What immediately stands out in Ben Vereen's chart is the heavy concentration of planets in Scorpio making him a very emotional and intense individual given to extremes. Fortunately, the Sun(and Neptune) are in balanced Libra mitigating this somewhat. The Moon in Aries can also be challenging for Librans giving their otherwise calm and peaceful nature a certain amount of passion, fieryness, impatience, and aggressiveness. Saturn in Leo gives good showmanship and learns hard lessons of pride, ego, love, and creative expression. Mercury in Scorpio is very penetrating and perceptive and makes an excellent spy, investigator, or researcher. They like to ponder the darker, more serious aspects of life, such as sex, death, desire, and regeneration. Venus in Scorpio is jealous, passionate, sexy, and values depth, focus, and determination. Mars in Scorpio is the heaven or hell position: they are either very very good or very very bad. They are brave in the face of danger and death and elicit strong reactions from others. Jupiter in Scorpio is sexy and magnetic and can literally get away with murder. They often lead double or secret lives and make excellent spies or investigators. They like to research sex and the occult or paranormal. Uranus in Gemini does a lot to lighten the impact of all those heavy Scorpio planets. This placement gives a funny, witty, humorous side that is also very versatile, attractive, and intelligent. They strongly believe in free speech, thought, and education. Neptune in Libra people are idealistic, artistic types who need people, beauty, and harmony in their lives. They dream of global or universal peace and unity. Pluto in Leo types are very creative and dramatic types who go to extremes in love and play. They find their unique place or niche in the entertainment industry.
