Kate Moss.

Love her or loathe her, the one thing you can't do with this lady is ignore her as the ever hungry and increasingly sensational media continually try to find something to say about her, preferably something controversial. Doesn't sound like a normally reserved and cautious Capricorn, does it? Okay, so let's put the Sun Sign interpretations where they belong - in the bin - and get down to understanding the real Kate Moss. 

Unfortunately her time of birth is unknown so I have used the normal approach of using midday until such information is available. This means that her Ascendant and the true position of the Moon is unknown, which does limit the accuracy of the this brief report and also limits the amount of information I can extract from the chart. 

Notice how the majority of planets are pushed over to the Eastern side of the chart and are mainly opposed by the lone planets Mars and Saturn. This shows a person who is self-seeking and something of a personal go-getter, yet the opposing planets are likely to cause problems and prove to be a source of distraction needing constant attention. Mars suggests a stormy social and romantic life while Saturn acts like a brake, slowing things down and perhaps bringing in feelings of being over burdened or a reluctance to fully engage with co-workers. The upshot is one of constantly having to deal with two opposing forces, which must be very stressful and destabilising at times. 

Kate's Sun is in Capricorn, a Sign noted for being ambitious and worldly. Her Sun is conjunct Mercury giving her the ability to focus all her mind on the task in hand but also produces a narrowing of perspective and the possibility of 'putting all her eggs in one basket'. Good for career, not so good for other matters. Notice also that here we have a contradiction; one the one hand highly focused, on the other torn between extremes. In examining birth charts one often finds this kind of anomaly and the outcome is one of alternating moods, thoughts, and actions which can make a person appear unpredictable at times. 

Her Sun is in square aspect to Uranus, and this is one of the main keys to her strange behavior in public. Her primary need is for personal freedom - nothing wrong with that - but it is how she achieves it that is the problem, at least as far as the media is concerned. She can be very stubborn and resistant to being told what to do, in fact the more she feels she is being forced to do something, the more she will dig in and refuse to comply or even listen. Quite often she will find herself doing something that she knows is wrong but somehow is impelled to continue, sometimes with bad results. She suffers from great nervous tension which is not easy to live with and will cause her to behave unpredictably or be a source of exasperation to others. Her obvious success has, if anything, made the problem even more severe.

Her ruling planet - Saturn - gives mixed messages. Uranus aspecting Saturn gives her dogged persistence and the ability not to allow people or situations to sidetrack her. She has good managerial skills, knows what she wants and goes all out to get it. Endless patience combined with an excellent sense of timing means that she is prepared to wait for just the right moment to act, and then does so decisively. In contrast, Pluto suggests that it is not easy to handle or even understand her emotions. Emotional difficulties, deep-rooted fears, and an general uncertainty about life will be in evidence. She may also find it hard to trust people and yet can, on occasions, give way too easily leaving a lasting impression and possibly some resentment. 

Saturn lies in her Solar 6th House, suggesting that work is a dominant factor in her life and a nice aspect from Uranus suggests that her individual approach will be highly successful. She has the knack of doing the right thing at the right time. In contrast, that awkward square from Pluto is likely to cause major problems and enforced changes, as indeed has been the case recently when after the media frenzy her work scenario suffered setbacks as contracts were canceled. Uranus came to the rescue and saw her bouncing back as if nothing had happened. The danger of being used by unscrupulous people is very real and I suspect that this has already happened in the past. 

Kate's relationship issues have been media fodder for some time. The Sign of Cancer and the Moon rule close relationships and her Moon is in the deeply emotional and secretive Sign of Scorpio. The full story will probably never be known as she is not one to let the media intrude into her private life. I can't add much more as the aspects to her Moon are as yet unknown. I can say that with a highly afflicted Mars in her Solar 5th House, her social and romantic life is something of a battleground, and the aspects from Pluto and Neptune suggest that she can be used by people with a hidden agenda, or lead astray. It can't be easy to cope with the stress and uncertainty either. Venus offers more hope even if it does add to the complexity. Two wonderful aspects from Neptune and Pluto mean that at least part of her relationship needs are likely to be fulfilled and that the deep love she so desperately needs will come along and that there will be some associations that are truly life-changing. 

I think by now you can see that the 'typical' Sun Sign interpretations are far removed from reality of her life because, apart from the aspects to the Sun, one has to take the whole chart into consideration. Sun Sign Astrology doesn't do this, which is why it is way off the mark, even if it does have an appeal through its simplicity. 

Future trends for the next 12 months.

Her ruling planet - Saturn - lies in the 8th House in her Solar Return chart with mixed aspects. The 8th House is very secretive and if we add in the fact that there are also 4 planets in the 12th - another secretive House - then it is fair to say that something is happening in Kate's life that we are not likely to see until she is ready to reveal it - providing that the ever-eager media don't get a whiff of it and turn it into a circus as they normally do. Part of the process shows that she is undergoing a deep change both in herself and in her general direction in life and there is every chance of success. My one concern is that the opposition from Neptune could mean that she is not seeing things clearly and the possibility exists that part of the plan has serious flaws, especially from a financial point of view. There is also the risk of being used or being deceived. 

That wonderful Venus-Neptune aspect comes together as a conjunction and may well give her the emotional satisfaction that often eludes her. It may also mark the beginning of a new phase in relationships and there could also be financial benefits as well.
