Analysis of Yoko Ono's astrological chart

Aquarius and Libra's Air and Social Desire

This astrological case is all the more interesting that, sometimes in the past, the person has been a controversial artist. Yoko Ono's name remains associated with that of John Lennon, although she has always lived by herself, as a good Aquarius.

This sign is very emphasized in the natal chart, since a Sun-Venus-Saturn conjunction is posited there. Incidentally, the Sun is at 29°, the last degree of the sign, often referred to as anaretic. Contradictory and undocumented sources believe that the specificity of this degree is to reinforce or to weaken the planet posited there. Some consider that the planet is stronger but brings about associated results of stress, challenge, and insecurity, while some others, who are a minority, that the planet is weakened, for it is exhausted at the end of a sign. With extreme caution and distrust, we could imagine that the Sun at 29° degree is slightly stronger and therefore, gives greater emphasis to the sign in which he is posited.

Like Aquarius, the planet Venus is prominent in the natal chart. Therefore, it is obvious that Ono had everything required to be an atypical, unordinary woman prone to experience unconventional love stories.

Singer, musician, poet, performer, comedian, author-composer-interpreter, filmmaker, women's rights activist, Ono is so original, so Aquarius, that she resembles no one.

Besides, the Venus-Saturn duet in Aquarius is connected to the Ascendant in Libra by a trine, and to the Moon in Sagittarius in the 2nd House by a sextile, which forms a minor triangle, a very harmonious pattern.

It must be noted that Venus rules the Ascendant in Libra, and that Saturn is in exaltation in this sign. This combination highlights the Air element, which prompts Ono to socialize and to exchange left, right, and centre. Actually, repeatedly in her life, Ono tried to frequent avant-garde spheres and cultural gatherings.

As we go back to her childhood, we can say that she was born in a wealthy family. She received an excellent education which enabled her to develop an artistic calling very early, since she was 14.

World War II compelled the family to settle in New York. This was very good for Ono, who considered that the city was a laboratory for her cultural and artistic explorations. This was how she met John Lennon at the opening of an art exhibition.

Her numerous artistic activities reflect well the energy of both signs, Libra and Aquarius. Ono needs to rely on her partners, or on groups. She remains known as the representative of the Fluxus movement, which deals with visual arts as well as music and literature. It started to blossom in the sixties and remained in fashion throughout the decade.

Humor and derision are at the core of its approach and mainly define Fluxus, producing anti-art, or rather, entertainment art, a typically Aquarius movement.

A Moon-mercury-neptune T-square, Source of Discord

Everyone is aware that Ono's dominating influence on Lennon irritated scores of people. Since Uranus is in square with Pluto in the 7th House, the House of associations and marriage, it is probable that Uranus' iron fist brings about disagreements.

To illustrate the grip Ono had on Lennon - whether Lennon accepted it or even requested it – we could recall that he went as far as changing his middle name in 1969, replacing Winston by Ono. Although he used "John Ono Lennon" afterwards, his official documents indicated "John Winston Ono Lennon", because it was not permitted to revoke a name given at birth.

Regarding heart matters, Ono seems quite cold, not too prone to gentleness or to excitement; on the other hand, she is reliable and encouraging, just like her Venus in Aquarius.

Let us focus on the effects of a daunting T-square between Mercury in Pisces and in the 5th House, facing Neptune and Mars in Virgo and in the 11th House, aggravated by the Moon in Sagittarius and in the 3rd House. These links indicate serious communication issues. Mercury in Pisces may bring about vagueness and manipulation attempts, especially when Neptune is involved.

The Moon-Mars square adds an emotional and critical touch impossible to control (Mars in Virgo). Actually, it so happened that Lennon's partner always clung to him and followed him even when the other Beatles arrived in the recording studio.

Even if she did not interfere, her constant and unwelcome presence disturbed everyone. This spoiled the atmosphere, and the group finally broke up, as we know. According to many fans, Ono was held responsible for it, and she was heavily blamed. Sometimes, in those days, her name brought to the mind of the general public the figure of the evil intruder.

People who are curious and thirsting for the news of this month of May 2022 noticed an analogic dissonance, all the more powerful that it is tighter, in the chart of Amber Heard, actress and former spouse of Johnny Depp. We are referring to a Moon-Neptune-Mercury T-Square, the whole pattern being strengthened by Mars in conjunction with Neptune. The result is a clear gap between emotion and rationality, with a considerable amount of aggressiveness and manipulative power.

Saturn's Seriousness and Long-lasting Effect

Nevertheless, we must not make the picture darker than it is in this regard. Indeed, this T-Square has an exit door in terms of security, owing to the Venus-Saturn conjunction in sextile with the Moon, herself being in sextile with the Ascendant in the harmonious minor triangle mentioned above.

Shielded from the fuzziness of the Moon and Neptune, Ono has always been able to fulfill her commitments and also to show qualities of seriousness and clarity whatever she undertook.

The longevity of her sucess is certainly due to her auspicious Saturn, since at 89, she is still pursuing her career as an artist, surrounded by her family.

In 2016, particularly, she was named the 11th most titled dance club artist by Billboard magazine. A host of musicians paid homage to Ono as a fully-fledged artist, as well as a muse and an icon. Her admirers included for instance Elvis Costello, the B-52's, Sonic Youth, and Meredith Monk.

Money and Power Symbolized by Culminating Pluto

Although Pluto is not really in an angle, he is the most elevated planet of the natal chart and in the 10th House. He forms a quite harsh square with Uranus, but a sextile with Jupiter. The relationship between these three slow-moving planets is interesting, even if their effect is often collective.

In Ono's case, nonetheless, we can see that this pattern is a rather suggestive illustration of the role she managed to give herself, since Pluto culminates in a House which is far from being insignificant; in addition, Pluto rules the 2nd House (money one earns), empty here, and therefore, even more influenced by its ruler.

When she became a widow, the artist was the main heiress of Lennon. Currently, her wealth is estimated at 700 million dollars. Actually, she herself produced dozens of films and works which contributed to increase her income and establish her reputation as a very ambitious female artist capable of anything to stay on top.
