Movie actor Robin Williams has been one of the most popular
comedians for decades, and one reason is because he's a master
of improvisation. He rarely abides by any prescribed script
in his movies, and keeps everyone on the set astonished by what
comes out of his mouth next.
What shows this wild and zany humor in his chart? First of all,
notice that his Moon (mind) is conjunct Rahu, which is a wild,
innovative, spontaneous, anything goes planet by nature. They're
also conjunct in Aquarius, the most innovative, original, and
inventive sign. In addition, they're both opposite Venus, his
ascendant lord, which is the planet of creativity. This combination
indicates someone with wild, zany, creative outpourings. The
Moon is also the 10th lord so this connects these qualities
to his career.
Notice also that Mercury, the planet of humor, is in the 10th
house, conjunct the Sun, and quite closely aspected by Jupiter
who's strong in its own sign in Pisces, an imaginative sign.
This combination of Jupiter aspecting Mercury is often seen
in comedians as I've shown in a previous article entitled, Swami
Beyondananda, Wit and Humor.
