Analysis of Christina Applegate's astrological chart

Sun in Sagittarius Ascendant in Gemini

Mostly known for her roles in comedies, Christina Applegate quietly made her way to Hollywood. To begin with, let us note that the characteristic of her natal chart is a marked prominence of the mutable mode, at over 93%. She was born with the Sun in Sagittarius, a sign particularly emphasized; we shall get back to this. Her Ascendant in Gemini therefore possesses an innate capacity for adaptation.

Indeed, the mutable mode enables people to adjust naturally to the various situations coming to them. They try neither to face them nor to avoid them; they are conciliatory and flexible.

Nevertheless, they must deal with the side effects of this configuration, because an excess of the mutable mode often entails difficulties becoming stable or even fulfilling their responsibilities.

Saturn-sun Opposition: the Burden of Authority

This is very interesting in the case of this actress born with the Sun in Sagittarius in exact opposition to Saturn. Therefore, the aspect is a specific signature which influences her deeply.

The opposition between these planets usually points to an issue with the father or with authority in general, as well as to problems keeping one's long-term commitments, which corresponds to an excess of Air values. Applegate is most likely to prefer dodging to action.

This aspect may also give rise to inhibition and lack of self-confidence, especially when it is activated by tough transits.

Sagittarius' Good Luck and Gemini's Precocity

Applegate was born into a family which had earned artistic recognition. Her father was a music producer, and her mother was a singer. But they divorced rapidly. This was perhaps an opportunity but also a first hurdle.

At 10, she appeared for the first time in a horror film. One might as well say that she comes from a family of artists and that she discovered all the secrets of Hollywood quite quickly.

From an astrological standpoint, Sagittarius is the dominant of her chart. Straight away, she had the faculty to think big. Her natural optimism attracted success. This is obvious when we look at her path. Among all those who looked like her in Hollywood, she was the one who met the right people and most of the time got the roles she coveted.

At less than 18, she used her charms and became the heroine of a popular TV series, Married... with Children. This part allowed her to display a humour typical of the late eighties. She impersonated during eleven years the character of a superficial and apparently stupid blonde, quite in line with Gemini.

She logically obtained a small part in Friends, another cult series of those years. Then, gradually, she managed to reveal various facets of her acting skills. This enabled her to start to become known in the cinema circles, mainly in comedies.

Neptune's Influence and Its Artistic Aspirations

In the natal chart, the Sun is tightly conjunct Neptune in early Sagittarius, in opposition to Saturn, as mentioned above. Applegate is blessed with an abundance of talents and artistic inspirations, even though she must overcome a certain resistance and her lack of self-assurance.

Further down, Jupiter in domicile sits alone in the middle of the sign. Nevertheless, he sends a square to Mars, which probably indicates a strong need for physical activity coupled with impatience and rashness. Fortunately, the Jupiter-Uranus sextile (though generational), helps Applegate recollect her composure quite unexpectedly.

In the years 2000, she was found playing opposite the female stars of those days. With Cameron Diaz and Selma Blair, she practiced offbeat humor, very Sagittarius-Gemini too, particularly in The Sweetest Thing. She also starred with Gwyneth Paltrow in View From the Top. During this decade, she had the possibility to diversify, for example as a stage comedian or a producer.

Pluto's Romantic Damages

However, as of 2007, she went through a rough patch. She split with her first husband then kept on suffering ordeals, including a breast cancer.

The progressive passage of Pluto – a very slow-moving planet – on her Mercury-Venus duet in late Sagittarius may have caused the collapse of her marriage and the physiological consequences she experienced.

Then, at the start of 2008, as transiting Pluto entered Capricorn, he sent a square to his natal position; this frequently heralds a period of thorough questioning.

Harshly Aspected Mars in Pisces

Let us look at the other pair which characterizes the chart, i.e. the Moon-Mars conjunction in Pisces. The alliance of these two instinctive planets, which have nothing else in common, is quite weird.

The Moon in Pisces describes a person with a fertile imagination and strong aesthetic views. However, Mars horns in to jostle the Moon, who becomes impulsive.

The planet of masculinity is ill at ease in Pisces. This may imply having a hard time expressing one's aggressiveness or just protecting oneself when attacked. Then, Applegate's excessive kindness or her inability to respond may backfire on her.

Besides, the Mars-Moon conjunction is in the 10th House, that of career. It is most likely that this energy, even with its flaws, was used in her movies, no matter how painful it might have been.

Let us underscore that this duet squares another duet, that of the Sun and Neptune in Sagittarius. All four planets play a very special sheet music and give Applegate's personality an undeniable originality, and all the more so because Saturn in Gemini has recently formed a 5° orb T-Square.

These three mobile signs, and above all this dynamic pattern, prompt the actress to constantly move forward so as to cope with the stress they generate. We observe that Pluto supports her Sun, which provides her with a good capacity to withstand ordeals.

Jupiter's Beneficial Transit in 2010

As a typical Sagittarius, Applegate managed to get back on the path to fulfilment. She was cured, found affective balance again, and married a rocker again.

Since 2010, not only did she keep on playing in successful movies, but her dear wish of motherhood was granted.

Upcoming Transits

Regarding the current and upcoming transits, let us note once again that transiting Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius, is back home throughout 2019.

In Applegate's chart, the mundane square this planet sends to Neptune thrice, owing to the retrograde motion, is highly significant. This is why she will have to maneuver without avoiding small risks of delusion, but in an overall context which remains promising.

Furthermore, in 2020, her chart will receive an auspicious Uranus-Moon sextile, bringing nice surprises, including in the areas of career and popularity.
