acts of all time and was dubbed the "Queen of Pop" by various sources. She is currently ranked as the best-selling female rock artist of the twentieth century. The Guinness Book Of World Records list her as the world's most successful female recording artist of all time and the top-earning female singer in the world with an estimated net worth of $490 million dollars. On March 10, 2008, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. Madonna's first husband was actor Sean Penn. They married in 1985 and divorced in 1989. In 1996  she conceived a daughter, Lourdes Maria (also known as Lola) by her personal trainer, Carlos Leon  before marrying her current hubby, film director Guy Richie in 2000. She and Ritchie have two sons, Rocco and David Banda, a Malawian  boy they adopted in 2006, which caused media allegations they violated that country's adoption laws. Madonna and Ritchie have since filed for divorce in October 2008.

The first rule of prediction is that no event can be forecast that isn't seen or "promised" in the natal chart.  So, let's begin with a brief look at this horoscope as it apply's to relationships. Lets cut right to the chase and look at the celestial bodies that deal with the fundamental concept of male and female in the horoscope; namely the Sun and Moon.  In this case the Sun is located in the 12th house of self undoing and is square Mars while the Moon is in the first house of self and is square restrictive Saturn.  So, right off the bat, Madonna has relationship issues. Her feelings (the Moon) are repeatedly crushed by her ambitions.  (Saturn) This is the reason she gave for the breakup of her first marriage to Sean Penn. In addition the sun in the 12th square Mars is not an aspect of cooperation. It is an aspect of self centered (The Sun) action. (Mars)  As always, Venus is the actual planet of relationships. More than just the planet of love, Venus tells us how we go about forming relationships. Cooperation, compromise and social interaction are the hallmarks of Venus. In this horoscope Venus is under assault from two rather negative square aspects indicating serious relationship issues. The first is from extravagant Jupiter and the second is from illusion prone Neptune. Venus square Jupiter is often found in the horoscopes of extravagant, wasteful and morally bankrupt people who are not now and will never be true friends. They tend to be a bit self indulgent and are rarely there when you need them. It seems strange to many students that Venus and Jupiter, universally recognized as the most beneficial planets, can be so harmful to social interaction when they are in the square aspect. The problem is that they are simply too self absorbed. They are in relationships (Venus) to expand (Jupiter) their world and not yours. It is a very selfish aspect and is never good for long term and beneficial relationships. They are, at best,  fair weather friends. In addition, they often lose a lot of money (Venus) due to legal (Jupiter) issues. To all this let's add a square aspect of difficulties from sensitive, erotic and delusional Neptune to her planet of social interaction. The square of Neptune to Venus is anything but an aspect of true blue relationship. These people are too easily influenced and seduced by the erotic nature of Neptune. If there is cheating going on it is a very good bet that Venus could be in a negative relationship with Neptune. So, with Venus square Neptune and Jupiter and with the Sun square Mars and the Moon square Saturn, long term stable relationships are not the stuff of this particular horoscope.
 
Now lets see how difficult it is going to be to see if this horoscope can tell us why Madonnas marriage is having difficulty's at this particular time. It should come as no big surprise that it is actually going to be extremely easy.  All we have to do is add the current position of the planets to Madonna's horoscope.  I always start with Saturn soI immediately know that she recently had a second peak of power and she is now in her Obscure phase and will soon dissappear from the headlines for a while. We could then smove on and see that Uranus, the planets of sudden and unexpected change is currently activating her seventh house of marriage and partnerships. For those who understand astrology I have to say, could it get any easier? The basic meaning of Uranus is to change the status of what is. In the seventh house it tells the astrologer that Madonna is feeling more independent (Uranus) about relationships. (seventh house) She is craving a greater degree of freedom in her relationships which she currently finds too binding and restrictive. But that in itself is not enough. With Uranus in her 7th house Madonna is feeling less committed to her marriage. With her natural Venus squares she will do what she wants about that. But Uranus has now moved to 19 degrees of Pisces forming an exact square to her natal Saturn located at 19 degrees of Sagittarius in her 4th house of home and family. Uranus (sudden and unexpected change) in the seventh house of marriage, square (tensions, stresses and obstacles) natal Saturn in the fourth house (the home and family)speaks volumes about the exact timing of the sudden and unexpected breakup of her marriage. It is just simple, basic astrology that works every single time.

Late last week Madonna filed papers for a divorce from husband Guy Richie. Such important events and circumstances as marriage and divorce should easily be seen in a horoscope. Let's apply some basic astrology to Maddonas chart and see if that is true. According to Wikipedia, Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie was  born August 16, 1958 in Bay City Michigan and is known  for a body of work that explores religious symbolism and sexual themes. She has acted in 22 films. Although most failed critically and commercially, she did earn a Golden Globe for her role in the 1996 film Evita. Madonna has been regarded as one of the greatest pop
