Renee Zellweger is getting good reviews for Bridget Jones’s Baby, third in the franchise, co-written by Emma Thompson and also starring Colin Firth and Patrick Dempsey (late of Gray’s Anatomy).
Born 25 April 1969 2.41pm Baytown, Texas, she’s ideally cast as the chaotic, emotionally dysfunctional Bridget. She has a secretive and determined Taurus Sun conjunct Saturn in late Aries, both in the 8th house; with her Saturn on the focal point of a Yod to Neptune in the 3rd sextile Jupiter Uranus (Pluto) – so a curious mix of confident, stressed, constantly changing, never feeling she fits in, having to be self-reliant, vague, defensive about commitment. She’s also got a hidden 12th house Leo Moon trine a 4th house Mars in Sagittarius – so a complicated childhood and adult emotional life. She’s had various relationships and one six month marriage.
She disappeared off the scene in 2010 and this is her first movie since. That was when tr Saturn was moving through her lower profile first quadrant, a time when people want to rebalance their lives and find more personal space. Tr Saturn is now into her 2nd quadrant as she emerges back into the world after a few years of anonymity.
She does have tr Pluto opposition her Sun/Jupiter through 2016/17 which will lift her confidence. Though she’s also got tr Neptune square her Midheaven which hints at a degree of uncertainty about what comes next. Her Secondary Progressed Venus is exactly conjunct her Sun now which does suggest a significant emotional relationship or event.
Tr Uranus will conjunct her focal point Saturn in 2018 which will cause quite a shake up and will put her onto a completely new track.
The film started shooting on 2 Oct 2015 with an exuberant Mars Jupiter conjunction in a successful trine to Pluto which has to augur well.
