart. It reached Number 29 in the UK Singles Chart, selling over one million copies worldwide, and was awarded a gold disc.

The lyric is based on the "birds and the bees" idiom commonly referenced with regard to affording young people their introductory sex education. Akens had an Aries Ascendant ruled by a very sexual Mars in Scorpio on his 8th house cusp, softened by a euphemistic sextile from Neptune.

The Our Gang shorts were later syndicated to television as The Little Rascals.

McFarland had a bright and sharp conjunction of Venus and Mercury on his Scorpio MC.

Evan Rachel Wood (American actress and singer)

* Evan Rachel Wood reportedly tweeted that she was born at 1:12 p.m., but I have her birth certificate on file clearly stating 1:24 p.m. as her time of birth.

Wood has been described by The Guardian as "one of the best actresses of her generation."

She has the dramatic Sun conjunct her MC and Jupiter in the last degree of Aries in the 5th, the house of acting. The Sun and Jupiter co-rule Uranus in the Leo decan of Sagittarius in the 1st house.

WIKIPEDIA BLURB

Evan Rachel Wood began her acting career in the late 1990s, appearing in several television series, including American Gothic (1995–1996) and Once and Again (1999–2002). She made her début as a leading film actress at the age of nine in Digging to China (1998) and became well known after her transition to a more adult-oriented Golden Globe-nominated role in the teen drama film Thirteen (2003).[2] Wood continued acting mostly in independent films, including Pretty Persuasion (2005), Down in the Valley (2006), Running with Scissors (2006), and in the big studio production Across the Universe (2007). Since 2008, Wood has appeared in more mainstream films, including The Wrestler (2008), Whatever Works (2009) and The Ides of March (2011).

Marie-Louise von Motesiczky (Austrian exiled artist)

* During the Nazi annexation of Vienna in 1938, Marie-Louise von Motesiczky and her mother fled her homeland of Austria to seek refuge in London where she would be based for nearly six decades, working among other exiled artists. As an artist-foreigner, she embodied the archetype of her Venus in Sagittarius. With her Sun rising at 29° Libra, it was only at the end of her life that Motesiczky gained recognition as one of Austria’s most important 20th-century painters. Her biography is titled "the undiscovered expressionist": Venus, as ruler of her Sun and Ascendant, is unaspected except for a restrictive square from a retrograde Saturn.

WIKIPEDIA BLURB

Marie-Louise von Motesiczky was born in Vienna to an aristocratic family. As her family included Jewish descent, she had to flee the Nazi annexation of Vienna in 1938. Motesiczky, accompanied by her mother Henriette, fled to London. Following the end of the war, Motesiczky exhibited her paintings in many European institutions and she continued to work from her house in London, where she lived only with her mother and a single maid. Motesiczky's major breakthrough in the UK occurred in 1985, with a major retrospective at the Goethe Institute in London, which generated much acclaim and saw her reputation as a major Austrian artist cemented. She died in London on June 10, 1996.

Julie Vellay Pissarro (French artist's model)

* Julie Vellay, who was the mistress, then the wife, of the painter Camille Pissarro (known as the "Father of Impressionism"), also posed for him. As the devoted mother to their brood of children, she had the Moon in the domestic 4th House on the IC. Her Moon was in artistic Pisces under trine from Saturn in Scorpio on her Ascendant: They had eight children, one who died at birth and one daughter who died aged nine. The surviving children all painted, and Lucien (see his chart), the oldest son, became a landscape artist.

Biography

Julie Vellay, the peasant daughter of a vineyard grower, was employed as a maid in the household of the mother of Camille Pissarro (1830-1903). Vellay became his mistress in 1860 and they were married in London in 1871 while she was pregnant with their third child. After returning to France later that year they lived outside of Paris in Pontoise and later in Louveciennes, both places inspiring many of his paintings including scenes of village life, along with rivers, woods, and people at work. Julie Pissarro died, aged 87, on 16 May 1926 in Éragny, Oise, France.

Gabrielle Renard, 1878–1959 (French nanny, artist's model)

* In this painting by Auguste Renoir, Gabrielle Renard plays with his son Jean. As both nanny and artist's model, Renard here embodies her Venus in Cancer - which rises in her chart and conjuncts the horizon of Jean Renoir's chart. Gabrielle and Jean not only shared the same Ascendant sign, they shared a lifelong bond. Her Moon is on his IC: their bond was nurtured by her loving influence over him. She took the young Jean to see his first movie. One day he would become an acclaimed filmmaker.

See their data and charts below.

WIKIPEDIA BLURB

Gabrielle Renard (August 1, 1878 – February 26, 1959) was a French woman who became an important member of the family of the painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, first becoming a nanny and subsequently, a frequent model for the artist. Upon her marriage in 1921 she became Gabrielle Renard-Slade.

Born in Essoyes in the Aube departement of France, she was a cousin of Aline Victorine Charigot Renoir, who had married the painter, Pierre-Auguste. The village was the birthplace of Aline also. At age sixteen, Gabrielle Renard moved to Montmartre to live and work as a nanny in her cousin's household, where the second of the three Renoir sons was about to be born. Renard became the subject of a number of Renoir's portraits, many of her with the children.

Gabrielle Renard developed a strong bond with the infant, Jean Renoir, that would last throughout their lives. She introduced him to the Guignol puppet shows that were held in the Montmartre. Gabrielle was fascinated by the new motion picture invention and when Jean Renoir was only a few years old, Gabrielle took him to see his first film. He became a renowned film maker.

Arnold Palmer (American professional golfer)

* Arnold Palmer ― the "superstar" golfer nicknamed "The King" ― has the royal Sun rising in the first house at the apex of a T-square.

WIKIPEDIA BIOGRAPHY

Arnold Daniel Palmer (born September 10, 1929) is generally regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men's professional golf. He has won numerous events on both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour, dating back to 1955. Nicknamed "The King," he is one of golf's most popular stars and its most important trailblazer, because he was the first superstar of the sport's television age, which began in the 1950s. He is part of "The Big Three" in golf, along with Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, who are widely credited with popularizing and commercialising the sport around the world.

Palmer won the PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998, and in 1974 was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Brandon Thomas, 1848–1914 (Actor, playwright, songwriter)

* Brandon Thomas's father recorded his time of birth in the family Pedigree Book.

Walter Brandon Thomas (24 December 1848 – 19 June 1914) was an English actor, playwright and song writer, best known as the author of the farce Charley's Aunt.

Born in Liverpool to a family with no theatrical connections, Thomas worked in commerce, and as an occasional journalist, before achieving his ambition of becoming an actor. After a succession of minor roles, he became increasingly sought after as a character actor. He also wrote more than a dozen plays, the most celebrated of which, Charley's Aunt (1892), broke all historic records for plays of any kind, with an original London run of 1,466 performances and numerous subsequent productions all around the world, film and musical theatre adaptations.

Although Thomas never repeated the prodigious success of Charley's Aunt, he maintained a career as an actor and dramatist until his death, acting mostly in comedy, but with occasional serious roles in the plays of Shakespeare and others.
