Venus retrograde got here hard and got here early for Ariana Grande.
Inside three days of confirming her split from husband Dalton Gomez, news outlets reported that our Cancer queen has moved on and located love together with her redheaded “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater.
Sources say the couple, who met on the set of the forthcoming Broadway adaptation, have been dating for months.
Each are/were navigating estrangements from their respective spouses (Slater is married to but separated from his highschool sweetheart Lilly Jay with whom he shares a son, born in January 2023) and appear to have found solace and spark in each other.
Grande’s relationship history, (detailed within the banger “Thank You, Next,”) includes former flames and fiancees Graham Phillips, Jai Brooks, Nathan Sykes, Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez, dearly departed Capricorn Mac Miller, Pete “Big D- energy” Davidson, and Mikey Foster. Grande married Dalton, a Leo real estate agent, in a secret ceremony in May 2021.
What do the celebs reveal concerning the latest latest romance between Ari and the stage star best known for taking part in sentient sea dweller Sponge Bob Square Pants? Read on to learn more.
Sun in her fun house
Born June 2, 1992 Slater’s sun, Venus and Mercury fall in Gemini and synastry smart, all fall in Grande’s fifth house of enjoyment, play, creativity and fun.
It is a cozy, heavy petting, mugs of cocoa, flannels and feelings form of connection. In astrology, the sun is the self, Mercury indicates how we commune and Venus how we express love.
With these planets/placements in Grande’s fifth house it is evident Slater is bringing human touch, real curiosity and soul baring conversation as offerings to the hallowed altar of AG.
TBH folks, there isn’t any finer rebound for our girl than a redhead who can serve to indicate her what she was starved of in her marriage.
Take into accout that the fifth home is the land of flings not without end so while these two might burn vivid and hot for each other there’s little evidence to suggest long run sustainability.
D–k daze or made to last?
Grande is within the midst of her Saturn return, a time of seismic change and private evolution that ushers us, with a good shake of upset, into maturity.
Add to it that transit smart, this Venus retrograde in Leo is activating Grande’s eighth house of sex, death and transformation, calling on her to go in and go deep with regards to matters of intimacy and secrecy.
She’s shedding skins, burning boats and radically flipping her own script and Slater could also be just the match and the ink she needs for this phase of phoenix-ing.
Grande’s Saturn in Pisces squares Slater’s Venus in Gemini, and his Saturn in Aquarius squares her Venus in Taurus, a doubling down of a not really easy dynamic.
As Cafe Astrology notes, “This relationship may begin with a powerful feeling of comfort and compatibility, over time, some very difficult dynamics are prone to surface.
The Saturn person, fearing the Venus person’s withdrawal of affection, loyalty, or respect, can easily change into critical or demanding of the Venus person.
In response to Saturn’s critical demeanor, Venus may withhold affection. A vicious circle can quickly occur.”
Since, this aspect is 2 fold on this synastry chart, each this initial compatibility and long run complication are amplified.
Moon struck
Alas, Slater’s birth chart is just not listed online and since he’s recently made his Instagram profile private I can’t reasonably ask him or his mom.
The moon modified signs on the day he was born so our man is either a late degree Gemini moon or an early degree Cancer moon.
Should the truth lean towards the latter there’s a probability of a sun/moon connection/conjunction between Slater and Grande, a natural and helpful yin/yang, masculine/feminine, two halve of the identical whole energy that feels comfortable and supportive to each parties, like a bespoke sports bra.
If our man is a double Gemini, sun and moon, (and bless his bones if he’s) his moon in Gemini would trine Ari’s in Libra, a good, free flowing, drunk in love form of aspect.
Interestingly, Slater has Chiron, the purpose within the birth chart that indicates our deepest wound, in Grande’s seventh house of partnerships.
This dynamic is one in every of epiphanies, triggered transformation, profound patching up and closure of every kind. As 12andus.com explains, “Chiron person (Slater) shows House 7 person (Grande) how relationships and partnerships might be vehicles for healing.
The House 7 person (Grande) may come to see past traumas and wounds in a latest light, putting things into perspective or finding closure on past relationships due to Chiron person’s influence (Slater).
Through this relationship each can come to work through past patterns of isolation or codependency.”
Coming together to combat codependency and start a heart forward, centered self rewrite of the book of affection? A profound and timely gift for each parties.
Right on, write on babies. Here’s to you, together or apart, and ever in service of the following step in your personal evolution.
