The couple of the week must surely be Madonna and Guy Ritchie. She’s a Leo, and he’s a Virgo, and apparently their marriage is moving to endgame.
On the face of it, Leo and Virgo isn’t a great combination. Typical Leos are into big gestures, and they often have a high opinion of themselves, while typical Virgos are more focused on the details – it’s the nuts and bolts that matter, not only the grand picture.
However star sign astrology can be too generalised, and one has to look at the broader horoscope. Madonna has the Moon and Mercury, as well as Pluto, in Virgo, while Guy Ritchie has Mars in Leo. So the Leo and Virgo energies are strongly entwined, and this surely helped the relationship to flourish.
Still, the star sign is important, and I want to focus on Madonna’s Sun in Leo. The Sun is a male energy, and in a female horoscope it often represents the ideal man. So a Leo woman will usually want a powerful partner, who has a strong sense of who they are and where they are going.
Madonna’s first husband, Sean Penn, was a Leo. He had his Sun at 25 degrees of Leo, which compares with Madonna’s Sun, at 24 degrees of Leo. Guy Ritchie, of course, doesn’t have a Leo Sun, but his Mars is at 23 degrees of Leo. And Mars, like the Sun, is a male planet.
So I would guess, at least from Madonna’s perspective, that Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie had things in common with each other, that can be symbolised by the sign Leo.
By the way, the wedding between Madonna and Guy Ritchie took place in Scotland, on December 22 2000. The horoscope for this wedding is less than perfect, with the Moon being void of course in Scorpio, moving away from a stressful aspect to Saturn. It’s maybe surprising, purely from an astrological point of view, that the marriage has lasted so long.
As far as timing is concerned, 2008 was always going to be tricky. Guy Ritchie has his Sun at around 18 degrees of Virgo, while Madonna has her Moon at 19 degrees of this sign. Since the beginning of the year Uranus has been making an opposition aspect to these points, and it could have been a potentially explosive influence, perhaps with the issue of freedom coming to the surface.
And now, as the autumn unfolds, the planet Saturn is moving towards 18 and 19 degrees of Virgo. In fact, on November 4 – the same day as the US elections – Saturn and Uranus will form an exact aspect, which is very, very close to Madonna’s Virgo Moon. So I would advice Madonna, in early November, to make a special effort to relax, and I think she should avoid anything that’s remotely stressful.
