Apropos of Nothing... Woody Allen

Recently Woody Allen published a new book, Apropos of Nothing, where he talks about the latter part of his life, work and growth. He also goes into the scandalous affair with Mia Farrow and Soon-Yi.
He had been living with Farrow for 12 years when love broke out between him and the daughter Farrow adopted when she was married to Andre Previn.
There is a 35 year age difference between Allen and Soon-Yi and this had all the markings of a Lolita story tinged with pedophilia.
Allen and Soon-Yi have now been married for 21 years and have two children together, so it doesn't seem to have turned into a real Lolita novel.
I haven't read the book, but apparently from a lot of reader reviews it turns out, not surprisingly maybe, that in reality the devil in the story was actually Farrow, not Allen!
So I thought we could have a look at their charts and knowing what we now know, understand more about the mechanism that brought them together.
Unfortunately there is no birth time for Soon-Yi so hers is a noon chart.
I've posted the synastry between Allen/Soon-Yi and Allen/Farrow as well as their composite charts.
Also interesting a synastry between Farrow/Soon-Yi as mother/daughter.
To begin with the last, which was the first relationship to be created, there is a mutual sun/saturn square! Not promising for mutual growth right off the start.
Each keeping the other down, probably competing between each other.
They share almost the same moon, depending on Soon-Yi's birth time, which fall onto Farrow's south node. Shades of Karma?
We really should do an analysis of the natal charts of each, but there is so much material and so much to see, I'll leave that to you as needed.
In the synastry between Allen and Farrow, unsurprisingly enough we see the Nodes reversed and in wide conjunction, again Karma showing itself here.
And in this case, Farrow's moon is exactly on Allen's NN, showing a very strong spiritual contact between them. They have almost the same mars (which is similar to Prince William and Catherine in their synastry) showing a basic compatibility in drive and ambitions. They also have Saturn exactly trine, so this relationship is very goal-oriented.
What about love? Allen's Sun/mercury/jupiter stellium is trine her Venus, and his Venus squares their mutual mars conjunction. They also have a close sun/moon conjunction, although moon normally symbolises the female and here she is the sun while he is the female. That matches with his general profile as the eternal "emasculated" male who is under the power of the woman! Her pluto trines the stellium, so she has helped him in transformation of his inner core.
Her Uranus opposes that same stellium, and it promises abrupt separations unless there are other stabilising aspects. Her Uranus conjuncts his Chiron and they are on his midheaven, so this is how their story later played out, with him being ostracised and publicly taking the blame for the scandal.
His natal mars is opposed to natal pluto, probably the strongest aspect in his chart, disruptive as it might be, but this also means his pluto opposes her mars, which is in conjunction with his. Pushy and dominating?
If we move on to their composite chart, in fact there is a dominant configuration formed by the moon opposing pluto/Chiron and both square a Saturn/jupiter opposition. Really basic control issues in the relationship. The square figure gives no way out for this energy, it just feeds on itself.
This was a love relationship, there is a tight sun/venus conjunction, but it is exactly square the nodes. So here again, the Karmic reason for the relationship is highlighted.
We know both of their birth times, so here it is interesting to see Neptune of deception exactly on the IC, cusp of the family and home! It is trine mars and Uranus forming a grand trine, so the drama that unfolded was meant to play out, and Fate just cleared the path for it to happen.
So what about Soon-Yi? In the synastry first off we are stuck by his Saturn on his descendent, showing his need for a serious, older partner. And Soon-Yi's North Node is sitting right there! Again, the hand of Karma. To strengthen this contact, her moon (although we don't have the exact position) is on his North Node.
Between them they also have a compatible mars aspect, in this case an almost exact trine. But while the synastry with Farrow showed Allen in a power struggle that involved his Pluto, in this synastry it is Soon-Yi's pluto conjunct her mars, but both trine his mars, so working out easily.
She is 35 years younger than he is, so much for an older partner! However, her Saturn is in close trine with her mars/pluto/mercury stellium (mercury out of sign), that gives her a lot of stability and grounded energy.
Her saturn also squares his moon, making her aloofness and severity towards him seem like being with an older partner, or in this case a "cooler and sever" partner.
In their composite chart Neptune/mercury/venus/sun/jupiter/mars are all lined up, moon on North node (so many recurring Nodes aspects!) squaring the stellium and Chiron opposing the sun.
Interestingly the easy mars/pluto aspect in the synastry translates in the relationship as a square, so there is underlying tension between them. Mars trines Uranus, presenting a way to ease that tension.
All together, very revealing charts that illuminate the intertwined relationships.
We can never be sure why we cross paths with someone else, and in the case of these three personalities they really had very little choice in the matter, it would seem.
So much to go into here, looking forward to more insight from others!
Hope you enjoy it.

