Chart of Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman's chart is here to show you the pattern of professional artistic talent and to let you know that her progressed Sun is conjunct the Midheaven of Grace Kelly, now that she will act as Princess Gracia in a next movie. They have the same Ascendant Scorpio.

The pattern of artistic talent in the chart of Nicole Kidman is:

Moon trine Venus
Moon half semi square Neptune
(And Venus 97.5 Neptune).
Sun is calling! (drawing attention at any possible level)
Sun is biquintile Neptune for a creative fantasy
Moon in the 2nd house feels the need to show off in a professional way
And what more do you need? Success? Jupiter is also 'calling'! With Sun and Jupiter prominent there is a lot of self confidence.

Chart of Barry Humphries (Dame Edna)

Perez Hilton recently interviewed Barry Humphries, better know as Dame Edna, who announced to sort of retire a bit after the shows of this summer. And Mars is opposition Neptune, just like in Barry Humphries' chart. So time to have a look how the chart shows that he is in show bizz (he is a comedian, artist, author and character actor). Here is the chart and what do we get? I’ll show you where the talent, motivation, vocation and ambition is.

TALENT

First there is the usual pattern of artistic talent: Moon sextile Venus and trine Midheaven; Venus inconjunct Neptune, Moon 157.5 (sesquisquare + half semi square) Neptune. These aspects connect to construct the pattern of artistic professional talent. Moon, Venus, Neptune (and Midheaven) aren’t in the signs ruled by them (Cancer, Taurus, Libra and Pisces). Sun/Moon is in artistic Pisces, conjunct Mercury and Pallas in Pisces. And maybe I should include the minor aspects of Midheaven with Venus (68.7 a wider semi sesquisquare) and Neptune (binovile) to complete the picture of an artistic career.

MOTIVATION

That means that he is being motivated to be a messenger (communicating, writing, talking). Mercury is in Pisces and that makes it easy to tell tales.

VENUS CALLING!

Fun, that is Venus. I am happy to see that  Venus in his chart doesn’t make major aspects in sign or within an orb of 5 degrees. That is what I name a ‘calling’ Venus. People with a calling Venus have a sort of a vocation for what is beautiful, charming, diplomatic, nice or …fun! So now we have the chart of an ambitious person with artistic talent who wants to entertain at any possible level, somehow, anyhow! 

DAME EDNA and SEDNA?

Barry is a comedian and Dame Edna is part of the comedy. Aquarius is frequent in the charts of comedians and Barry is an Aquarian. Uranus biquintile Midheaven is reflecting the creative ‘shock’ for the public. Purple hair IS a shock!:) Dressing up like a lady is always shocking or fun (depending on who watches it). Uranus is the recipe for controversy. But I also like to point at Sedna biquintile Neptune ruler Ascendant and the artist name resembling Sedna: Edna. (Mercury is in Pisces now that I write this blog post and conjunct my Node, sorry, but than you start seeing what rhymes!:)

VITALITY

Barry Humphries is still working at age 78 and that is rather special. The Aquarian Sun in aspect with Jupiter and Uranus (and Jupiter in aspect with Uranus) there is some understanding why: Humphries’ chart has some of the positions of those who reach a more than average age (see Astromarkt: age and astrology). He didn’t do much for it. I read that he did what he had to do as a Mars (in the 1^st house) opposition Neptune  (in the 7^th house!*) person in the 60s: he drank a lot and that ruined his first marriage.

DIVORCES

He married 4 times and his chart has all of the indications for it: Mars semi square Uranus, Venus inconjunct Neptune, Moon semi square Saturn and 157.5 Neptune. Those are all of the 4 possible signs of divorce in a males’ chart! Gender neutral is the opposition between ruler 1 and 7 in this chart. Yes, Barry Humphries’ chart got what it takes to get divorced.

SATURN

Barry Humphries’ chart shows that he is ambitious (Saturn rises before the Sun) and that his parents were important for who he became later (but not by following into their footsteps,, but by taking another road). It is interesting that his father was a construction (Saturn!) manager (Saturn!). Another way to express Saturn’s prominence is of course: getting old. And maybe (but I’m just guessing) he is much more serious in what he does than we expect a comedian to be.

