More discreet in the cinema world during the past few years, the unforgettable interpreter of Bridget Jones is preparing her comeback, with several film releases as early as 2015.
She has already started walking down a few red carpets, and she straight away set off an avalanche of comments evaluating her physical transformation. Although we do not address this issue here, astrology reveals that none of this is surprising: Renée Zellweger seems to be born for the purpose of commanding attention with her metamorphoses.
To play Bridget Jones, she did not hesitate to put on some 20 kilos, whereas she used to be almost skinny prior to this. Unintentionally, she created a kind of new challenge meant for comedians, which was actually taken up by one of her colleagues from the outset, Matthew McConaughey.
This can be explained by the position of a powerful Pluto in the 1st House and in Virgo, a prominent sign in the natal chart. Pluto harbours an almost obsessive concern about personal or bodily perfection, since her image is the main tool for her work as an artist. Undoubtedly, with Jupiter also posited in the 1st House, Renée Zellweger is very likely to move heaven and earth so as to look the way she wants to, at a given moment, and for a given mission.
Let us get back to the most striking features of her horoscope.
The Earth element is clearly outstanding and amounts to more than a half of the overall sum of the four elements. As a Taurus with the Ascendant in Virgo, Zellweger is fond of concrete actions, efficiency, and pragmatism. At first sight, the sign of Virgo suggests a certain nervousness, all the more perceptible that Mercury is the most important planet of the chart. If we add the Plutonian note already mentioned, nervousness may turn into anxiety. Lack of confidence may have been a heavy burden, particularly when she was young. On the other hand, her temperament, symbolised by Taurus' values, rather shows a tendency towards balance and serenity. Since Virgo is cerebral and Taurus is more prone to follow its instincts, the two signs form a coherent personality, for they have many points in common (Earth).
Mercury, the Ascendant ruler, in his solar sign enhances the general functioning of Zellweger's personality and endows her with the ability to adjust her intellect to her deep impulses.
On the whole, the chart indicates significant potential strength. Firstly, Taurus gives endurance and hard-working capacities when it is positively experienced. Then, two slow-moving collective planets in the 1st House, Pluto and Jupiter, act as a catalyst and enable Zellweger to assert her ego. In other words, this daughter of European immigrants who grew up in Texas knew what she wanted right from the start and seems to always have a good head on her shoulders.
In addition, good luck helped her break through quite rapidly. As a good Plutonian, it is in Texas Chainsaw Massacre that she landed one of her first noticeable roles.
There is an equally important feature in her chart. In addition to the highlighted Earth element, Renée Zellweger can rely on a nice Fire trine linking the Moon in Leo with Mars in Sagittarius, and Venus in Aries. Since the Moon-Mars aspect is very tight, it really “signs” the birth chart. It indicates a great deal of impulsiveness and the habit of flying off the handle. Even though her nature is calm, kind, and poised as delineated earlier, in the affective area, instincts and passion take the lead. Renée Zellweger is subject to love at first sight, irrational enthusiasm, and she is attracted to men of such similar type. Very quietly, she has had several love affairs with the great seducers of the cinema industry, such as George Clooney, Jim Carrey, or Bradley Cooper.
A Fire characteristic which marks her emotional temperament: in 2005, she stayed married four months only with a country singer!
Today, she claims to be serene and at peace. As usual, she says nothing about her private life, but we know that she lives with a childhood friend, Eric Clapton's guitarist. Owing to her Moon in Fire and her Venus in Aries, the actress contrasts with the politically correct declarations of her colleagues. She readily confessed that she has never dreamed of becoming a mother. Unless she changes her mind, it's all said and done.

Recently, her Venus in Aries was probably challenged by the conjunction of transiting Uranus and the weight of Pluto's square which is subsiding, fortunately. The planetary climate of the end of 2014 indicates a transition which will last some time, but she can rely on the transit of Jupiter in Leo, who will enhance her emotional balance when he will return on her Moon in February 2015.
2016 is the year which promises to be really exciting, owing to the transit of Neptune on her Descendant, in spring, while Jupiter will be in the 1st House. The relationship axis will be particularly activated by the two planets of expansion. In their position, Jupiter and Neptune are quite positive. However, Zellweger will probably need to choose between her personal development and her empathy for people. It may also bring about a wonderful role in a film which will enable her to enjoy renewed public success.
