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?
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!
