Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas — born on September 25 with a 25-year difference… she in ’69 in Wales, he in ’44 in New Jersey (USA) — is this a coincidence or a causal relationship? Astrology views marriages as a karmic process, meaning the synchronicity in this union is not random. It would be logical to assume the young actress’s interest in a wealthy groom from the Douglas clan: millions and show business are exactly what is needed for eternal prosperity. The number 25 (a numerological code) also suggests a tendency to seek contacts and partnerships with businesspeople, especially well-off ones, yet Catherine is not like a heroine from Thackeray’s novel “Vanity Fair,” and Douglas Jr., with his Moon in Capricorn, Mercury conjunct Jupiter, carefully weighed his options. Those born under the sign of Libra generally love to weigh and measure, and logic — the mother of material sciences — is exalted here. Libra stands for partnership, so it is natural that, meeting a kindred spirit in both life and work, they quickly “reached an agreement.” Venus in the man’s horoscope indicates the sign of the woman idealized by him, and in Michael’s chart, it is in Libra, meaning Catherine is associated with such “star Libras” as Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Deneuve. To achieve his ideal, Douglas did not need to travel far: Hollywood played along in their mutual roles — this was aided by aestheticism that easily turns into narcissism, similarity in tastes: love for silk sheets and expensive wines, and even ancestral roots. Both had Irish lineage on some side, and Celtic melodies were heard at the young couple’s wedding. Can this be called love? Probably so, for love is not when the lovers gaze at each other, but when they gaze in the same direction. Michael and Catherine created a family, a clan, a “star couple.” She wants to have a third child because with Michael, she feels very secure and safe; he is caring and wise, the very Atlas who bears the burden of intense labor. In the Sabian symbolism, the 3rd degree of Libra, corresponding to September 25, is described as “a tied person,” meaning the spirit (Sun) of both is somehow restrained. Michael’s retrograde Uranus in Gemini gives a sense of constraint, absolutely intolerant of playing second fiddle, suffocating. The Sun in Libra is in its fall, meaning they are not strong personalities like, for example, Leos or Taureans. Libras are characterized by tenderness and refinement; they tire quickly, and only the survival instinct forces their minds to work like clockwork. Mercury governs intellect, and in Michael’s chart, it is conjunct Jupiter in Virgo, combining scale and detail. In Catherine’s chart, retrograde Mercury in Libra (karmic debts) is compensated by Mars in its exaltation in Capricorn (the degree of caution and calculation), while her intuitive Moon in Pisces and Venus in Virgo point to pragmatism, a penchant for detail (the degree of deep mind). According to the Aryan calendar, she was born in the year of the Hawk (1969) — a bird guided by others, one that does not fly long distances. Intuitively, she handed the reins of power to Michael and now establishes herself through him, while he does so through society — a trait typical of Western men and women. “Wealth marrying beauty” is a pattern ingrained in society for centuries, yet in this pair, beyond the mundane calculation, there is something else irrational, not visible at first glance. In both cosmograms, Black Moon and Lunar Nodes are strongly activated. Zeta’s Lilith conjunct Michael’s North Node in Cancer at the degree of apathy (there is a family issue), while her North Node in Pisces indicates “going with the flow.” Michael’s karma speaks of belonging to a noble family in a past life (South Node in Capricorn), hence the sense of caste and pride, yet cosmic forces specifically indicate to him: to achieve success in this life, he must feed those for whom he is responsible. Zeta’s past life — South Node in Virgo — the sign of service, is directly connected to Pluto (sex, death, trance states) and conjuncts Michael’s Lilith, suggesting that in a past incarnation, Catherine was likely Michael’s concubine, and now he is tempted again by her beauty and the sexuality of a wife. Her retrograde Mercury and Saturn, along with his Moon with South Node in Capricorn, speak of ancient souls who returned to fulfill their lesson. The coincidence of dates in this case confirms the theory of fate and karmic connections: all life moves in rhythm, and the Cosmos imposes this rhythm through the date (code) of birth. People with the same birthday are largely biosynchronous, resonant — this is the foundation of astrology and numerology, and it also underlies geology. A matching date foretells encounters on the highways of fate (“like attracts like”), as destinies of people resemble habits or share similar situations. Synchronicity (coincidences in the temporal continuum), in Jung’s classical sense, has already been re-examined by modern physicists, who concluded that there exists a structure in surrounding space that interacts with living organisms and physicochemical processes. It is called the biosynchronous structure of space (BSS). Furthermore, a biosynchronous structure (BS) linked to any object can be identified in surrounding space. For example, when a person looks at an object, an informational code of that object is recorded in their brain. By mentally visualizing an object in any zone of space, we send the necessary flow of imaginary energy to build its image there. Biosynchronous structure No. 2, an exact copy of biosynchronous structure No. 1 of the previously seen object, moves into that zone, endowing it with all the corresponding properties (almost like in the song “I molded you from what was…”). Biosynchronous structures No. 1 and No. 2 are interconnected. This allows for free mental movement through any segment of time and the ability to correct negative moments or create positive ones. This is likely why the effect of telepathic contact and attraction into one’s destiny of like-minded people exists. Through the biosynchronization structure of space, general feedback between cause and effect is realized. In nature, this phenomenon is clearly refined, as seen in the example of a termite mound or a beehive, though it is still being studied. When we encounter this phenomenon like a rainbow or thunder, we never tire of being amazed, for coincidences are small miracles with which the Cosmos responds to the deep needs of the human psyche. The more a person believed in magical fairy tales and Santa Claus as a child, the more irrational their nature, the more often coincidences will occur in their life. And when this happens, as with the birth dates of the star pair Zeta-Douglas, it becomes clear that there are no coincidences. Astrologer — Valentina Wittrock
