A Good-looking Taurus Lady
When the series Mad Men was released, Christina Hendricks' fame immediately went global. Where did she come from, this fantastic red-haired actress fitted to embody a fleshy secretary of the sixties?
Nobody was surprised to hear that the young lady was born with the Sun in Taurus. Her Venusian and harmonious appearance is typical of Taurus. Moreover, Venus is in the 1st House of the natal chart, though far from the angle. In any case, her curves, highlighted by the very carefully thought-out style of the successful TV series mentioned above, bear the stamp of Taurus.
The Planetary Configuration of a Talented Jack of All Trades
Nevertheless, you can't judge a book by its cover. On the one hand, Christina Hendricks' chart cannot be reduced to the only characteristics of this Earth sign, since it is obviously more complex. On the other hand, she is much more intellectual than one may think at first glance. Indeed, the chart displays a "Splash" planetary pattern, quite a rare one, in which all the planets are posited in a relatively equal manner in the zodiac. There is no conjunction, except on the angles.
With this planetary pattern, people have numerous and very eclectic centres of interest. They tend to jump from one topic to another with exceptional ease, like a chameleon. In addition, the Ascendant in Gemini prompts them to follow the same inclination and endows with the capacity to play all sorts of very different roles. This is a valuable asset for a person dreaming of theatre plays and movies.
Although everyone imagines that Hendricks is a flaming redhead, she is actually a true blonde, who confesses that she has been dyeing her hair since the age of 10... One might as well say that her taste for transformation was precocious. Fortunately, her mother, a psychologist, let her play with her whims. Very quickly, at 16, Hendricks took an avid interest in acting. As we know, television gave her her first opportunities, which she never missed.
A Marilyn Monroe-style Chart with Gemini and Aquarius Highlighted
It is worth underlining that Hendricks's chart reminds us of that of Monroe.
Like this movie star, Hendricks has a noticeable Moon, in an angle and in Aquarius. Monroe was born with the Sun in Gemini, the same sign as Hendricks' Ascendant. These features lead us to say that we are dealing with startling seductresses who have the power to drive men crazy, but who are also child-like women unable to toe the line.
The Independence of Aquarius
As far as Hendricks is concerned, she amazed her audience when she declared publicly that she was unwilling to have children.
She told the Guardian, on the eve of her 40th birthday: "I know many persons who do not want children. And when I started to talk about this, many people said: 'Thank you for having addressed this topic, because my family does not understand why we don't want children'". A very Aquarius stand, a sign par excellence free, nonconformist, and bold.
In Hendricks' chart, the Moon in Aquarius is very powerful, for she is posited on the MC and she is involved in the Grand Trine linking planets in Air, with Venus in Gemini and Pluto in Libra. The Moon is the first dominant planet of the chart and brings a special and most astonishing way to blend lightness and depth, emotions and passion.

Upcoming Nice Prospects
As far as the future is concerned, Hendricks is experiencing the transit of Neptune exactly on natal Mars, and trine natal Saturn. One may reasonably foresee concentration and active inspiration. All these facts are good omens for her projects.
However, she must be wary of transiting Saturn opposing natal Saturn, a life phase which occurs every 29 and a half year. This transit may point to thoughts on the passing of time tinged with melancholy, or personality development which gets rid of the superfluous and which consciously eradicates what was unsuitable.
Regarding secondary and solar arcs directions, enjoyment and seduction probably occupied an important place in her life, with the progressed Sun on natal Venus since 2017. Romantic encounters occur quite often when a direction of Venus reaches the natal Sun. It applies also to directions of the Sun to natal Venus.
