Daily news regularly puts the spotlight on all sorts of famous people. Although we are not fond of juicy information, we inevitably have an idea about a given political figure, a movie star, a Royal Highness, or a skilled sportsman.
Those well-known faces draw our interest and seem familiar to us, because we watch their successes or their setbacks day by day.
Astrology may also be considered as an interesting filter to better define their personality, and to guess whether the events they experience are confirmed by their planets' activities. Astrology does not reveal everything, of course, but using the dominants and other peculiarities of the natal chart, we can see whether the astrological portrait matches the collective image or offers unsuspected additional nuances.
So, as spring is dawning, we open a new section, Celebrity Focus, dedicated to news about famous people. We launch it with the greatest soccer player of the moment, David Beckham.
You can also read all the articles about personalities who hit the headlines.
Since he joined Paris Saint-Germain, the British striker David Beckham has been the centre of attention. According to experts, his technique is very special and characterised above all by its precision and its long games. But the interest he arouses goes far beyond soccer, which does not reduce his qualities.
At the age when other players retire, Beckham seems brimming with projects and never departs from his very British courtesy. Besides, he is equally comfortable when he plays a video game with one of his sons and when he poses for photographs.
With the Sun and the Ascendant in Taurus, Beckham is deeply influenced by this sign, which endows him with a robust health and the will to work. His scale of values, much more traditional than what some people thought when he first started, is also very Taurus. This can be noticed by looking at his quite stable and family-centred private life.
On the other hand, his slim face and his liveliness are the signature of Mercury, his first strong dominant. He owes Mercury the dexterity with which he touches the ball, but also his capacity to communicate with ease. His numerous contracts with various sponsors, as well as the fact that he enjoys playing collective games, also fall in Mercury's department. In addition, his angular Mercury on the Ascendant trines his second dominant, the Moon, which culminates in his chart.
David Robert Joseph Beckham, (born 2 May 1975 in London (birth time source: Sy Scholfield, from the biography ‘David Beckham My Son’ by Ted Beckham, (Boxtree, 2005), page ten.) is an English professional footballer who currently plays for Real Madrid and the England national football team.
Beckham was named as a member of Pelé's FIFA 100. In addition to his success on the pitch, Beckham has...
To sum up, Beckham has a Mercury-Moon profile on a Taurus background, i.e. a very instinctive component. Therefore, it is not surprising that he feels so comfortable with youths as well as with his own children, whom he dearly loves.
It is most likely that the Paris Saint-Germain's new recruit is currently experiencing a very pleasant personal period, owing to the transit of Jupiter in his 1st House. In this position, the planet gives him the assurance required for the role of ambassador. When it conjuncts Beckham's Venus next May, there is no doubt that spring will be lovely.
What's next? The sky will keep on pouring favours on Beckham during the coming months, including when Jupiter enters Cancer, on June 27, 2013. After summer, as Jupiter teams up with Saturn in Scorpio, they will form a quite promising Water grand trine.
