Blake Lively’s Natal Propensity for Legal Trouble

In light of Blake Lively’s legal settlement with Justin Baldoni, let’s talk about her own natal propensity for karmic legal lessons…

Taking a look at Blake’s chart, we see that she has a retrograde Jupiter in Aries in the 9th house:

The 9th house rules over legal proceedings and one’s own philosophy of justice. With an Aries Jupiter being retrograde here, this creates a highly individualistic, headstrong, and internalized sense of justice. Jupiter retrograde in the 9th house can speak to an inherent distrust of external religious and legal authorities. This has the potential to manifest as a lack of respect for external legal authorities, and ramming headfirst into legal proceedings without thoughtful consideration or heeding the advice of her lawyers.

In combination with her Sun conjunct her 9th house ruler (Mars) in the first house, her internalized sense of justice is tied to her ego (Sun). So she has the natal propensity for charging headfirst into legal conflicts due to a bruised ego:

She also has her 9th house Jupiter sesquiquadrate her 5th house Saturn:

Now, the 5th house is more than just fun, games, and romance in the traditional sense: it also rules over speculation and gambling. And this aspect suggests that she has lessons to learn (Saturn) in speculation (5th house) regarding court cases (9th house). In other words, she engaged in legal speculation or she took a major gamble in this case! And Saturn is the cold, hard teacher who isn’t fun, but necessary.

Needing to learn lessons around legal speculation is further emphasized by the fact that her 5th house Saturn is in Sagittarius, the natural 9th house ruler and therefore the natural ruler of legal proceedings. 

Additionally, sesquiquadrate aspects can speak to frustrations and disappointments in our lives, and I’m sure the outcome of this case has left her frustrated, and will hopefully serve as a lesson around trying to legally bulldoze others from a bruised ego.

This is all a matter of opinion and for entertainment purposes only. 😅😁
