AstroDatabank Newsmaker: Marcel Marceau

The great mime, Marcel Marceau, died recently. When I looked at his chart, I was immediately struck by his Ascendant in the sign of Gemini, a sign noted for its capacity to communicate and connect. To his audiences he was a fluent communicator of plot, character, action, emotion, experience and thought though he never uttered a single word or sound. Transcending the limitations of language and culture, he formed connections with the millions who watched him perform. In person he was articulate and thoughtful in expressing his views on his art and on life itself. Off-stage he enjoyed telling a good story, saying "Never get a mime talking. He won't stop." Let's look at his chart this week.

What Do You Think?

1. If you've seen Marcel Marceau perform you will remember the lithe movements, artful gestures, telling facial expressions and perfect timing that portrayed human experiences without a single word. Where in the chart might you see his talent for mime? Where's the ability to make "the invisible visible." The ability to show us the "art of the essential"? What factors, other than the Gemini Ascendant, might convey his off-stage enjoyment of conversation and story-telling?
2. He once said, "I am a progressive, a man who deals for peace, and who has struggled for enlightenment in the world. I am not just an entertainer." What in the chart indicates the thoughtful philosopher who sees and articulates the meaning and purpose of his art?
3. Marceau has a fixed grand cross involving Venus opposite Neptune and a wide conjunction of Moon-Mars opposite Jupiter. What does this aspect pattern tell us about him?

Previous Newsmaker: Luciano Pavarotti

Take a look at what our readers had to say about Luciano Pavarotti's chart:

1. Pavarotti was a man of big appetites — especially for art and music and food. In an interview with Mike Wallace for "60 Minutes" Pavarotti's playful side and his sense of humor are evident. In one scene, we witness a huge Pavarotti driving a small motor scooter, weaving in and out with Wallace in back, trying to grab on to the rotund waist in front of him. It might have been staged but the scene is a hoot. Where in the chart do you see Pavarotti's love for life, for beauty, for the pleasures of the senses? Are there astrological factors that might be associated with weight problems and where are they in his chart?
2. Where is that intensely beautiful voice in the chart? You might look to Venus-Neptune conjunction but often there are multiple ways a talent can be expressed astrologically. What are some of the others? In opera, one needs more than a beautiful voice. What factors in the chart show Pavarotti's ability to act, to emote, to move his audience so powerfully?
3. The great tenor had popularized opera without giving up one iota of excellence. Where is the ability to bring opera, usually considered a high-brow art, to the masses? If his mother had asked you to interpret his chart when he was a child, where would you have noted his future fame and fortune? What factors might indicate that he would become the standard-bearer in his field and famous for many generations to come?
