Standouts in the horoscope of Catherine Zeta-Jones

As usual we will look at the standouts in her natal chart.

After all, that's what will bring us to the essence and disposition of the person.

Not to overwhelm you with information, we will assess the horoscope of Catherine Zeta-Jones by looking at the factors that only have some meaning for her love life.

In her horoscope we can find the following standouts:

• There is a Libra stellium (more than 3 planets in that zodiac sign)
• In the 30° dial, the Sun, Venus and Mars are all at the same numerical degree in a sign (2°)
• The most exact midpoints in the 45° dial/list are: AS = ME/VE SA/Vesta; MC = AS/VE = MO/NE = VE/KN; SO = AS/JU = ME/PL = SA/NE; MO = SO/PL; VE = MO/SA; MA = AS/JU = ME/PL = JU/KN = SA/NE; SA = VE/JU = PL/KN; UR = MO/ME = VE/Vesta = ME/Pallas = JU/PL; NE = ME/JU = PL/Ceres; PL = AS/MO = AS/Pallas     
  
• There are the following predominant connections in her natal chart: Venus/Saturn, Mercury/Jupiter and Venus/Jupiter
• There are no planets in fire signs
• Capricorn and Cancer are intercepted in the 1st-7th house axis of relationships
• the Moon at 28° Pisces is void of course

The Libra stellium is indicative of, among others: tact and aesthetical taste.

The archetype of Libra always needs harmony and tends to balance external energies out: softer energies are transmuted into assertive ones and assertive or even aggressive ones are balanced out by becoming gentler.

Libra stelliums are similar to the so-called "double signs" in some way but unlike the real double signs of the zodiac (Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces), showing split characteristics, the scales tip from one extreme to the other, so to balance everything out.

Hence, Libra stelliums, like the real double zodiac signs, are predisposed to have some bipolar (opposite) traits.

This should not be a problem as such as the whole Universe at large, is based upon polarities (day-night, warm-cold, wet-dry, yes-no, left-right, north pole-south pole, negative polarity vs. positive polarity etc.).

However, Libra stelliums can give an unstable impression because the urge to balance everything out is so very well-developed, resulting in continuously tipping points of view, for example (depending on the current or actual situation).

They also tend to give in under pressure.

This way, they hardly can reach balance themselves -- unless lots of efforts and (higher or spiritual) insight.

People with a higher consciousness who have such a stellium can cope with it better than those who live by impulses and primal urges who tend to tip very often, resulting in unstable and unreliable behavior.

The Sun, Venus and Mars at the same numerical degree in a sign indicate a very sensual and passionate nature.

The most exact midpoints in the 45° dial/list denote the following:

• AS = ME/VE = SA/Vesta: to be tactful, the need for a beautiful or harmonious environment, to be well-mannered, to be appreciated by others or the environment, to be disciplined
• MC = AS/VE = MO/NE = VE/KN: the affectionate bond, to love beauty, the artistic urges, the artistic inspiration, the love bond
• SO = AS/JU = ME/PL = SA/NE: the beautiful environment, to be renown, to draw attention, the persuasive talker, the health issues of the partner, the sorrow affecting the physical body
• MO = SO/PL: to suppress feelings or emotions
• VE = MO/SA: the widowhood, to be lonely
• MA = AS/JU = ME/PL = JU/KN = SA/NE: the great and successful teamwork, the successful partnerships or relationships, the tireless worker, the successful teamwork or working together, the happy marriage, the dissatisfaction, the financial issues, the egotism  
• SA = VE/JU = PL/KN: the disappointment, the lucky separation in love, not being able to adapt easily, to not feel well in a bond, to resist fate, the potential loss, the difficulty accepting a loss 
• UR = MO/ME = VE/Vesta = ME/Pallas = JU/PL: the sudden decision, the independent thinking, the nervousness, the impulsive decision, pleasure versus duty, the denial of affections, the sense of rhythm, the fortunate developments  
• NE = ME/JU = PL/Ceres: to care for the elderly or infirm, to act or play, the diplomate, the big imagination, to speak unstructured
• PL = AS/MO = AS/Pallas: the renown, to be applauded, the disputes or power conflicts with women or a woman

In her natal chart, we find the following powerful and predominant connections:

1. Mercury/Jupiter because Mercury is conjunct Jupiter, Mercury is in the 9th house (mundane ruled by Jupiter) and the ruler of the 6th house (mundane ruled by Mercury) is in the 9th house (mundane ruled by Jupiter).
   
