Analysis of Jodie Foster's astrological chart

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.

After Jake Gyllenhaal and Sharon Tate, here is an article about the complex Jodie Foster.

Focus Astro celebrity: Jodie Foster

Different. The personality of Jodie Foster matches the outcome of the analysis of her horoscope.

Born in Los Angeles, she grew up surrounded by cameras and rose to fame with Taxi Driver when she was only 12. One can but think of other child stars like Drew Barrymore or, more recently, Miley Cyrus. There is no need to add to the list in order to underline the difference.

Despite her ethereal fairness and her Californian style, Jodie Foster never played the starlet. Her path was more oriented towards studies and work and marked with discretion. Unfortunately, anyone having the Sun in Scorpio is unlikely to go unnoticed. Her role as a prostituted minor in Scorsese's film is quite typical of the tendencies of this magnetic sign. It earned her the privilege to enter the cinema hall of fame but also to elicit reactions she could have lived very well without, such as being stalked for years by an unbalanced man, finally arrested.

What the astrologer immediately finds striking in Foster's chart is the tight Venus-Neptune conjunction in the 8th sign. Therefore, there is an obvious combination of illusion, romanticism, and love, in the absence of gentleness, since Scorpio is the emblem of passion.

Venus and Neptune are in tense aspects with Mars, who is Venus' partner in the mythological couple, and who is posited in Leo. Both fixed signs thwart one another and refuse to budge. Leo tries to assert itself loud and clear whereas Scorpio, equally ambitious, wishes to spin its web in the darkness. In Jodie Foster's case, the planets involved (Venus, Neptune, and Mars) are related to artistic and love matters.

Therefore, it is not surprising that she excelled in many thrillers and even in devilish films, among which The silence of the lambs, the cult film which earned her two Oscars. As she played the part of Clarice Starling, the actress, always excellent, managed to exploit all the subtlety of her own torments. Besides, during the promotion campaign of the film, she confided that she prepared herself very carefully by drawing on memories which helped her nurture the ambiguous relationship between the murderer and her: "In early childhood, we go through a series of things which influence our reactions for the rest of our live: the little disasters, the tragedies we undergo may prompt someone to murder people and prompt someone else to try to save them."

To provide an additional example of these Venus, Neptune and Mars aspects, this time related to her private life, let's recall that most people knew that Jodie Foster was a homosexual woman. Nevertheless, her coming out at the Golden Globes in 2013 spread across the world. She then paid homage to her former partner, with whom she had adopted two children. Whereas her fans and her peers were moved, some people were deeply shocked! In any case, with the Scorpio emphasis and the importance of Mars in Leo, the actress' personality is strong enough to ignore the negative feedback.

Should an extra argument be needed in favour of her accepted "difference", the Moon in Virgo sticking to Uranus may give a clue. This planet-sign combination, which could indicate celibacy, brings a cerebral and less emotional note (because controlled) to this Moon. One may even talk about sublimation, since the aspect is in the 9th House, that of faraway matters. For Foster, distancing herself is achieved through thinking, and adoption is probably a good way to experience her maternal desires quite differently – because she is deeply influenced by the Water element, which is a fertile sign.

Despite the extreme and sometimes tortured facets of her sign, Jodie Foster is also a bon viveur. She retains this capacity thanks to Jupiter, who is definitely prominent in her natal chart. On the one hand, he rules the Ascendant in Sagittarius, a positive and enthusiastic sign. On the other hand, his position in the 3rd House, also in exact opposition to the Moon, prompts Foster to enjoy the nice aspects of life through exchanges, higher education, or travels.

With a good command of French and a degree in literature, Foster got from France her taste for camembert cheeses and fine Bordeaux wines. Once again, her declarations go against proprieties. Indeed, here is an American actress who is very unlikely to praise the virtues of detoxification treatments or all sorts of restrictions.

Let's add that the energetic Ascendant and the power of Jupiter enable this Scorpio lady to be in the mainstream. Her chart includes many promises of success and good luck that she managed to exploit with all her intelligence (a strong IQ of 132, as reported).

These years, Jodie Foster integrated the nature of Saturn, who transited her Scorpio planets and is still in her 12th House. As we can see, the overall outcome is positive, since people paid homage to her career. Besides, her private life also is going through a constructive phase with a marriage in spring 2014.

Transiting Jupiter on her Mars in Leo, in good aspect with her Ascendant in Sagittarius, will keep her on this upward trend during the first semester of 2015. When this dominant planet enters Virgo, the impact on her natal Moon must be carefully analysed. Is an adoption in sight?

Later on, in the course of 2016, transiting Saturn on the Ascendant, sometimes synonymous with ordeals, seems to be countered by mighty support. Will Jodie Foster take a new step towards wisdom? It is most likely that she will.
