John Travolta's Horoscope

John Travolta is an actor that has starred in Grease, Pulp Fiction, Look who’s Talking and Face-Off. John’s father was an American footballer turned salesman, and his mother was an actress and drama teacher. The youngest of six children, he began dancing at an early age, making his acting debut at the age of 12. The actor has been described as electrical, intense and magnetic. I always thought John was a Scorpion, but he actually has Sun in Aquarius. However, he does have Sun in the 8th house opposite Pluto, this gives him some powerful Scorpio energy in his chart. Sun-Pluto aspects are characteristic of someone who has a powerful presence and they are often exposed to the darker sides of society. The type usually has a strong will-power, but they can sometimes feel dominated by outside forces. The life is often coloured with drama, crisis, and troubled relationships. Sue Tompkins says, “ There is a decision at some point in the life to live or die, and en-route that decision, many will undergo despair and self-destructive episodes and have to deal with their (usually) markedly poor-self image.“

Comparatively, John Travolta has experienced immensely painful and heartbreaking events over the course of his life. The star was involved with actress Diana Hyland, whom he met filming The Boy in the Plastic Bubble, the relationship ended when she died of breast Cancer in 1977. During this time transiting Saturn squared John's natal Saturn in Scorpio in the 4th house. This can represent a frustrating period in his life, with adversity, fears and a time when when long-term stability and security is reassessed. Sometimes the individual is burdened with more responsibility. The fourth house square makes him painfully aware of loss of security in early childhood and reliance on loved ones. Natally, Saturn in the fourth house also signifies deep responsibility, heavy burdens and family duties. Transiting Pluto was conjunct his fourth house cusp indicating a death in the environment. The following year while these transits were active his mother died.

“Some of the major changes involve family and home. I have seen clients lose a parent as Pluto conjuncted the fourth-house cusp. Old issues from the past surface to be resolved and I have seen clients get emotional illness at this time” By Carol Rushman

In 1991 he married Kelly Preston and they had a son named Jett and daughter, Ella. In January 2009, John’s son died after hitting his head in the bath at the family’s home. Jett was rumoured to suffer from autism and had a history of seizures. The star was left devastated after burying his son. John did everything in his power to revive him and he shared a very close relationship with him. At the time of his son's seizure, transiting Uranus was opposite his natal Moon indicating change, disruption (Uranus) and disturbing emotional states (Moon). My ex-partner has unaspected Mercury in Pisces and he has an autistic brother. In John’s chart, transiting Uranus was conjunct his natal Mercury in Pisces and this can be a high-wired combination that relates to nervous tension and mental overload. Transiting Neptune had entered his 8th house in orb of a conjunction to his Sun. The eighth house rules death, crisis and change. Sun-Neptune contacts can indicate the loss (Neptune) of a male (Sun) figure.
