Astrology chart James Dean

ARTIST OR BEAUTY

James Dean was an actor. Here is the artistic pattern: Venus rules the Ascendant and is trine Neptune and conjunct Sun/Moon. Moon is trine Midheaven in Cancer. Mercury was unaspected to show the importance of communications. It is not a very strong pattern, but that is compensated by the fact that he has Venus in the cool sign Capricorn, just like other famous and handsome guys. Read more about that in my post on Astropost.blogspot.com...http://astropost.blogspot.com/2008/09/male-attraction-venus-saturn-taurus-and.html with Justin Timberlake and Brad Pitt as examples.

DISPROPORTIONAL NEED TO BE LIVING THE RISKY WAY

James Dean had Sun inconjunct Pluto and Moon inconjunct Uranus. He needed tension and sensation (but...had little experience) and he was disproportionally living on the edge. So he crashed. But let us read his chart step by step.

a. Calling Mars (related to ASC/MC)

b. Calling SunJupiter on top

c. Moon ruler 10 in mutual reception with PlutoUranus crucial on the Descendant

There you have all of the ingredients for the adventure of his life.The success (Sun, Mars and Jupiter; Sun Jupiter Pluto) and the accident (Mars Uranus Pluto).

SUN, MOON, URANUS, PLUTO
Notice that the Sun in Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and the Moon in Scorpio by Pluto and that the ruler of Moon is inconjunct Sun and the ruler of Sun is inconjunct Moon. Uranus-Pluto combinations describe being impulsive and having to deal with the consequences. Unexpected dramatic challenges might come your way with this combination. And see how two of the inconjunctions (one of Moon with Uranus, one of Sun with Pluto) complete the picture.

INCONJUNCTIONS
Inconjunctions show the possibility of misbalance and losts. Moon inconjunct Uranus reflects the need for sensation and tension in a disproportional way. Sun inconjunct Pluto reflects the will to live life the intense way, but with no balance. There are even more indications, like Mars related to Uranus/ASC and Uranus/MC. And there is a third inconjunction (Venus ruler 1 inconjunct Mars*). But let us see what astrological conditions there were on the day that he died.

DYING DAY

On September 30, 1955 he died. There were several risky aspects at the same time:

1. Uranus was conjunct natal Mars (the combination of accidents).

2. Uranus was conjunct his progressed Midheaven (a shock).

3. Neptune was conjunct his progressed Ascendant (weakness, neglect).

4. Neptune square his progressed Mars (perhaps he was mistaken or confused).

5. Neptune square natal Mercury (for miscommunications or misunderstanding).

6. Saturn was square natal Sun (for having bad luck).

Those are six hard aspects producing dangerous combinations. Neptune is telling us about the circumstances. Neptune is in aspect with Mars and Ascendant for a fatal (Neptune) injury (Mars-ASC). Uranus with Mars/MC is reflecting the situation or conditions at the time (high speed, going too fast). And Saturn shows what effect there was for his health.

*) Venus inconjunct Mars reflects disproportional passion or losts related to passion. Venus rules the Ascendant (is ruler 1). That is a potential danger, since it says 'Ruler 1 inconjunct Mars' and that means 'misbalance between situations/presentations and anger, agression or 'the concept of what a man is'. Without trying to be a psychologer, I think this might be the key to his 'angry young man' behaviour.

Astrology chart Luis Buñuel

Luis Buñuel was a director. Neptune is on his ascendant, reflecting arts and movies. The Sun was conjunct his Midheaven for directing (and being in the center of it all, performing). The pattern of artistic talents is constructed by Neptune (ruler Midheaven) related to Moon and Venus by minor aspects. The importance of interaction between communications and arts/sensitivity is being reflected by the mutual reception of Mercury and Neptune (they are in each other's sign). Luis Buñuel was born on 22 February 1900 in Calanda at 12:15 GMT with Neptune 157.5 degrees from Sun/Moon for the reigning need to be an artist.

ATHEISM

Central theme in the movies was atheism. Jupiter's tight semi square with the important Neptune is telling us that 'the devoted audience' was an important issue in his life. Jupiter-Neptune is related to stages and religion...His Sun is in Pisces and Moon in Sagittarius, reflecting the combination of the rules of their signs (Neptune and Jupiter) for another indication of the influence of religious convictions.Also, in the equal house system the Sun is placed in the ninth house of convictions. That explains the importance of religion but not the aversion against it.

