Analysis of Asia Argento's astrological chart

The Predominant Planet Pluto

In Asia Argento's chart, it seems that, more than her solar sign or her the Ascendant, it is the planet Pluto which sets the tune. It must be acknowledged that the actress is a living proof that it is not always easy to be one of the happy few since early childhood.

As all cinephiles know, she is the daughter of a scandalous Italian director, Dario Argento. He got her into the swing of things when she was very young. At the age of 9, under his guidance, she participated in films with quite suggestive titles: Demons 2 or Trauma for instance.

Incidentally, she made a statement which speaks volumes about her approach to life. "I worked with my father because I wanted him to love me", she declared in an interview. This sentence is typical of a woman having the Ascendant in Libra, invariably prepared to bend over backwards to please. Submissive, constantly saying yes because she fears that she is not loved...

In her case indeed, the above-mentioned Pluto is conjunct the Descendant. As a result, there is some kind of violence in what her quite misleading appearance triggers. People think that she is a seductress like a praying mantis, whereas behind this image, she is probably a good girl, slightly secretive and shy, since her Sun is in Virgo in the 12th House.

In light of these first clues, we understand that the main difficulty in Argento's life stems from the impression she unwillingly gives. She continually suffers because she is not taken for what she actually is or, conversely, because she is taken for what she is not. With Pluto squaring (tense aspect) the Midheaven, this confusion affects her social destiny, particularly.

The Weinstein Affair

Besides, if her name has been in the news for several months, it is because she is one of the actresses who denounced Harvey Weinstein. As far as she is concerned, Argento claimed she has been raped by the American producer and then accepted an affair that she disliked, during a longer period, because she feared that he would jeopardise her career, as he threatened her to.

Getting back to Pluto, we also note that his prevailing role echoes the natal position of the North Node in Scorpio (a sign ruled by Pluto). Therefore, we have several signals hinting that the life path contains rather radical challenges consisting in power struggles and obligation to let go.

The Moon-sun Opposition and an Impulsive Mars

One of the aspects that must be analysed is Argento's Sun-Moon opposition. When the luminaries are involved in such a relationship, it means that the integration of the masculine and feminine archetypes is an issue.

Nothing is easy for this person who switches from periods when she wants to impose herself – but since the Sun is in Virgo, it will be through paying attention to detail or through criticisms – to moments when, on the contrary, she gives up because her Moon in Pisces gets the upper hand. In this case, to show her deep dedication, she puts aside her needs and caters to her partner's whims with some sort of masochism.

In addition, Mars throws oil on the fire and forms a double square to these key planets. Obviously, Argento, whose bisexuality is well-known, does not always feel very comfortable with males.

Splendid Venus

Although the comedian is not very advantaged by what we have seen in her "astrological menu", we observe that she has all the weapons required to cope with it.

Let us first mention the very valuable plutonian capacity to get back on the saddle. Those who believe that Argento is hit would be surprised by her ability to recover from the worst circumstances.

She can rely on a very positive Venus, ruler of the chart (ruler of the Libra Ascendant), posited in Leo, trine Jupiter and sextile Uranus. The planet of love and beauty was definitely smiling when Argento was born.

She is able to assert herself without complex. Her radical artistic choices are astonishing too, for example her decision to start directing, especially when her films received good reviews.

Furthermore, she made a name for herself when she tried her hand at sound mixing almost everywhere in the world. Indeed, music is one of the facets of this gorgeous Venus.

There is an extra asset, for Venus receives a sextile from Mars, which turns her into a great lover despite the fact that her Sun is in Virgo, an intellectual sign.

Tough Transits in 2018

Argento is currently experiencing the transit of Pluto in Capricorn squaring her Mercury. Since she is deeply marked by this slow-moving planet, she is most likely to feel its effect at the psychological level. She may tend to be in the doldrums and to brood over her doubts.

It must be underlined that for the past few months, she underwent the transit of Saturn. In the last degrees of Sagittarius, he challenged the natal Sun, and later, when the planet of austerity entered Capricorn, he started to upset the natal Ascendant.

On June 8, 2018, the death of her love partner, the famous chef and author Anthony Bourdain, was a major trial for her and can be associated to this painful transit.

Let us hope that she will have the strength to wait for brighter days and that Jupiter in Scorpio will bring some solace, probably in mid-October, when he sends a trine to her luminaries.
