Gwyneth Paltrow’s birth chart shows how she built her empire
Gwyneth Paltrow was born on September 27, 1972. This makes her a sweet Libra Sun with a fun-loving Gemini Moon. Her birth time is listed online so we can see that she has a mystical Pisces Ascendant. When looking at her elemental energy, we see that she is heavily based in Air and Fire energy. This means that she has a very intellectual edge to her with phenomenal creativity and an ability to communicate her passions to the world. She also has most of her planets clustered in Libra—which shows that this energy permeates her significantly. She thrives in partnerships and is built with charm, charisma and a touch of Venus, the planet of art and beauty, within everything that she does. This is also quite telling because Venus is the planet of the divine feminine and is immensely focused on aesthetics, fashion, cooking and intimacy. Oh, and Venus naturally attracts profit, so this was all meant to come hand-in-hand. To speak of her exact Venus placement is also important: hers is in expressive Leo, the zodiac sign of luxury. She lives and loves boldly.
There are also so many other factors that reveal why she’s so successful, too. Jupiter, the planet that reveals how and where she attracts her luck, is in earthy Capricorn—the businesshead of the zodiac. It also resides in her Midheaven—which is her height of career and public recognition. Her North Node, which shows her destiny in this lifetime, stands in her sector of communities, fans and aspirations, too—and this means that she was always meant to chase these dreams and then make them happen. As for astrological aspects, we see that her Sun, ruling her life force, links perfectly with Neptune, the planet of imagination. This gifts her tremendous levels of creativity and success within the arts—but also speaks to the fact that she is ultimately a visionary. Her Neptune then dances with Pluto, bringing her the desire to be of service to the world, as if bringing the spiritual and mystical to the people.
Yet, the thing that brings her even more power is the fact that her Sun is also very closely united with her Pluto and Mars, too. This means that her drive for achievement and recognition have always been there, and she has the unending inner resources to make it happen. She craves self-transformation and exploration and cannot—nor will she—be contained by others. Her confidence is sexy, spicy and magnetic. With her Mars also dancing with Jupiter, her strength and energy are magnified a thousand times. I’ve never seen a natal chart quite like this. The best part about this is that Paltrow had lucky stars infused within her—but she chose to capitalize on them and create her world. She truly is royalty in so many ways.
Is Gwyneth Paltrow astrologically compatible with Chris Martin and Brad Falchuk?
Next up: let’s take a quick dive into her relationships. First off, Paltrow has dated some of the most desired men in Hollywood, including Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck. She has also married two of the most brilliantly creative men in Hollywood, her ex-husband Chris Martin from Coldplay and her present partner, Brad Falchuk.
Chris Martin was born on March 2, 1977. This makes him a Pisces Sun with a Leo Moon. Brad Falchuk was born on March 1, 1971. This makes him a Pisces Sun with a Taurus Moon. First off, let me point out that both of her significant partners have birthdays within one day of each other. This is not a coincidence. Throughout my work as an astrologer, I find that dates repeat in people’s lives because of a strong alignment in their charts. Both of her partners have Suns that are in Paltrow’s Ascendant, meaning there is a strong affinity for them to identify with her and how she presents herself. Paltrow’s Moon is directly linked to this days, bringing a powerful sense of connection to both of them—creating camaraderie, warmth and opportunities for growth on both ends. Both of them also have their Suns in a rapport with her Midheaven—or point of fame and success, too. Technically speaking, I can see why Paltrow and Martin came together—there’s so much affinity between them and a solid base of communication and attraction, especially on building a family. I give them a compatibility rating of 7 out of 10. However, with Paltrow and Falchuk, there’s actually more fiery sparks and attraction, instead. There isn’t quite as much support in other areas, though, which is why I’m also giving a compatibility rating for them of 7 out of 10, too. Ultimately, the relationships are taking place at different times, as she’s evolving, which is why they’re serving their purpose exactly when—and how—they’re meant to.
