Below are examples of famous people born with this combination in their natal charts (natal chart is another word for astrological birth chart, or pictographic representation of the sky when they were born). When we witness how this combination shows up in the lives of others, we can become more self-aware of how this combination shows up in our own lives. The more we are conscious of the ways astrological alignments (otherwise known as “aspects”) show up in our lives, the more the archetypal tensions involved can become integrated in our lives, thus revealing inherent strengths to us.
Please note that the tension of this archetypal combination, as illustrated in the lives and creations of the famous people in the examples below, may be demonstrated in ways that are more integrated or less integrated.
The Moon-Jupiter combination in the chart of singer/actress Julie Andrews can be easily seen in her tendency to play roles as royal or high society (Jupiter) women (Moon), such as Queen Guinevere in Camelot, Maria Von Trapp in The Sound of Music, Queen Clarisse Marie Renaldi of Genovia in The Princess Diaries, and Queen Lillian in the Shrek series. This symbolism can also be seen in the name of Hip Hop artist Queen Latifah, who was also born with the Moon-Jupiter combination in her natal chart.
