Analysis of Blake Lively's astrological chart

Astrology at the Service of Character Analysis

Daily news regularly puts the spotlight on all sorts of famous people. Although we are not fond of juicy information, we inevitably have an idea about a given political figure, a movie star, a Royal Highness, or a skilled sportsman.

Those well-known faces draw our interest and seem familiar to us, because we watch their successes or their setbacks day by day.

Astrology may also be considered as an interesting filter to better define their personality, and to guess whether the events they experience are confirmed by their planets' activities. Astrology does not reveal everything, of course, but using the dominants and other peculiarities of the natal chart, we can see whether the astrological portrait matches the collective image or offers unsuspected additional nuances.

After Whitney Houston and Kamala Harris, here is an article about the "perfect" Blake Lively.

An Extremely Predominant Sign of Virgo

Blake Lively has what astrologers call a fortunate chart. This means that auspicious aspects are particularly numerous and that important planets are in a good position. However, we must specify that such a scenario does not guarantee that life will be happy, only that it will abound with opportunities and protections.

The danger is to take things easy and to lack dynamism. In a chart, challenges and tensions are similar to goads prompting to move forward, to take action, and thus to have a destiny with more varied experiences, whereas too many talents result in resting passively on one's laurels.

Lively's natal chart comprises a stellium – a group of planets – in Virgo. There is a conjunction of five planets: the Sun, between Mars (exact aspect) and Venus (with an orb of less than one degree), Mercury, and the Moon. They work together, and anything influencing one of them has an impact on the other four. Here, five personal planets are involved, and therefore, particularly active. It is difficult to better personify Virgo than Lively. She is known for her self-discipline and her healthy lifestyle, about which she readily discusses.

Such a prominent Virgo probably indicates that Lively prefers reflection to the detriment of spontaneity, that she is perfectionist, industrious, provident, helpful, simple, detail-oriented, and organized.

Ascendant in Leo and Importance of Appearance

Born in Los Angeles in a family where almost all the members work in the film industry. She has four siblings who became actors like the father, and the mother is an agent. Her background incited her to start out, when she was only 11, in her father's film. This took her to audition seriously at 17 for The sisterhood of traveling pants by Ken Kwapis in 2008.

As the story goes, she just left her photo, and this was enough to get the role. It must be said that in addition to being introduced in the right place, Lively is a typical Californian, tall, good-looking">, blonde, and sporty.

Besides, she also worked as a model. All these facts match her Ascendant in Leo. Unwillingly, she draws attention and looks for the light, although, owing to the Virgo personality, her real tastes are simple or modest, as stated above.

Her natal chart has a host of peculiarities. We just mentioned the cluster of planets in Virgo. They are all well-linked to Neptune in the 5th House and in Capricorn as well as to the Midheaven in Taurus. As a result, the Earth element is totally dominant in the chart and endows Lively with a very American common sense, a quality rooted in solid ground which prevents her from falling into the traps of celebrity.

Earth Pragmatism Turns All Opportunities Into Achievements

With Gossip Girl, a series released in 2007, which describes life in an extremely select New York university, Lively rose to international stardom. Somehow, the role she played was like Carrie Bradshaw's in Sex and the City or The Carrie Diaries, with her fashionable attires and her uninhibited materialistic approach.

The part of Serena van der Woodsen enabled her to move toward the "real" cinema. The conversion is successful. She won over the critics and demanding directors like Oliver Stone. Then she met the man of her life, Ryan Reynolds, on the shooting of Green Lantern in 2011. Although the film was not unforgettable, it changed her life radically.

This affective encounter began most reasonably, in a most typical Virgo manner. She first became the actor's friend, and it was only one year later, once they had taken the time to get to know one another, that they went a step further. Since then, she married him, had three children with him, and she is apparently enjoying a quiet and discreet happy life. As it barely happens, once in a while, each of them recalls one's love for one's soul mate: the dream!

Fire Grand Trine: Energy and Enthusiasm

In short, she managed to make the most of the aspects of her chart, and above all, of its quite uncommon configurations. There are several Grand Trines in the natal chart. Indeed, in addition to the Earth Grand Trine mentioned above, there is a Fire Grand Trine linking planets in Fire signs consisting of Jupiter near the Midheaven, as well as Uranus, to the planets of the Earth trine, i.e. to Mars and to the Sun, at least.

It is difficult to list everything in detail, but it seems that in Lively's case, Fire combines with Earth to instil the energy to achieve, a force made of impulses and realization.

Moreover, we remark that this Grand Trine forms a Kite pattern with Pluto as its apex. Since the planet is in conjunction with the Imum Coeli, it is part of its dominants and gives depth and charisma. Passion rules the private life and supports professional fulfilment.

As if these assets were not enough, let us underline that Saturn, in mid-Sagittarius, curbs the influence of Leo. Lively does not tolerate arrogance, even though she can demonstrate a sound, almost magnetic self-confidence which spreads on people.

Let us add no more. This is enough to understand why she annoyed people with the discipline and the perfection of Virgo, a sign that cannot be fault. Not a chance.

Nevertheless, there is a small - or big - drawback. As we know, a chart with too many "positive" features and few negative aspects is much more fragile and vulnerable than a very "negative" chart with few promising aspects. The latter is in a sense familiar with life ordeals and makes its owner more resistant. Saturn in the 5th is in a rather tight square with the natal Moon in the 2nd House. This may create a sometimes wistful temperament and a real emotional weakness with regard to loneliness, splits, or feelings of abandonment, as well as possible financial frustrations. Setbacks are relative, given the very positive trend of the rest of the chart, including in particular the strength of Mercury and Neptune, the rulers of the 2nd and the 8th Houses.

Rather Harmonious Current Transits

At present, it seems that Lively is almost slipping through the current difficulties of the deeply troubled world sky. The triple conjunction, which has hurt scores of people, is not unfavorable to Lively's natal chart and does not impair her personal planets.

Nor are they aggressed by the lengthy sojourn of Mars in Aries, from the summer of 2020 until 6 January 2021. It occurs in good harmony with the natal Saturn and the natal Ascendant, which provides energy and enthusiasm.

It is certainly not surprising that Lively has been discreet these days, if we consider the fact that happy people have no history. Moreover, this will probably last for some time for her.
