Nicole and Keith: What Are They Hiding?

Gentle readers, how I love getting your tips and insights. A commenter known only as H. has drawn my attention to a birth chart for Keith Urban that includes a birth time. See Keith Urban's birth chart (Vega Attraction Astrology) Granted, no source is given for said birth time. Then again, my fave celebrity horoscope resource, Astrotheme, doesn't provide sources for its birth data either. So, let's check out this chart and see what it portends for Keith's compatibility with Ms. Nicole Kidman, which is obviously the only capacity in which anyone is at all concerned with him or his horoscope.

With 10° Cancer on the Ascendant, this natal chart places Keith's Moon (emotions) at 19°32" of its own sign, Cancer, a heartbeat away from Nicole's Mercury (communication) at 20°56" Cancer, which makes it easy for her to understand his feelings and relate to him.

Keith's Ascendant squares Nicole's Saturn, which could suggest that he appears to her to be someone she can make an enduring commitment to... but also could suggest her hesitating or doubting herself in his presence.

Keith's Midheaven (representing his career goals) sits on Nicole's Descendant or 7th house cusp (representing her partnerships). Hmm... could this suggest that his career ambitions are part of what draws him toward a relationship with her? Or that his career as a singer fits her image of the type of man she should be with?

Now, their composite chart, which shows the relationship, has a very interesting dynamic. The Sun and Venus are closely conjunct in controlling Virgo in the secretive 12th house. Virgo is also on the Ascendant, and Mercury, Uranus and Pluto are conjunct in the 1st house. All this describes how Nic and Keith are intensely private about the relationship, flying under the radar and tightly controlling the information they let appear to the public. But it also speaks to a level of obsessive-compulsiveness in the relationship dynamic. Mars conjunct Neptune in Scorpio in the composite adds to the secrecy and introduces a hint of possible deception.

Do these aspects simply reflect the fact that they like sneaking around to thwart the press? Or could the Kidman-Urban union be an orchestrated one? Is Nicole out to out-farce TomKat? Is it really all about beating them to the altar? Time will tell....