   This connection points to conceptual thinking without going into details.
   
   Also, People with this connection tend to say a lot without saying anything, actually.
   
   They can be talkative in that way, but without being concrete or to-the-point. 

1. Venus/Saturn because Saturn is in Taurus (ruled by Venus), Venus is parallel and trine Saturn.
   
   This analogy suggests feeling lonely, or at least not belonging to some specific group.
   
   She might feel separated from a peer group or herd, not feel like she belongs to some particular group.
   
   Venus-Saturn connections often reflect people who do not "fit in", who feel separated and do not connect easily.
   
   And when they connect, they feel it's at the wrong time or place so that the connection does not materialize.
   
   In a female chart, this connection might also indicate an age difference with the partner.
   
   Also, almost always, love and duty go together.
   
   
2. Venus/Jupiter because Jupiter is in Libra (ruled by Venus), Venus is semi-square Jupiter, the ruler of the 2nd house and of the 7th house (both mundane ruled by Venus) are in the 9th house (mundane ruled by Jupiter).
   
   She might adore the partner, put him on a pedestal.
   
   Often, this connection indicates triangular relationships but also expecting too much from love (i.e. from the partner).
   
   One of the lessons to learn is trying to take responsibility for oneself instead of the partner.

There are no planets in fire signs, suggesting she's lacking some self-confidence and the zest of living might diminish over time because she carries too much on her shoulders.

In other words, memories from the past may in the long run interfere with hope for the future.

The predominant air element in her natal horoscope shows the ability to detach herself and look at things from a distance.

Capricorn and Cancer are intercepted in the 1st-7th house axis of relationships which indicates mood swings.

Family life and the career might inhibit free expression of the own feelings which may result in melancholy and some feeling down.

Additionally, the ruler of her rising sign (her rising sign is Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter) is inconjunct the ruler of her intercepted sign Capricorn, which suggests that her outer appearance (represented by the rising sign Sagittarius) does NOT match her inner core or feelings (represented by the ruler of the intercepted sign Capricorn).

Hence, "what's on the outside is NOT what's on the inside."

There are two personalities here, suggesting bipolar traits or a split personality (which is, again, not bad, as long as it's managed).

Take not also that her Moon is in the double sign Pisces and that she's burn under a Full Moon.

A void of course Moon is nothing unusual as lots of people are born with such a Moon in the natal horoscope.

A void of course Moon tends to represent suffering from emotional turmoil.

Numerous people learn to hide their emotions from an early age and the void of course Moon suggest they do not feel they easily fit into family life.

They often feel misunderstood (reinforced by the Venus/Saturn connection and the intercepted signs in the 1st-7th house axis) and thus put on a brave face.

Chances are she may feel extremely lonely or empty at times.

Because the Moon also opposes intense Pluto, she needs lots of privacy to regenerate and overcome crisis situations.

The love life of Catherine Zeta-Jones

Catherine Zeta-Jones reportedly dated TV host John Leslie who she met at a Chesney Hawkes concert in 1991, but just 18 months later, the couple split, reportedly because she wanted to start a family and he didn't.

After that relationship, she was "caught" kissing actor Paul McGann and after that date she started a romance with Angus Macfadyen, who was six years older than her, at the time, and they got engaged as well.

He called off their engagement in 1996 after 15 months though.

She then gave her heart to famous Hollywood producer Jon Peters but, reportedly, she turned his proposal down.

She then dated Mick Hucknall, the Simply Red frontman, in 1998 but dumped him four months later.

After nearly 13 years of marriage, the couple announced their separation in August 2013.
