Capricorn Signature Star Child: Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt

Zahara, the first daughter of famous duo Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is our Capricorn Signature Star Child!

Zahara is a Capricorn Sun but she also has Capricorn's ruling planet, Saturn, in opposition from her Sun, giving her a double dose of this earthy energy. Although she has five planets in the lively and adventurous sign of Sagittarius, she has her serious side. Not only will she have the enthusiasm and optimism of Sagittarius, but she'll also have the hard-working, almost entrepreneurial motivation of Capricorn in her corner, so she'll be learning just what she's capable of when she sets her mind to something. She'll probably often want to try grown-up things and get ahead of herself quite often in her ambition and excitement. Her Capricorn Sun will help her organize her wealth of energy into a target she can aim at. 

With all that Sagittarius, she enjoys running free, but with Saturn in alignment with her Sun in the family sign of Cancer, she'll probably take her duties and responsibilities as the oldest daughter seriously, feeling the internal pressure to set a good example. She may have a hard time showing her soft or vulnerable side as she always wants to appear strong, capable, and cheerful. 

In a 2010 interview, mom Angelina said of Zahara: "[she's] got an extraordinary voice and is just so elegant and well spoken." With Mercury, the planet that governs our communication style, so close to Venus, the planet of creativity, beauty, and charm, it's no wonder! More from her Kiddiegram:

Mercury Conjunct Venus:
     Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt is persuasive in a charming and gracious way. She is a natural diplomat and peace-maker, and she likes to bring people together socially.

     She also uses words well and enjoys "painting pictures with words."  Literature and poetry are likely to be pronounced interests of hers.

When They Were Young: Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie has been in the news lately, yet again, due to the recent announcement that she and Brad Pitt are officially engaged. They have made it clear in past statements that they are content with their unmarried state, but that their six children would like it very much if they were to marry. They picked a great time for the commitment! Saturn, the planet of commitment, has approximately a 29 year cycle. Every 7 years or so, it asks us to commit, or renew our commitment, to something we've begun in our lives if we want to continue reaping its rewards. Angie and Brad have been together seven years. Looks like they're reinforcing their commitment! Saturn will be pleased.

With six kids of her own now, and about to become a bride, Mlle. Kiddie takes a look at what Angelina might have been like as a kid, according to her natal chart.

She was born with two planets and her south node in the sign of Gemini in the social 11th house, so she has probably always had a natural affinity for the spotlight, however bright it may have been at various times in her life. With social Venus so close to her ascendant, she probably knew how to get along with others and pick up on all the social cues and expectations of those around her. Yet, her Cancer ascendant indicates she is emotionally sensitive to the world around her and may have preferred not to reveal herself easily. Perhaps this is why she enjoyed acting from such a young age; many actors have mentioned the thrill of letting go of themselves and becoming someone else for a while.

She no doubt was very mischievous with all that Gemini energy (the trickster!) But much about her essence is very passionate and intense. Her Aries moon is joined with primal Mars, also in Aries. Managing her emotions may have been very challenging for her, as Aries is a very impulsive energy, rarely hesitating before it acts, and the Moon-Mars combo (emotions+action) suggests she would react quickly to any situation with an outburst of temper, or a quick, heated statement almost before she even knew she was doing it. She doesn't apologize for being herself and being forthright about what she wants and going after it. That would have been evident since birth!

Her edginess is apparent, in part, from the intensity of her Mars-Moon combo, and with Jupiter not far away, she certainly would have taken it to extremes in her youth, as Jupiter likes to exaggerate everything it touches. But her love of shocking others is reflected in the planet Uranus, which makes a very tight square to her ascendant. Any planet connected to the ascendant tends to make its characteristics very visible and since Uranus is the planet of the rebel, her persona was (and still is) laced with rebellion and Aries moon defiance.

Her teen years were probably quite the ride! She seems especially suited to be a mom of an eclectic bunch, being able to handle everything on the fly (Gemini sun has a great deal of flexibility) and still take charge (Aries moon). Shiloh, her first biological child, also has Uranus prominent in her chart, a strong Gemini influence, and an Aries north node. Mom will show her the way to let it all hang out!

Jolie-Pitt Kids: Astro Round-up

It's time for another Jolie-Pitt family round up! Mom Angelina Jolie is interviewed for the January issue of Marie Claire magazine, and offers tidbits about how her kids are growing:

On 3-year-old Knox: “Knox is very much a dude. Very physical, tough. He loves dinosaurs and swords."

