<\/a>Rosie O\u2019Donnell, the well-known comedienne, suffered a heart attack this week at the age of 50. \u00a0I have profiled Rosie in these pages before, especially about her \u201cMars problem\u201d as I call it:<\/a><\/p>\nIt\u2019s no secret that the most brilliant comedians are often depressed and angry individuals who release their frustration through comedy, and Rosie O\u2019Donnell is no exception. Rosie was born with the Sun in Aries, the sign that is ruled by the god of war. The Aries influence is dynamic and inspirational but can also be rebellious and impulsive. Rosie O\u2019Donnell exhibits all of these character traits.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mars in her chart, the planet that rules her Aries Sun, falls in the mystical and adaptable sign of Pisces. When the fiery god of war (Mars) is expressed through the watery sign of empathy and the subconscious (Pisces), there is a tendency for unconscious resentments, anger turned inward into depression. In addition, Pisces tends to shrink from conflict so Mars in Pisces can produce passive aggressive behavior that doesn\u2019t confront a problem directly but instead is outwardly peaceful (Pisces) but subtly sabotages a situation.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mars in Rosie\u2019s chart is conjunct Mercury, the planet of communication and transmission of ideas, a combination that links her aggressive instinct (Mars) with her thoughts and words (Mercury). Because Mercury is also in sensitive Pisces, Rosie is extremely empathic and compassionate to those around her, but she can also become a warrior (Mars) with words (Mercury) when she is crossed. Both Mars and Mercury are conjunct Chiron, the god of wounding and healing, which suggests a hypersensitivity that can be very reactive.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
This Mars\/Mercury\/Chiron combination is opposed by Pluto, the planet of power and transformation. When the god of war faces off with the god of the underworld, there are power struggles and a sense of frustration that both generates a tremendous amount of physical energy but also can lead to an underlying rage. Mercury in opposition to Pluto shows an individual with an intensely probing mind who can become overly obsessive. Because in Rosie\u2019s chart her frustration and rage is difficult to express through the watery Pisces influence, she carries that frustration around within her where it leaks out at inopportune moments, such as Rosie\u2019s recent feuds with Donald Trump and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Rosie is in the middle of her Chiron return right now \u2013 the planetary cycle of Chiron that occurs for everyone when they are 50-52 and Chiron in the sky returns to the same degree as it is in our individual charts. \u00a0Chiron cycles tend to bring out issues that need resolving \u2013 it is known as the \u201cwounded healer,\u201d but more than that I like to call it the Soul Healer\u201d because as these old wounds are wounds of the soul as well as the psyche and their healing helps us to advance in our soul evolution as well as personal development.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nOur resistance to this evolution can create problems for us, both psychological and physical and nowhere is this more true than in Chiron cycles which are often associated with health problems. \u00a0It\u2019s commonly said that \u201cafter 50 the body goes downhill\u201d \u2013 astrologically, this is due to the shifts that occur at the Chiron return.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nFor Rosie, this is made more complicated by the fact that her Chiron is part of this major system in her chart as described above, so when Chiron returns to its place in her chart it is also transiting her Mars, and opposing Pluto where soul surgery is necessary. \u00a0This is an intense time that requires a great deal of internal work to navigate.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nUranus is working on Rosie too with an awkward (inconjunct\/quincunx) aspect to the Mars\/Chiron\/Pluto system. \u00a0Uranus is electrical in nature, and because the pumping of the heart is an electrical process, challenging transits of Uranus can sometimes interfere with this mechanism and create heart difficulties where there are energetic blocks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nFor Rosie O\u2019Donnell, and others with the kind of pent-up rage that is the hallmark of a chart like this, regular physical activity is critical so that the energy that builds up can be released in a positive way. \u00a0Rosie is overweight, but in my view this is a symptom of the Mars problem rather than the source of the health problem since the Mars problem causes frustration to build up to a point where it needs to be addressed in some way, and many of us turn to food for that release.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe fact that Rosie didn\u2019t take her chest pains seriously and didn\u2019t know she had had a heart attack until she went to the cardiologist the next day could show that this kind of stress is more familiar to her. \u00a0Stress is indeed a killer, and I hope that she takes advantage of this event to do some critical inner healing work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nDisclaimer: I have no medical training and nothing in this article is intended as medical advice. \u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[related_posts limit=\u201d5\u2033 image=\u201d50\u2033]<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rosie O\u2019Donnell, the well-known comedienne, suffered a heart attack this week at the age of 50. \u00a0I have profiled Rosie in these pages before, especially about her \u201cMars problem\u201d as I call it: It\u2019s no secret that the most brilliant comedians are often depressed and angry individuals who release their frustration through comedy, and Rosie […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":537,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[2448,2505,2506],"class_list":["post-9137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health","tag-health-astrology","tag-mars-conjunct-chiron","tag-rosie-odonnell-heart-attack"],"yoast_head":"\n
