| Meg Ryan & Russell Crowe: Great Hair But Doomed Love Affair |

Introduction
A very recent Supermarket rag
magazine reported that Meg Ryan, America's official Sweetheart and
terminally great hair icon, was trying to recapture her torrid romance
with Aussie bad boy Russell Crowe.
While you can't always believe
everything you read about celebrities, Meg's chart along with her
current planetary trends point to some element of truth in this latest
rumor mill. Will Meg succeed in enticing Crowe back into her
romantic life? The planets have the answer which will be finalized in
early 2003.
Ironically, Meg's natal chart
also completely exonerates her with regard to her separation from her
former husband, Dennis Quaid and her affair with Russell Crowe.
How? The planets reveal all. Read on.
Meg
- The Incredible Scorpion
Meg was born on November 19, 1961
in Fairfield, CT. Time unknown. Her
natal Scorpion Sun, co-ruled by powerful Pluto and fiery Mars, is
located at 27 degrees. Meg also has Mercury, Venus and Neptune in
Scorpio. The natal moon and ruler of her emotions is
in intense Aries, also ruled by Mars.
America's beloved actress is
almost nothing like the wildly popular "Sally" of When Harry
Met Sally fame. If anything, Meg's chart indicates that she is
probably a lot more like the dark alcoholic wife in When A Man Loves A
Woman or the tough wife in Proof Of Life. Although the public
admires her for the roles she has played, the real Meg Ryan is an
incredibly strong, loyal and ethical person. She is also
extremely private (and I apologize in advance for exposing any
of her astrological secrets).
Based on her natal planets there
is no doubt that Meg was destined to be a great movie star. Her
reign as a hair idol is also indicated in her chart by the placement
of her Moon in Aries, her Venus (hair and physical beauty) in Scorpio
(transformational to generations) her Mars in Sagittarius and her
Jupiter in Aquarius (tousled & unpredictable). These planets
show that Meg is a pioneer and rebel in her personal appearance and
hairstyles. The influence of her natal Uranus conjunct Pluto
shows that her independent ways of wearing her hair have captured the
imagination of the world and has helped transform the traditional view
of what is ideal in the world of hairstyles.
Discovering
The Real Meg Ryan
The public has no clue to the
real Meg, as they discovered in the Summer of 2000 when it was
revealed that she had left her husband of 10 years, actor Dennis Quaid
(April 9, 1954) and was frolicking with Aussie bad boy, Russell Crowe
(April 7, 1964).
Meg's scandalous affair was
exposed when transiting Saturn was in the later degrees of Taurus
opposing her natal Sun in Scorpio. Although always private Meg
said very little publicly about her separation (Saturn) from Quaid or
her romance with Crowe, her press agents reported that Crowe was
definitely not the cause of the separation from Quaid.
Pre-Crowe
Marital Problems From Saturn
Her chart definitely confirms
that this was the absolute truth. In fact, Meg probably really
started having marital challenges, doubts and concerns in May of 1998
when transiting Saturn in Aries squared her natal Saturn in
Capricorn. This type of Saturn square will often manifest as
deep introspection about the structure, responsibility and happiness
around long term commitments, partnerships or marriages. Saturn will
also spotlight unhappiness or a need to make major changes.
Besides keeping her personal life
very private , Meg most likely hide problems in her
"picture perfect" relationship with Quaid. With his
natal Saturn at 7 degrees of Scorpio on top of Meg's natal Venus
(love) planet, she may have always felt that Quaid did not love her
the way she really wanted to be loved. Their Saturn/Venus
conjunction could have also indicated that Meg may have felt
chronically misunderstood or even that Quaid might have embarked on
secret intimate relationships.
Quaid's natal Saturn made strong
aspects to Meg's Neptune (dreams) and Mercury (communication).
This may have manifested as Meg feeling that she and Quaid could not
communicate and that they did not share the same dreams. The
Saturn might also have made Meg feel that she carried the major
responsibility for the relationship and indeed, she helped Quaid
overcome long term drug (Neptune) problems.
Out
With The Old Aries - In With The New
During the time that she was
dealing with transiting Saturn square her natal Saturn, transiting
Jupiter was also making rather challenging aspects to her husband's
natal Mars and natal Jupiter. This would indicate that he might
have been keeping secrets from her or shut her out of his life in some
way. Again this indicates that the marriage was under stress as far
back as 1998.
By the time that Meg met Russell
on location for the Proof Of Life film she had also experienced the
pressure of transiting Saturn opposing her natal Venus, Neptune and
Mercury. In March of 2000 transiting Saturn was conjuncting
Meg's natal Neptune of illusions and Mercury, planet of
communication. There is no doubt that Meg had weathered
challenging marital times for at least two years and was ready for a
new love, romance and passion.
Ironically Meg left her Aries husband for her Aries lover.
Although Quaid and Crowe both have their natal Suns in Aries, conjunct
Meg's natal Moon in Aries, the similarities between the two men stop
there.
