Swatting aside Mercury retrograde as less important than drowning out the USA’s the 250th anniversary celebrations, Taylor Swift may or may not take the initial plunge into marriage to Travis Kelce at 5.30pm today in New York. Though caveats abound with a maybe private ceremony out of sight earlier (which would be the marriage chart). Time will tell. Whatever – New York is awash with police, security as Madison Square Garden prepares for a deluge of showbiz VIP guests.
Marina Hyde in the Guardian has her usual wittily acerbic view on the gargantuan event. ‘During her unprecedented, record-breaking Eras tour a couple of years ago, Taylor moved beyond the status of mere pop star and began to be perceived as a travelling mercantile city-state. It seems entirely appropriate to read reports that her and Travis’s wedding organisers have built a castle within Madison Square Garden (venue for at least part of the marital celebrations).’
If indeed 5.30pm today is lift off then it has the super-confident Pluto opposition Jupiter sextile/trine Neptune and the explosive Mars Uranus conjunction in Gemini (conjunct the tragic but survivalist Sedna). The Sun is also square Saturn for a work-comes-first union. The 3rd house Moon is in a superficially charming and frivolous opposition to Venus in Leo and inconjunct Mercury – designed for show and trivial gossip.
Wedding charts usually echo the themes of the relationship chart though not so in this case.
Taylor Swift, 13 December 1989 8.36 am Reading, PA.
Travis Kelce, 5 October 1989 5.49 am Cleveland, Ohio. Her birth time is maybe questionable; his is birth chart but it makes no difference to the essential nature of their relationship chart.
It has a tightly bound, possessive composite Sun Pluto Mercury conjunction which is trine a lucky Jupiter. Jupiter is further emphasised being in a high-vitality trine to Mars, as well as opposition Uranus Neptune Saturn. Venus is conjunct Uranus which demands freedom in contrast to the Sun Pluto.
The composite Moon does square Venus which slightly echoes the ‘wedding’ chart.
It certainly is a high-octane relationship which it would have to be to withstand the pressures of her level of fame and money. Both are the triple conjunction in Capricorn generation so quite highly strung.
His Sun/Moon midpoint, his marriage significator, is conjunct his Pluto, which makes sense of a high-voltage, powerfully possessive relationship. His Venus is also in Scorpio giving an added depth to his passions and yearnings.
He is a Sun Libra Moon Sagittarius; while she is a Sun Sagittarius with a Cancer Moon – which has good compatibility.
He has a successful Jupiter in his 10th and her Jupiter Moon also fall in his 10th so he was always destined to be drawn to a high profile partner. An athlete’s dynamic Sun Mars conjunction in Libra in his 1st squares his Jupiter opposition Neptune, Saturn (Uranus), so he is spilling over with restlessness and initiative.
His triple conjunction in Capricorn falls in his 4th so he grew up with an unsettled home life. Her triple conjunction also falls in his 4th so cosying down with popcorn on the domestic sofa will not be what either is suited to.
His Jupiter falls in her 7th which is great for relationships; with her Mars in Scorpio conjunct his Venus for an intense physical attraction.
Towards the end of the decade could be problematic with tr Pluto square his Sun/Moon midpoint and both their triple conjunctions in Capricorn having to negotiate swampy tr Neptune in square.
But it is not a relationship that would split easily.
[The wedding chart may be amended as more details emerge. Cosmopolitan is hinting about a small, private Tennessee wedding some days ago.]
I read somewhere, that once Neptune moved out of Pisces, the glitzy and glamorous era of celebrity would pass…into something deeper. Neptune in Aries…Neptune Mars meant to be a spiritual warrior.
Prince William and Travis Kelce NFL met together on a podcast. Synastry?
How do Taylor’s harmonics look like, the 22nd? Their wedding is heavily publicized and a movie is being filmed with them about it.
They met Kate Middleton and William in private in May. Why would they be meeting?
Can you look at their synastry??
