Sun-moon in Nice Aspect: Balance
She is the new star of Hollywood. In last September (2020), Zendaya earned the title of Best Actress at the Emmy Awards ceremony (broadcasted in digital format only).
It is probably not surprising that the young lady is thus rewarded during this special period, since the Sun in Virgo and the Ascendant in Aquarius are prominent in her natal chart. This combination is quite unusual, because it links an Earth sign, discreet and cautious, to the 11th sign of the zodiac, which highlights the Air element, and which is marked by extravagance or at least an original side and boldness.
Therefore, there is nothing in common – or almost nothing – between Virgo and Aquarius, which leads to defining a personality made of paradoxes. In fact, despite a very early personal success – at 24, she is the youngest actress to win such an award, not to mention the other strings to her bow that we speak of further down – Zendaya remains acutely aware that she comes from a modest background.
She is also one of the favorite representatives of the African-American community, being herself of mixed race. Her mother is of German and Scottish descent, while her father has African roots. Although her parents divorced, she can rely on both of them. Her mother was a theater director and gave her the desire to go on stage. Her father is a former sports teacher and became the manager and bodyguard of his daughter.
In a word, all is fine in terms of harmony in parental relationships, as indicated by a nice Grand Trine between the Sun in Virgo, Jupiter in Capricorn, and the Moon in exaltation in Taurus. Both luminaries thus connected point to calm and comforting family links which enabled Zendaya to freely enjoy the melody of glory while remaining simple and down to earth.
This advantageous configuration probably helped her achieve sound prosperity. Indeed, her wealth already amounts to nearly 275 million US dollars.
Pluto on the Midheaven: Push Towards Demanding Career
Let us look at another aspect which is one of the other major signatures of the natal chart. The Midheaven, the House of career, is in Scorpio and is tenanted by Pluto, ruler of the sign. This characteristic is often found in the sky map of those who do not consider that vocation is an issue. It is obvious, and nothing could never prevent them from reaching their goals.
Let us recall in passing, for this is not always known, that slow-moving planets correspond to non-chosen events or tendencies of the destiny, unlike fast-moving planets, sometimes called personal planets, which express their action by influencing the person's willpower and tastes.
In the case of Zendaya's chart, it is interesting to underline that the cusp of the Midheaven as well as Pluto receive only very propitious aspects. Thus, the Mars-Venus pair, that we shall analyze later, sends an exact trine to the Midheaven from the 6th House, related to the professional world in its daily meaning, with its duties and the will to improve oneself.
There is a common thread between the promise made by both planets and the area pertaining to Zendaya's social and professional destiny. For instance, she used to be Disney's Channel muse. It is foreseeable that, whatever her choices may be, her mighty Pluto shields her from all reversals of fortune. If she happened to face a setback, she would have the ability to overcome it.
Moreover, the Midheaven-Pluto conjunction is in good aspect with Uranus. Because the ruler of Aquarius is in the 12th, but already in conjunction with the Ascendant, she is naturally able to cause a surprise and to start from scratch, if necessary.
Uranus and Aquarius: Activism
Innovating, daring, and independent, Zendaya brilliantly promotes the values of her Uranus and her Aquarius Ascendant. In Hollywood, her looks as well as her stances contrast sharply with other people's. In 2015 for example, she chose to wear dreadlocks on the red carpet of the Oscar ceremony, which provoked aggressive criticisms, that she did not leave unanswered.
In other circumstances, after having been the target of racist comments, she never hesitated to take the floor to defend herself. Besides, she militates in favor of the cause of women as much as the cause of colored people, too few in the cinema industry in her opinion.
Mars and Venus: the Gift of Fame and Beauty
Simultaneous, as demanded by the contradictions of her chart, Zendaya can play the usual game of seduction. The Venus-Mars conjunction in Cancer has prompted her to overcome her shyness when she started as a model. Both planets together endow with great charisma, if not obvious magnetism or sex-appeal.
Zendaya's hyper sensitivity proved to be a very useful asset. Still an adolescent, she made the most of her dancing talents as she appeared in clips on Disney Channel. This too falls under the competence of the Mars-Venus duet. Besides, Zendaya participated in a Dance contest with stars in the United States, and she was a finalist.
Then, the contract with Lancôme was as fruitful and was undoubtedly in connection with this conjunction.
Significant Transits in 2021
The planets have been casting a bright glow on this comedian for the past few years. Indeed, it was in 2017 that Zendaya's career and fame really took off as she became the co-star of the blockbuster Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Since then, the transit of slow-moving planets in Capricorn, in 2019 and mainly 2020, deeply stimulated the Earth Grand Trine, even though her love life has been challenged, similarly to her Venus-Mars pair, in Cancer, on the other side.
This year 2021, Zendaya, who has become so young the world highest-paid actress, is experiencing the transit of Jupiter and of Saturn on her Ascendant. All lights are green, and she can consolidate her already exceptional situation.
Nevertheless, as early as February, her emotional life and her vitality may undergo several tensions. They may be caused by the way she communicates or her travels. Indeed, these mundane planets in Aquarius – particularly Saturn, slower than Jupiter – will be jostled by Uranus in Taurus, who will be in conjunction with the natal Moon in the 3rd House. Everyone will feel this climate, but Zendaya will be more affected by it. It is most likely that she will need to behave with more caution. Although unexpected and strong disturbances will give her a hard time, the protective natal trine with the Sun, as well as the relative maturity of her 24 years should help her cope bravely.
