Singer Adele has finished her two year residency at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas which earned her a reputed $100 million for her 100 weekend shows and says she intends to take an extended break with no clear plans about what comes next. Though it may include marrying her sports agent fiancée and having another child.
Born 5 May 1988 8.19 am London (biography), she has an expansive and enthusiastic Sun Jupiter in Taurus in a lucky and confident opposition to Pluto squaring onto a stubborn and enduring Mars in Aquarius. She is quite a dynamo. Plus she was born at the time of the triple conjunction of the inspired but can be chaotic Neptune, Saturn, Uranus in Capricorn with her late Sagittarius Moon conjunct Uranus and Saturn giving her a complicated emotional background. Her parents split when she was 2.
At the moment her Solar Arc Neptune is exactly square her Sun which will lower her motivation and energy, bringing confusion and indecision. Tr Pluto is also moving through her 8th since 2021 which tends to bring profound experiences and a heavier tone to life.
Tr Saturn is in her upper quadrant until late 2032 so she’s unlikely to go into permanent retirement, which would not anyway suit her fairly hard-driving temperament. But she will be backwards and forwards with an uncertain tr Neptune Saturn square her Uranus and then Saturn in 2025/26; and her SA Neptune moving to conjunct her Mars in 2027/28 for a slump along with a stuck SA Saturn square her Pluto. So it will be stop start ahead. Tr Jupiter bouncing across her Ascendant after mid 2025 will revive her spirits and confidence, making her more outgoing.
Add On: Concerning weight loss (see Deirdre comment below), what is intriguing is that Alison Moyet, 18 June 1961 9.30am Billericay, England and K.D. Lang, 2 November 1961 2.03AM Edmonton, Canada as well as Adele all have Moon Uranus conjunctions which would not have sprung to mind as a common factor in weight. Except on reflection having a sense of separation from mother/nurturing would bring a need to compensate. Alison Moyet has a particularly afflicted Moon being conjunct Mars as well as Uranus; and K.D. Lang has a Moon, Uranus, Pluto conjunction. Taking away the comfort blanket of food is likely to bring up more than usually strong feelings of deprivation.
Alison Moyet has Jupiter in the 6th which has a reputation for indulgence. Adele has her Moon Uranus in her 6th pointing to a link between emotional wellbeing and appetite. K.D. Lang has her South Node and Chiron in her 6th for issues around her body.
I’ve had weight problems since puberty. I have libra rising, so Venus ruled and Venus exactly conjunct jupiter in sag. So expanding and love of sweets!
I have moon conjunct Uranus and have struggled with weight my entire life. However, my first Saturn return I lost five stone with weight watchers. My second Saturn return has seen me lose two stone (and more to come).
I also have Moon conjunct Uranus and both are conjunct Mars in Gemini. When I was young I was naturally extremely thin, no matter what I ate. I was not anorexic but just thin as I was always on the go. As Marjorie says, Moon Uranus can signify mother separation issues, which I experienced so perhaps the Mars element in the stellium was a kind of hyper activity as a form of diversion from the painful mother separation problems. These started when I nearly died as a 6 month old baby in India when I was forced to abruptly stop being breast fed by a fever and the doctor told my mother to feed me on brandy and whey or I would die! Later separation issues arose when I was sent to boarding school in England and later in life she suffered from mental health problems and committed suicide. I think the violence that Mars describes combined with the Moon Uranus illustrates that. Now I’m old and a mother myself I am of normal size and don’t need to lose weight or put it on and am no longer teased for looking like a stick insect..
That’s interesting in the weight issue Marjorie. What I have observed is slightly different but supports your analysis. I have seen that there is often either an out of bounds moon or a planetary station in a Moon or Venus ruled sign. The more public ones tend to be OOB (most often it’s the moon), this is the case with Adele and Oprah (and Lizzo I think). The lower key ones like KD Lang and Alison Moyet are the stations. I suspect the latter two are more about their life direction than public image.
I don’t know if this is about weight or women with these Astro traits being able to break through despite not being what society demands a successful woman to look like.
