Ronnie Corbett's Birth Chart: Sagittarius Sun, Taurus Moon, Leo Rising
Comedian and actor; The Two Ronnies, Sorry!, the rambling armchair monologues
"A master of deliberate digression anchored by steady comic timing."
The life of Ronnie Corbett
Who was Ronnie Corbett?
Ronnie Corbett was a Scottish comedian and actor, born in Edinburgh, whose partnership with Ronnie Barker on BBC1's The Two Ronnies ran from 1971 to 1987 and made the pair a fixture of British television. He was known for the rambling monologues delivered from an oversized armchair, digressing at length before reaching a punchline, and for playing on his height as part of the act. He had come to notice on The Frost Report alongside Barker and John Cleese, and later starred in the sitcom Sorry! He continued performing into his eighties and was appointed CBE in 2012.

3 placements that explain this chart
Carrying a Fire Grand Trine and an elevated Taurus Moon, Ronnie Corbett turned intricate armchair monologues and sketch partnerships into enduring British television fixtures.
A Sagittarius Sun runs on the long anecdote and the wider view. It reaches a general point through a particular story and resists being pinned to one reading.
Taurus Moon gives that expansive Sun a settled base. Feeling here is durable and physical, so the restlessness sits over something genuinely unhurried underneath.
Leo Rising takes the stage first. The warm and deliberately visible approach suits a fire Sun, and gives the Taurus Moon's steadiness a much livelier front.
