Famous couple: synastry Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Christopher O'Neill

Princess Madeleine of Sweden married businessman Christopher O'Neill on June 8, 2013. When they announced the engagement, transit Juno was on her Progressed Ascendant. At the time of the wedding one of the most interesting aspects in her chart was Progressed Venus conjunct natal Sun. It looks as if she found the love of her life, after an earlier long time engagement ending in a goodbye. You can read all about that on my blog Astropost, using the link. What I didn't mention there is that her Sun in Gemini is now opposition transit Pholus in Sagittarius. This symbolizes a turning point in life.

This post is about the interaction between the charts of Madeleine and her husband Christopher.

MADELEINE AND CHRISTOPHER SYNASTRY
Here is her natal chart. The 'transits' are for the day of birth of Christopher O'Neill.

There is little match in lifestyle. Her husband is a Cancer, she is a Gemini. Their is friendship and they can learn to get used to each other easily, because their Moons are in friendly signs (Aquarius and Libra), just like Mars. Mercury and Venus are not.

Her Mars square his Sun tells us that she will likely rival him, but he is the boss. It is the same synastry aspect that you see between King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima of The Netherlands. (She is very popular and he is the successor of the family).

Other synastry aspects are:

• His Venus in Gemini (the sign of her Sun) is inconjunct her Jupiter and opposition her Uranus: that looks a bit like an exciting party. His love and affection is changing her life in a positive way. They will have fun together, but life isn't always fun. It will be hard to keep up party time. Venus-Uranus combinations are for falling in love...but they have the tendency to lead to a flashlight relationship or feelings turning on and off. 
• His Neptune opposition her Mercury tells us that there will be a lot of misunderstandings. 
• His Mars square her Venus is a sign of passion, but not necessarily one of peace and quiet...

They don't share much, except Sun-Pluto (Sun trine Pluto - she- and Sun exactly square Pluto for him). On my site Astromarkt about sharing aspects (http://www.astromarkt.net/sharing-aspects.html ) you may read about Sun-Pluto shared aspects:

If Sun and Pluto make an aspect in both of your charts living together will not be easy. Two strong wills, two fanatics, both wanting to win and to have the power. Let us say: playing power games, sometimes. If harmonious both will finally win in some way or win and survive together after making a difficult start. If both have the affliction in their chars, than there is the possibility of making each others’ life hell. But for some reason they are stuck to each other and will not easily separate. In crisis situations these people take charge and cooperate to survive. In teams they are joining forces to win as long as there is ‘the other’ to combat, trying to beat the team member by doing the best they can. Maybe that is why so many football teams have members with Sun-Pluto aspects. 

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney are a couple (now, March 2013). He is born on July 15, 1981. She is born on March 28,1986 in New York.
They share a hard Sun-Pluto aspect (he has the square, she has the inconjunct) and that means that living together will be challenging!

CHRISTOPHER

With transit Pluto inconjunct his progressed Sun the mentioned challenges have begun this year. They say that he doesn't like the media much. He will have to get used to a different lifestyle now that he married a famous person instead of that of a silent millionaire.

Above is the chart of the DOB with transits and progressions for the wedding day of Christopher O'Neill, an international (an American born in London) whose conjunction of Sun, Mercury and Saturn is square Pluto. That is for the strategic mind. Now that he marries his Swedish Princess, Progressed Sun is square Jupiter, the symbol of success and of ... the international. His progressed Venus is close to his wife's progressed Sun. That is pretty OK for the first period of their partnership!:) They met each other when it was time for love in her chart and when she drew his loving attention. (Learn about meeting each other and astrology: http://www.astromarkt.net/index.php?id=104)

It is a complicated synastry and it will probably be a relationship with some challenges. In fact, that might keep the relationship interesting and surprising, just as Venus-Uranus desires. 

RESONATION

Just an observation: in his natal chart tSaturn is inconjunct Neptune. When he married Saturn was trine Neptune and both planets trined his natal Sun. Also Mars is quintile Uranus in the natal chart. Transit Uranus is trine his natal Mars now. I don't wish to speculate about the meaning of the aspects, but I want to point at the fact that important events in life are often triggered by the resonation of natal aspects by transit or progression.

Unlike royal spouses like Maxima, Christopher will not be an official member of the royal family.

Could Brad and Angelina separate?

There are rumors about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt splitting up very soon. I would not be surprised, because here on Astrology-love-romance I wrote about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie:

RELATIONSHIP PITT-JOLIE: MARS SQUARE MARS
Aniston and Jolie share Sun-Neptune and see: Sun opposition Neptune of Jolie is on the horizon of Brad Pitt's chart. There is a link, as to be expected.
Jolie and Pitt do not match much. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars are in conflicting signs. And the tightest conflict is that of Mars square Mars. I have seen that before: McCartney-Mills, Mars inconjunct Mars. And Van Basten-Van Nistelrooij: Mars square Mars. Fire! And it is only to be wished that they keep it in control.

