Analysis of Johnny Hallyday's astrological chart

One might wonder whether Johnny Hallyday is made of steel, and moreover, stainless steel. The French singer, who skirted death in 2009, has fully recovered, and he is in top form for his tour. Actually, he ushered in his seventies with flying colours, with two performances scheduled on his birthday evening! If this is not a Gemini way to pass this milestone, then there must be an error in the birth data... Seriously, his complex chart reveals a personality which is even more complex than the quick idea one may get.

The first glance confirms the overall feeling: the youth idol is twice Mercurian, since in addition to his Sun, the Ascendant in Virgo emphasises Mercury. Furthermore, his Mercury is in domicile in Gemini, conjunct Uranus and sextile Jupiter-Pluto. This aspect may also be extended to Venus, since she is also conjunct Pluto (see further down), with an acceptable orb of 7 degrees. Therefore, all these elements concur to draw the portrait of an eternal adolescent, spontaneous, curious, talkative, who needs to be continuously surrounded by all sorts of different people.

This Mercury, the focus of attention because he is one of the main keys of this chart, is linked to slow-moving planets. This is the reason why Hallyday is a rocker, a real one, connected to big collective trends. Uranus highlights the originality of his career, which takes him to the four corners of the world, since both planets are posited in the 9th House, the house of travels.

Pluto imprints his mark on Hallyday's mind, secretive and tormented, and is also involved in his love life, the astrological description of which is enlightening. With Venus in Leo, Hallyday wants “the most beautiful girl in the neighbourhood”, even though it costs much suffering and jealousy. Besides, his sentimentality is marked by the same seal, since the Moon, the symbol of his emotions and his personal ideal of woman, is in Scorpio. It is likely that Hallyday's mother has been unable to provide him with serenity. Hence his strong fear of being abandoned, although he may feel ashamed of this so-called weakness.

Let's look at his other face. Like Janus, the juvenile mask is completed by an elder man's face, since a powerful Saturn culminates in the chart. It is the sign of a career inscribed in the long-term, even though nothing has been easy or light to achieve this result. This is unfortunate for his Mercury, incidentally. Yet, it is to Saturn that he owes his reputation and the fidelity of his fans who have been following him from one generation to the other.

As for his transits, it is interesting to note that the chart of his upcoming 71st year indicates intense planetary activity on the important spots of the natal chart. Jupiter, who has passed his Midheaven, then his Sun in Gemini, guarantee the huge reconnaissance that Hallyday is currently harvesting. The tour was an indisputable success!

However, Mars challenges him quite a bit. Indeed, in the natal chart, Mars' position gives cause for concern. He indicates a propensity for burning the candle at both ends. Excesses are part of the personage. Hallyday is now striving to shine on stage. He may feel the effects of this during the summer of 2013, when Mars forms a harsh transit to natal Mars, against the backdrop of the much talked-about mundane Uranus-Pluto square. The beginning of 2014 also heralds difficult phases, even though Jupiter remains supportive.

On the other hand, he may rest assured that his love life is more serene, from now on.
