First let me start with the caveat that it is extremely difficult to look at
pregnancy indicators in a natal horoscope, such as Nicole's, with an unknown
birth time. The Moon
and the 5th house
are two important pregnancy indicators that cannot be pinpointed without a birth
time. But I took a look at Nicole's chart just to see what is happening. There
is certainly a lot of change, transformation and pressure in her life right
now, but I'm not convinced that having a baby on the way has anything to do
with it.
In her natal chart, Nicole has a surprising potential for nurturing and mothering,
with her Virgo
Sun conjunct
the asteroid Ceres.
This placement suggests that Nicole identifies with a mothering archetype and
is a real caretaker.
But that does not necessarily mean the time to indulge her maternal tendencies
is now. In Nicole's progressed chart, representing where a person's personality
has evolved up to the present date, the Sun has moved out of orb of a conjunction
with Ceres. Nowadays, progressed Ceres is closest to natal and progressed Saturn,
and trine natal and progressed Chiron, which suggest barrenness and difficulty
conceiving more than fertility. (A more auspicious time for pregnancy might
have been two years ago, when the progressed Sun was conjunct progressed Jupiter,
a planetary pregnancy indicator.)
Currently, Nicole is undergoing a profound transformation with Pluto
squaring her
Sun, as I first
wrote about back in February 2006; her identity has morphed before our eyes.
But the snakelike shedding-of-skin suggested by a hard Pluto-Sun aspect does
not seem to me representative of the kind of psychic transformation that comes
with parenthood. This, to me, says more about Nicole's grasping for fame and
status over the past couple of years, and her utter and complete transfiguration,
as her body wastes away (Pluto, signifying control issues, could suggest the
rigorous self-discipline that many young women with eating issues are determined
to maintain) and her personal style continues to change.
Transiting Jupiter currently trines
Nicole's natal Mars
and sextiles
her Saturn.
Again, without knowing the house placements it is difficult to pinpoint the
significance of these transits, but the fact that Jupiter is aspecting archetypally
"masculine" planets suggests that the luck and growth suggests that
the good fortune and growth prospects it is bringing Nicole are not of a fertility-oriented
nature.
Furthermore, transiting Saturn is aspecting the yod in Nicole's natal chart,
suggesting the issues she presently has dealing with authority. Saturn is trine
natal Neptune
(substance abuse, unrealistic expectations), square Chiron
(wounding), and sextile Pluto. With this aspect just getting tighter, and Nicole's
sentencing date for her DUI case approaching, Nicole could face some serious
punishment just like her BFF, SWSNBN,FPFHHP. And Saturn squaring Chiron
could trigger Nicole's tendency to act self-destructive in order to feel in
control. Whether or not she is pregnant, I'm concerned that she may not be taking
the best care of her body.
It has been buzzed about that Nicole supposedly thinks being pregnant will
keep her out of prison. Now, it seems to me that she could just as easily be
creating the illusion (Neptune) of a pregnancy to gain sympathy from the authorities
(Saturn) who have dominion over her fate (Pluto). Buying a diaper bag seems
like a pretty blatant way to send the signal that she's knocked up, considering
La Richie could have just sent out an assistant for it -- or waited until she
actually has some diapers to put in the bag.
So, I'm not convinced that whatever's going on with Nicole's belly is a "baby
bump." But that said, I hesitate to rule out the possibility of a pregnancy
altogether without a birth time to do a really comprehensive reading. Sorry
to be rather inconclusive, but ultimately we'll have to wait and see!
