2 lines add up to Will

Near-even split across Will’s profile: creativity 2.40 and intuition 2.00. Creativity reads 8/10, 87th of 750, built on an exalted Venus and water; intuition reads 8/10, 82nd of 750, built on water and Moon in its home sign. Only Neptune with the Moon stays at zero.

Pisces Venus: the placement that leans Will

Only Venus leans the way Will’s crowd does: Venus in Pisces, 2.7× the normal rate in those 436 charts. Astrology’s shorthand for Venus there: romance with no edges. That Pisces Venus is also the single strongest magnet Will has (2.7×). Mercury in Capricorn, at 0.4×, argues against Will.

Barb finished 0.10 back

Barb pushed it close, 3.51 against Will’s 3.61. The split: Will collects 2.40 on creativity, and Barb answers with care at 2.00. Murray Bauman sits 0.44 behind that at 70%. Joyce Byers topped the raw number at 4.16 against Will’s 3.61, then lost out to the cast’s gender, age and role rules.

Barb Holland, for the record: Fans still demand “Justice for Barb” and remember her as the most loyal friend in the show.

And Murray Bauman: Murray helps Nancy and Jonathan get the truth about the lab out, speaks Russian and translates during the mission in season three.