Marriage licenses in Rhode Island, Tennessee and New York are public records. Rhode Island requires 72 hours after it is received, 30 days in Tennessee and 60 in New York.
Only California has sealed licenses and in Michigan you can apply with a judge for a secret marriage after explaining why you need privacy.
This astrology for a marriage is not what anyone would elect but it does have themes that seem to run with her life at least. I use the Ascendant ruler for the groom and Descendant ruler for the bride. Jupiter and rx Mercury loosely conjunct. Taylor as rx Mercury is running away. Definite Cinderella elements. Cinderella opened to an Aquarian stellium. Gemini Uranus conjunct Mars. Cinderella and Prince Charming. Pisces north node. Leaving behind your glass shoe behind so the prince can seek Cinderella. Leo Jupiter. Whole thing echoes their engagement Pisces-Virgo in that order and Gemini-Sagittarius themes.
She didn’t put on a 1,000 or more person invitation list in an arena wedding to not show a single picture, she is probably planning to commercialize it. Sad really. Desiring privacy is understandable and relatable. Turning what should be a sacred and special event into cash is how overhanging karma destroys a future life. How much more money does she need?
The Gemini Moon comment seems apt. She feels it, she writes it, but I’d add then she sells it.
Some general thoughts …
– Her Sag Sun seems to be unaspected. So his Sag moon may help her see that in time. But otherwise they have no planets in fire; obviously they are earth heavy.
– They each have South Node in Leo – the wedding feels like a Leo wedding with themes of castles and romance; expensive venue; all-star supporting cast. Their nodal returns are coming up.
– the wedding chart has a VOC moon – usually taken to mean “nothing will come of this”. If it’s the true date/time and she’s into astrology then the astrologer didn’t get this one right. Could easily have done it earlier day with the Aqua moon coming up to opposition with the Leo Venus which is the last aspect. In a couple of years time that Leo Venus will progress to the degree of the moon; not sure what that means though.
– Good luck and hope it works out for them.
Definitely plays to their south node as did the filmed proposal.
The wide guest list perhaps a nod to their expansive network and circles they move in.
They both seem to cherish family. Wish them well too. Taylor seems more suited long term to Travis than her last ex, Joe Alwyn who seems reserved. Taylor and Travis seem like passionate people.
*JUST&T MARRIED* according to
The MSG electric billboard.
It has been such odd news coverage.
Fans outside from far off states. Late day thunder and rain. And not a single image released from the happy couple.
The wedding time was 7:30 PM
She arrived at MSG 6:30 PM
They married an hour later.
That’s when it was announced. I deducted 5 minutes to allow time from the officiant’s pronouncement and the press agent hitting the green light to all who needed to be alweted, from the sign monitor at MSG to an assistant somewhere holding back press. Heavy with Pkuto on cusp of their marital 2nd. The Uranus Mars conjunction in the 5H.
The Moon was Void in Aquarius, when they said “I DO”
I think we’ve discussed this before about her birth tine potentially being inaccurate. She gives me the Gemini moon vibes. She feels it, she writes it. Since that discussion here some time ago, I’ve only seen it play out more. Also, a Swifty mentioned Tay studies astrology and the Swifty is anong those believing a smaller June 6 wedding. There are those who claim there were fireworks over her Rhode Island estate that weekend while Venus and Jupiter were in auspicious positions. Non-astrologically, I’m happy for them. They’re solid people.
Taylor is an amazing artist. Wish them the best!
I just want to see a dress. Gobs of local NYC news coverage and now that their marriage is “official” I have even less understanding of what really happened .
I thought for sure they’d make some kind of live gesture toward their ( her ) fans. Their only communication was inserting their 26 mil charity donation into pre ceremony news cycles.
and the ‘just and t married’ signs on MSG. There were the this event is filmed signs up too so there may be footage other than private (potentially/sometime)? Also the garden was transformed into a garden? And the NY storm and rainbow ‘blessing’
