French Presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron and his wife

[Deleted]

Ugh I'm so upset. I made such an elaborate post for this and accidentally exited the tab   Anyways!! 

So I was analyzing Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron's transits the other day out of curiosity - this election is getting much international attention due to the fact many people say it's similar to the American election of 2016, and Le Pen is a very "interesting" right-wing candidate who is an offensive media darling on the rise for her display of conservative ideas. 

As I was sifting through Macron's Wikipedia page, I was caught completely off guard by some paragraphs about his personal life that made me do a double take. 

Macron is married to Brigitte Trogneux, 24 years his senior, who was his teacher in La Providence High School in Amiens.

They first met when he was a 15-year-old student in her class, and she was 39, but were officially a couple only after he turned 18. 

His parents initially attempted to separate the couple by sending him away to Paris to finish the final year of his schooling, as they felt his youth made this relationship inappropriate, but the couple stayed together after he graduated, and were eventually married in 2007. 

They live with Trogneux's three children from her previous marriage.

Interesting and a little scandalous. Certainly made me clutch my pearls when I read that. Apparently the French find no issue with this, but the American press just discovered this little tidbit about the French Presidential hopeful and is running with it. Here's an example of such. It is funny that Americans would take issue with this partnership given that (as the article also mentions) Donald Trump is 24 years older than his wife, Melania. 


But, what would be this post without charts? Provided via an unmentionable from an unmentionable forum. 
1.) Synastry: 


2.) Composite 




Thoughts:

• It's fascinating that they're both charismatic Sun/Venus/Juno people (these aspects are trine at that!) It seems the stereotypical "flightiness" of Sagittarius and Aries are tempered with Juno thrown into the mix, meaning that marriage/partnership would always be at the nucleus of their identity.
  Her giant Aries stellium must lend her a perpetual youth (she looks very good for her age/she probably vibes timelessness) 
• The tight Sun/Juno/Karma in their composite sort of speaks for itself, no? When he was forced to leave his Jesuit preparatory school, he vowed he would come back and marry her.
• The synastric yod to his Moon definitely speaks towards his draw to her - an overture of fatedness 
• Their nodes are trine/Neptunes are sextile 
• Given her age this is likely to be a childless marriage, yet his Moon conjunct her Mars (in Taurus!) is such a fertile aspect.

Wow, thank you athena ! Such an informative post, and I love the chart analysis.

Both are Snakes (masters of subtlety) but with the composite sun-Juno on the MC, it seems they were destined to go public as a married couple? It's extraordinary.

Composite Vertex-Neptune conjunction, composite NN on his Neptune, I guess? And he has Venus conjunct Neptune trine her Aries stellium.

They do look happy.

I remember the French press seemed to take a more favorable view of Mary Kay Letourneau as well.

The Chinese sign mention is positively fascinating! What are the odds they would have two charts that sync so well with one another's *and* the same Chinese sign with this age disparity?? Definitely something fated at work.

If their birth times are correct, I think Pluto/Uranus/Ceres in the 4th house is perfect for this unconventional pair. Life changing transformations through merging the families (Pluto), a lack of care for social conventions (Uranus, a planet also prominent in age-gap relationships), and mother-child nurturing (Ceres) are all present in the house of the home (H4) is so apt. Saturn in the 5th could be symbolic of this being a "barren" marriage, or just the fact that everyone seems to be taking on roles of equal responsibility (her children were in the same school as he was at the same time and seem to value being respected as equals by him - now their step-dad - as per the article).

I didn't know that about MKL but she definitely crossed my mind as I was mulling this story over. Surprisingly that couple is still together too! That's definitely another synastry post in the making right there..

Excellent analysis as usual @ athena. 👍 Thank you.

How strange that his schoolmates became his stepchildren. Ah, life, so funny sometimes.

You're too kind Faith <3 I aspire to have the natural grasp of astrology that you do!

I was reading up on MKL's Wiki after reading your post and apparently she and Vili (her student-turned-lover) originally released a tell-all book in French! Long before they became a "dull", settled married couple. France is such an... open minded (?) country lol. I should take a gander at its natal chart and see where its Uranus/Mercury falls
