Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel: Can Consecutive Signs Work?

As long promised, I have examined the horoscopes of new couple Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel to determine their compatibility. And I have to say I was rather surprised at the result.

Now, as longtime readers well know, I am (a) averse to the idea of consecutive Sun signs pairing up; and (b) deeply invested in the prospect of J.T. reuniting with his one true love, Britney Spears. So I was all set to dismiss this couple out of hand, proclaiming her an oversensitive Pisces who would be emotionally unsatisfied by an unfeeling Aquarian like Justin. But, most vexingly, it turns out they actually have more going for them than I expected.

See, for a Pisces, Jessica is really not all that touchy-feely emotional. She has Mercury conjunct Justin's Aquarius Sun and her Venus in Aquarius as well; Mars, Saturn, and Pluto are in airy Libra. See Jessica Biel's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time) And it is extremely likely that Jessica has a Gemini Moon -- unless she was born very close to midnight, in which case her Moon would be at 0° Cancer. On the off chance that her Moon is in watery Cancer, Jessica would be a lot less compatible with Justin, being a much more emotional, sensitive being. But assuming that she does have a Gemini Moon, Jessica actually has a predominance of six planets in air signs, which makes her much more simpatico than the average Pisces with airy Aquarian Justin.

Conversely, Justin has his Mercury in Pisces, Jessica's Sun sign. See Justin Timberlake's birth chart (Astrotheme) The fact that they have their Mercurys in each other's Sun signs is an indicator that they understand each other and have good communication. Curses!!!

But it seems to me -- and again, I am deeply biased -- that while all their air-sign planets may vibe harmoniously, there is not that much in the way of passionate chemistry between them. Her Neptune is within two degrees of his Moon-Neptune, so she does fit his fantasy image of a woman, but that would be true of many women born roughly within the same year of him (Britney's Neptune's conjunction to Justin's Moon-Neptune, for instance, is almost exact).

There may be some romantic vibes thanks to her Mars in Libra loosely conjunct his Pluto, and her Pluto in Libra trine his Mars; however, Saturn smack between her Mars and Pluto would tend to damp down those flames of passion a bit.

Other than that, there are not many strong aspects to speak of between their two charts. They may get along just fine and have fun together, with all that breezy, social air-sign energy ... but nothing really jumps out to indicate any real binding connection, or can't-live-without-you ardor. In fact, their Suns are semisextile to each other, which speaks to the kind of tomato-tomahto just-slightly-out-of-tune-with-each-other dynamic I caution against when it comes to consecutive signs.

True, it is possible that her Gemini Moon opposes his Sag Moon, which would bring romantic sparks. But even a Moon opposition between those two mutable, commitment-phobic signs would not necessarily augur a lasting, long-term relationship. I can't help feeling that Justin and Jess are just having fun for right now, and perhaps looking to keep things light and noncommittal. By the way, did I mention that I believe Justin is going to end up with Britney?
