Life in plastic is incredible, thanks partially to the hefty check Margot Robbie received for her role in Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.”
The Australian bombshell made $12.5 million for the Mattel film, based on a report from Variety, making her one among the highest-paid actresses of 2022.
In “Barbie as The Island Princess,” the OG tippy toes, tits up blonde imparts some unexpected poetry, “Life is a sea I’m sailing, riding the winds of time. Looking to search out a course that’s mine. Striving to search out direction. Starting to know, every wave’s an element of the plan.”
Robbie is a moon child that’s well versed in course setting, wind riding and sailing high on the waves of change. A woman who grew up constructing forts in her back yard and cut her teeth making Subway sandwiches in Melbourne, the two-time Academy Award-nominated actor made her star turn as Naomi Lapaglia, the mistress turned MILF of the century in Martin Scorsese “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
Margot has since lent her prodigious talents to roles as far ranging as an unhinged comic book character, a vengeful figure skater, a silent film star, Sharon Tate and Queen Elizabeth I.
This summer, Robbie takes to the screen, drenched in pink and filled with moxie to play the titular role of “Barbie.” She stars opposite Ryan Gosling as Ken in Gerwig’s live motion imagining of the life, times and sudden conscious awakening of the enduring doll. How did the divine design of Robbie’s birth chart prepare her for the role of a lifetime?
Why doesn’t Margot vibe along with her sun sign?
Born July 2, 1990 at 7:45 AM down under time Robbie is a quintuple Cancer with a Scorpio moon and a heavy dose of planets in grind or die, in case you construct it they are going to pay, Capricorn. Robbie has some telling thoughts on her birth chart.
She revealed to “W,” magazine, “I’m a Cancer. But I don’t really discover as a Cancer…Every thing I’ve ever heard about Cancers doesn’t sound like me: that they’re very sensitive, wear their emotions on their sleeve, and are real homebodies. I hate being at home, I’m not particularly sensitive, and I don’t really wear my emotions on my sleeve.”
How is it that an individual with a FIVE PLACEMENT STELLIUM IN CANCER, including her ascendant, not feel like a Cancer? Because my dudes all of that cardinal water is pooling in Robbie’s twelfth house of shadows, hidden matters, self-undoing and the unconscious mind and planets present on this house should not obvious to, or celebrated by the person in query.
The twelfth home is the domain of secrets, shame and other such things we’re reluctant to indicate. Here, all the pieces is shrouded, dimmed or buried. Thus, despite the heavy concentration of Cancer in her chart, the Cancer archetype and its stereotypes of a brilliant sensitive, bleeding heart homebody don’t resonate with Robbie.
Counter to Cancer
When it comes to presentation, Cancer is ruled by the moon and true to her rising sign, Robbie’s visage is luminous AF, looking as she does like an abalone bowl of holy water mixed with the resplendent dust of Cinderella’s pulverized lost slipper.
Many astrologers hold fast to the speculation that as we age, we raise ourselves (or stand up) into our respective rising signs. On this sense, Robbie may begin to discover along with her Cancer placements if and when she decides to turn out to be a mother.
Interestingly, Robbie’s husband is a Capricorn sun and while the 2 have yet so as to add children to their family, the ‘construct it’ influence of their shared cardinal earth energy finds a house in LuckyChap Entertainment, the couple’s join production company which along with producing “Barbie,” has brought “I, Tonya,” and “Promising Young Woman,” to the screen in addition to the Hulu series “Dollface” and the Netflix miniseries “Maid” to streaming services.
Restriction and reward
True to her ascendant Robbie’s visage is luminous AF, looking as she does like an abalone bowl filled with holy water mixed with the resplendent dust of Cinderella’s pulverized lost slipper.
One other feature of Robbie’s birth chart that supports her struggle to discover along with her Cancer placements is the presence of father jeans planet Saturn directly opposing her rising sign.
Saturn is referred to as a malefic planet and in Capricorn, the sign of its rulership, it’s super charged and downright overpowering. Saturn constricts and limits what it touches and within the case of Robbie’s ascendant, this equates to a suppression of the stereotypical expression of the Cancer archetype.
This might be why Robbie resists sitting still and staying home and is by her own admission, a distracted, disastrous cook. Robbie’s ascendant can also be weakened by the square aspect it forms to Mars, planet of drive and desire, in its home team sign of Aries.
This planetary placement is legitimately setting setting a match to the moody waters of Cancer and is probably going accountable for Robbie’s habit of setting her kitchen and her holiday hams on fire.
Scorpio at heart
Robbie’s moon is in the key holding, power hoarding sign of Scorpio and as a Cancer rising the moon is her chart ruler. Scorpio is without delay deeply emotional and fanatically private, they absolutely don’t wear their emotions on their sleeves, preferring as an alternative to hate whisper them right into a tattered spider’s web and bury them in a root cellar.
There’s an actual obsessive/possessive element to the Scorpio archetype, particularly for moon placements and it seems Robbie has channeled these twin tendencies in her approach to securing and performing roles, as she told “Babylon” director Damien Chazelle, “I actually have to play this character—she’s mine.”
Further, Robbie expressed something like grief, the provenance of Plutonian Scorpio, when she described the strategy of letting go of that role,” “I’m sad ending every job. I all the time get attached to everyone within the film, and I sometimes get attached to certain characters.I feel I poured a lot of myself and my body and all the pieces into this character that it sort of left me in pieces at the top of it. I didn’t want it to finish.”

Born for Barbie
Scorpio is without delay deeply emotional and fanatically private, they absolutely don’t wear their emotions on their sleeves, preferring as an alternative to hate whisper them right into a tattered spider’s web and bury them in a root cellar.
When it comes to sun/moon combos Cancer is about root systems and Scorpio is about shedding skin, burning boats and breaking ground to make way for what’s yet to be; nostalgia and newness in an underwater tea party conversation. We see these two energies at work in Robbie’s turn as Barbie, an iconoclastic reimagining of the doll who’s loved and loathed in equal measure.
Robbie’s Barbie stays true to a few of her traditions; mainly a banging wardrobe and a perennial effervescence while moving right into a a more self-aware modern, Feminist modality. To be fair, there was a little bit of female subversion from the midcentury jump; in a daring, beautiful inversion of the creation myth, Barbie got here first and out of demand, in second place and in her plastic image, got here Ken.
Robbie’s Barbie role is further supported by her Mars in Aries/Venus in Gemini. Mars is our planet of motion and Venus the ruler of attraction, attachment and aesthetics. Mars in Aries lives for a challenge and in cahoots with a Scorpio moon is completely relentless in its pursuit of desire. Venus in Gemini craves constant intrigue and changing scenery. Apropos of this, Robbie told “Vogue,” “All I need to do is continue to exist a train,” an ideal scenario for a Mars/Venus combo that’s allergic to boredom and seeks all the time to be intellectually stimulated, physically on the move and ever on the make.
Other casual indicators of Robbie Venus/Mars tango include our girl removing the brakes from her recreational roller skates and going off script to slap Leonardo DiCaprio during her “Wolf of Wall Street” audition. That’s air helping fire burn brilliant my babies, the short instincts of Gemini and the fearlessness of Aries mixed with the psychic sway of Scorpio and the under the moody, moon drop shine of Cancer.
