Mel B, Scary Spice and a regular personality on Dancing with Stars, The X Factor and America’s Got Talent, is entering rehab when her busy schedule permits. Initial reports said for drink and sex addiction problems but she corrected that to PTSD stemming from her father’s death and her recent messy divorce from Stephen Belafonte.
Born 29th May 1975 6pm? Leeds, England, (6 days before Angelina Jolie) she’s a Sun Gemini with an extremely complicated chart. Her Sun is in an Air Grand Trine to Pluto and a maverick Aquarius Moon, formed into two Kites by Sun opposition Neptune and Pluto opposition Mars – making up a talented three-quarter Grand Sextile.
Sun Neptune Pluto makes for stratospheric ambitions – and the Spice Girls were the best-selling female group of all time. She’ll be very up-in-her-head with an Air Grand Trine and impractical with no Earth planets. Pluto opposition a driving-planet Mars will bring extreme frustrations plus anger and impulsivity issues.
Her Jupiter in Aries squares Saturn which is very up and down; and her Venus in Cancer is conjunct Saturn and square Uranus. A curious mix of possessive with Moon Sun Pluto and rebellious and emotionally unpredictable from Venus Uranus; with Venus Saturn sending her constantly in search of a romantic fix and it can be associated with sex addiction.
Her emotional life has been tumultuous, with multiple relationships – a messy divorce from dancer Jimmy Gulzar with allegations against him of assault; a child by Eddie Murphy; and an eye-raising marriage to Stephen Belafonte with accusations flying on both sides through the split and a suggestion that her over-the-top lifestyle had wiped out her mega-millions from her Spice days.
If her birth time is sound then her Sun/Moon midpoint, the marriage signifier, is conjunct Mars and opposition her Pluto – so unsurprising all the above.
Her Venus is stressed at the moment by tr Pluto in opposition through 2019 as well; and Solar Arc Neptune is in opposition to her Venus as well at the moment for emotional confusion and disappointment; plus tr Saturn this year making a very blocked square to her Mars opposition Pluto. She’s also on her mid-life crisis Uranus opposition Uranus – hopefully making sensible decisions about leaving her chaotic past behind and moving towards a steadier future. She looks in better spirits from early 2019 till late 2020 with tr Pluto conjunct her Jupiter/Uranus midpoint which may take some of the strain off her. Her Progressed Sun will conjunct her Venus around 2021 for a significant love coming into her life.
Also, if MS doesnt look good shape in natal could it develop better prospects in progressed or solar arc charts? Maybe I’m just stretching.
Sun/Moon midpoint, the marriage signifier – in general, is this on the natal chart or a relocated chart?
On the birth chart – literally half way between the Moon and and the Sun – the link between Yin and Yang. V useful for telling in general how individual’s approach marriage though it isn’t always in aspect to planets. Even more so when it comes to stress/separation in a marriage.
