In Friends, Rachel was the best friend worldwide from 1994 to 2004. It is not surprising that the person who embodied her was born with the Sun in Aquarius. Indeed, Jennifer Aniston's most important planet is posited in the 11th zodiacal sign.
It is interesting to note that her roles seem to be inspired by several periods of her real life. Thus, at the beginning of Friends, just after having split with her fiancé on the wedding day, Rachel arrives in a New York apartment to meet a childhood friend. This perfectly fits the Aquarius component, especially considering that Jennifer's Ascendant is in Libra, which strengthens her sociability since it emphasises the Air element.
Moreover, Mercury, the most prominent planet of her chart, is in early Aquarius, linked to Uranus and more particularly to Jupiter. This Mercurian influence, blended with Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius, indicates that her mind prompts her to react with the originality and the humour of this sign. Therefore, Jennifer is able to convincingly play the role of a buddy and a fashionable, funny girl. People readily include her in their guest list, because she always behaves properly, neither too much nor too little.
The series earned her fame, but it also took up all her time before it would let her turn into the cinema. And here again, it was as if she were limited to act in comedies which stage with some irony the ups and downs of man-woman relations...
To get more details, it is necessary to delineate the Sun's aspects, which provide very positive but also quite difficult clues. The Sun-Mars square, conjunct Neptune in Scorpio, describes accurately difficulties with the male partner (father, husband, or lover). This configuration, at the core of the natal chart, is a revealing echo of the scandal which followed the end of her marriage. Whereas she was successful in everything in the '90s (those years have strong Capricorn and Aquarius overtones which suited her fine), in 2005, Brad Pitt suddenly left her for Angelina Jolie. Scorpio adds its sleazy hue, and Neptune, illusions, which suggests an overall unhealthy climate made of gossips and clans. In those days, it seemed that everyone had to take the side of either woman. Once again, Aniston's planets do point to something of a collective nature, including in her romantic life.
However, Aniston may also behave as a real Amazon with her Venus in Aries and her Moon in Sagittarius. She even fell head over heels in love many times, just to discover that it was a flash in the pan. But she is probably endowed with the pride which characterises Fire signs refusing to be defeated: she is also Don Quixote!
Furthermore, she is blessed with a considerable asset. She is lucky enough to have her luminaries, the Sun and the Moon, in soft aspect with Saturn. This feature is a good omen for her balance, her life discipline, and her ability to improve herself as she ages. Actually, once she has cleared misunderstandings – being considered as America's fiancée, then as Brad Pitt's cheated lover and doomed to romantic failure – Jennifer Aniston may realise, if it is not already the case, that she is able to stand on her own feet without the help of anyone, and certainly not of a male. However, this is no easy task for her Libra Ascendant! The blend of strength and vulnerability often comes up in what she expresses. In her interviews, Jennifer Aniston knows how to laugh at her fears and her weaknesses. For instance, she confided that in the future, she might be less present before the cameras, for mature woman roles are becoming scarce... or are assigned to Meryl Streep! Fortunately, Aniston's career seemed solidly rooted, since Mars, Neptune, and Pluto are favourably disposed in this regard.

What about the future? Although it is true that her Venus received tough transits by the Uranus-Pluto the Grand Square a few years ago, luckily, the trend is shifting. The gorgeous aspect forming in the course of the second semester of 2014 between Jupiter, in the House of career, and Uranus, still in Aries but separating from Venus, is promising. It may translate into surprising and exciting daily events as well as nice projects. Simultaneously, she still undergoes the transit of Saturn in a tricky area – end of Scorpio – on Mars then on Neptune. But Saturn will grant her a respite soon.
Regarding what will come next, it is quite difficult to make a prediction for Aniston, who has the Sun in Aquarius, since the ruler, Uranus, the planet of unexpected events precisely, will be highlighted and will reach Aniston's relationship axis in 2016. Whether she marries or not, it is certain that coups de théâtre are on the agenda. In 2017, as Jupiter transits her Ascendant, he may bring about new fulfilment.