SUN SQUARE MOON

The Sun is square the Moon and that is (part of) the explanation. The Moon is in the 6th house in Sagittarius. There is a strong need to be critical as well as a spiritual conviction of importance (Sun in Pisces in 9th equal house). And the two of them colide (square). As he became a marxist while he was born in a rich family, this conflict included a conflict with the family.

Astrology chart Jeanne Moreau

Actress Jeanne Moreau has some interesting placements in her natal chart. She has Moon conjunct Mercury on top, reflecting the need to communicate above all. This conjunction shows curiosity and 'keeping memories alive' (Moon) together with (conjunction) communicating (Mercury). The Moon is also semi square Venus for sense of style and beauty.

Venus and Neptune are trine, but it is a wide trine. Both Venus and Neptune don't make a major aspect within 5 degrees. They are 'calling' (extra strong). This means that there is a vocation for arts (Venus-Neptune) at any kind of level. Neptune is more important than Venus is, as Neptune is on a crucial spot (square Ascendant). Neptune is the symbol of the movies. And Neptune is in aspect with Midheaven. Neptune is biquintile Midheaven. The biquintile symbolizes creativity.

Jeanne Moreau has the pattern of artistic talents in her chart and this pattern is constructed by the importance of Venus and Neptune, by the Moon on top conjunct Mercury and by Neptune biquintile MC and (wide) trine Venus with Venus semi square Moon.

Astrology chart Maria Callas

It is the unique voice that made Maria Callas a star. Venus quintile Uranus promisses creative sense of rhythm and the Sun on the Ascendant (conjunct Antares): fame. Venus is connected to Midheaven conjunct Moon. Neptune is semi quintile Midheaven. There is a pattern of artistic talent in her chart. But when we read the chart at first sight, we see an entertainer, an international star in the first place. The Sun (the star) is on her Ascendant, reflecting that she drew attention and was in the center of it all (performing, dramatic presentations). Jupiter (the international) is rising before the Sun. With the Moon in top emotions were important in her style.

There is a article on Astropost about her relationship with Aristoteles Onassis.

Astrology chart of Mata Hari

Was Mata Hari a dangerous spy? We will only know in 2017, when the files are openend. But we are sure that she could dance and act. And that talent is shown in her natal chart, like this:
- Moon in the artistic sign Pisces
- Venus in the sign of the actor, Cancer
- Venus semi sqaure Sun/Moon (for charm and talent in heart and sould)
- Neptune on an angle (for prominent empathy)
- Neptune half semi square Sun/Moon (together with Venus semi square: the artist in heart and soul)

Pluto rises before the Sun. Together with Neptune Pluto shapes the Astro I.D. The planets are important (ruling Moon and Ascendant) and another indication for the 'silent force' (the issue of discretion, secrets and mysteries) is the fact that the Sun is square Neptune/Pluto. In those days (the first World War) oriental dances and vales were seen as highly mysterious...and suspicious. Mata Hari died as a spy. You can read more about that on Astropost.

Astrology chart Rihanna and Chris Brown

The pattern of artistic talent is clearly visibile in the astrology chart of the positions of the day of birth of Rihanna (February 20, 1988 in Saint Michael Barbados). This pattern is created by Moon, Venus and Neptune. In her chart Neptune is the first outer planet to rise before the Sun and that is reflecting an not materialistic (idealistic or romantic) orientation (such as artists have). The Moon is conjunct Venus for sense of style and beauty. Both are square Neptune (for sensitivity and artistic talent). And watch Mercury sextile Venus for the beautiful voice.

Unfortunately there are also indications for the importance of the theme of violence in her life. Observations: Mars is semi square Pluto and close to Saturn and Uranus. Look at the importance of Saturn conjunct Uranus (square Aries Point), both sextile Sun. Breaking free and limitations of freedom are to be important in her life.

Mars with Pluto reflects the issue of using or abusing violence (sometimes as a victim). Mars is also 105 degrees from Venus (for passion). Pluto is inconjunct Venus for the disproportional price she has to pay for love and fun and for earning money.. Venus and Mars related to Pluto tell us that passion is a problem.

Chris Brown (born 5th May 1989 in Tappahannock) has Moon and Venus close together in Taurus and just like Rihanna an oriental Neptune. His Pluto is square her Mercury and ...inconjunct her Pluto. So he is the price she pays. Or better said: men of her own years are to be avoided.
Also, his Mars is semi square Venus/Pluto (remember? her Pluto is connected to Venus and Mars, too. It means intense passion). Pluto always intensifies and sometimes makes life a drama.

