A Chart Dominated by the Sign of Virgo
Is it really surprising that the actress Michelle Williams is considered one of the most discreet personalities in Hollywood, knowing that her natal chart is strongly marked by Virgo, tenanted by no less than five planets, of which three personal planets?
Indeed, the comedian is among the people born with the Sun and the Moon in the same sign, which means that their animus, their anima, as well as their will and their emotions work in similar modes. In Williams' case, there is in addition a conjunction involving a nice Jupiter. The blend is therefore astonishing.
On the one hand, Virgo prompts Williams to modesty and urges her to show her worth to ensure that she steals nothing from others. On the other hand, Jupiter between the luminaries obviously develops a taste for splendour. So, how does Williams manage to carry out a synthesis of all these influences?
The Seriousness of Mercury in Domicile Conjunct Saturn
First fact, Williams has been studious and hard-working since early childhood. At 10, she was convinced that she wanted to dedicate herself to be a theatre actor. She became a professional at 15 and applied for emancipation, a procedure occasionally allowed in the United States. It must be underlined that Williams was precocious, since she passed her high school diploma two years ahead of schedule.
All astrologers know that Virgo is a Mercurian sign which strives to educate itself and to improve itself. Moreover, Mercury, ruler of Virgo is in domicile, in the last degrees of the sign and in the company of Saturn. Thus, the planets of communication and reason confirm that Williams' mental structures are particularly sound and efficient.
We can assume that she has had to overcome a few complexes and that she took nothing for granted. Actually, she confessed that she went through several difficult years before making a breakthrough. Here is what she confided about her beginnings in an interview with Madame Figaro in 2015: "I won more than I lost, because I started at the lowest level and stayed there a long time, accepting small parts in TV series and commercials for washing powder".
In any case, after a few roles in films which enabled her to get a foothold in the world of cinema, the series Dawson gave her the chance to attract the interest of a real audience. In the leading role of a disturbed teenager, she was totally convincing, and her name started to become known.
A Bowl Pattern
Fortunately for her, the opportunity to assert herself socially is also among her potentialities. Indeed, we can but remark the special configuration of her chart. It shows a planetary figure called "the bowl", i.e. in which all planets are in the Southern hemisphere. People having this shape give priority to their career and spare no effort to make progress and become noticed.
They need recognition and devote all their energy to their aim, successfully in general. They are sometimes aware that something is missing. In the case of Williams, it is her private life which takes the toll.
The Independence of Aquarius
The other component of Williams' amazing personality is her Aquarius Ascendant. This sign increases Virgo's intellectual power while adding to it a touch of boldness and oddity.
Just as Virgos need tangible proofs of what they say, so the 11th sign likes to challenge stereotypes. In addition, Uranus, the chart ruler, is in Scorpio and throws in intransigence into the struggles waged.
Because of this configuration, the position of the ruler of the 11th sign is not too comfortable. In some cases, Williams tends to put her emotions on hold, stressing Uranus' detached side, and to set herself apart exceedingly in other cases.
A Dominant Venus in an Angle
In front of this Ascendant, Venus in an angle in the 7th House - that of relations with others - is busy recalling the importance of the affective life but suggests a challenge. It took the form of an encounter on a set. When Williams played in Brokeback Mountain, her performance was unanimously acclaimed. This is quite logical since Venus sends a sextile to the Midheaven and bodes well for artistic careers.
This film was also the opportunity to meet Heath Ledger, the man who became the father of her daughter. Sadly, they split and later, as we all know, Ledger died (death by drug overdose).
Already secretive before this tragedy, Williams was careful not to hit the headlines. In the summer of 2018, she caught everyone off guard when she married the musician Phil Elverum. The ceremony, secret, took place in the Adirondacks, in the state of New York.

Transits of Mars and Jupiter in an Angle by the End of 2018
This autumn, Mars, who was doing his long retrogradation cycle since the end of June 2018, will reach the natal Ascendant in Aquarius. This transit heralds an eventful period during which the actress can give her career a fresh start.
It is interesting to observe that in her natal chart, Mars opposes Venus. A craving for love is most likely to urge her to spice up her romantic life.
What is most important to note is that in November, Jupiter will reach Williams' Midheaven. She will be able to rely on this support and expect a great year of professional growth. After having been recently on the cover of Vanity Fair, she may achieve more success and enjoy a resurgence in popularity.