What Jolie and Pitt share is Venus-Uranus. She has the square, he has the sesquisquare. They will love excitement and changes. Probably that is why they are moving around the world so much. As long as they keep moving and keep the fire in control, this relationship will continue. But will it last forever? With so many children, let us hope so...

It is more difficult to stay together when there are little matches and when you are a famous, rich and good looking couple of unmarried moviestars. Indications for stability and everlasting love would be helpful here...but they are not there.

Below are the charts, transits and progressions of Brad and Angelina today.

BRAD
Notice that soon (on March) Uranus will be on the IC and square his Sun. His progressed Sun/Moon is in the 12th degree of Sagittarius. That is conjunct the Ascendant and square his Uranus. It means that the relationship (Ascendant-Descendant) is in the spotlights and that life has been nervous recently. There is likely going to be a major change (Uranus opposition MC). Uranus is also the symbol of freedom and independence.

ANGELINA

Within one year from now Angelina's progressed Sun will be conjunct Saturn (followed by a square by Jupiter). Her progressed Moon recently was conjunct Saturn. Progressed Sun/Moon is now conjunct Saturn and square Jupiter. Saturn and Jupiter together often reflect a domestic move with pro's and contra's. Transit Neptune is making a hard aspect with AC/MC and that is the symbol of disappointment.

So yes, there can be problems between them, because there is a basic possibility that the relationship might end and yes, it could be now. However, it could also just be just another way to seek publicity or for the tabloids to sell more:). In that case there is a chance that there will be another post about the couple separating, maybe soon. Because one thing is for sure: they are beautiful people and they fill a lot of blogs.

Divorce for Princess Elena of Spain

The Spanish Princess Elena will divorce. In 2006 she and her husband (los Duques de Lugo) started living apart to reconsider their marriage and now they decided that it is really over and they asked for a divorce.
The news comes with a typical combination of transits and progressions related to her natal chart, involving the Ascendant, Venus and Uranus. The affliction of Venus and Uranus in the chart of a woman shows the possibility of divorce.

a. Transit Uranus - Venus - Ascendant
Transit Uranus at 22d43m Pisces is exactly conjunct her Progressed Venus and both are square the progressed Ascendant.

b. Natal Uranus - Venus - Ascendant
Uranus is sesquisquare the conjunction of Venus and Ascendant in the natal chart.

The transit 'copied' the combination of the natal chart and that is what makes this transit so strong. It is activating the existing potential.

ASPECTS WITH A RISK TO GET DIVORCED
Here is a list of difficult aspects for getting or staying married, as composed by the astrologer Ram:

In a man's chart they are:
Hard aspects between Moon and Saturn or Neptune, Venus and Neptune, Mars and Uranus.

In a female's chart they are:
Hard aspects between Sun and Mars or Uranus, Venus and Uranus, Mars and Saturn.

And in the charts of both genders:Afflictions between the 1st and 7th house (rulers)

I found that Venus in Aries or Mars in Libra do not make relationships easy. Neither does the placement of Neptune on the horizon in the charts of females. Hard aspects between Moon, Venus and/or Mars illustrate that it may be hard to find a match (and so the nativity needs to compromise).

Venus, Uranus and the charts of Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe

Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe had a flash light relationship together for a few (short periods of) time. That is what he mentions in the book about his life.
Flash light in a relationship is often symbolized by Uranus. Marilyn had Venus semi sextile Uranus. Tony has Venus square Uranus. Venus and Uranus combinations reflect the desire for tension, excitement and 'thrills' like when you are in love. Of course this is not beneficial for long lasting (or dull) relationships. In the charts of women Venus-Uranus is one of the 4 aspect combinations that reflect a higher chance to get a divorce.

Venus-Uranus is for 'firework in a rollercoaster': see the post on Astropost. Or read about Venus-Uranus on my site Astromarkt...
Another idea is to read 'Catherina the Great and her young lovers' to see another example of the Venus-Uranus effect. She had Venus inconjunct Uranus and an outrageous amount of 'flashing' relationships!

In the article on Astromarkt I wrote about sharing this aspect:

"Venus-Uranus is for sharing the same love of music, dancing and adventures. Venus-Uranus could be the shared aspect for falling in love for a short period of time."

Famous couple: Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson

Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson were married once and perhaps they have children together, who knows. Their strange relationship raises the question: did they match? And the answer is: not in the long term, but...there are indications for a shared passion. So perhaps she speaks the truth when she says that she and Michael Jackson were lovers. Look at the synastry, for example.

SYNASTRY
Michael's Venus is exactly square the Mars and Jupiter of Debbie. Her Mars-Jupiter opposition refers to having babies (multi productivity). So perhaps THAT is why he liked her in the first place?

His Uranus is trine her Sun. That is a sign of friendship (and a certain distance). Her Uranus is conjunct his Venus and that is an indication for a flash light relationship (and offers a possibility of an adventure or falling in love - perhaps one of them did).

