Rebecca Adlington – high hopes that crumbled

Rebecca Adlington, the UK Olympic Gold Medal swimmer, 7 Feb 1989, had a splashy HELLO wedding in 2014, a baby in 2015 and split earlier this year from her husband Harry Needs, 29 March 1992.

All a great shame with a young baby but it was an odd match. She’s got an Aquarius Sun square an ultra-determined Mars in Taurus opposition Pluto. That clashes uncomfortably with his Saturn (Moon) in Aquarius; and he’s got a Pluto trine Mars – so equally determined.  Both have the highly-strung Uranus Neptune in Capricorn.

She’s probably got a Pisces Moon and Venus in Aquarius; while he is an Aries Sun. Not an intuitive match.

The wedding took place on 8 September 2014 when Neptune Moon in Pisces was opposition Venus so ethereal but not realistic. With a really tough, irritable Saturn Mars conjunction in Scorpio; and the unstable Uranus square Pluto tied into a T square by Mercury in Libra – so it would be overly intense, negative and quite controlling.

Their relationship chart does have a Water Grand Trine of composite Sun to Jupiter and Pluto – which might have suggested a private emotional relationship. But Jupiter Pluto can sometimes lead to power-struggles as to who has the upper hand. And it is formed into a Kite by Jupiter opposition Neptune – so high hopes but not grounded in reality.
