Our library holds 314 writers and poets with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 22 of them (7%) have the Moon in Aries, like Hans Christian Andersen, and 13 (4%) share the Bharani Nakshatra — the #7 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.
