The first thing you notice in Anne Heche’s chart is its 12th house stellium with the Moon in Virgo, so you know there was trouble afoot with this child from in front. A quote from her Wikipedia entry tells the story: “In her book, Call Me Crazy, Anne claimed that her father molested her during her childhood, giving her herpes. Her father later disclosed his homosexuality to his family, before dying of AIDS in 1983. In that same year, Anne's older brother Nate, who was also an actor, was killed in a car accident just a few months before his graduation from high school.”

The key concepts associated with Uranus, Pluto, Jupiter, and Moon in the 12th are all locked in there, enough to drive you crazy, indeed. Further, there’s no water in the chart, so feelings aren’t easy to tap and the emotional cues you might ordinarily take for granted can often escape her. Instead, there’s a manic Mercury-Mars opposition that makes for frenetic talk and verbal outbursts which fortunately, being in Gemini and Sagittarius, aren’t heavy and spiteful but more inclined to lighter weight bluster and bloviation. Venus quincunx Pluto and ruling the Ascendant, however, give her the ambition and motivation to push through even when the world, including herself, is going nuts.

With Sun in Gemini, she’d be expected to play dual roles, which she has done both in acting (her first role in the soaps) and in life (both gay and straight). But the real trouble lies with that Moon (mother, behind the scenes) in the 12th house, so one shouldn’t be surprised that her Christian psychotherapist mom claims she has cured her daughter of homosexuality by prayer, meanwhile denying any abuse at home.

Current events: It would be nice if the skies were more peaceful ahead for this battered beauty, but they may not be. Progressed Moon in Aquarius is moving to square progressed Venus, Neptune, and MC in a big grand cross just as transiting Saturn pops onto that MC in the fall, then moves on to hit the natal Moon in the following year. No rest for the weary, so be wary, as this should bring her back into the news, with yet more confusion and personal ambiguity…
