Analysis of Penélope Cruz's astrological chart

The look of Penélope Cruz does not contradict her astrological chart: the actress is definitely the embodiment of extreme femininity. Most of the features of her chart point in the same direction and emphasise the capacity for success in love, sharing, and maternity. This does not imply that this Spaniard is not committed in her career and that she is not action-oriented. However, her basics needs are more about her private life.

Penélope Cruz has the Sun in Taurus and the Ascendant in Aries. But Cancer is at the top of her dominants, since in addition, it shelters three planets, including the Moon, posited in the fourth House, that of the Self and of the first overall impression one gives. With her Bambi eyes, her jet-black hair, and her uninhibited curves, the actress comes across as a comforting enchantress, both familiar and sweet. What is striking and typical of the 4th zodiacal sign is the role of the family in her itinerary. First of all, blood relationships. She is the eldest of three siblings, namely Monica then Eduardo, whom she is very close to. She prepared a fashion collection with her sister, who also follows in Penélope's footsteps as an acclaimed model actress. During her childhood, which she describes as simple and happy, she developed quite early a passion for acting, and a streak of good luck enabled her to make her first steps on film sets when she was a teenager. This is how she found her second family, that of cinema. Thanks to Almodovar, she rose to fame and was praised by critics. She was loyal, with several parts which she played during many years, despite a career which also began to take off in Hollywood.

In this universe, we remember that she once lived with Tom Cruise, but it is mainly with Javier Bardem that she achieved a perfect balance, by forming a couple both in the cinema and in real life, since they are now the parents of two children. The two Spanish celebrities managed to juggle with their duties and their private life, thanks to a common approach of things: « Our family is our priority », Penélope Cruz firmly states in all her interviews. Nevertheless, this Taurus-Cancer lady goes even further and frankly confessed to the magazine Allure that "breastfeeding is an addiction. I suckled my son until he was 13 months, and I plan to do the same with my daughter. It is always very hard when the day comes when you have to stop." It is impossible to be more Cancer with the Moon in this sign and in the fourth house!

Along the same lines, Penélope Cruz experiences her affective relationships in a totally symbiotic mode, owing to her outstanding Venus in Pisces. Venus is separating from Jupiter and may be considered to be conjunct the Midheaven (the career), and trine the Ascendant. It is difficult to add up so many positive Venusian features. Therefore, it is not surprising that her beauty and her charm lit up the screen. She was amazing in her first roles, like in "Jamón, Jamón" or "Tie me up". She was in love in several films, for instance in "Vanilla Sky", "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides", or "Broken embraces". She also made good use of her past experience as a ballerina to win the best supporting actress Oscar in a film inspired by the musical "Nine". This is very much Venus-Pisces!

However, as we underlined, Penélope Cruz has a couple of sharper weapons which enabled her to impose herself in the most difficult circles. Indeed, a tight Mars-Saturn conjunction in the 3rd House provides her with better than average resistance capacities, as well as with some sort of hidden melancholy. Obviously, she is reluctant to reveal her secrets, and she guards them jealously. This character trait is confirmed by a tough aspect to Pluto who symbolises deeply buried passions (the House and the planet). Fortunately, Jupiter lends a helpful hand with a beautiful trine which contributes to ease any possible tension. In a nutshell, it is just natural that this Spanish lady with humble origins, and born far from Hollywood, achieved a more than enviable career even though she is not spurred by wild ambitions. Indeed, according to her natal chart, she aims for nonchalant success and uses a subtle blend of soft aspects and some others which are more difficult to deal with.

Presently, she seems to be blossoming in every area. Throughout 2013, she benefits from the transit of Jupiter in Cancer and from the beautiful Jupiter-Saturn trine, which strengthens the natal aspect between these two planets in water signs. In early 2014, she will probably not escape some stress caused by the cardinal Grand Cross in sensitive Houses (4th, 6th, 10th, and 12th), although no natal key planets will be affected. Looking at secondary progressions, the Moon, the most important planet of her chart, opposed Mercury in 2013. Undoubtedly, the opportunity to enjoy a boost in popularity which may lead her to stretch herself too thin. These complementary factors should prompt her to get enough rest and to keep the natural confidence that is specific to Taurus.
