Analysis of Susan Sarandon's astrological chart

Daily news regularly puts the spotlight on all sorts of famous people. Although we are not fond of juicy information, we inevitably have an idea about a given political figure, a movie star, a Royal Highness, or a skilled sportsman.

Those well-known faces draw our interest and seem familiar to us, because we watch their successes or their setbacks day by day.

Astrology may also be considered as an interesting filter to better define their personality, and to guess whether the events they experience are confirmed by their planets' activities. Astrology does not reveal everything, of course, but using the dominants and other peculiarities of the natal chart, we can see whether the astrological portrait matches the collective image or offers unsuspected additional nuances.

After David Cameron and Prince, here is an article about the intrepid Susan Sarandon.

Focus Astro celebrity: Susan Sarandon

Susan Sarandon is blessed with Libra's typical beauty, with a nice-featured face, sensuality, and a gorgeous figure though she is 69. Since Venus is conjunct the Midheaven, the ruler of the Sun, it is logical that she owes her career to her very attractive looks.

Before becoming an actress, she was a model, a first job which never damaged the esteem in which the professionals of the trade held her. Recently, Marc Jacobs, who is busy strengthening his brand after having left the management of Louis Vuitton, selected Sarandon to be the muse of his autumn-winter 2016 collection. Once again she imposes herself at an age when others become more withdrawn, but this is not her style. Indeed, she definitely prefers to be blunt, even if it means disturbing people.

To make her way to the top, she chose to mix with the right persons, a very Libra trait. She made a name for herself when she played naive Janet in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, an UFO and cult-film of 1975, which is now a classic of successful parody, blending genres.

After her career took off the ground, her best performances are always duets; she plays opposite Tim Curry in the film we just mentioned, but also with women like Shirley MacLaine in Loving Couples (1980), Gena Rowlands in Tempest, or Catherine Deneuve in The Hunger (1983) by Tony_Scott. And above all, Geena Davis in the feminist road movie Thelma and Louise.

Furthermore, her partners in real life are in the same trade. This passionate lady was first married to the actor and producer Chris Sarandon, from 1967 to 1979. She then committed herself with Tim Robbins for a longer time, and formed with him a mythic couple from 1988 to 2009. In other words, there are many examples of the fact that she almost always mixed work and love. They enable us to conclude that, in this regard, life has not always been a bed of roses. Saturn and Pluto, two planets having a not too good reputation, are in the 7th House, that of marriage. These planets form a tense aspect with Mars (in the 10th), a particularly challenging configuration. This provides tons of energy but heralds relationship problems in the area involved, particularly with males.

Fortunately, Jupiter and Saturn sextile the nice Sun-Neptune conjunction, providing a steady social basis to Sarandon's wildest dreams. Therefore, it is not surprising that she comes across as a strong outspoken woman, at times disturbing, far from Libra's typical gentleness.

After these observations, it is necessary to underline that the most tenanted sign in the chart is Scorpio, sheltering four planets and the Midheaven. Since the Sun is supported in the 8th House by three major aspects, the astrologer deduces that Sarandon's most significant experiences concern crises and their ensuing transformations. And it is true that at her age she probably has lived several lives. Born in a catholic and conservative family, she has opted for the cinema, a quite scandalous world, the main pillars of which are money and sex. Her affective life has caused brutal changes, since she has four children with three different men. An uncompromising and radical hardliner, she has never hesitated to send everything to hell whenever a new passion sprang up.

With an obvious will to shock moralisers, she is one of the first comedians who went further than just denouncing the ambient machismo. She clearly prefers men younger than herself and did not conceal this. Tim Robbins was 11 years her junior, and her last infatuation (she split from him) was 32 years younger.

However, the above cannot depict a personality of this ambitious lady, who never chose the easy way out. This is a mark of Capricorn posited on the Ascendant in the natal chart. the Moon in an angle, still in the 12th House, is part of the dominants and gives Sarandon a little vulnerable and touching side despite her stone-like looks. Even though she hides them well out of reserve, she is probably beset by powerful emotions which may affect her for years (double influence of Capricorn in the 12th House).

These last years, transits have not been too challenging, except for Saturn in Scorpio, who brought about effective "bereavements" both literally and figuratively. But as stated, she has the capacity to recover from nearly anything.

In 2016, it is necessary to pay attention to Mars' retrograde cycle, on Sarandon's MC in early July, which will enter the 10th House during the summer. This bodes well for renewed activity and energy, bearing in mind that, in the natal chart, Mars and Saturn send nice aspects to the Sun in Libra as well as to the pair of planets in Leo. Moreover, as soon as Jupiter enters Libra in early September, he should trigger a period when Sarandon is more in the spotlight, perhaps owing to the forthcoming fashion campaign. Let us not forget that she will then be a septuagenarian with flamboyant maturity.
