Analysis of Tyra Banks' astrological chart

Volcanic, unwilling to bite her tongue, and a wise businesswoman, this is the impression Tyra Banks gives us. This beautiful Afro-American, who used to be considered the rival of Naomi Campbell, sparked off photographers' flashes very early. She was hardly 15 when she started a career as a model, which led her to be now one of the most influential personalities in the world, according to Forbes. It is not surprising that she is mainly marked by Aries, even though her Sun is in Sagittarius: the 1st sign always intends to overtake the other signs!

Actually, Aries blows perfectly well on the incandescent embers of the centaur...

Why should we start by analysing this Fire sign? Because in Tyra Banks' chart, Aries shelters the Midheaven – the House providing clues to the social and professional destiny – as well as two planets of crucial importance. The first one is the Moon, ruler of the Ascendant.

From this fact, we deduct that the sweet and dreamy sides of Cancer fade rapidly, for the other characteristics of the portrait point to self-confidence devoid of serious complexes. The Moon in Aries, culminating and conjunct the Midheaven, is the most powerful planet of the chart. She denotes an interesting and very obvious emotional freshness. In addition, the Moon is about magnetism on crowds and audiences: precisely, the public "knighted" Banks by appreciating her numerous commercial campaigns in favour of popular brands, and her role as their ambassadress. She was one of the angels of Victoria's secret, an underwear brand matching the Cancer-mighty Moon combination. This position also echoes Banks' activities as a TV producer and presenter.

Her biography underscores that she has been noticed when she appeared in Oprah Winfrey's talk-show before she launched her own programmes, America's Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show, in which she loves to offer pieces of advice to all those who are dreaming of experiencing a similar life, or at least, of getting a makeover...

It is necessary to mention the top-model's outspokenness. With Aries in mind and Mars in the 10th House, Banks seldom treats people with kid-gloves. Recently, she declared loud and clear that she would have probably been richer if she had not been a model. "I probably would have made a hell of a lot more money by now. Because I have a personal brand, I have to worry about all this personal-image crap. I am constantly saying no to things because of it. If I didn't, child, I think I'd be in the billionaires' club", she told the New York Times.

Somehow, she had to dare to do so, since she started her career in this trade. Owing to her astrological characteristics, it is doubtless that she is not concerned about extending tokens of gratitude. After all, there is nothing wrong with being an Amazon, similarly to women who have the Sun in Sagittarius. In Banks' chart, the Sun is conjunct Neptune. She pursues her dream, driven by a Fire energy which stimulates those being in Aries. This is the reason why her chart has an outstanding potential: Banks is cut out for action, and she has strength of character as well as artistic gifts. Neptune connected with the luminaries gives a more human touch to this "mutant." This may explain her stand in favour of ecological projects.

Among the few difficult aspects of her chart, there is Pluto, angular at the Nadir. Secrets or anguish may weigh on her emotions – opposition to the Moon – but Banks is careful not to show her weaknesses. In the area of relationships, whether ordinary or romantic, Venus in Capricorn is not easy to deal with. The sign gives a rather cold and abrupt temperament, though faithful, especially because Venus is involved in a T-Square (tense aspect) with Mars and Uranus. With such a background, love affairs are experienced without serenity and calm. New challenges will always crop up, and there will be risks of violent splits.

It is most likely that since 2012, Tyra Banks underwent the pressures brought about by the Grand Square between Uranus and Pluto which hits strategic zones of the chart. Uranus transiting the natal Moon in 2015 may be the cause of her decision to leave the catwalks at that time.

She is currently in the eye of the storm, and she will need to pay attention to transiting Uranus reaching the conjunction with natal Mars. But this will occur in 2017.

Prior to this, in 2016, transiting Saturn in Sagittarius will force her to think about the passing of time. She may feel like withdrawing from the limelight in order to mature better. This will not unfold without problem, because Neptune will be hostile to his own natal position, and Jupiter will form tense aspects in the spring of 2016. In any case, this indicates adjustments only, not alarming perspectives.
