Analysis of Uma Thurman's astrological chart

What if gorgeous Uma has a fated forename? She was actually given one of the names of the Tibetan goddess of light and beauty. This is not surprising, since her father was a religion teacher and one of the first American men who was ordained a Buddhist monk and who became a disciple of the Dalai Lama. Uma Thurman's natal chart reflects quite strangely such a family background, both intellectual and bohemian.

Venus shines at the Midheaven, in the angular House of career, in Gemini. Uma Thurman personifies seduction, and all film-lovers remember her appearance in "The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen", an exact replica of Botticelli's painting, "The Birth of Venus". In the company of Mars, this Venus dominant endows her with an eroticism which is all the more powerful that it remains an eternal adolescent, according to Gemini's demand.

Uma Thurman is a concentration of eroticism and intellect, "the body of Jayne Mansfield and a horrifyingly great brain", as her partner Malkovich stated. Moreover, the double Mars-Venus conjunction is activated and amplified by a trine with Uranus. In the affective area, these peculiarities do not bring about stability, although she needs it because of her Sun in Taurus. In addition, the Earth element is the most important one in her chart. The craving for fulfilment is pressing, for this nervous nature needs to be reassured. The other dominant is Mercury, ruler of the Ascendant in Virgo, also conjunct the House of career, though still in the 9th House. In this position, the planet urges Thurman to stretch her limits. Thirst to learn, opening to different cultures, which she had been exposed to since a child, had enabled her to build her identity. She probably feels comfortable both in the academic world and in foreign countries.

Her third dominant, Neptune, indicates a few hurdles in the 4th House, which is related to her roots. Perhaps she feels some kind of nostalgia for the unlimited openness which she received through an education devoid of constraints, too idealistic to stand the test of the real world. Indeed, Neptune is opposed to her Mars-Venus duet. It may point to a difficulty to shift from the role of a spontaneous and much sought-after lover to that of a housewife.

To sum up, Venus, Mercury, and Neptune reveal the portrait of a woman blessed with real artistic, intellectual, and mystical qualities. While she is willing to build stable foundations, she is confronted with sudden changes, particularly in the romantic area.

Fortunately, her career as an actress enables her by proxy to live adventures in which her sensitivity and her emotional needs find good outlets! However, the evolution of her identity is not always easy, because her Aquarius Moon, very humanistic but detached, is in conflict with her Mercury and her Midheaven. It is as if she had to forsake her personal daily needs in order to find a sense of purpose in her work. It is most likely that she sometimes had the impression to be a robot or to pay the high price for her comfortable life – a feature Taurus finds crucial – to meet the requirements of her career. She appreciates that her talents are given recognition, and she did imposed herself as an icon of the 7th Art. Nevertheless, she sometimes displays a reserve which may come across as coldness, if we rely on the Virgo Ascendant - Aquarius Moon equation.

Although she was more discreet these last years, Uma Thurman probably preferred to experience personal happiness. Jupiter transiting her Venus in her 10th House translated into giving birth to a baby girl in July 2012, with millionaire Arpad Busson as the father. Simultaneously, the Lunar North Node transiting her 4th House indicated that she perhaps made the good choice by publicly displaying her serenity without worrying about movies.

She presently enjoys the transit of Neptune entering the House of marriage and contracts. Neptune is all the more auspicious because he is supported by Saturn (construction) and because he plays an important role in the natal chart.

The general context, quite challenging during the first semester of 2014, does not seem to concern her. It is worth noting that she will be able to rely on the soft aspects which will make life easier to the Earth signs in 2017, 2018, and further. In other words, with patience Uma Thurman will undoubtedly reap the concrete fruits of wisdom. Finally, with regard to secondary progressions, the Moon will reach Uranus in the course of 2014, and the Sun will trine the Moon. This may confirm that her unconventional choices eventually pay up.