MATCH?
Her Moon in Libra does not match with his in Pisces, but they can both like arts and music and perhaps that is what brought them together.
Their Suns don't match (Virgo and Sagittarius).
Their Mercury's and Venus match, so they understood each other and had fun together, sharing the same sympathies and tastes.
His Mars is conjunct hers (within 5 degrees) and that reflects cooperation and sexual activity or productivity.

CONCLUSION
There is no astrological reason why Deborah Rowe should not be the mother of his children. Apparently there was mutual sympathy and a shared passion. They also share an aspect between Venus and Uranus and that (again) shows that they were friends and had a short affaire perhaps.
Of course, there are no hours of birth available, but nevertheless it is obvious that it could have been luv, really! (Why would you marry a woman that you don't like anyway?)

Venus and Uranus: exciting love

Venus is the planet of love and entertainment. Uranus is the planet of controversy. So if you attract controversial lovers or if your love life is hot news, Uranus might be involved. Venus-Uranus is frequent in the chart of pop musicians, and some of them have a reputation with women (Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger, David Bowie – quindecile -). The world of entertainment is exciting…
Artist and 'freewheeling lovers' may have Venus-Uranus aspect or midpoint combinations or Venus and Uranus prominent in their Astro I.D. The aspects provides sense of rhyhm.
Uranus also urges to haste and speed. Uranus helps to fall in love easily (and sometimes blindfolded:). In love this aspect could cause marriages with the wrong person, too soon. With Venus-Uranus adventures in love are not unthinkable. In some cultures these adventures won't be experienced by the woman, but by her partner. The other woman is the Venus-Uranus woman. (But what if you are the other woman?:)

SUN-URANUS and VENUS-URANUS DIVORCES
Sun or Venus afflicted by Uranus in the natal chart of a woman often is one of the 'bad signs' for long lasting relationships.

Examples?
1.
Lisa Marie Presley (who gave birth to a twin recently married 4 times (and divorced 3 times). She has Sun in Aquarius and there is a sesquisquare with Uranus within 2 degrees of orb. She also had Venus in Capricorn square Saturn and that makes it easy to see the mistakes and the disadvantages of a marriage and a partner. She was born February 1, 1968 in Memphis.

2.
Elisabeth Taylor (who is very ill now and recently went to the UK to say farewell to her family members there) has Venus in Aries (good sign for love at first sight, bad sign for keeping the fire burning) conjunct Uranus (good for an artist and falling in love, producing however a flashlight-relationship), in the 5th equal house of games (and opposite sex). Her oriental Mars might indicate an orientation on males...She married 8 times, twice with the same man. Here is her chart...


3.
Princess Caroline of Monaco married 3 times and had one divorce. The second husband died in an accident. She has Sun opposition Uranus in the 5th house, Jupiter (for multitude) in the 7th house of marriage and Mars sesquisquare Saturn. Sun-Mars and Mars-Saturn afflictions in the chart of a woman are, like Sun or Venus with Uranus indications for more than one (and if there are too many of these indications, no!) marriage. See her chart:


4. Jennifer Aniston has Venus opposition Uranus, orb 5,5 degrees (translated light by Jupiter in the 6th degree of Libra). She also has Sun square Mars, but that is another story. Sun square Mars is another sign for possible problems in longlasting relationships. The 3rd indication in her chart is Venus in Aries (!) sesquisquare Mars. Venus and Mars rule the 1st and 7th house!

5. Dutch singer/entertainer Ria Valk (born February 11, 1941 in Eindhoven; started her carreer imitating Elvis Presley and is now a painter) has the Sun tightly square Uranus and she recently decided that it was better for her to remain alone. Her first husband died and her second marriage ended in divorce.

More examples:
- J.K. Rowling (Venus conjunct Uranus, 31-7-1965 Chipping Sodburry)
- Cindy Sheehan (Venus conjunct Uranus, 10071957 134000 PDT, Inglewood
- Soraya (Venus wide square Uranus and Venus semi square Sun/Uranus), 22061932 094600 GMT Isfahan
- Jane Mansfield (Venus conjunct Uranus, 19041933 091100 EST Bryn Mawr PA
- Kim Novak (Venus semi square Sun/Uranus),13021933 061300 CST Chicago
- Diana Ross (Venus square Uranus 23031944 224600 EST Detroit

BTW you can have divorces withóut these aspects, too, but most of the time it will cause more upheavel with than without!

VENUS-URANUS TRANSIT, PROGESSION AND COMPOSITION CHARTS
A progressed aspect between Venus and Uranus might just be a butterfly passing by or a flashlight relationship. It can also be an unexpected new hobby or pleasure (Venus is not per se love!) that will not last for long. I had it when I went to a carnival weekend. Loved it! But haven’t done it again…
With Venus in Gemini connected to Uranus you might start dancing, all of the sudden. Venus-Uranus is for surprises and unexpected bruses in love. Never a dull moment with Venus-Uranus! But sometimes when marriages crash, there will be injuries. That is the other side of Venus-Uranus.


The marriage of Prince Andrew and Sarah Fergusson is a fine example of Venus-Uranus in the composite chart…
