Sandra Dee & Bobby Darin

[Jim Eshelman]

Another for study:

Bobby Darin, May 14, 1936, 5:28 AM EDT, New York, NY
Sandra Dee, Apr 23, 1942, 5:35 AM EWT, Bayonne, NJ

Perhaps most stunning is her Sun exactly on his EP (not far from his Uranus) and her Moon on his IC. Other complexities of the synastry reflect the complexities of their relationship, most of them not pleasant. (Nor does one usually expect a partnership of two Arietians to flourish peaceably.)

I can only speak as a Lunar rather than Solar Arietian, but we often don't want relationships to flourish peacefully, especially when we are young.

Bobby was so quickly, brightly taken with Sandra Dee when they met - was there something in the "progress to each other's birth' technique that singled her out to him so vividly? Progressing his chart to her birth, the quotidian angles immediately show a powerful, intense, compelling connection:

0°50' Ari - SNQ Asc
1°34' Can - r Pluto

We almost get the best aspect that could be expected, but it falls just outside partile: His natal Sun was 29°32' Aries and his Moon progressed at her birth to 28°03' Aries. But his natal Asc 23°56' Aries was conjoined by his progressed Venus 24°42' Aries. She represented a moment in time that, for him, was absorbing love. - He also had a progressed Mercury-Neptune square 0°01' (!) which probably fit their confusing relationship (but I can't say exactly how that probably was).



Regressing Sandra Dee's chart to Bobby Darin's birth, his Venus is within 1° of SNQ Asc. (Also SNQ MC square p Mercury.)

Her progressed Moon at his birth exactly conjoined his Asc (i.e., "transiting Asc"). This is the sort of "eye-catching, singling out" contact I'm starting to associate with this technique.
