Selena Gomez, singer, actress and businesswoman, is on a roll with two Golden Globe nominations this week for the operatic musical Emilia Pérez and the other for TV’s Only Murders in the Building. This year she also joined the billionaire celebrity rich list, amassing a $1.3bn (£1bn) fortune, mainly from her Rare Beauty make-up company. And has just announced her engagement to record producer Benny Blanco, which happy news she shared with her 423 million Instagram followers.
Not a lady who doers anything by halves. She started life as a child actress on Barney and Disney Channel and had an on off relationship previously with Justin Bieber.
Born 22 July 1992 7.19am (?) Grand Prairie, Texas, she has a creative 12th house Cancer Sun square an Aries Moon conjunct her Midheaven from the 9th; with a charming, Venus Mercury in Leo on her Ascendant. She also has an ambitious and determined Mars in Taurus in her 10th conjunct Algol opposition Pluto in her 4th with her Pluto square Saturn in Aquarius opposition Mercury.
It is an enormously strong chart, enduring, stubborn, not too flexible but giving her the strength to carry the burden of such extreme levels of wealth and fame. Plus she has the generational Uranus Neptune conjunction in Capricorn trine her Jupiter in Virgo – inspired and lucky.
Benny Blanco, 8 March 1988, who is a Sun Pisces with the triple conjunction in Capricorn plus Mars, making him highly strung, marginally chaotic; with an emotionally intense and possessive Moon Pluto in Scorpio. His charming Venus Jupiter in Taurus sit on her midheaven (birth time being accurate) for a looks-good and will be career-helpful connection. Though it won’t all be easy emotionally.
I was surprised to enjoy ‘Only Murders…’ largely because of the chemistry between Selena, Steve Martin and Martin Short. I had a peak at their charts, Steve’s AC and MC are very nearly exactly the same as Selena’s with his Venus, Saturn in her 12th and his Sun also in Leo in her 1st. No birthtime for Martin Short but he is an Aries Sun, with his Venus Jupiter in her 7th. One of the rare times I would like to look at a triple composite. They appear to have a good relationship beyond the show, unless that’s just PR! They are enjoyable, if unlikely, on screen though.
Generally speaking, are planets conjunct the midheaven from the 9th still beneficial? Or, are they best located in the tenth? Opinions from all appreciated 🙂
I find it interesting that her Mercury opposes Saturn, and they are both retrograde. What does it mean when two opposing planets are retrograde? Does it make the influence stronger or weaker? My daughter has her retro Mercury oppose her retro Neptune at 1/7 axis, and I can never make sense of it.
Big fan of Selena. She always gives me the impression of an old soul. Thank you for this reading, Marjorie.
Is that a Jupiter in the 2nd like Elivis Presley daughters
