Sarah Paulson, playing in The Post as the Editor’s wife and much-awarded for American Horror Story, has been opening up about her relationship with 74 year old actress Holland Taylor, known for The Practice and Two and a Half Men. They got together in 2015 and she was warned it might not be career friendly, but it doesn’t seem to have stopped her getting juicy roles. Her next, Ocean’s 8, is due out in 2018.
Helps to get birth date right. Sarah Paulson was born 17 December 1974 11.05 pm Tampa, Florida and grew up with divorced parents. She has an enthusiastic and confident 7th house Jupiter in Pisces on her Descendant making her fun company. Her Sagittarius Sun sits in her 4th house which makes her private and family-oriented, along with Mars Neptune in Sagittarius straddling her IC, so she’ll want a glamourous dream home but will be a fairly restless bird in the nest with dynamic Mars there. Her Aquarius Sun is trine Pluto making her fairly possessive and also edgy about being controlled.
Holland Taylor, 14 January 1943 in Philadelphia, is an expansive and earthy Sun Capricorn opposition Jupiter in Cancer with a Taurus Moon. They are very different types with Sarah being Fire Air, so constantly rattling along on ideas and enthusiasm. Where Holland is an Earth Earth type, more grounded, more physical, which may not suit Sarah’s Aquarius Moon over time.
There are plus points with Holland’s Sun falling in Sarah’s entertaining/romantic 5th house, so they’ll play well together. Their Jupiters chime in two Water signs; and Sarah has an Aquarius Moon and Venus in Capricorn to match Holland’s Venus Aquarius and Capricorn Sun. But that apart it isn’t easy. Holland’s Saturn Uranus in Gemini opposes Sarah’s Mars Neptune which is gritty and confusing. Holland’s Mars is conjunct Sarah’s Sun which can spark up passion initially but usually turns argumentative and competitive.
Their relationship chart has a highly positive Earth Grand Trine of Sun to Jupiter and Pluto, so it will be mutually supportive, and quite the power couple. But the Mars aspects aren’t great, bringing underlying aggravations or perhaps fears.
Sarah said in an interview: “There’s a poignancy to being with someone older. I think there’s a greater appreciation of time and what you have together and what’s important, and it can make the little things seem very small.”
