Daily news regularly puts the spotlight on all sorts of famous people. Although we are not fond of juicy information, we inevitably have an idea about a given political figure, a movie star, a Royal Highness, or a skilled sportsman. Those well-known faces draw our interest and seem familiar to us because we watch their successes or their setbacks day by day. Astrology may also be considered as an interesting filter to better define their personality and to guess whether the events they experience are confirmed by their planets’ activities. Astrology does not reveal everything, of course, but using the dominants and other peculiarities of the natal chart, we can see whether the astrological portrait matches the collective image or offers unsuspected additional nuances.
Sandra Bullock’s Astrological Chart
According to her horoscope, Sandra Bullock has a temperament characterized by very different and complex facets. On one hand, this Leo, whose unaspected Sun has the power to roar freely, knows how to assert herself. In addition, she has a fair amount of personal magnetism. In this field indeed, nothing is more obvious than the Ascendant which is tightly flanked by a Venus-Mars conjunction. The two planets, which in biology represent the feminine and masculine attributes, respectively, work together to endow the actress with undeniable sex appeal. It is most likely that she is aware of it, since Venus and Mars have an effect on her ego. However, the fact that Venus is posited in the 12th House (a few degrees from the Ascendant), suggests that she sometimes lets reason prevail over sensibility.
In addition, this Venus-Mars duet, which ought to be analyzed together, also sends a nice sextile to Mercury, their ruler posited in Leo. This feature strengthens Bullock’s taste for action and for personal expression. This is what can be said about her rough personality. One may recognize the protagonist of many suspense movies such as Speed, or those which highlight her sense of humor: Miss Congeniality, The Proposal, While You Were Sleeping, Two Weeks Notice. Miss Bullock is living proof that romantic comedies can be as helpful as Prozac!
However, it is necessary to look beyond this great Leo-Gemini-Mercury-Venus-Mars traits. The actress must also deal with a more austere planet, Saturn, conjunct her Midheaven. As if she enjoyed a special place in the film industry and had to face her destiny by herself. Indeed, the planet is opposed to Uranus, of course, a generational planet, but also to Mercury, ruler of the Ascendant and of the 4th House (the family). It is most likely that break-ups have been all the more brutal that her celebrity is in conflict with her private life and that she resents the fact that it is too much exposed to the public eye. It was precisely about Sandra Bullock that the media coined “The Oscar Curse.”
Her marriage dramatically fell apart in 2010 after she received an award for The Blind Side, a title which painfully conjures up her former husband’s behavior. Pluto transiting her 7th House had already announced deep changes in the field of marriage. Then, Jupiter transiting the last degrees of Pisces sparked things off by hitting the Venus-Mars conjunction, and brought about the final clapperboard signal.
In 2013, change of scenery, fortunately. It is very likely that she will experience tremendous blossoming with Jupiter transiting her 1st House, and that she will be among the people who will feel twice the effect of the Water grand trine during the second semester. Actually, it seems that her last film was among the box-office hits.
Later in 2014, she will still be able to rely on Jupiter’s protection in her Sun sign. Therefore, her horizon line seems quite bright, and her private life should be fulfilling.
