Analysis of Julianne Moore'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 Laura Dern and Val Kilmer, here is an article about the cerebral Julianne Moore.

Julianne Moore

Prevailing Mutable Mode

Julianne Moore is quite enigmatic. She may come across as both an ardent and at the same time very cold actress whose style is as varied as the multitude of films in which she participated.

Well, what is immediately striking in her natal chart is the predominance of the mutable mode indicating proneness to changes and adaptation. This feature amounts to 57,7%, which is considerable.

Although she has the Sun in Sagittarius, she is not particularly marked by this sign. The presence of the Sun is complemented by an Ascendant in Gemini, the Moon in an angle, while Pluto, the first dominant, is posited in Virgo, and the Midheaven is in Pisces. In brief, Moore's incarnation cross (the four major points of the natal chart, namely the Ascendant, the Imum Coeli, the Descendant, and the Midheaven), is entirely in mutable signs. Just like two of the main dominants, the Moon and Pluto.

What could we deduce from this? First of all, that all the areas of life are influenced by the characteristics pertaining to this mutable mode influence. Indeed, it involves end-of-season signs having the task to hand the baton to the next sign: adaptability, communication, and taste for moving are some of its qualities. On the downside, an overly mutable person may suffer from weathercock syndrome or may lack perseverance.

In this case, Moore, born Julie Anne Smith, was born in a rather middle-class family very inclined to house moves. Actually, owing to the military career of her father, she experienced no less than 23 house moves between the United States and Germany throughout her childhood. Nothing to help her become stabilized.

Besides, she declared that she was not very popular in her school, which might be in connection with this difficulty. By chance, she rapidly nurtured a passion for reading and writing which urged her to take an interest in drama, in parallel with studies which led to a degree in art and literature.

The rest of her route was marked by a constant escalation of duality. She started in front of the camera in a soap opera; then she became known after a demanding role in Short Cuts, by Robert Altman. All her life, she alternated between commercial or big-budget films, such as The Lost World: Jurassic Park by Steven Spielberg, or Hannibal, by Ridley Scott, while also playing more confidential parts for the independent cinema.

The same holds true for her private life; she behaves according to the principle that she married twice, and she defines herself as appreciating females as much as males.

An Intellectual and Spontaneous Moon in Gemini

With so many strings to her bow, Moore has every reason in the world to increase the number of her choices. Moreover, her Moon in Gemini, technically in the 12th House but not very far from the Ascendant, accentuates the youthful and expressive sides of this impish sign.

In Gemini, emotions are somehow rationalized, intellectualized, and verbalized, because often experienced through a character, whether in movies, on stage, or in books. Lastly, Moore sometimes tried her hand at writing; she had already published children's books under a pen name.

A Capricorn Note Beneficial for Work and Patience

Despite her red hair and rather scandalous roles (we shall get back to this later), Moore is also a woman who firmly holds the reins of her destiny, and who pays much attention to her profession.

With three planets (Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn) in Capricorn, she is eager to do her job well. She spares no effort and is not deterred by hurdles.

She has shown us often that her discreet femininity, represented by Venus in this sober sign, goes hand in hand with Saturn, who jealously remains in control; this is all the more so that he is at home, in domicile.

Whereas here affective surges are apparently held back, they can grow finer over time, especially given the support of Jupiter. In fact, Moore has been married for nearly twenty years with Bart Freundlich.

The only fly in the ointment is Mars in the 1st House and in opposition with the three planets in Capricorn, including Jupiter; Mars puts a spoke in Jupiter's wheel. We can foresee problems stemming from his impatience and a certain way of laying down the law.

Mars in Cancer probably keeps his cards well hidden, because this may translate into a slightly paternalistic behaviour which brings about the will to impose one's domination. Nevertheless, since Saturn would have none of it, there are possible conflicts in the field of relationships (the 1-7 axis is activated).

Let us add that the Capricorn's stamp is found also in the fact that Moore had to wait for a long time to achieve her aim – and success – but that her merit was eventually acknowledged. She is among the Hollywood actresses who obtained the largest number of awards.

A Dash of Scorpio Prods Into Boldness

Albeit everything in Moore seems to be result of her powerful brain, the Scorpio tone focuses on the position of Mercury in this sign. The ruler of the Ascendant, therefore ruler of the chart, lessens the lightheaded nature of Geminis and makes them more anxious to get to the bottom of things.

She has never been faint-hearted. For example, she displayed a murky sex-appeal in her films, she accepted to make herself look ugly, and she supported difficult causes. Mercury in Scorpio is never afraid to provoke and to delight in people's reaction, not to harm, but to learn more. Or to show who one is, a person who fears nothing.

The Current Period Puts Moore Under Strain

In 2020, she will have to deal with the challenging Saturn-Pluto-Jupiter trio in Capricorn transiting her natal stellium in this sign.

These planets have passed on (or are still transiting by conjunction) her natal Venus and her natal Saturn. Depending on the retrogradations of Saturn and Pluto throughout the year, the context will continue to leave its imprint. Let us be hopeful that the love life of beautiful Moore will not be too frustrating at present. In addition, it is most likely that the simultaneous transit of Jupiter multiplies tenfold her desire to succeed during this period.
