life of famous and wealthy actress - ambassador - preemptive double mastectomy

INTRODUCTION: Although she has no planet in Aquarius, she does have though Sun in the 11th house (Aqua/Uranus house), whenever she shines (Sun) she shocks (11th) the collective mind. 11th house people tend to do that, even when is not intentional. To complete, natal angular Uranus [eccentric] square Asc by exact orbs. Angelina Jolie considered the last real movie star [one of them] before technology became successful and allowed people to become famous much easier.

PLUTO OPPOSITE MOON-MARS-JUPITER

POWER OF PERSONALITY

"If I think more about death than some other people, it is probably because I love life more than they do."

Sexy Jolie in Youth

Angelina Jolie no doubt led a life of darkness and pleasure, but when she went above it, she also experienced enlightenment and recognized growth.  In youth she had quite an eccentric life-style that many wouldn’t dare owing it [Asc square Uranus]. With 6 years old she began collecting snakes and other crawly things, names her favorite lizard Vladimir and her favorite snake Harry Dean Stanton – Star Trek’s Mr. Spock wins her heart. In 2000 Jolie’s dad James Voight begs her to stop doing her own stunts after she gets all cut up during a chandelier scene in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton renew wedding vows in their kitchen two days after Tomb’s premiere, no rings, only the exchanging blood through the sucking of each other’s finger is their binding. 

Pluto the planet of death and rebirth is opposite ruler of 1st house of personality, which in turn is part of an Aries stellium including personal Mars and social Jupiter. Pluto in natal 3rd house, would mean that death would be a common topic on her mind, wanting or not – In 2001 a few days before Tomb Raider is lunched, in the hit of the moment, Angelina admits she almost hires a hitman to kill her because, in her mind, suicide would be too much for her family to deal with.

SATURN SQUARE MC/MOON/MARS/JUPITER

MANIAC DEPRESSIVE

"When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire."

The stellium in Aries would suggest a rebel youth, even if Uranus wasn’t actually square Asc. From collecting knives and an interest in mortuary science, as a child, this famous international celebrity wanted to become a funeral director. In 1988 Jolie begins cutting herself at the age of 13th. Add violent cutter and bloody Mars in the Jolie’s game, a year before graduating in high school she asks punk boyfriend to cut her jaw. In 1996 Angelina marries British actor Jonny Lee Miller, wearing black trousers and white shirt. Paints his name with her blood on the back of the shirt. Saturn in malefic aspects to personal planets, are said to leverage a series of depression along life which seems to ‘please’ in some way or another the individual. Add Moon-Mars, you may have someone maniac depressive, someone lunatic and aroused about dolor and gloominess. As if the disease would open their door to most terrifying things in life, and they actually forget it open deliberately. Tattoos include the Japanese sign for death, two pointy black American Indian symbols, a dragon, and a large black cross. Tattoos include the Japanese sign for death, two pointy black American Indian symbols, a dragon, and a large black cross.

Brad Pitt once wrote: “She has lost 30 pounds and weighted about 90 pounds in her 35 years. She got very skinny, and was constantly crying. She was not a happy woman. She had suffered from continuing headaches, heart pain and jammed nerves in her back and ribs. She did not sleep well, falling asleep only in the morning and got tired very quickly during the day… She refused to shoot the films and rejected any role. I lost hope and thought that we’ll get divorced soon… I began to pamper her with flowers, kisses and compliments. I surprised her and pleased her every minute. I gave her lots of gifts and lived just for her. I spoke in public only about her. I incorporated all themes in her direction. I praised her in front of her own and our mutual friends. You won’t believe it, but she blossomed. She became even better than before. She gained weight, was no longer nervous and she loved me even more than ever. I had no clue that she CAN love that much.”

