Actress turned director Heather Graham has made a comedy – Chosen Family – about her struggles to stop being a people-pleaser which led to her splitting from her family thirty years ago.
She was born 29 January 1970 5.37pm Brookfield, Wisconsin, with an FBI agent father and children’s author mother who were religious and disapproved of her opting for an acting career.
“I stopped talking to them and, I have to say, that was a huge relief. I felt like, at that moment, my life opened up with a freedom. I didn’t need to please them.”
She does have a tricky chart with a Scorpio Moon conjunct Jupiter which would be where her tendency to put on a good face comes from but that opposes Saturn in Taurus for a less than nurturing childhood and probably a fair amount of double-messaging. The opposition squares onto Sun Venus in Aquarius so she’ll have a need to be noticed and Jupiter Venus will also be inclined to smooth over unpleasantness and aim for harmony.
Her 8th house Mars exactly conjunct Chiron opposes both Pluto and Uranus so there would have been heavy undercurrents of anger and domination when she was growing up. Her Saturn is also on the focal point of a yod inconjunct Neptune sextile Pluto and Uranus which requires a backbone and presumably the ability to put down limits before it works well.
Fascinating chart with strong sugary sweet Jupiter Venus Sun aspects but the rest of it is bubbling with with feelings which are the exact opposite.
