Bette Midler

Bette Midler is a super star, it cannot be denied. She is probably perceived by some as a wacko due to her gregarious personality. Our theory is that she is totally cool but that she probably was the stroppiest kid on the block, so determined was she to make her dreams come true! Her family was New York Jewish, she grew up in an Asian neighbourhood. She is your homegrown Sagittarius, wild and mystical with a surprise up her sleeve at every turn.  Her life schooling was one of “hard knocks”.

Her passionate attitudes, her appreciation of success, her can-do style and her need to give 100 percent has made her an astonishing performer. In fact success has pointed the way from an early age. She knew what she wanted and she got it. She is winner of numerous Grammies, including one for that majestic song “The Wind beneath my Wings!” and is a star actress in both comedy and drama, “The Rose”, “The Stepford Wives”. She is also a gay icon, once singing to piano played by guess who? Barry Manilow, with whom she has had a long standing feud, healed in 2003 when they got together to create “The Rosemary Clooney Songbook,” Her life is a comic strip, a kaleidoscope of colour and emotion, of talent and excitement, but what makes her shine? She could be a bit of an Einstein in the brain department for a start. She returned to higher education at Yale University not too long ago.

Certainly she is no fool; with Mercury in Sagittarius she is as bright as the proverbial button. She would have to be, to interpret with such verve and intensity don’t you think? When she first meets you Bette will suss you out, make sure you are of the same pasta due to that expansive Venus in intense Scorpio and then, once you pass the test, ask you to lend her your biro. You will want to go to the ends of the earth with her. In any event you will be drawn like the proverbial “bee to honey”, even if you are aware she reads you so deep she knows what colour your vest is. She is not your classic beauty by a long stretch of the imagination, but she has something special, something magnetic about her that is totally irresistible. With Saturn in Cancer Bette could be split down the middle when it comes to those deeper takes on life. On one side she is the constant optimist, seeing the wonders of existence, the potential of dreams, the expansion of the human soul, on the other the darkness of challenge, the cruelty of fates, the injustice of those hard karmic lessons that Mr Saturn dishes out to the “great and good”. “The mean and nasty” alike.

That Saturnian influence will make her capable of marathon rehearsal stints to make her performance water tight or late night meditations to expand her connection to the infinite. She is extreme, it has to be perfect! but she can get frustrated at not coming up to her high expectations.  Her life path has been “one of the heart”, and she will never give up on that aspect of it. Bette’s success can only be measured by the love she gives and receives.  She is a sensual, caring woman who will want make her partner happy no matter her work commitments but her efforts at domestic bliss do not always work. Her ideals on love clash with reality, and she can hit the ceiling by a something “not quite right” in a blink of an eye. She has been seen with various beaus after her separation from Martin Von Hassleberg. Bette’s Neptune in Libra encourages her to contribute time and money to charity, she wants to give back.

She founded the New York Restoration Project to revitalise run down parks and play grounds. Again, her need to see tangible evidence of action. She is a top class performer, driven by a deep connection to her psyche, and memories of a distant past. She will continue to hold our attention. Way down, in her heart, Venus makes her values solid.  She is a wonderful mother, a great friend. But it is her curiosity that drives her deep and keeps us riveted! This year, 2009, Bette will root out anything that has caused any self-doubt; she is on a mission of expansion and wants to see results. Destiny could hand her some interesting challenges on a silver platter, all of which she will succeed at. Her love life will remain an enigma but she will still push through into new expressions of her artistic skills. We will stand in awe!
