Reese and Ryan: Separated by Uranus?

Reese and Ryan

It's official: There is no hope for the rest of us! It is with deep sadness and concern for the present and future state of human relationships that I inform you Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe are separating. {Source} As I previously reported, the dynamic between an Aries (Reese) and a Virgo (Ryan) does not traditionally make for a good romantic match. But with their natal Venuses opposite each other and a few other good aspects, Reese and Ryan were making a go of a balanced relationship. ~ See Reese Witherspoon's astrological chart (Astrotheme, no birth time) ~ See Ryan Philippe's astrological chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

But pressures have been mounting for this couple for some time. Back in March, I wrote:

There have been some trouble spots for the marriage lately as Uranus in Pisces recently passed over Reese's Venus and is now headed toward Ryan's Jupiter. In both of them, this could bring urges to make a sudden break, disrupting existing relationships that suddenly feel stifling. {Full story}

At the time, I opined that Uranus would not be a dealbreaker and Reese and Ryan would stick it out at least until late next year. But news of the separation comes as retrograde Uranus is preparing to station and turn direct just over a degree away from Reese's Venus (three degrees from Ryan's Jupiter). In an interesting converse aspect, transiting Venus in Scorpio is also about to cross Reese's natal Uranus.

Meanwhile, Jupiter in Scorpio squares Reese's Saturn, generating further enthusiasm for breaking free of the confines of her life's current structure. Reese may have felt that in order to grow in the long term, she needed to jump ship now. With all that Venus-Uranus energy building in the run-up to the Uranus station, Reese was ready to cut loose. I definitely see her being the initiator of the breakup while Ryan, with Uranus on his Jupiter, just feels like his luck has turned in a way that's out of his control.

As much as I wanted these two to defy the odds for Aries-Virgo couples, ultimately they are operating on two totally different wavelengths... even if they did make beautiful babies together. Hopefully the transformational energy that attends the current pile-up of planets in Scorpio will be cathartic for Reese and Ryan as they prepare to shed their old lives and start over. Seriously, though, what hope is there for the rest of us?!?!

Is it wrong that Reese and Ryan's breakup makes me feel better about my own life?

Agree with you anon, there was no surprise in this relationship ending. I couldn't imagine being married to her. She seems like a major, selfish control freak. (And this is coming from a scorp.) She actually referred to her children (may have been just the first one, I think it was an old article) as a challenge she more or less has to live with because she got knocked. If she had used birth control those two probably would have been done within in a year.

Carrie, if it makes you feel better what the hey. It's not like they are your best friends and your happy about it. :)

Listen, I don't care how many warning signs there were - if beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed rich people are not happy then I don't know what chance the rest of us have to find happiness. Maybe if Reese were taller this would not have happened. Yes, that must be it....

BTW, I think the city of birth listed for Ryan is wrong unless he was born at home. It's more likely he was born in Wilmington although that wouldn't really make a difference chart wise.
