Swinburne, Algernon. Apr 5, 1837, 5:00 AM LMT, London, England (A).
Davis, Bette. Apr 5, 1908, 9:00 PM EST, Lowell, MA (A).

BONUS CHART:
Karajan, Herbert von. Apr 5, 1908, 10:30 PM CEt, Salzburg, Austria (AA).


Swinburne's chart is a Sidereal classic, used in Fagan's early "Solunars" columns as an example of a Pisces stellium run amok - a life that fit the symbolism splendidly. The contrast of horoscope and mundoscope is quite striking, with the mundane aspects adding as usual (a quadruple Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus conjunction for this great poet), but the horoscope adding close ecliptical conjunctions of Pluto to Sun-Moon, something obviously of enormous importance in describing his life, plus the spendthrift and indulgent close Mars-Jupiter conjunction opposite Neptune.
