Pauley Perrette – a contradictory mix of talent and temperament

Actress Pauley Perrette, the forensic goth Abby Sciuto in top-rated NCIS TV series, has left after 15 seasons, letting fly with a few tweets about physical assaults.  Which turned out to be an on-set fracas with the lead (Jethro Gibbs) Mark Harmon’s dog, who bit a crew member as he was playing with him. She says she had decided to leave for other reasons but in the past two seasons has not acted with Harmon in the same scene.

Never my favourite character, she has nonetheless had an interesting life and range of talents, with a degree in criminal justice, a part-time singing career and the highest Q score of female artists (= brand familiarity and appeal rating). Her first marriage ended after 3 years with a restraining order against her ex and accusations of abuse; and in subsequent relationships she foreswore marriage until same-sex marriage are legalized in the US.

Born 27 March 1969, she has a chart split into three almost contradictory parts. Her pro-active Aries Sun is opposition a lucky Jupiter Uranus and trine Mars in crusading Sagittarius, making her lively and outgoing. She also has a self-protective and creative Water Grand Trine of Mercury in Pisces trine a Cancer Moon trine Neptune in Scorpio, formed into a Kite by Mercury opposition Pluto  as well as opposition Jupiter Uranus – not always realistic, but capable of putting her views across forcefully. She also has a notable and tricky Yod of Neptune sextile Pluto inconjunct Saturn Venus in Aries. Saturn in Aries is self-reliant, quite hard-edged and as a Yod apex planet demands a good deal of maturity for it to operate well. Venus on a Yod can be influential in the arts and public relations.

Tr Uranus was opposing her Saturn Venus as she decided to leave, setting her on a new track; though it won’t be an easy adjustment with tr Pluto moving to square both in 2021/2022.
