Analysis of Vanessa Paradis' astrological chart

Vanessa Paradis has been enjoying a special place in the French people's hearts since she played a cheerful role in Joe le Taxi. Her fame progressively spread worldwide, owing to her durable love story with Johnny Depp, and also thanks to her long collaboration with Chanel. Her career is quite unusual, oscillating between strength and fragility, a trend which is confirmed by her chart and its contradictions. With her Sun in Capricorn, Vanessa Paradis is endowed with the sign's calm, cautious, but also ambitious temperament. She is also, or even more, influenced by Scorpio, where her Ascendant is posited, as well as the most powerful planet of her chart, Mars in his own domicile.

On the other hand, her Moon in Cancer forms an exact trine with her Mars, which provides two essential clues to her deeper personality. Indeed, these two planets encourage the triumph of instincts, involving compulsive urges in the case of Mars, and the sphere of childhood in the case of the Moon. As the famous French singer Serge Gainsbourg put it, “Paradis, it's hell”. This formulation sums up the main characteristics of Paradis. Indeed, there is some ambiguity between candour and sex-appeal, something that perhaps she uses unconsciously, though she is aware that she owes this magnetic aura to her Scorpio Ascendant.

But an additional planetary duet in her chart deserves full attention: the tight conjunction of Venus and Neptune in Sagittarius, in the 1st House. This aspect turns Vanessa Paradis into an incurable and romantic idealist. Thus, she was literally the incarnation of lasting love with a foreign star (her Sagittarius touch), which made the audience dream. In 2000, the release of her album Bliss immortalises the feeling of benediction she confessed having experienced in her private life. Johnny Depp worked on this album, participating in the vision which Paradis nurtured around their symbiotic relationship.

It is also interesting to note that the first rumours of break-up, then the confirmation of their split, occurred in the summer of 2012, when Neptune was completing a square to this major natal conjunction. Since then, the planet retrograded, but it will keep on exerting its influence on Paradis' Venus-Neptune conjunction. Therefore, she must bear the weight of the fact that she had not been able to prevent their perfect couple image from dissolving.

On the other hand, getting back to the Scorpio-Capricorn mix, her stamina and her endurance were not disappointing. With her natural assets, Paradis' survival instinct is as intense as the passion she may feel when the opportunity pops up. Since her creative and professional spheres are interrelated, she can transpose this feeling and use a new emotional palette to reinforce her artistic position.

However, for the time being, she is following a lonely path, with Saturn soon transiting her Ascendant after having crossed her 12th House (ordeals). In addition, Neptune keeps on squaring her Venus. Although it may be overlooked, since she was very young, she undertook quite numerous professional experiences, and it is most likely that the singer will resume this artistic path and enjoy the fulfilment of maturity. The release of her album in the spring of 2013 obviously mirrors her new identity, both strong and melancholic.
