Cate is phenomenal, just adore her work . . . and she bronzed her elvish ears.
I am soOo on board with that !
Cate is a Taurus packing 5 retrograde planets: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto; indicating introverted planetary expression in the younger years while finding the personal compass. Retrograde energies prospect their internal ground – fine tune, hone their craft well into later years, when they blossom outwardly, radiantly.
Cate’s Aries Venus is trine Mars in Sagittarius – Love of passionate FIRE – the urge to explore and express the ethical dilemmas born of the human instinct. Mercury in Gemini (ruling; strong – also rules Virgo) opposes Sag Mars – gathering the info is only pulling back the bowstring for Cate – the possibilities are endless, but she brings the delicate minutiae to each role (Mars square Pluto in Virgo) fleshing out each character believably.
Toro Sun finds the worth of artistic expression through opposition with Neptune in Scorpio. Neptune opposite Sun can mean a suffering, battered ego made stronger – a path of transcendence – soul and spirit wants and needs to both experience and express the depths; wrangling, funneling Mercurial communication through the Virgoan combine of self-improvement is part and parcel of healing others through common expression.
Cate has Uranus 0 degrees in (Venus-ruled) Libra – a boho planet on a springboard Cardinal degree – signifying a sweetly compelling yet surprisingly uppercutting rebel artistic streak.
Explanation and exploration (Mars square Ura/Jup/Plu) of human frailty reveals itself through an artistic earthbound lesson – the shades and shifts of human ethics. Cate’s artwork is passionate, courageous, surprisingly bold yet brilliantly understated.
The Lady of Light, The Lady of the Wood.
The Lady of Light bears the ring, Nenya, also known as the Ring of Adamant, the Ring of Water, which was made in the Second Age, along with the other two Elven Rings, Narya and Vilya. Nenya is not normally visible; Frodo can see it by virtue of being a Ring-bearer, Sam tells Galadriel he only “saw a star through your fingers.”
Nenya’s power was preservation, protection, and concealment from evil.
Neptune much ?
Water.
Concealment.
Preservation of life, nature.
High qi magick, spirituality.
Such is the longing of Pisces . . .gazing anywhere anyplace and anywhen . . . feeling the oceans of life, adrift and ever feeling.
Rescue, healing.
Confinement.
Buddhist non-attachment or barnacles encrusted. ?
To wear a ring of power is to be alone.
I have them (Venus Neptuner) squared, in my natal.
The present energy – conjunct is sweet – gifty.
(rather than grifty)
The balance is so delicate – always – it requires / re-wires finesse.
Experience is the best teacher.

I am drinking it in, feeling, learning, adapting.
May the octaves of love wash waves of cosmic knowledge over you when you need a light in dark places….

more backstory from a fan on iLyke

:::::::::::::::
She is very beautiful. I have felt a special connection to her career., I saw her on Australian TV at the beginning of her career and was totally enchanted. It was obvious she would go on to be a big star.
I love your description of Sat and Merc Rx. I, too, am loving being awash in this energy. I feel very happy to retire permanently into my introverted world. It is delicious.
Glad you enjoyed, in this pic I find Cate especially radiant, it brought me to do her chart, look deeply at her life work. Hobbit on DVD in 10 days, I believe.
Was chatting with my gf last night about The Gift where she played a psychic, such a great role for her. Elizabeth, The Man Who Cried, Shipping News… I’ve seen so many and she always enthralls.
Awash, good word…yes, indeed. On staycation and hibernating while the snow falls. Lots of work on my plate. take care
