The meteoric rise of Susan Boyle has been like a fabulous firework which rockets into the sky out of nowhere, explodes itself across the heavens, and then falls to earth again forever changed.
You can read more about Susan's birthchart and astrological profile here, and about how the current planetary cycles affected her meteoric rise.
Over the past week there were signs of trouble; stories of meltdowns and of Susan being rushed to a safe house where the stress wouldn't overwhelm her ability to compete in the final round of Britain's Got Talent last night. As mentioned in my profile of Susan, she has a sensitive opposition between the Sun (conscious mind) and the Moon (emotional sensitivity) which shows a tendency to be somewhat reactive emotionally. This is exacerbated by a square of Mars (aggression) to the Moon and Sun, especially because her Mars is in the nurturing sign of Cancer where its aggressive instinct does not get a strong outlet. There is often a pattern of resentment and built-up anger that results. This is particularly true for someone like Susan with an Aries Sun, ruled by Mars, who needs to be able to clearly express that inner aggression. This is not the chart of someone who responds well to stress.
At the time of these meltdowns Susan was experiencing a transit of Mars over her Venus. Venus describes the way we interact with others, and Mars of course expresses our aggression and our ability to defend ourselves, so when Mars hit her Venus exactly on May 27, there was an eruption.
The Midheaven is the point in the chart that describes our career and public life, and in the progressed chart (the evolving chart that shows how our career life changes) her Midheaven is nearly exactly squared by Pluto, the planet of transformation, right now. Pluto cycles change our life forever, but not always the way we choose.
We have seen in American Idol that it is just as often the runners up that have the most spectacular career success. The problem with becoming an overnight sensation is that one does not develop the inner resources (Venus) to be able to manage the personal attention and exposure of fame. Susan Boyle has a fabulous voice, but she lacks the people skills and the tough skin required to launch an immediate career in the public eye. Hopefully she will be able to use her talents in a way that will help her to evolve both personally and professionally.
Susan Boyle's sudden fame corresponds with the triple conjunction in the sky of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune. Read more about this connection here.

Marianne, I think it's taking a bit far to say that Susan Boyle has Asperger's Syndrome. I feel that she is a person with a fabulous voice who was used as a "phenomenon" to show that average people can be extremely talented, and then when that phenomenon had passed she was relegated back to everyday life. Look at the criticism she has had to endure: first for being too frumpy, then for selling out and getting a makeover. See my article on the Zeitgeist and Susan Boyle that I linked in this article. That whole experience must have been extremely stressful for her as it would be for anyone.
I was just curious if there was anything in her chart that indicated any kind of disability. Wow, this sure seems to be a touchy subject for a few people.
Hi Marianne, there really isn't anything in the chart that would be a strong marker for a disability. The T-square with the Full Moon (Moon opp Sun) square to Mars really waters down her Mars, especially since Mars is in Cancer. Then she has a watery grand trine with Mars, Neptune and Mercury so there is likely a lot of pent-up energy that doesn't get expressed from that Mars. If she was an athlete, that energy would find an outlet but I suspect that instead it funnels into an ADD sort of thing.
I had a feeling this would happen. She may never have been in the spot light in her life. Then being thrust into it is such a shock. Then worrying about how to stay in it. It's hard. She should try an relax take it easy. She is well loved and she could make CD's. Why do we always have to change people. There was noting wrong with her.
Now, we have to give her space and branch out when she can. You know you don't have to be first to be a star. She is a star to me and hope and pray she gets better. God Bless Her Always.
Thanks for the article. I was reading and noticed you have F. Sway on here. The Terminex man was here today and commented only on the beautiful black screen in front of the heater/ac unit.
I know it doesn't keep the good vibes flowing.
The reason I have it there is that the first maintence man, no second, since I rented in my apt. caulked behind the unit.
He made a terrible mess, and I can see the balled up plastic caulking from wherever I sit. The management here promised every time we are inspected to fix it.
Me being me, I always say, no hurry. Therefore, they never fix it. I
found this great screen with beautiful pink roses painted on it for
19.99. So I see beuaty instead of ugliness now. It must override the f. sway part of the equation.
