Singer, actress and most followed Instagram celebrity, Selena Gomez, has announced she has had a kidney transplant donated by her friend actress Francia Raisa. She suffers from lupus, an auto-immune disease, and has had career breaks to cope with depression and anxiety.
Born 22 July 1992 7.129am Grand Prairie, Texas (astrotheme), she was brought up poor by a single actress mother who was 16 when she was born, and grandparents, and started acting at 10.
She has a final degree Cancer Sun in the 12th; with Venus Mercury conjunct her Leo Ascendant in the 1st – so will bounce between seclusion and sociable charm. Her ambitiously determined 10th house Mars in Taurus is sextile her Sun and opposition a 4th house Pluto, so not an easy childhood. Saturn in Aquarius is in her 7th square her Pluto, so close relationships will always take an effort. Her 9th house widely-travelled Aries Moon is square Uranus Neptune in Capricorn in her a 6th house of health, so she will be emotionally highly-strung as well as having a delicate constitution.
This year tr Pluto has been conjunct her 6th house Neptune and Uranus/Neptune midpoint with tr Uranus conjunct her Moon – so a good deal to cope with physically. Tr Neptune is also opposing her Jupiter in 2017/18 which is not high energy either, perhaps also accompanying financial uncertainties. Luckily tr Jupiter is moving into her 4th house for a year ahead from this October, giving her a chance to recuperate at home. Though she will have a sharp change of direction from spring 2018 onwards with tr Uranus conjunct her MC.
Francia Raisa, 26 July 1988, Los Angeles, is a Sun Leo which is conjunct Selena’s Sun, Ascendant and Venus; with her Jupiter in Gemini conjunct Selena’s Mars. Though there are less crossovers than you might expect from such a selfless act. The relationship chart has a friendly composite Venus Jupiter opposition Saturn which is fairly up and down. The only thing that really connects (if the birth dates are accurate) is Francia’s Pisces North Node opposition Selena’s Jupiter; and Selena’s Capricorn North Node conjunct Francia’s Neptune Moon, Saturn Uranus. So there are ‘destiny’ contacts though not as much as I might have expected.
Neptune in the 6th would certainly fit a a systematic, hard-to-treat disease like lupus. It’s conjunction with Uranus would add sudden bouts of sickness.
She should be proud that she’s done the best she possibly could. May she continue to feel better, and have many years of good health.