Here is the final chart which couldn't be uploaded on the original posting.
Composite of Allen/Soon-Yi.

Also, an interesting video on the marriage of Allen and Soon-Yi.

Really?

You are 'using' astrology to demonize Mia Farrow & NOT the man who 'groomed & sexually assaulted' his 14 yr old step-daughter.:sick::sick::sick:

Soon-Yi was an innocent child with a severe learning disability when the pedophile Woody Allen took advantage of her. First, taking nude photos of her & then 'completing the act' by molesting her. She was a victim too but he married her & gave her the wealthy lifestyle she always wanted. But this 'LOLIta' nonsense is nothing more than making pedophilia acceptable.

Woody Allen has also been accused of molesting his own 2 yr old biological daughter that he had with Farrow. Mia took away custody so he could not continue to abuse his own daughter. I believe Dylan (her name) has written a book but it's all so sick & sordid that I never read it.

His own biological son, Ronan Farrow (Dylan's sister), disowned his father, Allen, & called him a sick, perverted pedo. He published stories from women abused by Harvey Weinstein. I remember his chart at the time, beautiful Truth-Teller (Dec 19/87, NY).
Both he & Dylan have had NO contact with their perverted father & that should tell you more than the lies spewed out by the devil Allen and his now demonic partner-in-crime, Soon Yi.



The journalist Ronan Farrow, the author of the best-selling book “Catch and Kill,” said on Tuesday that he would cut ties with his publisher, after it announced that one of its divisions was publishing Woody Allen’s autobiography next month.

Mr. Farrow is Mr. Allen’s son with the actress Mia Farrow, and his adopted sister, Dylan Farrow, has long accused Mr. Allen of molesting her when she was a child, allegations he has denied.

In an email exchange, obtained by The New York Times, Mr. Farrow, whose reporting on accusations of sexual assault against Harvey Weinstein and other powerful men helped touch off the #MeToo movement, harshly criticized Hachette, calling its decision to publish Mr. Allen’s memoir a betrayal.

I just found a good article, apparently, Dylan was 7 yrs when Woody Allen molested her. She's got a Sun/Mars Cancer tight conjunction & she will fight for herself. Cancers never forget & rarely forgive. Good for her for keeping up with the fight against her sick, perverted abuser & not backing down. Cardinals are strong.

Woody Allen’s Pluto-Uranus Transit
Saturday February 8th 2014

Chart data is from astrodatabank.
I can’t tell if Woody Allen is a child molester from looking at his astrological chart. No one can.

But I can tell you that transiting Pluto-Venus is smack-dab on his North Node in Capricorn in the fifth house of children. The North Node is your point of destiny, where you are going in life, what you are for. Transits to it show a change in life direction. His North Node is also in the entertainment house, of course.

It’s squared by transiting Uranus (surprise!) in the 8th house of sex and debt. The eighth is the house of things that come back to haunt you.

Here’s what’s happened.

Twenty-one years ago, Allen was accused of molesting his seven-year-old adoptive daughter Dylan in the midst of a nasty split up from his partner of 12 years, the actress Mia Farrow. At the time, Uranus, the planet of disruption, was on Allen’s North Node.

The case never came to court. Allen married Mia Farrow’s other teenage daughter and somehow the accusation of child-molesting got lost in the rest of the scandal.

Two weeks ago, Dylan wrote an open letter published in the New York Times, restating her accusations against Allen. She is now 28 years old, in the midst of her Saturn Return. In astrological terms she is coming into her own power as an adult.

Today, Allen published a rebuttal in the same paper.

The clearest statement of the situation at the time is the judge’s decision in the custody battle that took place in 1992. To read it, click here. It’s a remarkable example of good legal writing. It’s clear Judge Wilks did not think Allen was a fit parent and that he felt Farrow was a good mother. The judge also decided that Dylan needed to be protected from Allen. The reason Dylan’s case was not brought to court was because the state prosecutor did not want to put a seven-year-old through a lengthy court case. For other victims of abuse this is a familiar story.

If you get HBO you may be interested to watch the documentary, Allen v. Farrow. It offers an additional view of the long, controversial matter, with actual phone conversations between Allen and Farrow and interviews with Allen and Farrow's adopted and natural children as well as other people involved.

"Really?

Not at all.
I've posted the charts with an eye to analysing the energies between the three main protagonists and their interaction.
I'm not taking a stand on the matter, just opening the discussion.
Thanks for your second posting, that gives some astrological insight.

Can pedophelia be seen in a chart? Or other sexual perversions? Or homosexuality?


"with a severe learning disability"
This is the first mention I've seen of this, where did you find it?

Then there is the other side to the story....

So much material coming out now, probably as a result of the publication of Allen's new book.
