LR vote: Leo rising
Beautiful and intelligent Nelly Arcan has an interesting chart with the first half of her planets in feminine signs(Pisces dominating), and the second half in masculine signs so that there is somewhat of a disconnect between the personal nature and those of her generation. It may explain in part her difficulty to integrate within her social sphere leading to isolation and ultimately her tragic death. The rising sign appears to be in the fire element, particularly Leo or Sag. As a strong Pisces, type Nelly is an extremely sensitive and perceptive individual. Emotions rule the life as well as intuition and imagination. Music, film, and the arts in general are natural Piscean fields of work and expression. Sun and Mercury express the weaker or inferior traits of Pisces while Moon and Venus are better placed and express the more desirable or positive traits. The Sun here weakens and oversensitizes the ego and there is a tendency to let things slide or get complicated. Mercury here oversensitizes the mental or perceptive faculties and tends to take things too personally. Both the Sun and Mercury in Pisces do best in the visual or creative arts. Moon in Pisces is caring and sympathetic and they usually have very beautiful and expressive eyes. Venus in Pisces is emotional and romantic and very idealistic. Both the Moon and Venus in Pisces do well in music, film, art, and the caring professions. Mars in Capricorn is the only known earth planet in the chart giving Nelly some much needed grounding and practical ability, This Mars is sensual, cautious, and methodical and gets things done through planning, organization, and persistence. Jupiter in Aquarius likes to be different or unique and is a big respecter of truth, independance, and freedom. They can be funny, ingenious, and weird or futuristic, and aspire to do something positive and meaningful for humanity as a whole. Saturn in Gemini learns difficult but rewarding lessons of communication and becomes a skilled or professional writer, speaker, or teacher. Uranus in Libra is bright, sociable, attractive and artistic, and keeps a certain distance or independance in all relationships. Uranus also completes a grand air trine with Jupiter and Saturn(by sign) giving full intellectual and social capacities. Neptune, Nelly's solar ruler, is in Sagittarius giving her and her generation a strong desire to travel and explore and learn about different cultures and faiths. Pluto in Libra goes to extremes in relationships and produces exceptional beauty, art, and social events.