On 3-year-old Vivienne: “She is so elegant and delicate. Vivi will pick flowers from the garden and put them in her hair. She likes to get her nails done and collects stuffed animals. It’s funny for me to have to buy all things pink and watch princess movies!”

Looks like the twins might be playing out the classic astrological theory about twins: owning and emphasizing different parts of their charts in order to establish individuality. Vivi, the sweetness of Venus in Cancer, and Knox, the exuberance of Sagittarius Rising. They share a Leo south node, which has been called a sign of royalty, so maybe it's as simple as the little prince and princess!

On 5-year-old Shiloh: “It’s very funny to watch Brad try to teach Shiloh [to ride quads] because she doesn’t want to listen. She doesn’t want Dad to sit on the back. She doesn’t want to learn about the brakes. She just wants to go!… it’s the combination of the two of us.”

Mlle. Kiddie wonders if Shiloh's reported time of birth isn't just slightly off. If she was born even one minute later, she'd have Aries Rising, attributing to the go-get-em, 'boyish' attitude and style she's known for. Aries Rising definitely wants to go go go! One doesn't have to look far, though, to see that her double Gemini (Sun and Moon) can have her fascinated, curious, and eager for new experiences, not wanting to put on the brakes.

On 6-year-old Zahara: “She has found her thing [horseback riding].”

Mlle. Kiddie loves the poetry of a girl with 5 planets in Sagittarius, the centaur (half human, half horse) would love horses! Of course, many girls have a strong love of horses, but with the Moon and Mars in this sign, it's more than love, it's the freedom to run that probably sets her on fire!

On 8-year-old Pax: “He is extremely wild, but he has a very, very good heart. You know, like those punk rockers – when you really get to know them and they are just pussycats. But at the same time, he is going to get in some kind of trouble.”

Pax's south node is in Scorpio, a sign known for its intensity and extremes. With his Mars in Pisces, he definitely has a soft spot for the underdog and a hint of Pisces poetry. Like his older brother Maddox, he has an Aquarius Moon, so he'll be learning appropriate detachment to ease some of the emotional turbulence through his adult years.

On 10-year-old Maddox: “I’ll be doing something and I’ll be frustrated, and he’ll hold my hand and say, ‘Are you feeling tired? Is that why you’re upset?’ Yeah, he really does take care of me.”

As the eldest child, and a Capricorn south node to boot, Maddox is definitely going to be the responsible type, taking on adult burdens and grown-up worries all too easily. That Leo sun will help him learn that it's important for him to express and receive for himself as well.

Angelina Jolie's Bilingual Babes

In the August issue of Vanity Fair, Angelina Jolie discusses life in Venice, acting, and all of it accompanied by her troop of six children. She discussed how important it is to her for her children to have a sense of the wide world around them, and likes to have them learn about the local culture wherever they are. Of their education in and out of Venice, Jolie says:

"We have two teachers who travel with us, and we found a wonderful local man who teaches them the history of Venice and some Italian. It's a nice mix--this is what we do. They go to school every day 10 to 4 at home. They're on the Lycée curriculum.

Angelina is a jet-setter herself and would be even without the necessity of acting on location for her profession, so it's no wonder she enjoys opening up the cultural world to her children, including learning multiple languages. So how will the children fair with this curriculum and learning lifestyle? That's a question with a multi-faceted answer, no doubt, but initially we look to the planet Mercury for questions about learning style and preferences.

Maddox has Mercury in Leo, in a tight conjunction with his Sun. Angelina mentions in the Vanity Fair

article what an intellectual he is, is great at school and could be a writer. It's no surprise to Mlle. Kiddie! The Sun is central to our personality, and with Mercury there, that means his mind and what he can do with it is just as central to his sense of self. He'll gain a great deal of confidence from using and developing his intelligence.

Both Pax and Zahara have Mercury in Sagittarius, so they will take their multi-cultural education in absolute stride as if it were tailored just for them. Sagittarius is the sign of the philosopher, who loves discovering the principles of meaning inherent in all different cultures, joined by humanity. Zahara in particular has her Mercury in a tight conjunction with her Venus, which lends a quality of grace, creativity, and beauty to her mind. Her mom said in the interview that Zahara has "an extraordinary voice and is just so elegant and well spoken." All qualities of Venus (beauty) when connected to Mercury (voice and mind).

