Ewan McGregor – an action-man Aries with a wandering Gemini Moon

Ewan McGregor appears to have been struck by the Hollywood curse on marriages after splitting from his long-time wife, production designer Eve Mavrakis.

Born 31 March 1971 8.10pm Perth, Scotland, he has an Aries Sun opposition Uranus square Mars in Capricorn, so will always need excitement and risk; plus a constantly-changing Gemini Moon. He’s also got an 8^th house Saturn in Taurus trine a 12^th house Pluto, so will be self-contained and not always open to intimacy.

His wife Eve, 22 June 1966, France, is a family oriented Sun Jupiter in Cancer with a Leo Moon. They aren’t the easiest of mixes with her Venus in Taurus opposition Neptune sitting on top of his Saturn; her outspoken Mars in Gemini conjunct his Moon; and her Saturn opposition his Pluto.

Their relationship chart is quite volatile with the composite Sun and composite Mars in aspect to Pluto Jupiter Uranus – it won’t ever have been dull, but it will have veered between possessiveness and the urge for space, so quite contradictory. Great highs and some lows. Plus a composite Sun opposition Neptune which suits the movie business but can run into trouble when the gloss wears off. It’s been under stress for some time and more so at the moment with tr Saturn in hard aspect to major points.

His career is no longer at the peak it was through Trainspotting, Star Wars, Moulin Rouge and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and his recent directorial debut American Pastoral didn’t get great reviews. But tr Saturn is slowly wending its way out of his low-profile first quadrant, to cross his IC in 2019 which should lift him up career-wise at that point. Plus he’s been through a punishing run of the tr Uranus square tr Pluto hitting on his central Sun Uranus Mars T Square, which cleared last year. Tr Uranus is moving through his 7^th (since 2015) which is often when marriages break up or at least there’s a need for more space.

His Sun/Moon midpoint at 14 Taurus isn’t picking up much but Eve’s is last decan Cancer so may be getting tr Uranus square and then tr Pluto opposition which is more testing on close relationships

It’s a shame. But few marriages survive in the febrile movie business with long separations and intense working relationships crowding out domestic ties.
