Unfortunately, the external glamour of stardom does not guarantee happiness. Some celebrities manage to remain unhappy and suffer from loneliness. Even Marilyn Monroe once said that “a career is a wonderful thing, but it won’t warm you on a cold night,” and, it seems, all the heroes of our article would agree with her…
1. Jennifer Aniston (February 11, 1969)
1st place, the “palm of unrequited love” among the unluckiest stars. The dramatic story of her divorce and the subsequent string of failed romances have made her name synonymous with an unhappy woman. Her planned wedding to Vince Vaughn, her co-star in “The Break-Up,” never happened when Jen saw a photo in the papers of her fiancé kissing an unknown woman. Her romance with model Paul Sculfor ended no better: he simply fled after the couple had to hide in a mansion for a day, besieged by 50 paparazzi. Jennifer nearly gave up and filed adoption papers for a foster child, even freezing her eggs in hopes of becoming a mother one day… She even tried online dating to preserve her anonymity. “Jennifer needs a man who knows who she really is, not just a movie star,” her friend confided. “For now, she just wants to see who will write to her.” But her new romance turned out to be anything but virtual. Her current boyfriend is singer John Mayer. Perhaps the black streak is finally behind her?
Comments by astrologer Natalia Zhukovych:
“When an astrologer studies a client’s chart, they first look at the position of Venus. After all, Venus is not just fleeting infatuation—it’s the ability to love, to maintain relationships, to compromise for the sake of love, to make sacrifices for a loved one. Jennifer’s Venus is in Aries—aggressive, selfish, and warlike. This placement does not favor long-term romantic relationships. Passionate attraction quickly gives way to other interests and concerns.
2. Robbie Williams (February 13, 1974)
The former star of *Take That* with his eccentric personality became famous not only for scandals and hit songs. Love has consistently failed him! His latest romance ended in disappointment just weeks ago, when the *Evening Standard* reported that Williams had split from his girlfriend. “Aida wanted to remake Robbie, who is very different from the average Californian, and that ultimately doomed their relationship. They were just too different. Robbie preferred to walk around the city unnoticed and keep a low profile, while 28-year-old Aida craved fame and success.” The sad ending led to an unusual decision: the singer sank into depression and announced he no longer wanted to tour—his career had lost its appeal.
Astrologer’s opinion:
“Robbie’s Venus is in Capricorn. Usually, love comes to such people either later in life or only after years of testing their feelings before they realize they can make a choice. In Williams’ chart, as in Aniston’s, Venus is in a tense aspect to Uranus—eccentric and unpredictable.
3. Kylie Minogue (May 28, 1968)
No one has yet led this girl to the altar, though millions dream of it… Happiness was so close! In 2005, when the singer was diagnosed with breast cancer, her former lover, Olivier Martinez, returned to her side and stayed through the hardest days of treatment and chemotherapy. On her birthday, spent in a hospital room, he even proposed—but… Once the ordeal was over, Martinez disappeared. Now that Kylie has recently turned 40, she insists she is perfectly happy and not at all desperate: “I know many married women for whom happiness and marriage are not the same thing.” Recently, rumors spread that Kylie and Martinez were back together.
Astrologer’s opinion:
“Kylie’s Venus is in Gemini—her feelings are constantly torn between contradictions, infatuation fades quickly, and her hectic lifestyle and numerous acquaintances never turn into serious, stable relationships. Kylie’s Venus is conjunct Lilith (Black Moon), which overshadows its qualities and often…”
4. Keanu Reeves (September 2, 1964)
The sad Neo from *The Matrix* rarely smiles. And for good reason! In 1999, his beloved Jennifer Syme died in a car crash, and two years before that, they lost a stillborn child… For a long time after, Keanu was consumed by family troubles—his sister was battling leukemia. In one interview, he broke down: “It’s not fair! It’s absurd. Grief changes form, but it never ends. When the people you love leave, you become lonely. Now I avoid people and don’t want anyone to become part of my life—or for me to become part of theirs.” But time heals: the actor is now in a relationship with British actress China Chow.
Astrologer’s opinion:
“Keanu Reeves is a true enigma. He has so much that attracts the opposite sex, yet it remains unclear why this handsome man has never made a woman truly happy. But there’s a catch: his Mars in Cancer has a detrimental influence that extends to both Venus (his beloved woman) and the Moon (his wife).
5. Cameron Diaz (August 30, 1972)
Four years with Justin Timberlake never gave Diaz what she wanted most—she never wore a wedding dress… Despite the high-profile breakup, Cameron managed to carry on as if nothing had happened. Justin moved on to new fame, while she was left with only sympathetic glances… Recently, the press reported that Diaz was engaged to her former boyfriend Paul Sculfor, the same man Jennifer Aniston once dated. Perhaps he finally overcame his fear of paparazzi…
Astrologer’s opinion:
“Once again, we see the same pattern as in Aniston and Williams—is there a pattern for stars? Cameron’s Venus is in Cancer—she craves care, tenderness, and family, but the scars of past breakups linger. This alone would be enough to make her feel unhappy, but the gods apparently wanted more: in her birth chart, Venus is in a tense aspect to Uranus—unexpected separations, unstable feelings, and an inability to sacrifice personal freedom for love.”
