Let's try something new for Valentine's Day as the Moon trines Uranus.
Synastry is the art of relationship astrology. We take one person's chart, which is a picture of the sky when they drew their first breath (ie their road map, contract, lesson plan, dharma), and compare it to another person's chart.
What aspects are the planets and points forming with each other? Are they smooth or jaggedy? How tight are they? What planets are in what houses? What signs/elements? How do these two people FIT?
For example, let's say my Sun was in your 10th house, you might, because the 10th house is the top of your chart, look up to me. You might see me as an authority or think I could help you get 'to the top' or maybe just see me as an annoying father figure/a serious, old NAG.
And, of course, if my Sun were in aspect to one of your personal planets that would impact things, too, as well as the signs involved. This isn't cookie cutter astrology and A doesn't always get you to B.
Astrology is always best when it is COMPLICATED. Unless, of course, we over-complicate it, then it becomes useless. It's a fine line. AND, we might cross it because that's how fine lines work and why I always make my lines with those thick, smelly black markers.
BLAKE AND RYAN (and Justin) - I asked a friend who is more into pop culture which charts I should look at and immediately she recommended Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
They are a married movie star/actor couple who are involved in a sexual harassment lawsuit with Lively's recent co-star Justin Baldoni. I am slightly familiar with Reynolds from something I can't remember and slightly familiar with Colleen Hoover, the author of the book that the movie was based on, "It Ends With Us". That title guys?!
We will start with Lively - and her chart is. I love that last name and hope it's real. She has a seriously tight first house stellium in early Virgo (an EXACT almost to the second Mars/Sun, oh my) with Leo rising and LOOK at all these 'brakes off' trines (although Astrodienst uses much wider margins than I do) - something happens with her/for her/by her/to her and then it JUST KEEPS HAPPENING. With all those first house planets this could be an arrogant chart. Self-absorbed. She could also accomplish great things with it, and maybe she will, if she takes the focus off herself and puts it on the other/a cause/a group - that 7th house Aquarius. And it looks like her whole 'fall from grace' thing with the public started when she was in a movie about "us" (with a serious domestic violence theme) and turned the press interviews into the story of Blake.
If we look at Reynold's chart we can see his wife's stellium lands in his empty 12th house. Filling a very old hole. There are likely past life connections to her or what she represents and her stellium is sextiling his own complicated stellium in intense Scorpio. Reynolds is an Eclipse baby with the North Node EXACT on his Moon and conjunct Uranus and Mars. This guy is intense/no joke although it seems he is often joking. I wonder if his jokes fall flat? Can be unpredictable, probably controlling. Powerful/gets noticed. Second house stelliums are tricky. Finances and possessions can rule your life. This is all sitting right on the bottom of Lively's chart and conjunct her own intense Pluto, so he could feel like he owns her, too, and she will feel everything he is feeling! They would be all tangled up. Very intimately enmeshed with each other.
Yes, a power couple.
Her natal Jupiter, at 29 degrees Aries is EXACT on his natal Chiron and inconjunct his own Jupiter and that one is exact, too. An 8th house Chiron in Aries (Reynolds) is a deep intimacy wound. Shared projects and sex and finances would be very triggering if challenged. It would be hard for him to be vulnerable. He definitely feels his wound through his wife, but she would also make him more hopeful and optimistic. Her Jupiter rules her 5th house of children (and creative projects) and they have four. Her Moon is his Ceres. He would want her to be the mother of his children/maybe expect her to lay down her life for them or go scorched earth to protect them. Creative projects can feel like children, too, so maybe this movie begins to feel like this to them. Theirs isn't a Hollywood superficial connection, but there is alot of ego and old pain here.
And stelliums are energy clusters just lying in wait for the right transiting energy, ie planet, to come along and then EVERYTHING is going right or EVERYTHING is going wrong.
If we pop in this Baldoni guy, let's see what we get.
Another INTENSE chart. No wonder this whole thing has blown up plus Baldoni has his North Node of destiny right on the top of his chart, in Gemini, the sign of the media! Public conversation, especially the kind that is two-fold - going in two directions at once or dividing people in two - is something he is destined to get.
He has a Pluto/Moon/Mars/Saturn bundle in intense Scorpio AND he has a Neptune/Venus/Jupiter bundle in Sag/Cappy, so all the malefics bundled together and all the benefics bundled together. His Mars, is EXACT on Lively's Pluto, so power struggles would be likely and her Sun sits in his 6th house of day-to-day, so she would feel to him to be very involved in everything he was doing.
(I am a Scorpio rising with an Aquarius Sun and hubs is a Virgo rising, so my Sun sits in his 6th house. This worked well when I needed to be involved in the day-to-day for his business, but now that I don't, I found myself overly involved and hubs, also an Aquarius, didn't like it. So, just me saying, "what are you going to do today or what are you doing?", kind of makes him nuts. His Sun, also in Aquarius, sits in my 4th house, which worked out well for me when he wasn't home much - Aqua needing its freedom - but could always be counted on to take care of home matters when needed. Now that he IS home much, this has been challenging for me. It felt like he was invading my space, so we were both making similar adjustments at the same time.)