There is another violent item that they share. Chris Brown's Mars is opposition Uranus for the short tempered guy. Rihanna has an out of sign conjunction of Mars and Uranus.

Conclusion: the violence in this relationship is reflected by the astrological birth data.

Astrology chart Celine Dion

Void Moons are supposed to be bad moons*), but good and talented persons can have them. For example: Celine Dion. She is the vivid proof that the Moon in the final degree of a sign is a Moon rushing into the next sign. She was only 12 when her career started and she rushed to the world stages like her Moon in Aries rushed to Taurus**).

She was born in Charlemagne, Canada, on March 30, 1968 at 12h15 p.m. This moment and place places her Sun close to Midheaven and Mars (ruler Midheaven) exactly square ASCendant, opposition Ceres. Ceres has an important place in her chart. Ceres is the symbol of mother nature, nutrition, roots, genes and seed (the things related to females and nature). Celin Dion is not only a singer. She is also an entrepeneur. She established a franchise restaturant 'Nickels', in 1990. Now she has a perfume line. BTW, business: that is Saturn. Saturn is also the classical way in art.

SATURN
Saturn is EXACTLY conjunct her Midheaven. Often Saturn on MC reflects a break in the career (or a sudden end). Celine Dion stopped for two years to support her ill husband and to have a baby. I wondered if she will ever sing classical songs, as Saturn seems to reflect the classical way. And yes, I find that she wants to play the role of her idol Maria Callas in a movie (so I added 'actors' on the labels). Rumours say that she will sing with the Montreal Symphonic Orchestra! Anyway, Celine Dion sang about Maria Callas (La diva) on her album d'Elles. She is really a fan of the late soprano.

Now I found a business woman, someone working with food and feminine things, but I did not find the artist yet. Where is the artist in this chart?

JUPITER&NEPTUNE
The tightest aspect is Jupiter square Neptune; that is a good sign if you want to have listeners, fans and followers (and an indication for having a religious or idealistic conviciton). The Sun (conjunct Saturn and Midheaven) is opposition Jupiter/Neptune, so the Sun is the apex in a midpoint yod of Sun=Jupiter/Neptune. Jupiter is as far away from the Sun as Neptune is (sesquisquare). The light of the Sun says that she is performing or leading an audience. And Mars is also in aspect with Jupiter/Neptune and Sun (22.5 degrees, half semi square).

NO AIR
There is no placement in air signs and that is a good sign for communications at any possible level. It draws attention to Mercury (the planet of communications). Mercury is in the artistic sign Pisces (ruled by Neptune) and tightly conjunct Venus, planet of beauty and talents.

THE ARTISTIC PATTERN
1. Venus is in Pisces and that is a good sign for an artist.

2. Neptune is the oriental planet (the first outer planet rising before the Sun) and that is a good sign for an artist, too.

3. Neptune is square Jupiter, ruler of the 5th equal house and Neptune is in the 5th house. The 5th house is the house of (pro-)creation and performance (plays and games).

4. The Moon is on the edge of Aries, rushing into Taurus*). Maybe that is a sign for an artist as well.

5. The Moon is 15 degrees from Midheaven and 40 degrees (a novile) from Venus.

6. Venus is 112.5 degrees (square and half semi square) from Neptune

So there we are: there is a pattern shaped by minor aspect lines between Moon, Neptune and Venus (in Pisces). This reflects latent artistic talents to be discovered.And there was a person who discovered it. Her mum.

SUCCESSES AND PROGRESSIONS
And that is not all of it, of course. It takes indications for great world wide successes to be the chart of Celine Dion. And helpfull progressions or the right circumstances. This blog is about the artistic pattern only. So I won't go into the relationship with her manager and later husband. But I like to point at the over 17 midpoint combinations for succes in the 22.5 range, such as Jupiter 112.5 Venus/Pluto and sesquisquare Sun/Midheaven. The Sun is sesquisquare Jupiter and 160 degrees (4 times a novile) from Pluto.
(Just one PS: her progressed chart held Jupiter ruler 5 on the Ascendant when her son born.)

**) I like that expression coming from Noel Tyl 'rushing into the next house' and I strongly feel that the final degrees of a sign are reflecting (periods of) change.
