Our library holds 314 writers and poets with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 30 of them (10%) have the Moon in Aquarius, like Toni Morrison, and 12 (4%) share the Shatabhisha Nakshatra — the #12 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.
