Analysis of Julia Roberts' astrological chart

Should a poll be organised to ask people what Julia Roberts' astrological dominants are, it is most likely that everyone would be puzzled. Indeed, with her beanpole look and her stunning grin, the actress, who made a big splash in "Pretty Woman", seems very solar. What a surprise! Actually, she is a typical Scorpio with the Ascendant in a Water sign too, in the last degrees of Cancer. The first indications suggest introversion, particularly considering that Virgo is very strong, and that the majority of planets are in the Northern hemisphere... Patience. We shall get back to this to understand why, in fact, it is very logical.

Let us pay attention to this famous appearance which seems to have influenced her career. With her auburn hair fluttering in the wind, her quite deep and poised voice, her open features, extroverted, Julia Roberts proves to be magnetic – she owes this to Scorpio – and knows very well how to use it. Since there is no planet on the Ascendant, we check its ruler, the Moon. She is in Leo, conjunct Jupiter, and sends a nice trine to the Midheaven, the House of career. We start to understand why Roberts displays a certain air of dignity and confidence when she is in public. Each and every day, she can give thanks to such a favourable Moon, who granted the crowds' lasting craze, even when she appeared less often on the screen. In the 2nd House, and allied to Jupiter, the Moon also blessed her with a more than comfortable sources of income. She was the first woman to earn as much as her male colleagues, and she remains the highest-earning Hollywood star. With fees amounting to over 20 million per film, since Erin Brockovich...

Since quite some time, she has stopped hitting the headlines with her whims. She prefers to live a simple family life, patiently built, away from the cinema Mecca. No flashy palace, but organic farms where she grows vegetables, knits, and cooks nice little dishes. Such modest ambitions, in fact. We are at the core of the Roberts paradox, a formidable and demanding businesswoman regarding her roles, like all Scorpios. So, Julia Roberts negotiates fiercely her deals, her pay, as well as her appearances, but in return, she wants to be left alone. Let us not forget that Neptune, associated with the cinema, is also in that sign, in conflict with the Moon. Mercury is equally important: for instance, she berated the paparazzi who get in her way, thus confirming that the Scorpio female is never at a loss for words, and that she does not let people walk all over her without fighting back. However, she probably underwent a few disillusions, probably the price to pay for her fame – the tension between the Moon in Leo and Neptune in Scorpio – which she mainly suffered from during her youth: cancelled marriage to Kiefer Sutherland, numerous lovers (the praying mantis is always around when the Sun is in the 8th House...), and capacity for polemics.

Apart from these characteristics, when the planets in Virgo and the Ascendant in Cancer gain the upper hand, it is most likely that Julia Roberts expresses her real ego: a quite gentle woman who appreciates nothing more than a quiet life in a warm home. And who stands up bitterly for ecology, a very Virgoan matter.

Besides, far from the image of the scandalous post-Pretty Woman starlet, after having seduced the husband of someone she did not know, Julia Roberts henceforth becomes more stable. She has been married for over ten years with the father of her three children, some sort of record in Hollywood! Since she is clear-headed, she readily acknowledges that extraordinary good luck guided her steps, both professional and private. It is probably mostly caused by the brilliant Moon-Jupiter applying conjunction, whereas the whole chart rather suggests simplicity, disgust for ostentation, and as mentioned, quest for truth. It does not matter if her already long career is based on a misunderstanding. The popularity noticeable in the chart protects her. Because, last but not least, Mars is strong in Capricorn and provides sheer obstinacy as well as outstanding hard-working ability. The planet points to a quite mystical Saturn in Aries in the 9th House. In short, the actress' assets enable her to stand the test of time. She has it all!

Currently, in early 2014, Miss Lucky experiences a beautiful and exact trine from Neptune in Pisces to her natal Sun. As a result, it is most likely that she will shine at the Awards ceremony or at the box-office, or in any case with the releases occurring throughout the year. One transit to beware of is Uranus passing over her natal Saturn in the 9th House, although it may not be too serious because it has a collective nature (slow-moving planets). Roberts may decide to shake up certain ideas or projects connected with foreign lands, since it is the 9th House. Not without a few tensions.

Finally, Julia Roberts will also enjoy a new positive phase this forthcoming summer when Jupiter crosses her Ascendant in August. Gifts from the heavens and well-being are more and more on the agenda as Jupiter progresses in Leo, getting nearer to the natal Moon and then to natal Jupiter in 2015.