Transit Uranus was sextile Adele’s Ascendant in 2019, in 2020 she emerged with her new physique. The Asc, how we look, Uranus, sudden change. Tr Uranus was conjunct her Sun/Jupiter conjunction, indicating change to her appearance. My basic take on it. Interesting that I myself have Moon conjunct Uranus and my weight has fluctuated. Currently Tr Saturn was square Mercury (my 6th house ruler) when I began my weight loss journey this year. Also Tr Mercury opp Uranus and trine my Sun at the same time. I’ve lost over 2.5 stone.
The very talented actor, Timothy Spall, 27 February 1967, lost a dramatic-looking amount of weight in the past decade. He said he wanted to change his career choices, and was tired of playing ‘avuncular’ overweight characters. Sadly, no birth time I can find, although Moon, Mercury, Venus and BML are all in Aquarius.
However, he began losing weight in 2014 when tr Saturn in Scorpio opposed his Mars in comfort-eating Taurus. Saturn went on to square natal Mercury and Venus in Aquarius, Pluto in Leo, and conjunct the NN in Scorpio. So, certainly Saturn’s restrictive nature sent a clear message that year. And he’s maintained his ‘new’ figure too.
I think Saturn crossing your ascendant (how you present yourself to the world, your priorities) can signify lessening of body mass, as well as Saturn crossing your Sun (your you).
Actor Don Orville was in the news about weight loss a few days ago, but I haven’t gone into much detail.
Another person whose weight was often in the news is Sharon Osbourne, and certainly Oprah Winfrey through the years, ascendant Sagittarius, prone to gaining weight (obvious Jupiter influence, inflating, too much, excess).
Not actor Don Orville – that is the character from 3rd Rock from the Sun name who he played. The actor’s name is Wayne Knight.
As just an aside. A strange aside. People like Adele and also Alison Moyet. Plus people from real life. When they are chunky people who like their food. Then they suddenly lose a lot of weight. This seems…seems to me, any way, to sap something in their spirit and change something for the worst. I don’t know if anyone else sees this? Obviously, people losing massive weight is a positive thing. My conflicted self tells me. Adele thin is not the Adele we know somehow. Something is lost. The joy of Adele the chunky gal is gone. A flame has gone out. Alison Moyet is another example for me. Alison was a big swinging heavy clunk dancing ‘We All Need A Love’ on Top Of The Pops. I remember. But there was a smile above that big heavy jaw. There was a verve. The Alison thin is a very different person to me. There is a misery in the person. Where food fits in. I don’t know exactly. i am guessing it was a comfort and a habit that is being controlled. But that seems to bring that misery. Alison Moyet the talent of Yazoo. Come on ‘Nobody’s Diary’ is magical any time it is heard. There was something alive. The Alison Moyet I saw on a recent documentary was an older person, obviously. But it this Alison thin was with the lights out. There was no joy in the person anymore. Alison thin produces music that is not like the new persona. Lifeless. She had realised herself and took an extraordinary step of completely erasing a recorded album of new songs fully recorded because the music was lifeless. Looking at Adele and Alison chunkies as potential thin girls in their past was an idea. The soulless characters they seem to become after massive dieting seems not to be worthwhile. Heaviness is unhealthy, I do know. But the effect on these artists has sapped their personalities, their joy and they are no longer producing anything beautiful.
Alison Moyet didn’t want to be heavy in old age – wear and tear, incapacity, heavy to lift for others?
Adele has a fine voice but perhaps believes her own publicity somewhat these days? (hampering creativity?): Kelly Clarkson has a similar voice? Loved her singing all my love with chris martin and her rendition of all by myself (just wow) 🙂
KD Lang has also (gained and) lost weight? crying and hallelujah? Perhaps there is sometimes a transition period to singing the life of the other weigh?
She has a Sling pattern with focal Venus projecting into an emotional
stellium of Moon-Uranus-Saturn-Neptune, 6th, health.
POSITIVE: Freedom of feeling aids the person in coping with difficulties.
Emotional openness fosters psychic ability.
NEGATIVE: Emotional upheavals lead to frustation and depression.
Emotional inconsistency and upsetting feelings cause confusion
