Rose Schlossberg and Jackie Kennedy- do they really look alike?

I hadn’t heard of Rose Schlossberg until I started seeing on news websites that people were saying she looks a lot like her grandmother, the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

While they are/ were both very stunning women, and Rose has clearly inherited her grandmother stylish dress sense, I can’t really see much of a physical resemblance.

However, being the astro-fiend that I am, I was more interested in seeing whether their charts had any similarities. And it turns out that like Jackie- and her grandfather, John F. Kennedy- Rose has Venus in Gemini.

Venus in Gemini is flirty, light hearted and charming. Both Jack and Jackie had charming and charismatic personalities. Jack also had his Sun in Gemini and he was well-known for being witty, intelligent and well-informed.

So apart from having Venus in the same sign, I didn’t think Rose and Jackie had too much astro in common. However, Rose does have the classic Kennedy astro signature- planets in the 8th House.

Let me explain the significance of this.

In every family, there will be a ‘signature.’

Here are some examples:

  • Everyone in the immediate family has Leo and Virgo in their chart or planets in the 5th and 6th houses. Each person dreams of pursuing some sort of creative career- perhaps mother wanted to be a ballerina and father wanted to be an artist. That’s the Leo side of the family. But eventually, each person gives up on their dreams and works in a job that is stable and reliable, but not what they wanted to do- that’s the Virgo practicality taking over. So everyone in the family is dissapointed at not having followed their passion in life. Except one person in the family has their North Node in Leo. For this person, finding a fulfilling creative career is not only their destiny, it is also part of their ancestral karma. If they achieve it,they then inspire future generations not to give up on their dreams, and they become the catalyst for positive change within the family;-they rewrite the family ‘script’ as it were.

 

  • For three generations, all of the women in the family have been born with a Moon-Venus opposition. At some point in their lives, all of them have been ambivalent about motherhood (the Moon), as opposed to being a ‘lover.’ (Venus) Until a woman in the family- possibly someone with a trine to these two planets, shows that a woman can be a mother and still be a lover, the women of this family will continue to be conflicted regarding this aspect of their lives.

So what is the Kennedy family signature, I hear you ask. It is that nearly all of the main players in the story have or had planets in the 8th house. JFK, Robert, Edward, Caroline-and now Rose. JFK had five! And although Jackie was a Kennedy only through marriage, her Scorpio Ascendant along with Venus and Pluto in the 8th meant that she fitted in with the karmic connection of the rest of the family.

And when we think of the Kennedy clan, it is not their political leanings or the good humanitarian work they have done over the years that we remember. The thing that springs to most people’s minds is the voracious sexual appetites of the men in the family and their very public and tragic deaths.

Sex and death are both 8th house concerns. The karma that has been handed down from generation to generation revolves around these two issues. As other astrologers have pointed out, the Kennedy tragedies were never the result of an actual curse that was put on the family. The curse is a psychological one in which having a special place in the hearts of the American public made previous generations of Kennedys feel that they were invulnerable. That they could cheat on their wives with famous actresses and get away with it. That they could take dangerous risks and nothing would happen to them. It is a kind of hubris, and as we have often seen, they have paid for that hubris with their lives.

Rose is both a part of this fascinating family legacy, but also a casualty of it. With her Neptune, Uranus and Saturn in the 8th, she feels both the burden and the uniqueness of being part of the famous Kennedy clan. I truly hope that she can avoid the self-destructive behaviour that has ‘cursed’ so many of her ancestors, and be the catalyst for change in what seems to be this doomed family.
