Astrology chart Thom Hoffman

Thom Hoffman is an actor and a photographer. Just like the other photographers (Anthony Armstrong Jones and Henri Cartier Bresson, click the label 'photographers' to see their charts) he has an aspect between Mars and Uranus (a creative quintile in this case) for using flashes. Uranus is the symbol of flashlight and electricity.

He has the pattern of artistic talent in his chart like this:

Pisces on Midheaven
Cancer Ascendant with an elevated Moon
Venus in Pisces
Venus trine Neptune (very tightly)
Moon inconjunct Netpune
Venus semi sextiele Neptune
VEnus half semi square Sun/Moon
Venus sesqui-semi square ASC/MC
Venus conjunct Midheaven

In other words: Neptune (dispositor of the Pisces MC) is connected with the Moon and Venus. This is reflecting sense of art,style and beauty with artistical talent related to a profession or to the public function. And with Venus sesquisquare Jupiter/Neptune he will have fans and followers.

Astrology chart Anthony Armstrong Jones

Anthony Armstrong Jones (more famous as the former husband of Princess Margareth than as a photographer) has Mars in mutual reception with Uranus and they are the final dispositors of the Midheaven routing (Sagittarius, Jupiter in Gemini, Mercury in Aquarius, Uranus in Aries <> Mars in Aquarius). Just like in the chart of Henry Cartier Bresson he used flashing (Uranus) tools (Mars) in his job. Of course, in Tony Armstrong Jones'chart there is a strong pattern of artistic talent. Venus (no aspect within 5 degrees, 'calling') is connected with the Moon (by a creative quintile for sense of style and arts), with Neptune (by a minor aspect of 157.5 degrees = sesqui square + half semi square; for artistic talents, probably frustrated) and the Midheaven (for public function).

Astrology chart Henri Cartier Bresson

Henri Cartier Bresson was a famous photographer in the 20th century. He was born 22nd August at 15:00 hours in Chanteloup with the pattern of artistic talent in his chart. He also sketched and painted. No wonder that Moon, Venus and Neptune were close together in Cancer, square the Midheaven in Libra. He died August 3, 2004. He is considered to be the master of modern photo journalism and is one of the founders of Magnum, a cooperative picture agency. He maried a Javanese dancer and travelled all over the world. Not surprising is that Jupiter, symbol of the international, is conjunct his natal Sun and that Sagittarius is the Ascendant, with Sun in the 9th equal house.

Mars is semi square Uranus. The midpoint Sun/Moon is connected with Mars and Uranus for using new techniques. And perhaps for a hot temper? I thought. I didn't find it on Wikipedia, but www.bookenthousiast.com mentions a biography and the hot temper that the writer of it mentions.
Using techniques or modern electronical tools is part of being a photographer. Anthony Armstrong Jones (another example on this blog) has Mars in mutual reception with Uranus and they are the final dispositors of the Midheaven routing (Sagittarius, Jupiter in Gemini, Mercury in Aquarius, Uranus in Aries <> Mars in Aquarius).
