Computed with Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa).
Our library holds 314 writers and poets with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 29 of them (9%) have the Moon in Taurus, like Elaine Pagels, and 14 (4%) share the Mrigashira Nakshatra — the #6 most common Moon Nakshatra among writers and poets, where Shravana leads with 18 (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.
