John Travolta’s latest movie Gotti has been trashed in reviews, in part for taking an oddly sympathetic tone towards the main character, mobster John Gotti, who was serving a life sentence for murder when he died in prison. He was boss of the Gambino crime family, making millions out of racketeering, hijacking, loan sharking, drug trafficking, bookmaking, prostitution, extortion, pornography, illegal gambling etc.
Travolta was at Cannes with his vivacious wife of 27 years Kelly Preston, both high-profile Scientologists and ther two children. She is evidently an even more fervent devotee of the Hubbard cult than him and, according to an escapee, assumes everything she reads about allegations of her husband’s infidelities with men are false.
Travolta, 18 February 1954 2.53pm New Jersey, has a deeply buried 8th house in last degree Aquarius Sun conjunct Venus in Pisces trine Saturn in Scorpio and Neptune in his 4th; with his Sun opposition Pluto; and a Virgo Moon square Jupiter, square Mars and opposition Venus; and a 12th house Uranus opposition North Node square Neptune – a very complicated temperament with a complicated set of emotional needs.
Kelly Preston, 13 October 1962, Hawaii, is a Sun Libra probably opposition an Aries Moon; with a tough-minded Mars opposition Saturn (her father was killed when she was 3) widely square Neptune.
Their synastry is partly good with her Jupiter conjunct his Sun, Venus; and her Venus in Scorpio square his Pluto and Sun; and her Moon falls in his 10th so she’ll help him in his career. And partly tricksy. Her Pluto is conjunct his Moon so she will take charge; his Neptune is conjunct her Sun so she’ll find him elusive; and her Mars squares onto his Saturn with her Neptune conjunct, with her Saturn in his 7th – which is a fair amount of aggravation and confusion and hard work.
Their relationship chart has a composite good-for-business Sun Saturn Mercury square Mars, trine Pluto. Mars Saturn both in an individual and in a relationship chart indicates a suppression of sorts and usually involves one partner giving up a considerable part of themselves to hold it together.
John Gotti, 27 October 1940, was a Sun Scorpio opposition Jupiter Saturn in Taurus square Pluto – so a very tough, money-minded nut. Dick Cheney born earlier that year has an Aquarius Sun opposition Pluto square Jupiter Saturn in Taurus. My impression of Jupiter Saturn in Earth signs is it can be a good deal less pleasant and certainly idealistic than when it falls in Air signs. And there’s one coming up in Capricorn in 2020, though mercifully moving rapidly into Aquarius.
