In episode 36 astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield ring in Gemini season with not one, but TWO Geminis! The coupling between Oscar winning actress Natalie Portman and ballet dancer and choreographer extraordinaire, Benjamin Millepied definitely got our attention. After first meeting on the set of "Black Swan" in 2009, the pair quickly fell in love and were engaged in 2010 - when they also announced they were expecting their first child! In 2012 they were officially married and have been together ever since. Clearly there is something cosmic happening between them!
First, we look at Natalie’s chart, which displays a Gemini Sun and Virgo Moon, telling us she is an intelligent, analytical, thoughtful, and grounded woman. However, with Neptune making contact to both planets, we find a watered down, perhaps gentler version of the Gemini archetype. Natalie also has very little fixed sign energy in her chart, so her nomadic and transient lifestyle with her husband makes sense.
Next, we dive into Benjamin’s natal chart and also encounter a Gemini Sun and Virgo energy through his rising sign, sharing that intellectual curiosity with Natalie, as well as telling us he's a fixer and likes to be of service. Along with a grand fire trine, we can see that the physical expression of his body is highly important! His strong Sun/Jupiter conjunction makes his reach across different continents very broad.
Together, their Gemini Suns are conjunct, which means communication flies at lightning speed, but there might be some competition of who gets center stage. Additionally, both have Neptune and Sun oppositions so this can be a mutually confusing relationship. On the other hand, there are multitudes of Mercury aspects (a Gemini couple would have it no other way!) making their communication a core fundamental value. Listen in to hear what Venus score we give these two mercurial celebrities!
