Penelope and Javier - heaven with a few rough edges

Penelope Cruz appears to have married fellow Spaniard Javier Bardem. Both are hugely successful, award winner actors. She was born on 28 April 1974 and is a Taurus Sun in a lucky, confident sextile to Jupiter in Pisces with Venus also in sensitive Pisces and probably a home loving Cancer Moon. She does have an emotionally anguished Mars conjunct Saturn in Cancer square Pluto so her emotional life will not be without its problems and she’ll at times be impatient and feel trapped. Her Jupiter is in a head-in-the-clouds square to Neptune will help mellow down the gritty effects of that Mars Saturn Pluto somewhat. Javier Bardem, born 1 March 1969, is a Sun Pisces with a slightly disconnected chart unless his Moon and the angles tie it together which we don’t know without a birth time. He has a showbizzy Neptune Mars conjunction, an emotionally cool, self reliant Saturn Venus conjunction in Aries and a lucky, adventurous Uranus Jupiter conjunction. His Mars Neptune are sextile Uranus Jupiter and perhaps trine a Leo Moon. His Leo Moon may also be tied into a Fire Grand Trine of the North Node in Aries trine Mars. That would make more sense of a flamboyant, self confident personality. Penelope’s Jupiter is exactly conjunct his Sun so she’ll boost his morale and her Venus is also in Pisces so there’s a real emotional resonance. But her Mars Saturn squares his Uranus Jupiter so there will be rough edges – and perhaps some oneupmanship struggle at times as her Pluto is also conjunct his Jupiter Uranus. Their relationship chart has a romantic, affectionate, friendly Sun Venus conjunction though both Sun and Venus are opposition Uranus so it’s a relationship that needs a good deal of space and where compromise won’t be easy since both are strong individuals. There’s also a curious composite Mercury opposition Mars Pluto square Jupiter. Again the Jupiter will help to keep it enthusiastic and optimistic but there will undoubtedly be some arguments along the way. The strain on these high profile film marriages with two exceptionally busy types often separated for longish periods is enormous. Their composite Venus Sun are at 7/9 degrees Aries so the next three years won’t be that easy as transitting Saturn, tr Pluto, tr Uranus all hard aspect the composite Sun Venus. But the relationship chart also has a Saturn trine Pluto so it does have a hang-on-in-there streak about it. Both of them have their ups and downs in the next few months as he has the bleak tr Saturn square tr Pluto hitting his Jupiter Uranus conjunction which will stifle his enthusiasm somewhat; and she has tr Saturn square tr Pluto picking up her Pluto square Mars Saturn – and indeed tr Pluto continues to oppose her Mars and square her Pluto till late 2011 – so a good many rather stressful adjustments will be needed on her side. But she looks set for a highly positive, successful 2013/14 as tr Pluto is sextile her Jupiter and even before then tr Pluto is trine her Taurus Sun in 11/12 which will help her get her act together.