Venus
& Mars - Explosive Chemistry
When Meg connected with Crowe she was coming out of a long cycle of
Saturn which probably manifested in a feeling of emotional isolation,
sadness and depression. Crowe's natal Mars of excitement and
passion was trine Meg's own Mars in Sagittarius and was in the same
sign as her Moon inevitably stirring up feelings of intensity.
Astrologically it is indicated that Crowe and Meg were mutually
attracted to each other. However, it would seem from Meg's chart
that she was the aggressor in establishing the initial romantic
relationship.
Like most Scorpions, Meg can operate brilliantly behind the scenes
never revealing her true depth or complex thoughts. With so many
of her planets co-ruled by the aggressive and passionate Mars, Meg
would have no other outcome with Russell then the one she wanted and
achieved.
There is no doubt that Meg and Russell had an explosive chemistry
as a result of the strong aspects that their natal planets made to
each other. Russell's Venus (love) in 2 degrees of Gemini made a
close opposite to Meg's natal Mars (passion). This is
chemistry. This is intense love which can also turn to intense
fighting.
Russell's Jupiter of expansion and liberation was near Meg's Moon
which indicates that Russell set Meg free from her chains of Saturn
and also was a positive catalyst for change and expansion.
Russell's Saturn is in opposition to Meg's Uranus and Pluto which
can show death and regeneration as well as abrupt changes. In
retrospect, although Meg had probably long ago decided to end her
unhappy marriage, Russell gave her the motivation to break totally
free and more on with her life. Saturn can often act as a
trigger to embrace changes and deal with issues of death and rebirth.
Meg's
Rose Colored Crowe Glasses
As of the first week of July,
2002, transiting Neptune (delusions) in unpredictable Aquarius was
forming a square (blocks) aspect to Meg's natal Venus in Scorpio. To
add even more fog to this lost love scenario, transiting Neptune is
also currently making a square to Meg's natal Neptune (wishful
thinking) in Scorpio.
With her Venus love planet in
Scorpio, Meg does not love lightly or for the short term. During
the time they were together as a couple, Meg gave her heart completely
to Crowe, only to have it broken with the ending of the affair.
With the current transitioning Neptune aspects (lost dreams), Meg may
be filled with false hope that she can woo Russell back to her life as
her permanent love.
Will Russell return to Meg's
waiting arms? Astrologically the planets don't hold much
hope. In May of 2001 Crowe had his own transiting Saturn
challenges. Transiting Saturn moved to a conjunction with
Crowe's natal Venus (love) indicating the separation or ending with a
lover. Transiting Saturn moved to a square with his natal Uranus
in June of 2001. Saturn formed squares with Crowe's natal Pluto
in July of 2001, November of 2001 and April of 2002. Since Meg
is a Plutonian ruled Scorpio with four planets in Scorpio it appears
that as of April 2002, Saturn made sure that Crowe was completely
separated from his time with Meg and would most likely not be going
back.
Additional indicators that
Russell will probably never return to Meg as anything other than a
friend is the current transiting Uranus squaring Megs natal Sun and
the transiting Jupiter squaring her natal Moon. There is little
doubt that Meg is feeling anything but frustrated and angry at this
disappointing sequence of events.
The current aspects causing Meg
to hope for a reunion will not be over until March of 2003. At
that time all of her dreams and illusions about who Crowe really is
will be revealed to her and she will be able to start to move forward
with her life. Just as Meg will also love Quaid, she will always
have a special place deep in her heart for Crowe.
Not
Meant To Be For The Long Term
Although Meg may not be willing
or able to recognize it at this time, even if Russell Crowe had
resumed their love affair, he would have repeatedly broken her
heart. Not only does Russell have his love planet in flirtageous
Gemini, which often indicates having multiple lovers at the same time,
his Moon in unpredictable Aquarius is trining Venus. This means
that Russell will always be very popular with the ladies (Moon) and
can have must about any woman that he desires for love (Venus) or
play. It also means that he may pick up and run off with a
moment's notice to have a good time.
Unfortunately both Meg and
Russell had natal Neptune in Scorpio with Russell's Neptune applying
to Meg's Sun. The man she thought she fell in love with does not
really resist but Neptune has kept her confused about the real
Russell.
Natal Venus is square his natal
Uranus and Pluto which are both in the sign of Virgo. This
indicates that Crowe will have a very hard time remaining faithful or
committed in love to any one person for any extended period of
time. It also implies that he is extremely critical and
picky about the woman that he spends times with on a romantic
level.
Russell's natal Moon in very
unpredictable Aquarius shows that he wants and needs an emotional
partner that is completely independent and totally non-restrictive of
his bad boy ways. He will not tolerate any attempts to control
his behavior. Russell's legendary temper tantrums are shown by
his natal Mars in Aries and the fact that he has three planets in
Aries.
With her Venus in serious,
committed Scorpio, Meg would not be able to handle even the remote
suspicion that Russell was unfaithful. Her four planets in
Scorpio make her possessive and somewhat controlling.
