Astrology chart Steven Spielberg

Neptune is exactly square the Ascendant and ruling the Midheaven in the chart of director Steven A. Spielberg and Neptune is the symbol of the movies (things you see that are not really there). Venus is trine Midheaven and ruling Neptune. The Sun does not make any aspect in sign or orb 5 degrees. Jupiter is rising before the Sun. How to read that? Like this, for example:

...he has a profession in the immaterial (amorphous) field of religion, fantasy, art or helping people. Fantasy is of crucial importance. There is also internationalism (travelling involved). And the possibility of heaving a believing and devoted audience (fans, followers: Jupiter and Neptune are both important).
The profession is related to style and estetics (Venus). And he wants to be the one drawing attention, leading and directing. Sagittarius (his Sun sign) symbolizes 'knowing better' and guiding.

Steven Spielberg is not acting or shaping material creativity. But you can see that sense of art is needed in his career by the minor and major aspects that the Moon, Venus and Neptune are making with the Midheaven (sesquisquare, trine and binovile). The position that he has (Midheaven) is related to the artistic pattern. The Moon in the 5th house, ruling the ASC indicates that he has a desire to be 'playing' or to be working in the field of entertainment and show, performing.

This is the chart. Notice that Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Neptune are prominent. Combinations of those four are Moon/Venus with Jupiter/Neptune (sense of art + fans) or the successful artistic pattern...Like in all the chart of famous persons with artistic talents on this blog.

Astrology chart Marc Chagall

In the charts of the artists on this blog Art & Astrology you will often find the Moon and/or Venus in Pisces, Taurus, Libra or Cancer and connections between Moon, Venus and Neptune.

Astrology chart Alice Cooper

This blog is about the artistic pattern in natal charts of famous artists. The pattern is formed by Moon, Venus and Neptune (sometimes also Uranus) and linked to the Midheaven.

This pattern of artistic talent is clearly visible in the chart of Alice Cooper. Look at Neptune on the Ascendant, a prominent and crucial position for the planet of imagination, ideas, empathy and sensitivity, in aspect with the Midheaven. There is another meaning of Neptune on the Ascendant: hiding (yourself or secrets, yours or those of patients, for example). Alice Cooper is not a real name. Alice Cooper was born with the name of Vincent Furnier. And Alice Cooper, as you may see on the picture, loves disguise.

Jupiter, the international, is rising before the Sun and conjunct the Moon. Moon and Jupiter are connected to Venus and Uranus. Moon square Venus indicates sense of style and beauty. Venus in aspect with Uranus is fortunate for sense of rhythm and loving hectic situations. The most prominent positions in this chart are for Jupiter and Neptune, the combination of the fans and the devoted audience.

Astrology chart Eartha Kitt

Eartha Kitt died yesterday. She was an American singer, who left the States after she offended Lady Bird Johnson and was not invited on stage anymore. That was in or around 1968, when she had progressed Sun square Saturn (for making a mistake) and later conjunct Jupiter (for the international...). In her natal chart Saturn is important. This planet is on the Ascendant, rising before the Sun and making a septile aspect with the Sun, so that any mistake would have a lot of impact.

The singer in her chart is reflected by the position of Venus in Aquarius (for sense of rhythm, confirmed by the semi square of Venus with Uranus). Venus is quindecile Neptune, the most elevated planet in her chart. One of the meanings of Neptune is 'the artist' (fantasy, empathy and vision). This combination means that she is above all an artistic talented person with sense of rhythm.

The Moon is strong in Cancer and there is a distance of 160 degrees between Moon and Venus. In the ninth harmonic her Moon is conjunct her Venus. Venus is related to the Moon and Neptune, by minor aspects and Neptune is on top of her chart. That shows the artistic pattern, like in all of the charts of artists on this blog.

Astrology chart Harold Pinter

Harold Pinter died yesterday. He was a famous writer, actor, poet and director. Directors need an important Sun in their charts to lead the play in their direction. Harold Pinter had the Sun on top of the chart, square Ascendant and in Libra, ruled by Venus (planet of esthetics and style). The chart of Harold Pinter shows various talents, and he used all of them.

MERCURY FOR THE MESSENGER, VENUS FOR THE TALENT
In his chart Mercury (symbol of the messenger and the author) is important. Mercury is opposition Aries Point and rising before the Sun. Mercury rules the 5th house of plays and entertainment. And Mercury is tightly sextile Venus, the symbol of style and refinement. This aspect tells us that he had a talent (Venus) for communications (Mercury).

ARTIST
The pattern of the artist in the chart: Moon in Taurus (ruled by Venus and opposition Midheaven) 105 degrees from Neptune. It also can be found in the positions of Sun and Moon in signs ruled by Venus and in the position of Neptune.

The artist in the chart is in the elevated Sun in Libra, conjunct the midpoint Venus/Neptune and half semi square Venus/Jupiter and Venus/Pluto.

Also see the semi square of Jupiter and Neptune (for the devoted audience). Jupiter and Neptune are both in aspect with the Midheaven.

ACTING
Sense of art is demonstrated by the Moon in Taurus, on a crucial angular spot in the chart. The Moon is the symbol of acting (of keeping memories alive and of 'pretending').

SUCCESSES IN THE FIELD
The successes as an artist are reflected by:
Jupiter trine Midheaven
Jupiter sesquisemisquare Venus/Pluto
Venus sesquisemisquare Jupiter/Midheaven
ASC 112.5 degrees from Venus/Jupiter and Venus/Pluto
Mercury sesquisemisquare Mars/Jupiter and Jupiter/Pluto
Jupiter is related to Sun/Neptune and Sun/Pluto
and more...

The chart of Harold Pinter does not point at one strong direction only. The various ways that he showed his talents to the world go together with various indications in the chart. All together they indicate that on his day and hour of birth it was time for the birth of a man who had talents for communications, who could draw attention, who could 'pretend' or 'act' and who could make a success of it, either way helped by the prominence of Jupiter (symbol of progress), close to the Descendant and trine the Midheaven.
