Astro-January Jones

January Jones Harpers Bazaar - June 2009 Uk (1)

Yes, Mad Men’s  January Jones was born in January, a triple Capricorn, in fact: Sun, Venus and Juno. Note cheekbones, glacial cool vibe et al. I’d think Aries Rising, from her brows alone. She’s named after January Wayne, a character in Jacqueline Susann’s Once Is Not Enough.  Had the parents read it (?!), one wanders.

Anyway, two things. I read in a magazine at a cafe that she has the word “bellatrix” (Latin for female warrior) white-inked onto her wrist. I love that. So annoying now that when i go to google bellatrix i get only the Harry Potter character and an infusion of Helena Bonham Carter.

Second thing; January Jones’ chart is an interesting illo of astrology; Triple Cap, as I said and with Uranus, Vesta, Pallas-Athene and Moon all in Scorpio – very good for playing a woman with a lot of burning interior material.  A big vengeful too. Note how she bided her time and then slagged her ex (Ashton Kutcher, Aqua man to the max) to the greatest effect and had his “lack of support” widely reported.

But her breakthrough role as Betty Draper and increasing prominence has coincided with two astrological transits:  Jupiter on her Part Of Fortune AND Pluto opposite her natal Jupiter.  Anything with Pluto and Jupiter involved has the potential to be what i call a ‘mogul transit’ – even if it is a so-called hard aspect.

And we were going on about the Part of Fortune & luck etc just the  other day!

    I totally love Mad Men. Apart from all its style and seething emotional undercurrents, for anyone who thinks feminism is redundant that show is a massive wake up call.

    January Jones does an amazing job as the fascinating and tragically unhappy Betty Draper. She’s beautiful, educated, wealthy, and frustrated in every imaginable way, married to a hunky, philandering and essentially miserable husband and living this boring, soul-less existence in a New York suburb.

    The astro chart is super interesting, esp seeing she is the current ‘It’ girl. (Check the Vanity Fair Spread- the Chanel jacket is to die for). But wow, 10th house Cap sun conjunct Venus was always going to get attention. And how about the Lilith Jupiter conjunction at the bottom of the chart? The inner ass kicking bitch is going to get her places? Go girl!

    Oh Crap! I just looked at that chart again and they used a noon birthtime as time is unknown. I wish they wouldn’t do that as the house systems and P of F are possibly all wrong.

    I love Mad Men too…poor Betty having to smoke a zillion cigarettes, home-stylin’ about in her synthetic flouncey nightie thing with hair in rollers, every gals’ nightmare blend of serenity & insanity.

    She’s extraordinary looking – really ethereal vibe. And I love Mad Men. How about Don Draper being voted the ‘perfect man’ – and he’s not even real, and so flawed. But how powerful is beauty when it is combined with depth and mystery?
