Actress Diane Keaton, known for The Godfather and eight Woody Allen films, including Annie Hall, which won her an Oscar, among many others over a five-decade career, died after a brief illness. He recently directed several films, the first of which was a 1987 documentary, Heaven, chronicling people’s beliefs about the afterlife. In both her film roles and personal life, Keaton was known for her unique style, which often featured masculine clothing and a wide-brimmed hat. Despite a string of famous lovers, including Warren Beatty, Al Pacino and Woody Allen, she never married but had two adopted children.
Born on January 5, 1946 at 2:49 a.m. in Los Angeles, she was drawn to acting after her mother won a “Mrs. Los Angeles” housewife contest and later adopted her mother’s maiden name. Katherine Hepburn was her hero for playing a strong and independent woman.
She was a Capricorn Sun conjunct Venus and a hard-edged conjunction with Mars and Saturn in Cancer. But what dominated his chart was an Air Grand Trine from a communicative 3.third house Aquarius Moon trine Uranus trine Neptune with its Moon opposition Pluto. Hard drive from Mars Saturn. Fresh and intellectual with an emphasis on Air, and quirky with Uranus added to a nonconformist Aquarius Moon. The Moon’s opposition, Pluto, which was the driving rod of the Grand Trine, formed into a comet and made the influential and controlling Pluto the key planet. He would be close to his mother but would also be wary of too much intimacy, which was emphasized by an 8th North Node house. His 12th house, Jupiter, would give him satisfaction in his own company and soften Mars and Saturn square.
She was a friend of Woody Allen, December 1, 1935, 10:55 p.m. in New York, and a strong defender in his problems, after a daughter accused him of abuse. Despite their numerous collaborations and their brief romantic date, it was not an easy relationship. His dominant Pluto in Cancer opposing Mars in Capricorn clashed with his Mars in Cancer.
She said in an interview: “He is the strongest person I have ever met in my life.” It is made of steel. He is the most disciplined person I have ever met, except for my father. So perhaps his disciplinarian father, Mars and Saturn, made it possible for him to cope with Allen’s harsh temperament.
He also said: ‘We share a love of torturing each other with our failures. He could throw insults, and so could I… His ideas about my character were spot on and, obviously, hilarious. I classified it as a cockroach that couldn’t be killed.
There were also softer aspects to his synastry with his Venus in Libra conjunct his Jupiter, which would add a layer of charm to cover the sharper edges. They both had Aquarius Moons, so they would share the same quirky sense of humor. But his Uranus was square his Moon and his Uranus opposed his Sun, so they weren’t designed to be together 24/7.
His relationship chart had a creative composition of Uranus trine Neptune; and a Moon square Jupiter in opposition to Saturn, composed of up and down, moody. But what marked him as special was a composite yod of Mars sextile the Sun conjunct Uranus: volatile, argumentative but destined to be together one way or another. In this case the Uranian way = independence of both sides.
