Take this with a grain of salt as I do not have the accurate birth time for James, much less birthplace… So if that is discovered then we might be in for a treat.

My Analysis and Observations
(to be criticized and reworked upon)
Based on the chart above (excluding ascendant as precise birth times require precise timing and location), James or Zhao Yufan has Satabisha Moon 🌕 Chitra Sun ☀️ Mercury Swati 🗡️ , Venus Anuradha 🪷 , Mars Krittika 🔪, Jupiter Chitra 💎 , Saturn Pushya 🥛, Rahu Revati 🐟 , Ketu Hasta 🤚
On this alone this man is meant to be an artist standing up on stage and performing because wow 🤲🫢
His placements speak for themselves. His presence and aura commands he be present in this life time to be an ARTIST and to obviously ✨PERFORM ✨
Now for Vedic Astrology the Moon 🌝 is of the highest importance as that reflects and projects the mental and emotional processes, intimately about a human being and their approach to tackling situations. That mental fortitude is of highest importance before the soul and honestly from the moon is where we see how people should ground themselves.
As for James, his moon is in Shatabisha ⭕️, the enclosed circle where the ocean can be summoned. Prominent artists who have pioneered new techniques and practices over time (highly recommend Claire Nakhti’s video on this for more context) had Shatabisha ⭕️ in their chart.
Now for James, I do not really know of his journey but as an artist, I can see that his moon being in the third house communicating his message to have a greater impact on people is of highest importance before importance. Even when he’s traveling short distance, he makes it his point to spread the word about CORTIS and his art.
Then after moon, Rahu in his fourth house and in the sign of Revati 🐟 Now the story of Revati, is where she travels with her father, King Kakudmi of Kushasthali to Lord Brahma’s domain, Brahmaloka, in order to find Revati her ideal partner. Well… it turns out so much time had passed through that pilgrimage and stay, that if Revati and her father goes back it will be centuries into the future and much of her past relationships and the life she once had are gone.
Now in James’s case, I do not think it is all gloomy doomsday, but I see that for his artistry he is willing to travel far, into foreign lands to make sure it is known. So he is always ready to take the extra steps, even leading towards the future. Opposite to that he has his Chitra Sun 💎 and Hasta Ketu 🤚 and with those signs, whatever he conjures for career success— it can happen. James is a builder of his own right, so he will push forth and make things happen. There will be great results there and even possible to gain greater recognition from a large collective audience. Even win awards or recognition from government as tenth house is a part of high governing positions.
Now fifth house associated with the ‘creative house’ indicates that with James his Mars is Retrograde (strong) in Krittika 🔪 Themes of Krittika 🔪 (knives, cuts, medical, surgeon, mastery of cultivation, fire, chefs, cooks, etc.; if some of you thought of Katseye’s “Gnarly” then yes) all are there. With James, his creative nature is sharp and on edge… a fire he can use to temper and cook his art with. James ✨ COOKS ✨
So jumping to his Mercury (communication style, intellect and business) and Jupiter (guidance, lessons, moral compass) I see that Jupiter in Chitra 💎 and Mercury in Swati 🗡️ , this is in his eleventh house following his tenth house. I would say here he finds his social circle to be a comforting place to rely upon and even help inspire him. He could also go into humanitarian work if he thought and maybe contribute to great social causes if he wants to as the eleventh house is also about that. Also gains in his life following tenth house, so it is through forming more connections with people and expanding his network/sphere of influence can he really reach that high goal in mind. Chitra 💎 being architect and Swati 🗡️ another creator expansive, vast like space, James is the type of artist who is successful at building towards what he desires to have. Expansive mind and capable sense— he is meant to go far.
In terms of communication, he can be elusive and but he mostly says things with intention. If he does joke around, he makes it apparent. So there is not much for him to hide in his communication. But to find clarification, why do I feel like, he might just let you figure out what he means on your own terms instead of explaining it?
Now, my concern is with where his Venus and Saturn is placed. Saturn is placed uncomfortably in the eighth house in Pushya🥛 and Venus is in the twelfth house in Anuradha 🪷
With his moon, Saturn can affect his mental state and even push certain restrictions or loss. Depression is associated with Saturn, so those kind of losses that affect mental or even physical rest may need to be checked with. Mars also as a malefic, would certainly play a role if he continues to push through things instead of taking necessary breaks. The lesson is to learn to be more sustainably functioning and not go on auto-pilot crazy mode of flow please!!! 🙏🏽 But no seriously I get it tho 😏
So Revati 🐟 in that fourth house, because if not physically, mentally stop pushing for the search of greatness— loose out on some opportunities to slowly enjoy the ride. Do not rush it.
So now onto Venus… his Venus is in Anuradha 🪷 and with Anuradha 🪷 in the twelfth house of the chamber of secrets, bed activity, isolation, maybe even life/death experiences, long-distance traveling, etc.
He is the type that needs to sleep. So sleep 😴 The best inspiration for art comes to him during his sleep. And Venus being a creative, feminine planet means that through his dreams he truly can find connections to the meaning behind his art and passions.
Those nosy about his love life 🙄tune in here 😒
Also because Venus is the planetary association to finding love (especially for hetero men) advice is to make sure these dealings are kept private and confidential please 😉 I do not think it would be wise to bring up his partner to the forefront, and of course being in the sign of Anuradha 🪷 James is the type of man to be devotional and extremely kind/loving to his partner. The type to be attentive of their needs but also to not push things onto them. The type to be there, acts of service and comfort them silently, yet be present with his partner when they rely on him.
However there might be a bigger distance between them. Partner could be a foreigner, no telling as to who really, but possible and could be well within his social circle (Mercury lords his seventh house and resides in the eleventh house, aspecting Venus along with Jupiter). So maybe already known to him? I have no clue 🧐🤔
So for the eight people who voted here is my interpretation of James/Zhao Yufan through Vedic Astrology. It is not through by any means as I am learning more, so I may come back and rework on this in the near future.
So please comment and let me know if there are other things you noticed too. I’m curious about what you all have to say! Thank you 🙏🏽
As for my Disney Princess 👑 Nakshatra analysis series, I only have Snow White down but I will try to get that one posted by the next Sunday 🥲
