Carla Bruni’s Pluto transit (still on until the end of this year) saw a pretty amazing transformation. Appropriate, for the planet of transformation smack bang on her Capricorn Sun at Zero degrees.

Now she’s got Uranus approaching her Midheaven (public image) opposing her natal Uranus and squaring her Mercury at 28 degrees Saggo. Pluto going over that a few years ago would have deepened her consciousness for sure and now Uranus comes along to edge her into being a positive iconoclast. So she’s already got Mercury in mouthy Sagg and Uranus squaring it + opposing it for the next 18 months should see more such episodes as her mouthing off at the Pope. It is especially resonant as she was (a) born & raised Catholic & (b) is a woman in such a powerful position or at least with massive media cut-through speaking  out.

Also, note that the Saturn-Uranus opposition – next hit in September – will be right across her IC-MC axis; Saturnine conservative force at home vs Uranian forces in her career/wanting to use visibility to effect societal change and they both square her Mercury. It’s called a T-square and they rarely pass un-noticed nor fail to create a fuss. Hard choices though.

“I find that the controversy coming from the Pope’s message – albeit distorted by the media – is very damaging…In Africa it’s often Church people who look after sick people. It’s astonishing to see the difference between the theory and the reality. I think the Church should evolve on this issue. It presents the condom as a contraceptive which, incidentally, it forbids, although it is the only existing protection,” she told Femme Actuelle, the women’s magazine.

The comments will cause Mr Sarkozy embarrassment in a country where, despite the separation of Church and State, a majority of the population was born Catholic André Roux, a constitutional historian said: “It’s unprecedented for a first lady to criticise the Pope….”

“…I have an austere temperament,” she says. “There are things that give me no pleasure: objects, clothes, jewelry. I’ve worn them all, but all that stuff interferes with my daily life.” She does her own hair. According to her friend Farida Khelfa, “Carla hates shopping and would wear the same pair of trousers every day if she could.” Makeup doesn’t interest her—”It takes forever and doesn’t make you look better after 30…”

Her chart is here & what do we see???

She has a poetic, musical & romantic Grand Water Trine with her Cancerian Ascendent trine Venus/Neptune in Scorpio and Chiron in Pisces. She has to have a creative outlet…Her Nodes are the reverse of Madonna’s so she comes comes from luxury but with the vision of learning to value more subtle manifestations of the light. Note – the literal meaning of luxury is ‘of the light’.

Saturn in Aries on the Midheaven – climbs, responsibility will become a leader as Uranus first squares her Sun at Zero degrees of Cap and then crosses the Saturn & midheaven from 2011 and beyond…Through annhilating (Uranus) some dominant paradigm?  Or a stupendous scandal? Moon-Pluto in Virgo…Austere temperament indeed. Would not pay to cross her…Maternal mortality as cause of her heart so fits the astro.

It just occurred to me that there seem to be two broad types of Capricorn….The austere ones & a slightly more earthy & robust variety a la Nigella Lawson – she of the cupcakes, goosefat and pragmatic sense of  humour.

It’s the same with Aquarians: You get the ravingly bats don’t-fence-me-in Uranian types & then a more Saturnine version (Saturn being the ancient ruler of Aquarius, before Uranus was discovered) with the clinical demeanour and dislike for anything not scientifically proven. Pisceans too are often either Jovial or Neptunian…As in Jupiter was their ruler before Neptune.  So you get these bon-vivant Pisceans prancing about who are more like Sagg & then these Neptunian entrancers gliding about, between worlds & official mystics.
