Analysis of Drew Barrymore's astrological chart

With her perpetual child-like face, Drew Barrymore is among the people whose natal chart is rather consistent. Indeed, the majority of the elements of analysis are convergent.

Firstly, the actress is influenced by the Sun in Pisces sitting on the Midheaven (the career) and forming many aspects. The influence of the 12th sign endows her with a deeply humanist temperament with sometimes mysterious and blurred motivations. These characteristics are strengthened by the fact that Neptune, ruler of Pisces, is part of the dominants.

Then, the Ascendant in Gemini highlights the mutable and fast mode. With this Pisces-Gemini combination, the first impression and Barrymore's deep nature indicate exceptional adaptation skills. Or even some instability, depending on the moment of life considered, since she is mainly governed by two double-bodied signs! In addition, the Moon in Cancer, therefore in domicile and powerful, shows her presence through Barrymore's facial features, as mentioned above. Owing to this Pisces-Gemini blend and the Moon in Cancer touch, she is easily influenced by her environment. At first sight, she comes across as sociable, settled, talkative, funny, and even the life of the party. Nevertheless, the Pisces background probably prevents her from expressing herself as rationally as she may wish. Overwhelmed by her emotions, impressionable, she loves to dream and to imagine that people are able to follow her reveries and her ravings.

Precocious for all these reasons, Drew Barrymore started in the cinema at the age of six and became successful, as everyone knows, in the role of the little girl who was the friend of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. A solid gold role for a Pisces, an esoteric sign attracted to extra-sensorial communication!

Born in the cinema world, with Steven Spielberg for sponsor, Drew Barrymore was unfortunately exposed to celebrity early – too early? Before she was 10, she already experienced the 12th sign flaws, and tried alcohol and cannabis. Cocaine followed, and to get rid of it, she had to undergo a drug detoxification treatment. In hindsight, we may think that several features of her chart might have incited rebellion. Mercury in Aquarius also gives a slightly eccentric mind, curious, and interested in anything different. Sextiling Neptune, the mental planet becomes more flexible and gets interested in promises which take away from reality... The advantage is that artistic inclination and inspiration are strengthened. The downside is the will to experiment anything. However, unlike other stars who succeeded her, it must be acknowledged, today, that the actress has been able to get back on her feet. A few years ago, she successfully found her way back to the studios, and she seems serene now. Keeping the best part of her astrological "trademark", she is deeply artistic, but she knew how to keep her demons under control. She was probably helped by her Sun in the 10th House, because he gives her natural pride, while the exact trine with Uranus in Scorpio indicates that she is able to prepare terrific surprises.

But this is not all. It is necessary to mention the importance of Water signs in the natal chart, precisely, which represent more than half of the values of the whole chart. The area of feelings, sensations, and emotions is prevailing. With a big heart, Barrymore is a buddy full of empathy and willing to help other people. However, her spontaneous kindness may be accompanied by mood swings which people cannot understand, or by some strangeness.

Getting back to her career, in addition to the strong Sun in the 10th, it is worth mentioning the nice Venus-Jupiter conjunction at the end of Pisces. Ideally posited in this sign, both planets confirm Barrymore's generosity and some degree of good luck despite excesses, and a real willingness to be happy. After having gone through numerous love affairs, she got married and gave birth to her second daughter in the spring of 2014. Therefore, like in her professional area, stability enabled her to find a happy outcome to her quests. With the Moon conjunct Saturn, it must be underlined that some degree of moral rigour guides her choices in her private life, that she is probably a resolute mother who cares for her children and protects them against her public life. We can assume that she had an excellent year 2013 when she was expecting, since she benefitted more than other people from the Water Grand Trine formed by Neptune, Jupiter, and Saturn, as romantic and tender as could be.

However, by the end of 2015, but more particularly in 2016, transiting Saturn in Sagittarius may prove quite tricky to deal with for Barrymore since she is influenced by mutable signs. Precisely, she may feel that these structures are heavy. A period of thinking, or of decisions, or of difficult reassessment will start for her.

Regarding secondary progressions, there are several interesting elements, even in retrospect. When E.T. was released, in 1982, in the progressed chart, the Moon was on Uranus in the 5th House. How could it be possible to herald more clearly a dramatic turn of events for a child? Then, more recently, we notice the confirmation of this prosperous period occurring between 2012 and 2013 with the progressed Ascendant joining the Moon in Cancer. So, it is likely that the Moon plays a major role in Barrymore's directions, which underlines that the Moon does have an important place among the dominants.
