Teri Hatcher's Best Coach: Her Daughter, Emerson!

Teri Hatcher recently completed her first triathlon and compared the experience to motherhood on Good Morning America:

"The drive of it, I’m not going to stop, I’m just going to get up and keep going is the same as a mom. I’m tired this morning, but I still got to drive to school and I still got to make the lunches. It’s that same things that moms have and I really noticed that mental comparison and I think that’s what got me across the finish line."

Teri has a grouping of planets in her chart that reveal what a powerhouse she can be. Uranus, Mars and Pluto are all crammed in together in the sign of Virgo, in her 2nd house, revealing that she has an incredible hunger to best herself on a constant basis, not out of competitiveness, but out of a desire to prove to herself that she's got what it takes. These three planets are also in a trine to her Jupiter in Taurus in her 10th house, so not only does she know that she's got to push herself to get better in anything she does, but she has probably learned over time that her tenacity (Taurus) can help her reach her potential (Jupiter), if she's willing to continually inest in herself (2nd house).

Teri also said that it was her daughter, Emerson, who told her she should shoot for winning! That's not surprising, since Emerson's Jupiter lands in the same place as Teri's Moon. When two people connect, their charts connect as well. Since Emerson's Jupiter, the planet of enthusiasm and encouragement, lands on Teri's Moon, the planet that represents the heart, she can be a real boost in the arm for Teri any time she's feeling down or like she's not doing a good enough job, just like a good coach can encourage a team to greatness. Likewise, Teri's Uranus, Mars, and Pluto land right on Emerson's north node, so Teri's drive toward self-improvement is a great example for Emerson to see first hand what it really takes to reach your goals.

Sounds like they were made for each other!

Lady Luck Sarah Brightman (August 14, 1960)

JUPITER in the birthchart reveals the child's future aspirations, and how she seeks to grow and improve herself. It also indicates areas of natural confidence, success, or "luck."

Sarah Brightman began singing almost at birth.
Her duet with Liu Han (singing the Olympics Theme "You and Me") at the opening of the Olympics reveals a chart graced by Jupiter. Her Jupiter is in the sign of Sagittarius associated with travel and luck.

Jupiter in Sagittarius
Faraway goals and distant horizons call to Sarah and she isn't timid about aspiring to greatness. One of her gifts is that she instinctively sees the big picture, and can envision a positive future even if the present is overwhelmingly gloomy. Optimism, faith in life itself, and a philosophical attitude are assets she possesses naturally.
She is apt to query you incessantly about God, religion, and the nature of the Universe until she gets some answers. However, very simplistic or narrow answers won't satisfy her. She seeks to grow and improve herself through broadening her understanding. Travel and exotic cultures fascinate her.

Her Kiddiegram reveals two major Jupiter aspects, Sun Trine Jupiter and Jupiter Trine Uranus. On top of this her Jupiter is in the "lucky" sign of Sagittarius.
Even without an exact time of birth, her Kiddiegram reveals this about her.

Sun trine Jupiter
It may seem that life is always on Sarah's side, and that Fortune smiles on her more than on most people. Mostly that stems from the fact the she does not worry a lot and she seems always to expect everything to turn out well for her. She is generous and large-spirited, and the world responds to her in kind. The only drawback is that she may not be inclined to push herself, to work hard, or to be very motivated to develop the gifts and opportunities she has.

Jupiter trine Uranus
Sarah is apt to be very "lucky" especially when she trusts her instincts and intuition. She has an excellent sense of timing and an uncanny knack of showing up at the right place and the right time. Because she is enthusiastic and open-minded, she attracts opportunities to go places (both literally and figuratively) that more conservative family members will never see. Dancing, music, and other exuberant, joyful activities will be important to her for all of her life.

Mastering some words of Mandarin seemed to pose no problem for this talented Leo born with her North Node in Virgo. Mlle Kiddie says about this placement

The qualities Sarah needs in order to succeed in this endeavor are diligence, careful and loving attention to details, and learning to do a good job for its own sake.