Shiloh has Mercury in Gemini which will give her a quick mind and an ability to pick up a lot in short amounts of time, but it is in a square (tough) relationship with Uranus in dreamy Pisces and in a trine (easy) relationship with Neptune, both influences which will make her challenge that of concentrating. Keep her interested, and she'll gobble it up, but here's a girl who will be so overwhelmed by the desire for input that she can get carried away with the next new and fascinating thing. Angelina says Shiloh is just like she was as a child "goofy and verbal." Mercury in Gemini is a playful and mischievious kind of energy, and adding it to Uranus in Pisces and Neptune (which has a resonance with Pisces) and her imagination is boundless. She's certain to be a storyteller.

Vivienne and Knox have Mercury in Cancer, which is a water sign. Water signs learn best when there is an emotional, personal, or subjective component to them, something they can attach meaning and memory to (they typically have great memories). Mercury is also in a sextile (easy) relationship to Saturn and Mars in the sign of Virgo, so they'll no doubt be dutiful students, who learn with precision and dedication.

A jet-setter herself, Mademoiselle Kiddie approves of the program! Bravo!

Mother Moon: Spotlight on Celeb Moms and their Mothering Style

In every chart, each planet has its purpose, from Mercury's job to communicate to Venus' job to make friends. In astrology, it's the moon's job to nurture. In our own charts, our moon sign and house can tell us what we need to nurture and comfort ourselves, what makes us feel happy and safe. But it can also tell us how we instinctively take care of and protect the ones we love. Everyone has a moon, so everyone has that inner 'mother'. In celebration of Mother's Day, Mlle. Kiddie takes a look at a few celeb moms and their mothering style.

Sandra Bullock

Sandra has an Aquarius moon in the 9th house. The 9th house represents how we form our philosophies about life, the ideas that make up what we think life's purpose is. With an Aquarius moon, the philosophy of being true to yourself is going to be high on her list of important things to pass on to her new son, Louis. She will most try to comfort and nurture him by helping him see that who he is matters more than trying just to fit in with others. Aquarius can be a sign that tends to be a little more emotionally detached--not unfeeling or cold, but allowing the space for others to express themselves in whatever way feels appropriate. Sandra will want to give Louis the freedom to be himself, without grooming him too much to conform. With Venus and Mars in a trine to her moon, she will also want to impart to Louis how to defend his right to be himself (Mars) without being needlessly cruel or defiant--doing it with some finesse and charm (Venus).

Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes has a Leo Moon in the 12th house. She will want to teach Suri to enjoy life by allowing her to play and express herself any way she chooses--the more imaginative, the better. With a trine to gentle Neptune, Katie is more likely to lean on the side of permissiveness and indulgence; she wants to take life moment to moment instead of setting up a rigid structure of rules, simply wanting Suri to be happy. However, with her moon square Uranus and Venus in Scorpio, she will not let Suri walk all over her or abuse her. She is likely to encourage a spiritual connection between herself and Suri and her love for Suri will be a divine and transcendent love. (Photo: Vanity Fair)

Madonna

Madonna has her moon in the sign of Virgo, so she is going to instinctively nurture her kids by making sure they do the right things for their body and mind. She's likely to be quite the stickler for rules and routine since she will approach mothering from the practical perspective: teaching her kids how to grow up in control of themselves and with the right tools to take care of themselves as they grow into adulthood. She is a no-nonsense mom and will not permit any whining! She will need to take care to avoid coming across as too critical and encouraging her children to feel like they never measure up. (Photo: Shavawn Rissman/AP)

Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie has a Cancer moon, so she's likely to be quite a doting and nurturing mom. Cancer is a sign that is meant to mother, whether it's a plant, a garden, or another soul. It's easy to see what a dedicated and down-to-earth person Nicole developed into once she had another person who needed her beyond her own self. She will want to nurture and show her love for Harlow and Sparrow in a very hands-on, emotional way, and is likely to enjoy the homemaking aspect of motherhood. She will need to watch out for being overprotective. (Photo: GSI Media)

Angelina Jolie

Angie's moon is clustered together with Mars and Jupiter all in the sign of Aries. She's going to nurture her kids by doing what she can to encourage their own strength, courage, and confidence. She wants her kids to know that there is nothing that can hold them back if they'll only be brave and give it a try. She's not one to coddle or overprotect them and she will encourage them to try new things. She believes not in protecting them from the dangers of life, but encouraging them to experience life, to engage with it. She may tend to be quick-tempered or impatient with her children, especially if she feels they are whining or clingy, but these moods will quickly pass.
