Analysis of Barbra Streisand's astrological chart

The Sensuality of Taurus and the Energy of Aries

Born in New York in the district of Brooklyn, Barbra Streisand is the accomplished artist par excellence. She is American and, at the same time, she enjoys huge international fame. A popular singer, actress, director, and producer, she accumulated all her successes with incredible ease. Moreover, she cultivates many centres of interest such as design and politics.

With the Sun in Taurus and the Ascendant in Aries, Streisand's chart shows that she is a go-getter bursting with life. She is capable of both spontaneity and fidelity.

Like many famous people with the Sun in the second sign, Streisand possesses a sensual and warm voice which has been an obvious asset throughout her life. She can hold musical notes for a very long time, and her vocal chords allow astonishing technical feats which convey universal emotions.

First and foremost, her Aries Ascendant provides the energy to obtain everything without delay. When she was a child, she did not blossom within her family, for she was affected by the death of her father and the remarriage of her mother. This situation prompted her to stand on her own two feet very quickly.

At 16, after having passed her baccalaureate, she was irresistibly drawn to the entertainment industry. She won a talent-show, the type of contest already existing in New York. The effect produced was explicit. Despite her peculiar appearance, everyone was smitten, professionals as well as laypeople. She performed in clubs, which played to a full house each time. Radio stations competed to get an interview with her. She tried a hand at the style of the Broadway musicals then at jazz. All genres suited her.

A Strong Midheaven

In Streisand's case, it is interesting to note two assets which explain her path. On the one hand, the Midheaven, the symbol of career, is in Capricorn and ensures that planetary structures are strong. Indeed, the Sun, who is among the dominants, is conjunct Mercury, both of them trining this angle.

On the other hand, Saturn, ruler of the Midheaven, forms a generational conjunction with Uranus in late Taurus, as well as an auspicious aspect with Neptune. It must be recalled that the Saturn-Uranus conjunction, which occurs every 45 years, did take place in 1942, the year Streisand was born. This original alliance suggests the will to control as well as to bring about changes.

The period has proved quite turbulent indeed. Regarding Streisand's natal chart, this duet is in the 2nd House, that of possessions and material goods. Therefore, it was logical that, in his capacity as MC ruler, Saturn conjunct Uranus helped Streisand break various records, for example that of the female artist who sold the largest number of albums with over 140 copies worldwide. In short, this longevity definitely pertains to the two Earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn.

A Peremptory Moon

In addition to her career as a singer, Streisand succeeded in the cinema. Her first role in Funny Girl earned her an Oscar. She received many other prizes afterwards and played in numerous comedies or musicals which became major classics: The Way We Were, Yentl, Hello, Dolly, A Star Is Born, and even Meet the Fockers, in which she is delightful as the mother of Ben Stiller, an unconventional sexologist.

If we add the movies she directed or produced, we can say that she managed to make her mark with brio. Her Moon is in Leo conjunct Pluto, which gives her a great deal of natural authority. Streisand fears nothing. However, because the Moon is in conflict with the Sun, Streisand may have had problems reconciling certain social demands with her personal needs.

A Prominent Mars

The male facets of her personality and her true femininity are equally expressed, for her Mars is the planet which dominates the natal chart.

Firstly, her life shows that she is capable of fighting any challenge at all times. For instance, despite the pressures of her world, she has never been tempted by cosmetic surgery; she did not change her nose and said she is unable to follow a diet.

Moreover, she does not conceal her clear-cut opinions, an indication of her strong self-confidence. Recently, when her last album – the 36th – was released, she lashed out at Donald Trump. A fervent Democrat, she criticised bluntly the action of her country's leader. She wrote a song to accuse him of lying repeatedly.

A Discreet and Secretive Venus

In her romantic life, Streisand prefers to be discreet. Venus in the 12th House and in the mysterious sign of Pisces suggests secret wounds or hidden affairs.

Streisand achieved balance and just celebrated her 20 years of marriage with James Brolin.

She is impish and confessed she met him on a blind date, which corresponds very well to the positive expression of the configuration of her Venus in the natal chart.
