In episode 103 astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield take on broadcast journalist and Vanderbilt royalty, Anderson Cooper and his former businessman beau, Benjamin Maisani. The two are romantically separated, but are co-parents to two children and have maintained a strong friendship.
First, we look into Anderson’s chart and see themes of caretaking and wanting to nurture/mother others, thanks to a Cancerian Midheaven conjunct Venus and a 7th house Moon opposing his Ascendant. This conveys that he is a family-oriented person with a deep need for emotional comfort in relationships. But with his Sun in the eighth house, getting a harsh square from controlling Pluto, there is great difficulty and lessons around family and power dynamics that occur when shared wealth is involved.
Next, we look into Benjamin’s chart and see a genius alignment between the Sun and Mercury in intellectual and forward-thinking Aquarius. This is an innovative man that needs to do things differently and on his own terms. Adding a supportive trine from Pluto in Libra, we sense that his social influence and networking skills are far-reaching. We are also glad to see that his moody Scorpio Moon gets some help from a sturdy and patient Venus in Capricorn.
Together, we find that this couple has a surprising number of aspects and find many between assertive cardinal signs. With sextile Mars’, trine Suns and sextile Saturns, their working relationship is impeccable. Both of their ego needs, in particular, get a big, supportive, boost from this relationship. But with Benjamin's burdensome Saturn conjunct Anderson's Sun and Ben's chaotic Uranus opposing Anderson's Moon, their domestic life seems difficult to say the least. Listen in to hear what Venus score we give these successful and wealthy co-parents.
