What does their combined astrological chart (synastry chart) show regarding why they divorced? I will utilize the possible effects of the potent Eclipses of 2015/16/17 and transiting outer planets

When looking at the chart 1 keep in mind that the outside ring is Brad Pitt’s chart positions and the inside ring, Angelina Jolie’s.

Let’s delve into this! My comments below are on how I read the transiting planets in the universe as applied to both Brad and Angelina’s chart. With Jupiter in Libra let’s hope this general influence aids all legal activities between the two. Both of them deserve to be happy.

Uranus (in the Universe), unexpected events and shakeups has/is been going over Angie’s Natal Moon in Aries since May 2014. This is unexpected emotional outbursts essentially, Uranus is in Brads 4th house of the home. I expect things have been heated for a few years in this household.

One of the big indicators of something important happening between the two of them were the series of eclipses. I think the real initial ‘step’ was taken by Angelina at the Full Moon Total Eclipse in Aries (4Aries40) on 28 September 2015,  although it did not conjunct her Moon in Aries exactly (13Aries05) I’m going to say the ‘effect’ of a Total Eclipse near her moon (10 degree orb) on 28 September 2015 was when the ball started rolling! Full Moons bring things to a head and a Total Eclipse would add some heat to that, to say the least. Perhaps, it is when Angie said, “Enough, is enough!”.

Angie also had Saturn, in the Universe conjunct her North Nodes of the Moon (destiny). She would have felt compelled to do something for her own sake. By early August 2016 Saturn conjuncted this point of destiny. Giving her the determination to take action into her own hands. On top of that Mars conjuncted this point 7th March 2016 adding lots of pressure to get things moving; it then retrograded and then went direct over this point of destiny again 22nd May 2016 and a third time beginning of August 2016. I expect some real effort, maybe even outside experts like therapists/psychologists, was put in to somehow resolve the issue(s) instead of divorcing. Mars retrograded back in to Scorpio during a lot of the summer so, she(he) would have been delving into some murky waters.

The next big event, was the New Moon Total Eclipse in Pisces (18Pisces56) on 9th March 2016 which fell in Angie’s 8th house of secrets and deep feelings and joint possessions with an orb of 10 degrees it conjuncted her Black Moon Lilith, which could elicit outright rage. In Brad’s chart this conjuncted his Chiron (10Pisces). in his third house, uncovering ways to heal his wounds. This Eclipse would have illuminated any new ways to heal old wounds. Then on the 23 March 2016 a Full Moon Eclipse… in Libra (3Libra17) conjuncted Angie’s Pluto (8Libra31) prompting her to decide to contact a person in power (may I suggest, a lawyer) in her 3rd house of communication.

The New Moon Eclipse at 9Virgo21 on 1 September 2016 conjuncted Brad’s Uranus (10Virgo04) and Pluto (14Virgo14), an unexpected power move on him that would have shaken him up. Our most recent Eclipse on 16th September 2016 was a Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces (24Pisces20). This occurs in Brads 3rd house of communications. A final communication. Three days later, Monday 19th September Angie officially files for divorce this Eclipse was in her 8th House again highlighting intense feelings especially around joint possessions.

For 2017 there is an New Moon Eclipse in Leo (22Leo28) on 11th February 2017 in Brad’s 8th House of secrets, deep feelings, joint possessions. Could he seek out legal advice/help to deal with joint possessions? With Leo in the mix we can only hope this is done creatively. The final New Moon Pisces Eclipse is on 26th February 2017 (8Pisces12). This is in Angie’s 8th house and Brad’s 3rd house; perhaps there will be discussion over their joint possessions (will children be part of this discussion, I expect so). Venus will be hovering close by Angie’s natal Moon in Aries suggesting good feelings and not far from her natal Jupiter. Generous payout to her? What is interesting is they were both born with Jupiter in Aries and close by…there should be joint benefits resulting from this New Moon Eclipse. This is in Brad’s 4th house of real estate.

Saturn is still sitting in Brad’s 1st House brining responsibilities his way especially as it conjuncts his Sun, his inner essence; this will act like a damper. Interestingly, Uranus will form a favorable trine to his Sun at the end of April through June 2017 then go retrograde back to that point in October 2017. Negotiations on new responsibilities will be finalized at that time. The effect of Uranus on his Sun could be very positive; setting him free.

Pluto in his 2nd House of values and money will conjunct his Mercury then Moon, then Venus in a span from September 2016 through to December 2020. Pluto is all about transformation to get you on your right path. The Moon is his emotions (and Mother), Venus, money and love.

Pluto in her 6th House of day to day work and health will bring new opportunities to do meaningful work and better health habits. She does have a few Squares happening to her Jupiter (the natural law) and Midheaven (how the world views you) January through December 2017, this could present some challenges regarding travel and restrictions on expansion of new ideas…both of these points conjunct each other. She might get some bad press is my guess and change residence. She does need to heed overdoing it though; compromise is the operative word…hopefully, she does, if not, legal problems could ensue.

Other planets affecting both of their charts that may contribute to the outcome are Neptune (in Pisces) Jupiter (newly in Libra) and Saturn (in Sagittarius). Saturn is sitting on (conjuncts) Brad’s Ascendent in Sagittarius and will be there through the first week of October 2016 casting a depressing pall over him. Saturn enforces rules and sets up boundaries and walls. Saturn in Angie’s chart sits on (conjuncts) her Neptune in Sagittarius at the same time. This is an awkward placement as Neptune has no boundaries or walls like Saturn. She may seek out creative ways to become more spiritual maybe meditation and yoga. Neptune, in the universe is in its home sign of Pisces. So, all the Eclipses in Pisces and Virgo (conjunction and opposition with Neptune, respectively) would have had an extra dollop of confusion added in! And, in Brad’s chart with Chiron at ~10Pisces, emphasizing addictions,but, also spiritual feelings all accentuated. Jupiter, in Libra, will conjunct Angie’s Pluto exactly on 10th October 2016 increasing her sense of power and in the 3rd house, sending powerful communications. Perhaps, she will chose to speak about the divorce to the wider public at this time. If she does, expect impact from her communication.

At the end of June 2017 Jupiter will conjunct her Uranus still in her 3rd house. Unexpected revelations may spill forth! With Libra involved this may involve the judicial system. The summer of 2017 will wrap up with a Total New Moon Eclipse in Leo (again) at 28Leo53, still in Angie’s first house. A brand new creative start for Angie. In Brad’s 9th House, this may present opportunities for a new spiritual bent, travel to foreign lands, or education!

You can only wish them both luck!
