Jodie Foster, the double Oscar-winner is back with her first role in five years in Hotel Artemis, playing an alcoholic nurse treating wounded bad guys in private hospital for criminals in a dystopian future Los Angeles. Described as ‘a watchable and stylish piece of work, anchored by a very strong performance from Foster, who has been aged up to look older than her years.’
She’s another who has had a very long career, starting aged 3 in commercials; playing a teenage prostitute in Scorsese’s Taxi Driver at 12; and then transitioning into adult roles in The Accused as a rape survivor; and later most memorably in The Silence of the Lambs. She’s never picked conventional or light-hearted roles, and more recently has taken to directing. She also carries the weight of being the object of John Hinckley’s obsession, who tried to impress her by attempting to assassinate Ronald Reagan, wounding him and three others. This after seeing her in Taxi Driver.
She was born 19 November 1962 8.14 am Los Angeles to a mother who divorced before she was born and she never knew her father. She has a 12th house Sun Mercury in Scorpio with Venus Neptune also in Scorpio and all square Mars in Leo at the end of the 8th house – very intense, private with all of Scorpio’s attraction to the darker side of life. Her 9th house Virgo Moon is conjunct Uranus Pluto and opposition Jupiter – so confident, adventurous but has had an erratic emotional life. Her Saturn in cool Aquarius is opposition a leadership North Node in Leo in her 8th.
Her actor’s 15th harmonic is heavily aspected though strained with a T square of Jupiter Moon MC; and a Yod of Mars (Pluto) Jupiter onto an apex Neptune.
She’ll probably slide out of sight again after this movie launch with Jupiter through her 12th for a few months; and more so with Saturn through the nadir of her first quadrant for another two or three years. Though she may bounce up in 2021 when her Solar Arc MC squares her Jupiter.
I can see that Moon conj Uranus would indicate an absent mother…..but what in the chart would indicate an absent father. Saturn is an indicator for father and Saturn, rx, would indicate an absent father …..but her Saturn isn’t retrograde??? Any one know???
Hi Morris,
I see a few things that indicate difficulties between Jodie’s parents. Saturn isn’t retro, but it is conjunct the south node. The ruler of the MC is Venus, which is retrograde and is also square Mars, which rules the IC. Also, the Sun is in the 12th, and doesn’t make a close aspect to the Moon. Overall, anything that would indicate a parental relationship is missing or poorly aspected.