VENUS RISES IN CANCER BOUDED WITH SATURN

BORN TO BE ADMIRED BY MILLIONS
BUT IN TERMS OF GREAT RESPONSIBILITIES

"In countries where people have to flee their homes because of persecution and violence, political solutions must be found, peace and tolerance restored, so that refugees can return home. In my experience, going home is the deepest wish of most refugees."

As Jolie matured and become saturated with the ordinary, in 2001 she invests in the future of the world and her own when United Nations appoints her Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva, Switzerland. Dodecatemoria of the Ascendant in Jolie’s chart is at 16º Gemini in the 11th house. She can’t avoid thinking about being unique and eccentric, but also thinking about humanitarian activities, as it serves a sort of wallpaper in the back of her mind. Once she complained about those with money and power that don’t give away part of their wealth to charities or humanitarian movements.

Venus the great benefic planet rises in conjunction to 1st house cusp in Angelina’s chart. Although as a public person she was fit to be admired, she found it in terms with greater responsibilities attached later in life. Venus is bounded with Saturn [responsibilities], which in turn is rejoiced in 12th house and is in Sect in the diurnal radix. That is, things would get better and more relief later in life. Worth remember also that Venus the great benefic and Jupiter the greatest are both the victorious planets from the radix, the planets of admiration and fanaticism. Angelina Jolie has for many year millions of loyal fans that are found of her artistic abilities, humanitarian tendencies and personal life.

KIDS ARE THE KEY
TO HAPPINESS

NORTH NODE IN 5TH HOUSE

Angelina Jolie and eldest kids have night at the museum - thezodiacus.com

The Lunar Nodes in the radix of Jolie do not make any aspect, they are nothing but to fulfill they role as it should without interference from any planet. The North Node of the Moon, is the pathway which is supposed to bring happiness and serenity, much alike Saturn, but with the Moon’s touch. Here we find the key to unlock an alien door to another kind of universe we thought we would never understand in this life, as that happened to be the opposite. We come to this life so sure about our South Node, we can use it so easy [as it shows past skills from others lives], but one day the easy becomes unsatisfying.

"I never thought I'd have children; I never thought I'd be in love, I never thought I'd meet the right person. Having come from a broken home - you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don't look for them"

In Angelina’s case, the nodes fall in the 5th-11th axis in the chart, foretelling us that at first, children [5th house] would be actually alien to her, but once practical and acted on the subject, it becomes a new source of emotional stability. When young, Angelina didn’t like/enjoy the idea of having a baby inside her. Of the 6 children, one is biological.

1988 – Self-Mutilating: All her angular planets rose or culminated by primary direction before 15 years old. Thus, we shall observe more the aspectual directions to angles, though all were investigated. For example, when Saturn rises by primary direction, Angelina Jolie then in her 13 years old began cutting herself.

Jolie proudly holds the status award [picture above]. Note that the Arc in the illustration is 23.96 – translating to the astrologer the some kind of reward [Saturn] was to be given the native [1st house] when reaching 24 years old or so, considering also a major beginning in career [Saturn trine Moon]. Since the direction took place earlier than 30’s, we shall ignore the key, which if added anyhow is only off 3 months later the actual event. When considering the transits, transiting Saturn was in her 10th house of career and rewards, while North Node [path of happiness] was conjunct Almudebit Venus, the victorious and cusp of 1st house of winning.

preemptive double mastectomy

This part was written in 2013 - updated by Dusky in July 2019 with primary direction

PREVENTIVE JOLIE [2013]

THE TRANSITING URANUS SQUARE PLUTO

“Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.”

In order to prevent a cancer in her breasts, an unfortunate disease that kills more than 480.000 women in a year, the great and humanitarian star have decided to cut the breasts off before cancer gets to her there, according the test she has taken in early 2013, it would point that she had about 87% of chances from getting cancer in the breasts. As the star has natally Moon-Mars-Jupiter conjunction, it reveals someone with a casual optimism towards the mother figure in her life, bringing to the native a feeling of an affirmative abundance protection, unless the mother is no longer in the life, it could release a great deal of inspiration and courage from the mother in her actual acts in her present life, the Moon represents the Mother, and as Jolie points out in her personal letter about the treatment she has gone to:

“MY MOTHER fought cancer for almost a decade and died at 56. She held out long enough to meet the first of her grandchildren and to hold them in her arms. But my other children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was.”

