TRANSITS AND RELATIONSHIP SPLITS

The planets move every day and millions of people get together… stay together… or separate. Another recent celebrity separation that the Ladies of Astrology News World have brought to my attention is that of Courteney Cox and David Arquette… a couple of actors and a wrestler of some recent celebrity fame.

The first synastry aspect I notice in their natal charts is David’s natal Pluto square to the natal conjunct of Sun and Venus in Courteney’s natal chart. The basic problem in any relationship Venus/Pluto aspect is… obsession, possessiveness, jealousy, and control… all of which can be a gradual spiritually suffocating and emotionally toxic influence on a curious and free spirited air sign like a Gemini… Courteney Cox.

Here’s a standard astrology reference book definition of one’s natal Venus in square angle to the other’s natal Pluto from THE ASTROLOGY OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS, by Sakoian & Acker;

“This comparative combination indicates strong sexual attractions. Its effects are similar to those of the “Venus Square Mars” comparative combination. The motivation behind the attraction is often sexual desire rather than genuine romantic feeling. Sexual jealousy and possessiveness can be a problem to these natives. The Pluto individual is likely to try to control and dominate the Venus individual emotionally and, in some cases try to take financial advantage of him or her. The Venus individual may regard the Pluto as jealous, aggressive, dictatorial, and sexually demanding. The Pluto individual may regard the Venus individual as superficial, and self indulgent.”

We can see the precursor to this in the last transiting conjunct of Venus and Mars (sex) on October 3rd… (probably around the time they decided to split up) at 14 degrees of Scorpio (sex) which conjuncts her natal Neptune (disillusionment) …and perhaps there was a toxic (Mars/Neptune) buildup of emotional frustration …and perhaps a typical Plutonian angry outburst like, “…that’s all you ever think about!”

…and a couple weeks later David is on the Howard Stern program whining, “…we haven’t had sex in over four months…”

…I rest my case.

SCORPIO VENUS/MARS SCANDAL FOR DEMI & ASTON

My colleagues at Astrology News World have brought to my attention the recent scandalous revelations of the alleged mistress of Aston Kutcher… one Brittney Jones… of him and his wife Demi Moore often having threesomes with females that Demi selects.

This is a classic example of how the intense sexuality of the transiting Venus and Mars conjunction can be… especially in Scorpio… and how it can manifest… and its occasional negative backlash… which is often karmic in nature.

There is a lot that can be written about these two… and the basic aspects of attraction that has gotten them together. I don’t have an accurate birth time for Aston Kutcher… so, I shall use Noon which gives us the basic planet locations on his DOB.

With basic synastry astrology we can see the basic immediate attraction between them… Demi’s Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Neptune natal Stelleum in Scorpio (sex)… and in her 8th House (sex) …which has lot to with her being a sexy film icon …conjuncts Aston’s natal Uranus …sudden and strong …and an inclination for the ‘unusual’ …ergo, very possible threesomes, as it squares his Sun, Moon, and Venus conjunction (also an glamor aspect) in Aquarius (ruled by ‘unusual’ Uranus)… and all square to Demi’s hot Scorpio Stellem… also the Venus conjunct to Neptune in Demi’s natal chart is often expressed as a bisexual inclination.

The scandal breaker, the alleged mistress of Aston… Brittney Jones reports that partners for the threesomes were usually selected by Demi… which would fit her Mars in Leo placement …the active director of the scenarios …and His Mars in Cancer, the acquiescing to her choices. All these factors can confirm such a story.

…so, let’s look at the transits of the hot Venus and Mars conjunct this past 3rd of October in Scorpio and see where it occurred in their mutual charts…



It jumps up off of Demi’s natal chart and hits us in the eye… at 14 degrees of Scorpio the Venus/Mars conjunct is right in the middle of her Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Neptune Stelleum… thus activating it… as well as conjunct to Aston’s Uranus…and conjunct her Neptune… a sudden (Uranus) scandal (Neptune)… in Scorpio… and Neptune (scandal) is transiting through Demi’s 12th House (hidden, secrets)… ergo, a sudden sex scandal… Lies and gossip are also ruled by foggy Neptune… so nothing is definite…

The theme repeats in Aston’s chart as the Venus/Mars transit conjuncts his Uranus (sudden, and activating his natal Venus square Uranus… an inclination for sexual experimentation and multiple partners) …also in indicator of the unusual difference in their ages… and transiting Neptune (scandal) in Uranus ruled Aquarius… again sudden revelations… The more themes that tie together and repeat… the stronger the probability of the event…



But… I wasn’t there… and neither were you… with Neptune involved it could also be a big lie or exaggeration by Brittney… tattle tails make scandalous big bucks from the tabloids…

Nonetheless, the alleged events do fit the nature of the transits for the past two months.

THE LAST TANGO IN SCORPIO

If you were out last Sunday during the early afternoon and evening… and you by ‘chance’ met someone and had an immediate sexual attraction… or encounter… and are waking up now wondering, ‘…how did this happen?’…you experienced the influence of an exact transiting Venus and Mars conjunction that is linked by aspect to some of your personal planets in your natal horoscope and or the other person’s.




Venus and Mars have been dancing around each other within a 6 degree orb since last August when Venus passed Mars, then made it’s station, and is now going to go retrograde… and this direct and retro movement Tango has been dancing through the signs of Libra, the lovers, and Scorpio… sex.

So why am I telling you now …instead of last Saturday morning? In two decades of doing compatibility charts it has been my experience that rarely does a client come to me with the ‘significant other’s date of birth… before they have sex. It’s always afterward… and they are usually lamenting, ‘It was so hot… when we first met… and now I don’t know who they are… will this work out?’ …etc, etc.

I try to explain to their bruised egos that they aren’t really the last of the red hot lovers… and that the encounter occurred when transiting planets like Venus, Mars, and the Moon were so aligned as to create a temporary strong attraction between them. Longevity of a relationship depends on other planets like the Sun, Moon, and Saturn and their natal locations in their respective charts.

The planets simply move… and things and relationships change. Once the blinding hot sex energy has passed… everyday reality comes back and you see the other sides of each other… and they may not be so compatible out of bed on Tuesday morning.

Then usually the ‘blame games’ start… ‘…you lied, you’re no Prince! …you’re a selfish, fat, ugly, egotistical toad loser living in your van parked down by the river!’ …’oh, yeah… well… you’re not exactly what you pretend to be either… how is it my pal, and his buddies in the Dirtwater Flats volunteer fire department can all describe the tattoo on your butt?!’ …etc, etc… we’ve all seen or lived the episode… the planets move and love turns to hate.

While the Venus/Mars conjunct can create passionate encounters… it can also swing negative with some individuals… and there can be and often are crimes of lust, passion, jealousy. So, why haven’t the tabloids of print, TV, and the internet been screaming with sex scandals and crimes lately? More than likely because this sexy conjunct has occurred in secretive sign of Scorpio… if you’re discreet, you just might get away with that clandestine affair you had last weekend during this hot transit.

Movie examples of this type of encounter would be any of the silly Doris Day and Rock Hudson romance comedies of the 50-60’s, or BLAME IT ON RIO… and if tragic… the nude Marlon Brando in THE LAST TANGO IN PARIS.

If you missed all the excitement… not to worry… the conjunct occurs every year… but in different signs. This past hot one will occur again in the sign of Scorpio in December of 2034... so, mark your calendar and be ready for it next time.
