Sex and “The Silly”

Sex and “The Silly”

A couple of years ago, when I abruptly found myself single and had just become a member of Netflix, I rented the entire series “Sex and The City”, and watched it faithfully from beginning to end.

I loved the series!!

There were so many TRUE points about relationships as adult single women in their thirties and forties that I could relate to, and their portrayal of the ups and downs of relationships, the hook-ups, the bad breakups were all just TOO real!

One of the things that I like to do when watching a favorite show is to try to “guesstimate” the astrological influences that drive the well-defined characters.  So please just indulge my silliness here!

In my observations of this popular series, I came up with this analysis.

I believe Samantha to be a Water Sign.  She was just so sensual and free, she probably was a Sun Sign Scorpio with a Venus in Sagittarius and a Rising Sign of Aquarius.  She was sensual to the core, loved her freedom and was a very independent woman capable of intellectualizing any emotional situation.  She eventually finds love in an uncommon pairing, with a much younger man, hence my call of Aquarius rising, just a bit “eccentric” in her choices and tastes.

Miranda, now she’s fire, strong fire.  I think Miranda is an Aries Sun with strong Leonine influences in her chart.  She doesn’t take any nonsense from anyone, is very ambitious, career motivated, very, very independent and she has a hard time accepting the fact that she can be loved and love without benefit of pain.  When she finally accepts love into her life, she becomes a self-actualized woman and finds happiness.

Then we have Charlotte.  Mother Earth.  She starts off as a character who is focused on building and establishing and is actually quite materialistic, and then she evolves into a more open, less judgmental earthly being, finding love in a place that her character, prior to development, would never have looked.  Although I strongly suspect her of being a Sun Virgo, I believe her Moon must be in Taurus.  Charlotte must have some planets in Water Signs also as she does tap into her spirituality as she develops into womanhood.

And Carrie.  Oh Carrie.  Definitely Air.  All Air.  Her need to constantly communicate and express herself lends itself to a suspicion of strong Gemini tendencies, along with her ability to carry on an affair with an ex who is married and then HONESTLY tell her current love about it. She seeks the truth in all things, heavy Aquarius influence, and her need to be fair with everyone is definitely Libran in nature. 

Carries quips and quotes and references to the foolish things women do like “Drunk Dialing” could easily become a manual for what “not to do” when entering a relationship.  She’s so honest about everything that happens to her, and ultimately, she does find her Soul Mate, in, of all people, Big.

I miss that show.

Maybe someday they’ll do a follow up with the characters and call it “Sex and the Senile” and enlighten us as to love during our golden years!!!

Peace!