They say that there is humor in Capricorn and Saturn.

TRANSIT SATURN ENDS

Right now Transit Neptune is semi square the midpoint of natal Asc/MC. That is often an indication for a moment of retirement. Mind if I point at transit Saturn trine the Sun and square Progressed Midheaven in September? Saturn ends, just like this story.

Chart of Kurt Cobain

It is Pisces time, time to add the chart of Kurt Cobain to the number of chats of artists, musicians, actors and directors etc. etc. on this blog. A complete study of the transits and progressions at vital moments of change in the life of Kurt Cobain has now been published on Astromarkt. Here you see the natal chart with transits and progressions for his birthday in 1991, when he started to become more famous than he wanted.

As it is Mercury retrograde today, the picture refuses to be as clear as it is on Astromarkt:). So if you want to have a better view, go there. But for those interested in the pattern of artistic talent: it is there!
Moon in Cancer, Venus in Pisces, Moon 108 degree minor aspect with Venus, Venus trine Neptune, Neptune 157.5 degree minor aspect with MC, Neptune rising before the Sun.

The talented chart of Jon Bon Jovi

Today is the birthday of Jon Bon Jovi and it surprised me that I hadn’t added his chart to Art-astrology.blogspot.com before. In the 90's I always had Bon Jovi on when I was cleaning the house (yes, the music helps you to keep the faith with any job!). So here it is:

Artists (professionals) always have the pattern of artistic talent in their chart. You know: the signs ruled by Moon, Venus and Neptune (Cancer, Libra, Taurus and Pisces) on the angles or with placementes of the Moon, Venus and/or Midheaven, and... the Moon, Venus and Neptune related to Midheaven.

Jon Bon Jovi has it, too. Notice:

Venus in Pisces

Cancer Midheaven

Libra Ascendant

Moon sextile Venus and quintile Neptune

Venus exactly trine Midheaven

Moon opposition Midheaven

What more can I say? Just listen to the music:

Chart of Bill Cosby

This is the natal chart of Bill Cosby, a talented actor (and comedian, author, television producer, educator, musician and activist).  We can see that he works in an artistic profession. The Moon (trine), Venus (biquintile) and Neptune (trine) are in aspect with Midheaven. That links the career to talent. Venus/Neptune midpoint is semi square the Moon. And Pallas is elevated with Jupiter: he is the positive role model. Even the importance of home and family life - the main subject of everything that he does - can be found. Sun/Moon midpoint is conjunct Vesta (keeper of the fire place) and AC/MC midpoint is opposition Vesta and Sun/Moon. Vesta is in the fifth house of show and entertainment to show us that his performances are about what is ‘domestic’.

We could stop here: a positive artistic role model of family life, but there is more, like the well aspected Uranus rising before the Sun and Venus and trine Midheaven (independence) or the opposition of Mercury and Pallas (a pattern of communications).

Maybe it is good to have a look at Venus sextile Saturn (ruler MC), because he does one man shows. In Dutch comedians are part of ‘kleinkunst’ (small art, literally). It is not meant as an insult! It means: performing art for entertainment. Venus is the symbol of entertainment and artists. Saturn is the symbol of 'small'. Venus-Saturn combinations often appear in the charts of similar kind of artists. Venus’ biquintile with Midheaven again shows a creative way to entertain the public.

If this was not the chart of Bill Cosby, but of any other man, it would be the chart of an optimist, a positive person, an international above all with an independent view. Jupiter and Uranus are prominent in this chart. They symbolize the helicopter view and the inventive mind. I also like Mercury quintile Uranus (a creative way of saying controversial or new things ....or creating new ideas and words). 

And what’s that Quaoar doing, inconjunct his Ascendant? Maybe creating a new perspective (but a little ‘overdone’:)? 

Perhaps there is more to mention, like the combination of Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto for the successful communications. But I stop here. A positive role model, motivated by the family and working with talent, creatively entertaining the public...that is how one can work with the possibilities of this natal chart. It can even be 'done' shorter: he has the capability (biquintile) to enjoy (Venus) the public (MC) and make people laugh. 

When he started his career in entertainment, transit Pholus and transit Jupiter were opposition his progressed Sun. He was at a positive turning point in life! That was 50 years ago and he's still working!
