Natal chart of Louis de Funès

Fun: that is part of the name of Louis de Funès, an actor who gave me a lot of pleasure when I was young, especially when he acted as a hot tempered police inspector. Here is his chart:

The Moon has a key role in the pattern of artistic talent. The Moon is sextile Venus, square Midheaven and 112.5 degrees Neptune in Cancer (ruled by Moon and rising before the Sun). An aspect of 112.5 degree is a square + half semi square.

Lady Gaga's chart?

Lady Gaga is no ordinary person. Maybe that is why her chart doesn't follow the 'ordinary' path and pattern to show artistic talent? Here is the chart, found on Astrotheme.fr with no mention of source for the very specific time of birth. Is it perhaps a guess chart?

The important angular Mars at the Descendant is 'calling' shows how driven and active she is. She is the typical 'workaholic'. Scorpio Moon mirrors a strong personality. The Sun is 105 d Uranus. Her Venus is trine Uranus. There is a wide square between her Sun and Mars! at Descendant. She is rather independent and loves surprises and falling in love (Venus-Uranus). Venus-Uranus also gives her artistic aspirations and sense of rhythm. Many pop singers have a Venus-Uranus aspect.

The usual pattern of aspects of Moon, Venus and Neptune, related to Midheaven, is missing. This chart has Sun/Moon square Venus and that means that art, entertainment, fun and love motivate her. Instead of the missing pattern, she has Moon/Neptune sesquisquare Venus and Sun/Moon. Pisces Midheaven is sextile Neptune.

How to relate her success to her natal chart? There is:
- Jupiter rising before the Sun for the positive and self assured international
- Vesta conjunct Midheaven helps her to focus on her career (just like Mars!)
- Moon trine Jupiter is a rather fortunate aspect. This Moon is also conjunct Pluto. The combination of Moon, Jupiter and Pluto increases popularity. Jupiter-Pluto aspect and midpoint combination help you to earn money and be 'valued'. See: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2011/05/jupiterpluto-midpoint-and-aspect.html 

As soon as there is an AA rated chart of Lady Gaga, I'll be back on the subject.

Chart of Doris Day

Doris Day was very popular. You can see that in her chart for April 3, 1922. The tightest major aspects are:

Sun opposition Jupiter

Sun trine Neptune (almost exact!)

Jupiter sextile Neptune

That is the combination of the devoted audience.  She was worshipped by her fans! But where is the actrice in the chart?

We see that the Moon is in tight aspect with Venus (sextile) and Neptune (semi square) and with Midheaven (conjunction). That is a complete pattern of talent. With Venus inconjunct Ascendant style, sympathy or beauty came her way. The Sun quintile Midheaven made her creative in drawing attention. And Mercury, opposition Ascendant and square Midheaven tells us that communications are of importance. And how about that elevated Moon in Gemini, square Ascendant, keeping her 'forever young' in the eyes of the public? 

She was a singer and an actrice but she was also an activist for animal rights. And that is very Sun trine Neptune! See Astropost about Sun trine Neptune, dogs, rescues and Presley, for example.

BTW 

Doris Day married a couple of times. Venus in Aries semi square Uranus and quintile Pluto tell us about exciting loves at first sight and impulsive relationships. 

Fanny Brice's day of birth

Fanny Brice (stage name of Fania Borach) is hot on Google since One Night with Fanny Brice, a one-woman show about Brice, premiered in New Jersey. Her hour of birth is unknown, but how about the artist in the positions of the day of her birth (October 29, 1891 in New York City)? The pattern of artistic talent contains aspects between Moon, Venus and Neptune added with Taurus, Pisces, Libra and Cancer and completed with Midheaven (Midheaven requires an hour of birth). The pattern is clearly there in the chart of the day of birth of Fanny Brice.
We see a Libra Moon, possibly semi square Venus and Venus 157.5 (sesquisquare + half semi square) Neptune. Fifty percent of her positions are in water signs (empathy, emotions). And Mercury is inconjunct Neptune. That is for 'telling tales' (great tool for actors).

Fanny married and divorced three times. Sun semi sextile Mars and conjunct Uranus are two of the four indications for divorce in a woman's chart. Mars in Libra is not a very fortunate position to keep peace in partnerships, either. But the Moon in Libra just needs to have company and be together, and that is why she kept on trying. Notice the aspect of the Sun inconjunct Pholus: that is a statement for shooting your own foot more than once and for unbalancing turning points in life.Here is the chart of her birthday:



She died at age 59 (cerebral hemorrhage). A number of progressions and transits accompanied this event. Now that her name is a hot topic again we see the 'come back aspect' in her progressed chart: Sun square Pluto.
