Meryl Streep is an actor’s actor, a favorite not just of audiences but of everyone she works with. That’s because she’s got a bucket-pattern chart with cold but extremely inclusive Aquarian Jupiter (expansiveness, the actor’s planet) as a handle right on the seventh house cusps (partnerships), so she not only looks good herself, she makes whomever she’s playing against look even better. There isn’t a person in the business that isn’t eager and honored to work with her, for the first time or on a repeat.

She’s not got a prettified feeling about her — quite the opposite, with a harsh and totally exact conjunction of shocking Uranus with her zero-degree Cancer Sun. She really gets on your nerves and doesn’t grow smoother with wear, either. There’s always that raw edge, staring you in the face. On top of that, she’s got Pluto in Leo rising, which puts extra-compelling power in her presence, so she tends to dominate the scene, even if she’s not playing the lead. You know in a head-to-head confrontation with this woman, you’d lose, and yet she ultimately has the opposite effect of making everyone around her blossom. Her Taurus Moon as leading edge of the bucket also makes her indefatigable, and she’s a trooper in every sense of the word. Finally, on the word side, she’s got Gemini Mercury conjunct Mars so she’s never at a loss for them, always facile, articulate and quick to strike with just the right interpretation for the moment. Taken all together, it’s no wonder she’s won every award on the block several times over. She holds the record for both Oscars and Golden Globe awards.

Current events: With some heavy Saturn transits of late, she’s probably catching her breath, but they’re just about passed and with her progressed Moon bearing down on her Sun and Uranus, expect another explosion of creativity to come blowing out of her in about six months. Even under the most severe of circumstances, this is one professional who will never let you down and always has another trick up her sleeve.
