The planet that determines the popularity and fame that one gets is Venus. This is also the planet the will control how well one fares in the performing arts such as music or acting.
A summary bu Celeste Teal:
I did a study of the charts of 150 famous people from all walks of life to determine what similarities their charts held. The findings were significant and I enjoyed the project immensely. Even if your goal is only to elicit a favorable response from others, you should find some interesting things about yourself based on your Moon.
Fame, Popularity and Lunar Aspects
To determine the odds for fame, popularity and public appeal, an analysis of the Lunar aspects are extremely revealing. As the second most important feature in the horoscope, the Moon reveals our basic personality traits. The amount of popularity we enjoy and the general response others have to us is shown in the condition of the natal Moon, therefore it is an ideal indicator of potential fame. If the Moon in your natal chart is prominent by a position on an angle of the chart or by several aspects to other planets, you could be on your way. These show a natural potential for appealing to the masses.
Highly sensitive and variable, the Moon is greatly influenced by any planet it contacts. Each contact signifies certain individual talents and qualities, and describes fine points regarding the opinions and responses of others to us. Easy contacts suggest that relationships run smoothly for the most part, and these individuals rarely need give much thought to their public status. On the other hand, there may be squares or oppositions suggesting some slight quirks in the personality. These personality quirks are often reflected in fluctuations or reversals in popularity and status. These very peculiarities are, frequently, the very source of individual success, but the reflective aspect suggests a certain amount of stress and possible setbacks unless properly directed. Some of the most famous achievers had stressful Moon aspects to overcome, and as you’ll see shortly, it is better to have difficult contacts than no contacts at all. For fame and popularity, the more aspects to the Moon, the better!
The dominant feature revealed in this study was the significant number of aspects made by the Moons in the natal horoscopes. The widest allowable orb was used to determine the aspects; 10 degrees for the conjunction, square, trine and opposition, and 6 degrees for the sextile.
The average number of Moon aspects was 3.5. Only major aspects were considered, so this figure would have been considerably higher if the minor aspects were taken. Less than 5% of the charts had only one aspect to the Moon, and in these there were other outstanding features in the charts. These Moons were usually angular, so it appears that an angular Moon can make up for a lack of aspects and adds to its overall prominence. 10% of the charts had six or more aspects to the Moon.
The nature of the aspects were fairly equally divided overall, but there were some interesting results from the planets most frequently aspected. Jupiter, the “greater fortune” was in aspect to the Moon in 50% of the charts! Of these, only a little over half were in easy aspect to the Moon. Coming in just under Jupiter were aspects to the Sun, Venus, and Mars. These three showed similar figures, and were each found in roughly 42% of the charts. Of course, the Sun and Venus are benefics, bringing honor and fortune. Mars is closely associated with the public image one is able to maintain, but again there were an equal number of easy and hard aspects of the Moon to Mars. The four outer planets were equally divided in the number of aspects received by the Moon and each was found in approximately 36% of the charts. Mercury was the planet least aspected by the Moon, but was still found making a contact in nearly 30% of the charts.
The Aries Point
There is an additional factor, which figures prominently into the formula for fame. That is the Aries Point. If your Moon was in the first degree of one of the cardinal signs, this shows a great involvement with the larger world. This would be 0 Aries, 0 Cancer, 0 Libra, or 0 Capricorn. If another planet is in one of these degrees and makes a link to the Moon, the qualities of that planet can give clues to how you might utilize your popularity potential.
With each of the links the Moon makes, the potential type of achievement is found through the nature of the planet, whether this is a hard or soft contact. The advantage with the hard aspects is that they force us to expend greater efforts to bring about satisfactory results from the planetary energies. With the easier aspects, we enjoy a certain amount of harmony without effort, and can simply get too comfortable to push for further improvement.
The Progressed Moon
Since the Moon position shows an area of fluctuating circumstances, its progressed position and aspects reveal much about our daily encounters and popular appeal on a short-term basis. As the progressed Moon gets within one degree of an aspect to a natal or progressed planet, the effects can be felt for about three months, usually with any significant events taking place at about the time the aspect is exact. If it contacts a planet to which it was aspected with in the natal chart, the time period is even more important. The natal aspect will frequently have an outlet in the progressed contact.
