Gentle
readers, I have been working on this post for days, but it has been slow going,
because reporting on this is just very difficult for me. I mean, I gasped aloud
when I heard the news that Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson were
splitting. They seemed like such a happy little hippie family! I was so sure
they would stick together forever like Goldie and Kurt and pop
out more long-haired babies! ...And yet, I have to admit that the thought of
Owen Wilson almost immediately flashed through my mind. Still, I was
shocked—shocked!—when this hunch was immediately validated
by an Us cover story alleging a Kate-Owen affair! {Source}
Whew. Okay. Deep breaths. You see how this is all very emotional, dear readers.
And when I set out to unravel the astrological strands that form this tangled
web, I felt even more heartbroken. You see, Kate and Chris really do have some
amazing connections in their charts. But it might just be that what they have
in common—a freewheeling, free-spirited fire-sign aversion to commitment—is
what allowed them to drift apart. And with a sexy Sun-Neptune Scorpio like Owen
waiting in the wings, Kate might just have drifted in his direction.
Kate's & Chris' Suns are in a close trine in fire signs Aries and Sagittarius,
ensuring a harmonious vibe between them of the free-and-easy kind. Their Mars
oppose each other in Aries/Libra, forging a strong sexual connection that is
reinforced by Chris' Venus in Capricorn squaring both their Mars. Depending
on his time of birth, Chris' Aries Moon could conjunct Kate's Mercury and/or
Mars.
Their Jupiters are in an out-of-sign conjunction (hers in late Cancer, his
in early Leo), suggesting that they can support and encourage each other's evolution
process even though their individual styles of dealing with growth experiences
may be very different. Chris' Saturn in Pisces on Kate's Venus describes the
age difference in their relationship but also suggests him playing the role
of spiritual teacher. And oh yeah, the Pisces influence adds to their freewheeling
hippie-dippie energy.
These connections seem so positive, but with all that passionate, impulsive
fire energy, the relationship is bound to be tempestuous as well. The Mars opposition
makes for great sex, but can also cause them to butt heads in fierce arguments.
(Bet the make-up sex was amazing, though.) Aries (where Kate has Mercury as
well as the Sun and Mars) are known for starting things they don't finish while
Sagittarius is the quintessential "babe, I've got to ramble on" rock
star sign. While their connection may have been based in large part on them
both being seekers, that very restlessness also looks to be the reason they
ultimately went in different directions.
It's worth noting that there is a significant cosmic challenge posed in Kate's
natal chart. Her T-square between the Sun, Moon and Jupiter at 29° of cardinal
signs is very karmic and suggests a kind of urgency. As I have remarked before,
the 29th and final degree of a sign contains an anxiety about bringing closure,
completion or fulfillment to the affairs of that sign. To have both luminaries
there (including the Moon, ruler of the Cancer Ascendant) in a challenging configuration
with Jupiter on the Ascendant is an interesting clue to Kate's purpose in life.
She really has to struggle to define her identity (perhaps, given the Moon emphasis,
to differentiate herself from her mother) and feels an almost desperate yearning
toward personal growth and new horizons. It's no wonder that someone with this
formation in her horoscope would feel constantly compelled to strike out in
new directions.
Interestingly, Owen Wilson also has his Mars in Libra, opposite Kate's Mars
and squaring her Venus, creating a great possibility of sexual chemistry between
them as well. See Owen Wilson's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time) Owen also has an expansive, explosive conjunction of Mars, Jupiter
and Uranus opposing Kate's Mercury-Mars, undoubtedly bringing a huge sense of
excitement and mental stimulation into her life. All the wild, unpredictable
energy of these three planets meeting in romantic Libra might just sweep Kate
off her feet.
Owen's birth time is unknown, but if I had to guess, I would peg it around
9:00 AM CST. This would give Owen a Sagittarius Ascendant, describing his long,
lanky physique and equine face as well as the laid-back-dude persona he puts
out. (A second possibility would be an Aries Ascendant, describing his famously
prominent nose, but to my mind that doesn't illustrate his ambling style.) This
Ascendant would put Owen's Sun in the 11th house, fitting the wackily Aquarian
cast to his personality; he always seems to choose characters who flout convention.
His Libra stellium would end up in the 9th house, with Mars conjunct the Midheaven,
reinforcing that Sagittarius vibe... and, perhaps tellingly, his Moon in early
Scorpio would form an out-of-sign grand cross with Kate's cardinal T-square.
Alternatively, if Owen were born a few minutes before 5:00 AM CST, the Moon
would conjunct the Ascendant at 29° Libra and form an exact grand cross
with Kate's T-square. I still lean toward a Sagittarius Ascendant for Owen,
but I'm open. (Thoughts, readers?)
Regardless of his exact time of birth, it doesn't get much dreamier than a
man with a Sun-Neptune conjunction in Scorpio (which certainly explains Owen's
odd charm and sex-symbol status in spite of the fact that he's hardly a conventional
specimen of studhood). His Mars in Libra is clearly Kate's "type,"
and Jupiter and Uranus just add to the excitement. But as to whether they have
any long-term potential, I'd say it hinges largely on Owen's Moon sign. If he
was born after 5:00 AM as a double Scorpio, especially later in the day with
the Moon out of aspect to Kate's Sun, they are most likely too fundamentally
different to make it work, and this could just be a rebound fling. But if indeed
Owen does have his Moon in late Libra, Kate could be just the woman to overcome
his commitment anxiety. Her Cancer Ascendant trines his Sun-Neptune, and her
Capricorn Moon sextiles them, so the reports that he is smitten could very well
be true. Stay tuned....
Meanwhile, I would like to point out to Chris Robinson, should he, in turn,
be in pursuit of a rebound fling, that I too have Venus in Pisces and go for
the scrungey-undernourished-rock-star look, and also that "Kate" sounds
a lot like "Kitty" and if he were to accidentally mix up the two names,
no one would be the wiser. Just throwing that out there. Ahem.... Well, dear
readers, it looks like I have turned a corner in the mourning process—thanks
so much for letting me work through all this!
