Analysis of Michelle Pfeiffer's astrological chart

With her slim face, her large enquiring eyes, and her sylph-like silhouette, Michelle Pfeiffer seems to belong to the dry and nervous type, according to the planetary typology devised by French astrologer André Barbault. Born with the Sun in Taurus, the actress is not very representative of this sign, for no other planet is found there. Moreover, the Sun forms a tense aspect, a square, with Uranus. Therefore, this very intellectual planet, associated with the 7th art, disturbs Taurus' normally placid temperament.

The Ascendant in Gemini blesses her with her youthful appearance, which seems to effortlessly stand the test of time. This also applies to her life choices. Thus, she became famous with "Grease II", an amusing celebration of live in an American campus. Interestingly, this genuine Californian marvellously exploits the voice qualities of Taurus and the graceful gestures of Gemini in order to shine in the parts of a singer or in musicals. Indeed, we remember her breathtaking performance when she sang "Feelings", languorously lying on the piano, in "The Fabulous Baker Boys". Later on, after having deserted film sets during several years, she made a great come-back with "Hairspray", another musical. She facetiously plays the role of a former beauty queen turned nasty, as to thumb her nose at her own status.

Having said this, Michelle Pfeiffer's chart ought to be analysed chiefly on the basis of its planetary dominants, because three of them are in angular Houses. The most potent one, Mars, culminating in Pisces, gives Pfeiffer the willpower to take the reins of her destiny. Which she is quite proud of, since she readily recounts that she used to be a supermarket cashier before she was discovered. It is probable that such a brilliant Mars at the top of her chart, in the inspired sign of Pisces, prompted her to imagine a more Hollywood-like destiny. The planet is favourably linked to Neptune who is posited in Scorpio in the 5th House, the House of passions, but is opposed to Pluto in the 4th House. Pluto also brings his dark and secret streak. In this position, he suggests a taste for intimacy that is not easy to perceive. The Mars-Pluto confrontation may be the price to be paid for the sort of profession Pfeiffer dreamed of, even though she certainly was not fascinated by its superficial glamour.

On the other hand, despite its tension, this aspect highlights the actress' combativeness, especially since Mars in Leo forms a nice trine with Mercury. Although she has been turned down at the beginning of her career, it is quite obvious that she came back through the window instead of the door... It is also owing to this configuration that she rapidly quitted the roles of a foil in order to play tormented heroines who die for love. Who has forgotten the young woman affected by a curse which enabled her to rise to fame in "Ladyhawke"? And in the same vein, perhaps more sarcastic but also marked by the Plutonian world, she shone in "Scarface" and gave the line to the other witches of Eastwick. She was also a widow, though not too much, just enough to ridicule this character trait, thanks to her Gemini Ascendant. In addition, she played in historical films in which she was slowly consumed by romantic passions, like Madame Tourvel in "Dangerous Liaisons", and the lonely woman of "The Age of Innocence"...

Therefore, there is a real Saturnian tone in Michelle Pfeiffer's chart, and we are not surprised to find Saturn in the 7th House, the third angularity. When she was in her twenties, but not yet thirty, the actress often confessed that she concentrated so much on her work, shooting a succession of films, that she messed up all her love affairs. She was deeply convinced that she would never form a stable couple, and she anticipated this fact by adopting alone a little girl. What a bloody failure complex...

However, destiny enjoys playing tricks on Sun in Taurus-Gemini Ascendant-Venus in Pisces (Venus could hardly be more sentimental than in this position), and sent Mr. Right to Pfeiffer shortly after the adoption. Since then, she has been forming a stable family thriving far from the limelight. All Michelle had to do was to rely on Saturn's reward!

Now, has she overcome the doubts that plagued her for a long time, another consequence of her quite strong Virgo Moon? Probably yes, since the latter, in good aspect with the Sun, endows her with common sense and pragmatism, and will improve over time.

In 2013, Pfeiffer enjoyed, and still enjoys, soft aspects in Water signs. Neptune is still conjunct Mars, which explains her desire to give a new impulse to her career, now that her children have left the home. It was well supported by Jupiter, who is now taking care of her Venus. Pleasant transits, thus, which herald a period of good luck. In addition, she is unlikely to suffer too much from the slow-moving configurations occurring during the first semester of 2014. Therefore, life should flow smoothly, with one foot firmly anchored in the cinema, and another one, in her private activities.
