The Mysterious Disappearance of Angelina Jolie

A hush has descended over the celebrosphere as of late. There seems to be a strange void at the center of the galaxy of stars. Despite the best efforts of Mel Gibson and Lindsay Lohan to entertain us with their career-destroying antics, Hollywood suddenly feels hollow. Why, you ask? Well, duh, it's because the ace in the deck of the A-list's major arcana, Miss Angelina Jolie, is mysteriously missing from the scene. She seems to have sequestered herself and her children in their Malibu home, emerging only for brief glimpses and never with the paparazzi holy grail that is baby Shiloh.

What is going on here? Have photographers killed the goose that laid the golden eggs? Is Angie headed into a bizarre new hermetic phase? Will we soon be seeing Maddox and Zahara veiled, Brad riding llamas around the estate and Shiloh being dangled off balconies?

Or, perhaps worse, are the rumors of mounting Brangelina tension reported by In Touch true? The mag claims in its August 14, 2006 issue that the strain of raising the kids is taking its toll on the couple. Angie allegedly hates Malibu and is pissed at Brad for (horrors) going to work during the day.

Since I don't think I could withstand the traumatic psychological impact of a Brangelina breakup—or an Angie breakdown—I felt compelled to check out her chart and find out exactly what is going on within that mercurial Gemini mind.

Curently Uranus in Pisces is semisextiling her Moon, slightly raising Angelina's tension level as she copes with the unpredictable ups and downs of motherhood, and squaring her Sun, shaking up her sense of herself and possibly impelling her to break free of convention (what else is new, with her?) and question her own assumptions about who she is. She may be shaken by the depth of feeling (Pisces) she has for her children (Moon) and wondering what it means for her as an autonomous being (Sun).

But as this transit works itself out, why has it manifested in Angelina's keeping herself under wraps? Well, right now Angelina is keeping on the down-low tip because she has been at a natural ebb in her annual energy cycle, with the personal planets passing through her 12th house. The 12th house is all about being under the radar; it is traditionally associated with confinement, sometimes even hospitalization or imprisonment; in Angelina's case, she may indeed feel that she is a prisoner because the paparazzi are waiting whenever she steps outside her house. Mars (representing one's M.O.) entered her 12th house on April 10, which was right around the time she and Brad sequestered themselves in Africa to await Shiloh's birth.

Mars has since left the 12th house, but it has been followed by a steady stream of planets transiting through there. The Sun entered her 12th house on June 19 and has since moved into her 1st house of identity, where it is currently conjoining stern, repressive Saturn in Leo, the sign of fame and attention—again, emphasizing the theme of reevaluation of her identity.

Mercury, a strong influence on the chart as the ruler of Angelina's Gemini Sun, first entered the 12th house on June 2, crossed the Ascendant on June 26 and then retrograded back into the 12th on July 13. This signifies a period of introspection and withdrawal from the world as Angelina has sought to be alone with her thoughts and reevaluate what she thinks of all the recent events in her life. Currently, Mercury has moved into a conjunction with Angelina's natal 12th-house Venus and is trailed by transiting Venus, which has just conjuncted natal Saturn. Both these conjunctions suggest that Angelina is taking stock of her relationships, as well as analyzing and reflecting on the role she plays in them. She may feel the need to withdraw now in order to gain some perspective. I don't see her wanting to break it off with Brad now (whew), just needing to take some time out for herself to clear her mind.

Mercury will leave the 12th house to cross Angelina's Ascendant for the last time this year on August 10, right around the time of her Venus return, when Venus conjuncts its natal position in the 12th house before going on to cross her Ascendant on the 11th. This may crystallize some of the lessons Angelina has learned about herself and her intimate relationships during this 12th-house-emphasis period. She may be more mindful now of her 12th-house/Piscean tendency to give away too much of herself to those she loves or even be self-destructive for a relationship (vials of blood, anyone?). When the planetary focus shifts to her 1st house, Angelina will be just about ready to emerge from her cocoon and show herself to the world once again. With that Uranus-Sun square, she may even go out of her way to shock the public with a daring shift of gears, just to prove something to herself.

So take heart—less than a week from now, Angelina may well re-emerge in the public sphere to reclaim her rightful crown as Hollywood's Queen of Swords and Queen of Cups rolled into one. I, for one, can't wait!
