Ellen Page as Juno
NewsScope; February 11, 2008. Juno, the break-out film of 2007, was filmed on a shoe-string budget of $7.5 million, and to date has brought in over $115 million. Making most every film critics' top-ten list, Juno was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actress for the film's star Ellen Page, who plays a sharp-tongued teen faced with an unplanned pregnancy.
Ellen Page was born with her Pisces Sun (February 21, 1987; Halifax, Nova Scotia; time unknown) trine Pluto, an emotionally-empowering aspect that brings psychological depth to her cinematic roles. Ellen's Moon in fiery, adventurous Sagittarius and her Sun sextile Mars give her a healthy dose of self-confidence. Ellen began acting at age ten, and was on her own by 16.
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus
NewsScope, December 15, 2008. Since the U.S. Senate was founded in 1789, only 35 women have held senate seats, with the very first serving for one day in 1922. Women were first elected in significant numbers in 1993, and when the Senate convenes in 2009, 17 will be women. If Caroline Kennedy replaces Hillary Clinton in New York, that number will remain at 17 and the highest total ever.
Astrologically, the trend is clear when progressing the U.S. horoscope (July 4, 1776; 2:21 pm; Philadelphia, PA). By secondary progression, Mars has recently turned retrograde for the first time

in the nation's history. Over the last month, as transiting Uranus has made a direct challenging aspect to the U.S. progressed Mars, the U.S. Labor Department announced that 1.9 million jobs have been lost since last December.
The vast majority of those jobs belonged to men, who worked in the Mars-related sectors of manufacturing and construction, as well as in financial services. Women have actually gained 12,000 jobs over the last year, since they work mostly in the growing health care and services industries. In the U.S. horoscope, progressed Venus is in the Sixth House of Health and Service, and is placed in assertive Aries

and has no major aspects to other planets in her chart, except for a wide sextile to her Mercury. However, her Juno, the marriage asteroid, is well integrated into her chart. Her Juno is found in the free-spirited sign of Aquarius where it squares aggressive Mars on one side and obsessive Pluto on the other.
This stressed Juno is ideal for creating conflict within committed relationships, as she so admirably demonstrates in the witty comedy Juno. However, due to the seedy, violent potential of the Mars and Pluto aspects, which are also directly linked to her Pisces Sun, Ms. Page has found film roles that evoke the darker side of Juno, such as Hard Candy (2005) and An American Crime, which will be released in October 2008.

Asteroids - The New Feminine Arechetypes
Mars in the U.S. horoscope has recently become weaker while Venus has become stronger, suggesting a theme of men slowly but steadily turning power over to women. Here's a few stories that clarify and illustrate this new trend.
In traditional astrology only two planets are feminine, and the rest are masculine. Nowadays women are no longer confined to being a mother
In July 2009, as progressed Venus opposes progressed Mars, this gender gap should become apparent. The trend of women assuming ever more social, economic, and political power should increase steadily over the next century, since progressed Mars doesn't turn direct until 2086. The fact that 60 percent of college students are women, and the food supply is flooded with endocrine disrupters suggests that the U.S. society is steadily becoming more feminine.

to the square from Pluto. Not until she identifies her special calling can she enlist the inherent power of Pluto, a calling which she now seems to have found in the current political climate.
Mars has an exceptionally dynamic place in her horoscope, where it's exalted in Scorpio. Mars is under tremendous tension by the squares to Uranus and her Moon-Chiron conjunction. This T-square corresponds to the sudden and unexpected loss of male family members that periodically shakes up her life.
However, since Mars is also conjunct her karmic North Node, it represents her inherent need to assert her reform-minded morality in the political process. Since 1983, her progressed Mars has been passing through her twelfth house, which shows how she's devoted her energies to charitable causes and more quiet enterprises. Now, her progressed Mars is arriving on her Ascendant, giving her an energized sense of ambition. In addition, both her progressed Midheaven (career) and transiting Pluto are activating her natal Pluto now, indicating she's very likely to get what she wants.
