Meryl Streep is back in a sequel to the 2006 fashion magazine hit The Devil Wears Prada described by a reviewer as “sprightly and amiable”. With an all star cast including Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Justin Theroux, Kenneth Branagh and Stanley Tucci it looks a tempting distraction from woes elsewhere.
Meryl Streep, born June 22, 1949 8.05 am Summit, New Jersey, has had a prolific, award-winning and versatile career. From Kramer vs Kramer, The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Sophie’s Choice, Out of Africa, A Cry in the Dark through to the musical Mamma Mia! and The Iron Lady, she has moved seamlessly through a wide variety of roles. She is noted for her technical precision and command of dialects. Off screen she is an advocate for gender parity and labour protections.
In an interview she confessed she was ready to retire when she was offered the first Devil Wears Prada in 2006 but flippantly asked for double the money and they said yes.
She was married to an actor who subsequently died of cancer; and more recently to a sculptor with whom she has four children but now separated.
Her Cancer Sun sits in the 11th house of friends and social causes conjunct Uranus so she will have her own individual view on what changes she thinks are necessary. Her steady Taurus Moon North Node in Aries both in the 10th suit her for a public career and a life dedicated to working. Her Moon squares a 1st house Pluto so she will be invested in her family but her ambitions and creative talents will always have pulled her away from cosy domesticity.
Mars conjunct Mercury in Gemini in her 11th will make her outspoken and argumentative, particularly if she sees unfairness, given that her Saturn sits in square. What is striking is a yod which dominates her chart with her rebellious Sun Uranus sextile her meticulous, workaholic Saturn in Virgo inconjunct Jupiter in Aquarius and her Descendant. What a mix – wild and wayout, conventional and self-doubting as well as super confident.
Her caring Venus in Cancer hidden in her 12th is in a creative square to a 3rd house Neptune and sextile her Moon which softens the harder edges of her Mars square Saturn and controlling Moon square Pluto.
A complicated lady.
Her creative 5th and 7th harmonics are strongly aspected, as is her humanitarian 9H and thespian 15H.
