ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS – RIHANNA AND CHRIS BROWN



No birth time, Noon style synastry chart

The first thing that I notice in Rihanna’s natal chart is the infamous natal Venus in square to natal Neptune… the same as we saw in Monica Lewinsky’s chart… which is an inclination to project far more into a relationship with a significant other than is actually there… which eventually leads to disillusionment… as the reality of the significant other rears its ugly head and shatters the illusion…

…and we see that potential and erratic demon in Chris Brown’s natal Mars that is in opposition to both of the malefic planets …Saturn and Uranus… and Neptune as well.

What sets them off? …they tend to push each other’s buttons. Both of their natal Mercury locations square the other’s Sun location… constantly argumentative on both sides… not compatible.

Also Chris’ Mars at 4 degrees of Cancer is in opposition to Rihanna’s Saturn and Uranus… both goading type of influences on both sides… and the theme repeats as their mutual Mars locations oppose one another… attraction but not compatible. Chris’ Sun at 15 degrees of Taurus is in opposition to Rihanna’s Pluto at 13 degrees of Libra… clash of wills, one tries to dominate the other… not compatible.

Since they are approximately the same age… they both have the triple conjunct of Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus in Capricorn. Rihanna’s natal Sun is in Sextile to this group… thus a potentially Pop entertainer… and Chris’ Sun is trine this same group… thus potentially… some compatibility with each other… and his inclination as a Pop entertainer.

Show business got them together… and their personal lives drove them apart… and to the point of violence… in Rihanna’s own words, “It can happen to anybody.”

I applaud her self examination and honesty… and would only add, …‘especially to those who have harsh aspects between Venus and Neptune in their natal charts.’ ...simply be aware of it and choose wisely…

…solutions? With knowledge of the problem… as your astrologer may help you see… one can by ‘free will’ choice re-direct these energies into something more fun, therapeutic, and harmless… In Rihanna’s case, she might try a pastime relaxing hobby, or a class in pottery (Earth/Capricorn/Cancer/Water, Mother Earth… all potentially natural healing forces)… learning to center a ball of clay on a potter’s wheel… and then to pull up a bowl, pot, vase… just whatever Neptune inspires…

Thus, the stressful energy is released by meeting the challenges (square) of the art (Venus/Neptune)… and that physical challenge and release constructively creates a harmless, perhaps even beautiful, and useful… pot. This is a better and safer release of the square energies than bummer relationships …that can end in unnecessary violence and disaster.

And for Chris? One of our country’s legendary navel heroes, Admiral Farragutt (‘Damn the torpedoes!’) had natal Mars (war) square to natal Neptune (sea, navy)… In that same vein… natal Mars in opposition to Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus… would be ideal for a Navy SEAL commando (Neptune/Mars) who beats up enemies and blows up their stuff (Mars/Saturn/Uranus)… This would be a harmonious expression of the energy, in that they serve their country honorably.

Or as an entertainer, like Chris… maybe take some time off and learn scuba diving (Uranus/Neptune activity)… and learn spear fishing (Mars/Uranus/Neptune)… an active good exercise, therapeutic, fun, harmless… well, maybe not for the fish… expression of the energy… or maybe join an amateur water polo team… active harmless release is the objective… instead of beating up one’s girlfriend.

Squares are squares …most of us have one or two or more in our natal horoscope. They are our challenges… and our potential growth. It’s all a matter of self knowledge, acceptance of oneself and others, and more harmonious choices… and thus, spiritual evolution. How do you choose to express these energies?… They will… and do… flow through you… and your life experience… one way or another.
