Our library holds 385 politicians with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 27 of them (7%) have the Moon in Aquarius, like Benjamin Franklin, and 12 (3%) share the Shatabhisha Nakshatra — the #20 most common Moon Nakshatra among politicians, where Uttara Bhadrapada leads with 25 (6%).
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
