Shirley MacLaine (April 24, 1934)

Shirley MacLaine has been on Ellie’s mind for a little while. So, she decided to do a Tarot reading about her. The full reading video follows:

As a lifelong follower of Ms. MacLaine, I can confirm that some of those ‘concerning’ cards are probably true, especially if she’s anxious to move forward into her next stage of life. So, I’m finally looking at her birth chart today.

This birth time is considered ‘excellent’. That means we can rely upon the double Yod pointing at her Virgo Ascendant. There is also an inconjunct linking Venus and Jupiter. (Four inconjuncts in total.)

Venus Inconjunct Jupiter

This can be a positive aspect if you learn to control some of its negative possibilities. You are likely to lack energy and to be rather passive. You may wait for opportunities to come to you, rather than go after them. You may not have enough energy to pursue your ambitions, or you may not have much ambition. Or you may love your comfort so much that you are unwilling to make any effort or put up with any pain that could help you grow and develop. However, if there are any indications of energy in your chart [there are], they should overcome the passivity.

Mars Inconjunct Ascendant

In close relationships you have to learn to compromise. Initially you may come on very strong and act very aggressively toward someone you are interested in. But that approach only provokes conflict because the other person feels threatened. If you learn to take a softer approach, you will be able to get what you want, within reason, without having to fight for it.

Saturn Inconjunct Ascendant

On occasion this aspect indicates frail physical health, which can be corrected only by paying a great deal of attention to hygiene, personal health habits and proper diet. However, this aspect may also signify that you worry too much about your health. Try not to be so concerned about it unless a physician has diagnosed a definite problem.

Uranus Inconjunct Ascendant

Your need for freedom may interfere with your close relationships. When you are with others, even those you like, you feel very nervous but you can’t get up and leave because you want to be with them. This is typical of the ambiguity that comes with this transit. Certainly, the more others try to restrict your freedom of movement, the more you try to get away.

(To me, these aspects confirm what Ellie got in her Tarot card reading.)

Amen.
