Analysis of Zoe Saldana's astrological chart

Apparently a Fairly Easy Natal Chart

Here is a chart much dominated by "blue" aspects of easiness. How lucky! Nevertheless, let us recall that we do not consider that this is a definite token of success, since many famous personages have "difficult" natal charts, which have the merit of giving them dynamism and a great deal of fighting spirit.

Positive aspects provide a pause or a rest which enables challenging aspects (drawn in red on the natal chart), often referred to as dynamic, to unleash all their energy in order to progress in one's destiny and to improve one's personality.

But finally, we must not deny ourselves our pleasure. Zoe Saldana, born with the Sun in Gemini, has nice assets and would be wrong not to use them.

Firstly, it must be noted that the actress is neither an archetype of Gemini, nor clearly marked by a planet in particular. Indeed, the Sun, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and Uranus all stand out from the pack, and the signs of Leo, of Cancer, and of Sagittarius are as important (and more in the case of Leo) as Gemini.

The Overwhelming Domination of Fire of a Resolute Female

We immediately observe the preponderance of Fire, which amounts to over 50% of the total influence of the elements of Saldana's chart. This is a lot, and this endows her with willpower and intuition in abundance.

Her Leo Ascendant, the most highlighted sign of the chart, grants her a star aura; she was born to be the center of the public interest, and she behaves with brazen self-assurance.

It is doubtless that Leo prompted her to take an interest in artistic activities very early. Saldana's first choice was classical ballet, a demanding discipline, probably encouraged by the sextile between the Sun, willpower, and Saturn, effort. We shall get back to this later. Venus, who is in Leo too, spurred Saldana to search for all forms of aesthetics, not without vanity.

Both Venus and the Ascendant are tied by a trine to the Moon in Sagittarius, another Fire sign. This luminary is in conjunction with Neptune. The trio thus formed, Leo Ascendant, Moon, and Neptune in Sagittarius, strengthens Saldana's faith in her destiny and her inspiration.

Leo and Sagittarius Incline Her Towards Action Films

Yet, in the beginning, life was not a bed of roses. Born in New Jersey, in a mixed-raced family from the Caribbean, Saldana's life changed when her father died in an accident. She had to leave the United States and grew up in the Dominican Republic. In those days, she was very far from the cinema spotlight.

Fortunately for her, when she was 17, her family returned to New York, and she could take her first drama classes. It must be reminded that the stage is an art particularly suitable for Leo's penchants.

This was how she got noticed and obtained a few small roles in films targeting a young audience. She rose to fame in 2002 when she played opposite Britney Spears in Crossroads, then Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Analyzing her chart, this kind of epic was bound to befit her Moon in the sign of Sagittarius, as mentioned above. The encounter with James Cameron, who hired her for the main female character of Avatar, was the final step which turned her into a star worldwide. Although her face and her body were painted in blue, Saldana managed to remain magnetic.

Mercury and Saturn Protect Her Career

Her predilection for blockbusters could have made her vulnerable to the lethargy of the crowds; this did not happen in her case. Owing to the Mars-Saturn conjunction, both in trine with the Midheaven, the actress combines determination and firmness when it comes to remaining on the top of her career.

Along the same lines, the Mars-Mercury sextile encourages very strategic actions. Let us underline that it is important to assess Mercury, since he is the ruler of the Sun in Gemini. Mercury in conjunction with the chart ruler adds a touch of intellectuality.

Actually, as of 2010, Saldana was constantly on the list of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood, as indicated by the success of the new episodes of Star Trek or of Guardians of the Galaxy. Would this taste for science fiction be due to Uranus in square with Saldana's Ascendant? Anyway, she probably desires to astonish, even though she should not overuse this risk-taking behaviour.

A Balanced Private Life Thanks to Venus and to the Luminaries

In the private life also, Saldana is lucky. After a few affairs when she was young, she chose to commit herself to her family life. She married an Italian artist, and they had three children. Posited in the 12th House, Venus may detest over-exposition.

In connection with the Moon, Saldana prefers sweet and harmonious relationships. This does not prevent her from having the typical profile of the amazon, because the Moon in Sagittarius is in square with Mars, an obvious sign of impulsiveness and sometimes of quick temper. We know that she loathes Hollywood's machismo and that she does not mince her words.

An Upcoming Difficult Saturn Transit

In 2020, Saldana is facing transiting Jupiter in opposition with his own natal position. The planet, which is posited in Cancer in the 12th House, and ill-disposed towards natal Pluto, is the other weak feature of the chart.

It is mainly in matters of health (the 6th-12th axis) and recklessness (Jupiter's immoderation) that the young lady would be well-advised not to overtax herself during this pandemic.

Recently, Saturn entering Aquarius, added to the lengthy sojourn of Uranus in Taurus, caught Venus in a vice-like grip. Venus may feel quite overwhelmed by the situation, which is certainly painful for an artist.

Saturn will stay in Aquarius until the summer before moving backwards into Capricorn. He will resume his attack in 2021, first sending a square to Venus, then to the Ascendant. Therefore, Saldana will need to be cautious and patient in expectation of more clement days, especially in the affective realm.