As with Mars there at the conjunction, she also wants to cause inspiring acts for the ladies around the world:

“For any woman reading this, I hope it helps you to know you have options. I want to encourage every woman, especially if you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, to seek out the information and medical experts who can help you through this aspect of your life, and to make your own informed choices.”

Astrologers assume that transiting Pluto has a lot to do with such an extreme transformation, as it is squaring her natal Moon (breasts), she says at the beginning of the letter how powerless someone with cancer would feel as it destroys the person little by little, however, fighting the cancer could unload a potential chain of self-healing, once you start the preventive procedures or already in treatment, even when there are times when surrender seems like the ultimate options, but Pluto transform us in a deep way so we can actually value in what there is in our life, in this case she did that not only to herself, but to her sons and daughters. Pluto also have the power to make us feeling powerless, because when we have the power we taste something above us, a higher energy that transforms others, but when powerless we can see the underworld from a steady angle, feeling depressed and sad are usually the effects that this angle brings to the conscious, and as she (I think) have been thinking and reflection over the issue for a time since, she then decided that it was time to leave the underworld and dig out from the grave in order to see the sunlight, the soul itself.  Pluto squaring Mars casts out a challenge to be torn apart and reconstruct in some way:

As she finished the procedures, she states:

“On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.”

The Moon and Pluto are feminine energy, she doesn’t feel less woman (Moon), it actually empowered (Pluto) her at the deep level and made her stronger (Mars), as she states with optimism (Jupiter). The reconstruction of the breasts was made by implant, and she also points that it seems very natural and beautiful, and now she feels relief that her family is not going to worry in the future about her having a cancer breast, thus she is found to be with 5% of chances of getting it.

In my view, it is interesting to point out that another transit is essential as to clarify at Angelina’s astrological chart: The forming Uranus square Pluto is strong in her chart, as Uranus too came closer to her Moon, although it was then conjunction her Mars. When outer planet reaches Mars in our chart, sometimes we are put under surgery and this case with Pluto involved with her Mars and Moon, it exposes the individual to a deep and transformative one at the physical (Mars) and psychological (Pluto) level, and plus a Uranus force it can make it as an unpredictable decision. With Jupiter involved and Mars, it became even easier to take the necessary steps, as both are fiery energy and Jupiter brings confidence while Mars brings out the courage and Pluto rejects what no longer serves. With Uranus in conjunction to her Moon (Breasts) and Mars (cutting off) it puts a significant thematic in her life where her private and home life are affected, so as her drive to make initiative steps in order to change and transform it, where Pluto is also involved.

Of course that what she did is not all the women in the world that can afford it and that is terrible, however it is the predisposition and reality of the now-world. And Angelina Jolie knows that, as being the mainly representative of ONU and a declared humanist, she is aware of the poverty that destroys the hope of so many families, but this could no distract the fact she made a wonderful and afflatus decision that could lead many women to do the same (well, at least women in her same conditions), or at least make governments reflect about:

“Breast cancer alone kills some 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. It has got to be a priority to ensure that more women can access gene testing and lifesaving preventive treatment, whatever their means and background, wherever they live. The cost of testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2, at more than $3,000 in the United States, remains an obstacle for many women. I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options. “

In Primary Direction, there is also a way to calculate the movements of the terms of each Zodiac sign, specially dedicated to angular significators. For example, when promissor Sagittarius bounded with Mars reached the Dsc, Jolie submits herself under surgery. The Descendant is where planets settle, so in life. This degree of the Jolie’s Zodiac is practically the cusp of the 6th house of health and preventive practices on the body.
