Meet the man (and the lady) behind the chart.
Harris Glenn Milstead
AKA:
Divine!
He became a hero and a symbol to the gay community, one of the very first cross-dressers to achieve international success.
I find it incredibly apt that a person with Leo Pluto on Midheaven became internationally known for his role as "The Filthiest Person Alive", in Pink Flamingos. Queen of Filth = Leo + Pluto?

I called for some attempts to read the physical appearance because he was a fat person and I would never imagine it by looking at his chart.
With Mercury on ascendant, I'd expect a person with a slim figure, someone who looked light and able to move quickly. Glenn "Divine" Milstead was chubby since early years, but eventually became too large for his own good, and his weight definitely played a role in his early death, at 42, of heart failure.
He was compulsive, particularly with food and pot smoking. That Moon opposed Neptune perhaps plays a part in this? Or Jupiter conjunct Neptune? Also, could Saturn and Mars both weakened in Cancer have deprived Divine from a better metabolism? There is no earth whatsoever in this chart, so perhaps there was a lack of balance in that. Even then, I find there is a lot of air and I would never connect this chart with obesity at first glance.
I never thought of that before, but Scorpio on Ascendant perhaps points to a more round figure, "watery" silhouette, so to speak, not a "dry" silhouette like Capricorn or Virgo would produce. I know some others Scorpio Rising people and, even though they are not fat, they are not slim either.
That's it! Thanks everybody, this was fun, looking forward to the next riddle! If anyone want to further comment about our Divine Glenn, feel free.