Baldoni's Sun sits in Lively's 12th house, so he could feel very much a mystery to her or like he is doing things behind her back. He could make her feel exposed and uncomfortable. Boundaries between them would be thin. He would be walking around in this space within her that she herself isn't familiar with, and they would have been working with this very sensitive and intimate subject matter. They probably needed a counselor/psychologist on set! There is also the whole 'self-undoing' thing connected to the 12th house and that certainly seems to be the case with Lively. Anyhoo, we need to move on to other charts, maybe we will look at the lawsuits and transits with those in another post. Do we care enough? I am not sure :) But maybe we do. It looks interesting.
TRUMP AND MUSK (and the United States) - these two appear such an unlikely combination and now seem super-glued together, so let's take a look at what is happening. We have talked about Trump's chart many times. Musk has a Mars/North Node of Fate in Aquarius (will he get to Mars? he just might! Note - Musk's conjunction here is conjunct Trump's natal Icarus of falling from the sky fame, so although some people would like to put Trump together on a rocket to Mars, I wouldn't recommend it). Musk has a successful and powerful Jupiter/Pluto exact sextile. 3rd and 5th houses - seems appropriate and accurate. And he's well known for cars/transportation and kids. Musk's ascendant is tightly conjunct the United States Sun and the United States Sun is EXACT on Musk's Mercury. AND Musk's Sun sits EXACTLY on the United States natal Jupiter.
If the United States were a person, the United States would LOOK like Elon Musk. He would be our avatar. He is our avatar. Whoa. We look a little odd, huh? I always imagined the United States as looking something like James Dean. But now that I look at Musk, I realize, yes, he is perfect.
Gangly. Detached. Flawed. Hopeful.
How is Musk doing? Is he sinking or swimming? I think I need to be looking at this. #notkidding.
For now, let's look at Musk and Trump. Trump has his powerful and chaotic Sun/Uranus/North Node tightly conjunct Musk's Venus in Gemini. So, this puts Musk's 12th house Venus in Trump's public 10th house. Musk's backstage magic/unlimited ability to attract what he needs brought into a house of POWER and reputation and authority. This means Trump's powerful and chaotic triple conjunction falls in Musk's 12th house. This is tricky territory. Is Trump a catalyst for Musk or a self-destruct button?
Musk's Cancer Sun - the one that is exactly conjunct the United States chart ruling Jupiter and remember the United States has been playing Jupiter in the world for a very long time - is in Trump's 11th house. This is good for lasting friendships. Shared and humanitarian goals. Musk's Sun is also conjunct Trump's Mercury. Musk's asteroid Fortuna is conjunct Trump's midheaven and Musk's Nike - yes, I am adding in 'winning' asteroids' because we are all hoping someone knows what the hell they are doing - sits right in between Trump's natal Jupiter/Chiron and Trump's natal Ixion (activated by exact degree at the Eclipse preceding the election) is tightly conjunct Musk's Uranus and Uranus rules Musk's NN/Mars ambitions. So, that Eclipse before the election that gave the golden king his second chance (Ixion via Trump) also activated Musk's Uranian/Aquarius energies. Musk and Trump's Chiron's almost exactly oppose each other. Their wounds are opposite sides of the same coin. Musk's Chiron is widely conjunct the U.S. Chiron and almost exactly opposes the United States Saturn.
Right around the 4th of July/U.S. birthday when Uranus is moving into Gemini and conjuncts Venus on Musk's Saturn, he will have the Sun on his IC/Mercury, Jupiter on his Sun, the Moon on his Jupiter, Mars on his Moon, Chiron on his mid-heaven. What the hell is going on with Musk here? And, even a couple months earlier looks big for him. And, of course, things are big now, or as anything connected with Trump, we should say BIGLY.
We will get to Catherine and William and Taylor and Travis in part II this weekend. I have had covid and it's really wiped out my energy this time and I still have orders to make today.
March looks truly life changing. We will get to that next week.
For now, it's Valentine's Day - a blessed time of year to appreciate the people who are in our life and the people who were in our life and those still to come in. The Moon is in earthy Virgo and WANTS TO FIX SOMETHING. She is sextiling Mars, opposing Saturn and trining Uranus. Avoid criticism and do something different.
The Moon will hit the South Node today just as the Sun inconjuncts it and they inconjunct each other. Something that we have been avoiding probably needs to be dealt with/fixed, so we can put it behind us. It could be something SMALL. So do it/finish it and get on with things.
I know I am putting covid behind me :)
hugs (virtually) and happy valentine's all - Cat :)
