Synastry at its Best

I touched briefly on Nicole Kidman’s chart, yesterday. And I had anticipated writing about her marriage to Tom Cruise, but then thought better of it. This post will explore the relationship that she has with Keith Urban, instead.

But first, here’s Keith’s chart:

No one has an accurate birth time for Mr. Urban, so I decided to rectify his chart, anchoring his October 19, 2006 drug rehab at the Betty Ford Clinic at age 39, to the position of Neptune in Scorpio, on the cusp of his 8th House. (This event happened a few months after he married Nicole.) Immediately, the chart forms a Yod connecting Neptune and Pluto, and pointing directly at his Ascendant @ 23 Aries. This feels right.

Now, let’s compare their birth charts:

As Nicole’s Ascendant is @ 6 Scorpio, it is significant that it is conjunct Keith’s Sun @ 2 Scorpio. They ‘understand’ each other very well. And, as you ‘d expect from people born within months of each other, there will be a lot of connections:

Saturn in Aries, Uranus in Virgo, Neptune in Scorpio, and Pluto in Virgo (still conjunct with Uranus).

But it’s the subtle effects of the Part of Fortune in Nicole’s chart being conjunct with Keith’s Ascendant in Aries, and Keith’s PoF (in Capricorn) opposite Nicole’s Mercury in Cancer, which gives this chart combination a ‘fortunate’ feel.

And that Yod in Keith’s chart is echoed in the relationship chart, only this time Uranus and Neptune in Nicole’s chart are doing the pointing at Keith’s Ascendant. It was as if Keith needed to marry Nicole to sort himself out.

The final sequence in Pretty Woman seems to echo the effect:
