Analysis of Laura Dern's astrological chart

An Aquarius Therefore a Quite Special Lady

After having seen everything in Hollywood during decades, Laura Dern is currently going through a particularly auspicious period for her career. Enough to give the lie to the proverb that it is difficult for an actress to find happiness in the cinema after the age of fifty.

Normal, because this person having the Sun in Aquarius comes from a family of performers, and moreover, like many people of this sign, she does not do things the way everyone else does. An Aquarius does not specifically seek to be different; he just cannot help it.

In Dern's case, one could have thought that her destiny was all drawn. She was born in Hollywood and was immersed in the 7th art world since she was very young. She became successful rather quickly. Indeed, in 1986, almost a beginner, she got a role in Blue Velvet, directed by David Lynch, who became one of her favorite directors.

At 20, she already seemed to have Hollywood at her beck and call, infatuated with her image of a blonde at the same time rebellious and sexy.

Then, with Wild at Heart, David Lynch offered her the opportunity to overcome these stereotypes. Some people were scandalized by the film, which may have gladdened her. Actually, her path in the cinema looked more like an itinerary influenced by intuitive choices than by pure ambition.

The Pisces Ascendant Makes Her Pliable

Let us now discuss the influence of the sign of Pisces, which is even stronger than that of the Sun sign. Indeed, the Ascendant is found there, as well as Venus in an angle in the 1st House, but also the Moon and Mercury in the 12th House.

One can therefore say that the last zodiacal sign impacts the impression Dern gives people, as well as the way she loves, thinks, and controls her emotions. No less!

The astrologer also notices that the 12th House is very highlighted. Now, this region symbolizes topics in perfect analogy with Pisces such as ends of a cycle, interiority, suppressed feelings, intuition, mysteries.

In brief, Dern undoubtedly needs to be chosen and desired in order to give a meaningful direction to her life.

Venus Prevails but Does Not Facilitate Dern's Mission

Venus conjunct the Ascendant is very potent and spurs Dern to practice artistic expression, probably turning her into both an aesthete and a great lover. She is not necessarily skilled when she must say it or formulate it – this occurs often with Pisces – but she feels intense waves of emotions which may be destabilizing.

Besides, apart from the conjunction with Mercury, Venus is rather confrontational. She is in opposition with Pluto, even with Uranus (although the orb is wide; however, in our opinion, the whole pattern must be considered, since Uranus and Pluto are conjunct). In addition, she sends a square to the Midheaven – the career – and a sesqui-square to Jupiter.

To sum up, unable to separate mental from affective matters, Dern tends to make a bad use of her power of seduction, which fetters her professional cursus and her romantic relationships.

As a matter of fact, she declared in an interview that she was badly affected by the divorce of her parents. Better (or worse), she specified that when she was a teenager, she used to hear her mother say that a love story was full of all sorts of wrenches and betrayals. One may believe that Dern was not well "programmed" to face these questions with serenity and optimism.

In the cinema world for instance, she had a hard time getting rid of her image associated with big productions – such as Jurassic Park – although she also participated in high-quality projects.

As for her love life, it is marked by a certain instability. She had love affairs with several of her partners, such as Nicolas Cage and Jeff Goldblum, before she married Ben Harper, the father of her two children, whom she divorced in 2010.

Powerful Integration Thanks to the Saturn-jupiter-neptune Trio

Among the assets of her chart, it is necessary to mention the Grand Trine linking three social planets, i.e. Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune. While Dern shares this configuration with a great number of people, famous or not, it is interesting to underline that this Grand Trine connects planets in the 1st, 5th, and 8th Houses, respectively. This enables Dern to rely on a good mix of seriousness and fantasy, and even good luck, especially in the area of love (which counterbalances the relative fragility of Venus, as explained) and financial investments.

For the past few years, Dern has been experiencing a comeback in the limelight. She was given outstanding roles in TV series, such as Little Big Lies, as well as in the cinema with Little Women and the film which earned her the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Marriage Story.

Upcoming Transits

Regarding transits, the actress is enjoying the mighty planetary occupancy in Capricorn (Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto) and Neptune in Pisces.

This latter planet transited her Ascendant a while ago, but it is probably now that Neptune is most effective thanks to supports coming from Capricorn. In 2021, it is most likely that the public will find Dern again in Jurassic World 3, which looks like a promise of solid success for her.
