As an interesting possible house reference, Hugh Hefner's chart - fascinating for so many reasons - has one primary mundane aspect structure, a T-square of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. (It exists ecliptically but wider.)

Besides the symbolism of the planets themselves, these are in houses 2, 5, and 11, quickly tying together the ideas of wealth, pleasure, and a club.

Like Swinburne, Baudelaire was a Fagan favorite - another Pisces super-stellium. Not only is his life (perhaps even more than Swinburne's) a fabulous expression of Pisces at its fullest, he is especially perhaps the best single example of the way that religion and Eros or sensuality interweave (and often combat and tear at each other) in the Pisces soul. (I suppose these are the two fishes.) His Uranus-Neptune conjunction, which features prominently in his chart by aspect, is only 0°04' wide. House placements are salaciously accurate.

BTW, he was born only a couple of weeks after Sir Richard Burton.