6. Leonardo DiCaprio (November 11, 1974)
The handsome Leo, who once turned the heads of fans worldwide, is fatally unlucky in love. His girlfriend, Israeli model Bar Refaeli, refuses to walk down the aisle, and Leonardo himself cannot forget his first love, Gisele Bündchen… Despite the fact that Gisele is now engaged to someone else, he never tires of calling her every day. It’s as if he *needs* to hear her voice. ‘He still loves her,’ a friend of the sad Leo revealed. So why doesn’t anyone want to marry him?
Comments by astrologer Olga Solovyova:
“He’s a true romantic hero. The conjunction of Uranus, Mars, the Sun, and Venus in Scorpio makes him charming, passionate, hypersexual, and… overly possessive! He needs to own the object of his affection completely and exclusively, like a slave. His Moon in Libra reflects his desire to be needed and useful to someone!”
7. Renée Zellweger (April 25, 1969)
Even the awkward *Bridget Jones* turned out to be happier than the actress who played her. Her marriage lasted only six months, and no one ever understood what happened between the world’s favorite curvy woman and country singer Kenny Chesney. Neither before nor after the split did Zellweger find personal happiness… Her only serious romance was with Jim Carrey—but, let’s be honest, does that name really fit with the word ‘serious’? She shares the warmest friendship with George Clooney and Matthew McConaughey, but no one fills the role she longs for.
Astrologer’s opinion:
“Here’s some good news—she *will* find true love and be happy. This is indicated by the aspect between Mars and Venus in her natal chart. Why will it happen later in life? First, Taureans don’t like to rush. Second, she has many complexes and psychological issues (Venus in Scorpio loves to win for a woman). And third, there are restrictions in her family life that she simply cannot tolerate (due to the square between the Moon and Saturn in her chart).”
8. Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958)
The King of Pop holds a Guinness World Record for his fame, but human happiness remained a mystery to him. After countless plastic surgeries, the lonely Mr. Lonely was married twice—to the daughter of another pop idol, Elvis Presley, and to the modest assistant of his doctor, Deborah Rowe—and found no happiness in either marriage. Yet he has children who brighten his strange reclusive life. Have all the girls who would love a monster disappeared? After all, love could once again turn him into a king!
Astrologer’s opinion:
“There’s one strange aspect in his chart that was also present in Marlene Dietrich’s. She became a recluse as her charm faded. This aspect explains his desire and drive to change his appearance through countless plastic surgeries. It’s primarily the work of Venus, the planet of form, and Proserpina in its place of exile, which amplifies complexes and the fear of losing fame and brilliance.
9. Britney Spears (December 2, 1981)
Though she remains a sex icon for many years, the young and beautiful Britney has never found a man who truly loved her. Her marriage to Kevin Federline looked like a distraught girl’s attempt to marry the first man she met. So no one was surprised when Britney’s marriage—and with it, her entire life—fell apart. It seems that if a strong, loving man—*the* one—had been by her side, all her problems would have vanished instantly. But alas, love has passed Britney by. They say she even asked her ex-husband Federline to ‘remarry’ her…
Astrologer’s opinion:
“Poor girl—her Venus is conjunct the South Lunar Node, or the Dragon’s Tail. Alone. But with the Moon in Aquarius, a person unconsciously craves freedom.
10. Sylvester Stallone (July 6, 1946)
Strangely, his mother—an astrologer—couldn’t give her son clear advice on marriage. As a result, Sly was married three times—to Brigitte Nielsen, Sasha Czack, and Jennifer Flavin—and had children with each of them. But here’s the odd part: two of his ex-wives tried to drain him financially and move on to greener pastures. Only his third marriage turned out to be more or less happy. Once, the actor confessed: “Every morning, I can’t wait for my daughters to wake up. And every evening, I try to be home to have dinner with my wife and children.”
Astrologer’s opinion:
“A paradox! With the Moon in Libra conjunct Jupiter, he *needs* a successful and famous partner. But the North Lunar Node, or Dragon’s Head, conjunct Uranus, suggests his path of cosmic evolution lies in achieving complete freedom and independence?”
* * *
…Human life is amazing and unpredictable: it seems like just yesterday women’s magazines pitied Heidi Klum, deceived by her fiancé on the eve of their wedding… And now, the radiant Heidi shares the secrets of her family happiness with journalists—less than six months after her ‘total collapse,’ life has smiled upon her once more! Remember how the world once doubted there would ever be a ‘prince’ for Madonna… Perhaps one day, the ‘unlucky in love’ will find their happiness, grow wiser, and learn to cherish every day, just like Sylvester Stallone.
