Our library holds 314 writers and poets with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 29 of them (9%) have the Moon in Virgo, like William Faulkner, and 12 (4%) share the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra — the #12 most common Moon Nakshatra among writers and poets, where Shravana leads with 18 (6%).
