The first impression here in this horoscope -dramatically obvious-is the emphasis on the Northern Hemisphere, the Houses below the horizon; all the planets are positioned there, except for Venus in the 12th. This strongly suggests "unfinished business in the early home:" there are family issues -about love, leadership, and modeling-- that challenge development powerfully. This sense of "unfinished business" will permeate the rest of the horoscope analysis as it focuses itself through other measurements. In reality, how the young organism assimilates these difficulties will pattern her behaviors, self-concept, and adult interactions strongly throughout life.


Next, as we begin analysis, we should add on the Sun-Moon blend. With the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Leo we can feel the promise to make something of herself, to structure her identity securely to fulfil her "reigning need" [the Moon in Leo] to be respected, loved, and honored. And there always will be a touch of drama involved! --All of this will emerge out of, through, the early homelife difficulties we anticipate.


The first impression is reinforced, echoed, by the condition of the Ascendant ruler: Mars is squared by Neptune. We can expect on the downside a blurring of identity energies; on the up side, a personal charisma (always with the aspect involvement of Mars and Neptune).


Another part of the first impression must certainly be the overload of Quintile aspects -seven of them! This is an extraordinary emphasis on creativity, the need for creative outlets. -Will this young girl's family see that she has such precocious needs? Will they reinforce them in loving encouragement and support?


Saturn rules the Midheaven, the profession, and is quintile the Moon, quintile Venus (itself quintile the Midheaven), and trine Neptune. We must feel a driving creative thrust here, dramatic, artistic.


Modifications - The life-energy of the Sun in Taurus is squared by Pluto; this suggests so strongly that a blanket will somehow be thrown over this young lady's hand-grenade, so to speak, a stifling, a muffling of the creative energetic thrust. -Part of the defense will be withdrawal, shyness, retreat into an idealization process fed by her creativity, imagination, aesthetics. We see this through the Sun's conjunction with Mercury.


The Mercury is also square to the Moon, always a promise of emphasized communication, especially so here since Mercury rules the communications 3rd. -So we see so much charismatic communication energy banging on the door to get out, being thwarted, withdrawing into a private world (perhaps keyed by Venus in Pisces ruling the 7th placed in the 12th).


The Mercury is also squared by Pluto, promising -eventually, when freed-intense perception, insight, and communication power. AND, with Mercury ruling the 3rd, this Pluto-Sun-Mercury complex can possibly link a sibling situation with the confinement expected through parental interaction in the early home.


We see another major modification: Pluto is also conjunct the Moon, ruler of one arm of the parental axis. This promises an intrusive, difficult relationship with the mother. With the Moon also ruling the 5th and placed in the 5th with Pluto, we focus this early anxiety with the mother (or mother figure) on issues of giving love.


Saturn is the ruler of the other arm of the parental axis, the 10th, and in this horoscope undoubtedly connotes the father. Saturn is in an intense conjunction with Uranus, promising a dramatic conflict in the young lady's life between the old ways of confinement and the eventual new ways of freedom, between the conservative self-protectionism and liberal chance-taking to break out. Saturn's rulership extends to the 11th House and focuses all of this further, from parent, status, profession, to feeling lovable, receiving love easily. There is a problem here with these developmental considerations.


Note the quindecile (1650) between Jupiter and the Midheaven. This Jupiter carries with it its square with the 12th House Venus, involved in three quintiles, including one to the Midheaven. So, we feel Jupiter-Venus Midheaven, a compulsion to exploit professional outlets for communication, for public presentation and socialization (Venus rules the 7th), to establish self-worth and define the freedoms of emergent free identity (Venus rules the 2nd).


This is the horoscope of Barbra Streisand, one of the most celebrated vocal stylists of all time, a brilliant actress and motion picture director, and executive in the entertainment industry. --Barbra Streisand grew up as the unhappy and awkward-looking child of a widowed mother who doted on a prettier half-sister, and a philandering stepfather who taunted Barbra cruelly about her looks.


Concluding Notes: Along with the first impression of developmental tensions, we can also see vividly and quickly stepping stones in terms of time, what times in Barbra's life would focus meaningful conversation about her development.


For example, note at age 6, Solar Arc Mars would come to the fourth cusp, a very powerful time of upset in the home, affecting Barbra deeply (Mars rules the Ascendant). We see this through the degree distance of Mars at 28 Gemini arcing to the fourth cusp (4 Cancer; 6 degrees). Note as well that the arc distance between Pluto and the Moon -the symbolic center of so much of our analysis-is 7 degrees/years, compounding the developmental time in Barbra's early life! And then this is extended, echoed, repeated at age 11, when Neptune by Arc would come to the 7th cusp, opposing the Ascendant, threatening ego wipe-out.


Then, the emergence out of the maelstrom: Jupiter arrives by Arc to a square with the Ascendant at age 19 and Venus follows up at age 21 by conjoining the Ascendant, augmented enormously by the concurrent arrival of arcing Uranus to a conjunction with Jupiter!!! This was breakout time … always promised eventually by natal ties between Saturn and Uranus: when Barbra was 19-22, she was a scene-stealing sensation on Broadway, commanding a staggering $5,000 a week as a club singer, began her first recording contract, and became a leading lady on Broadway! --Barbra Streisand, The girl from Brooklyn "who everyone thought was too homely to go on the stage."


But we still see in Streisand the development difficulties she endured growing up in the problem-filled home. She is shy, private, withdrawn, easily overlooked by the industry she has led for a generation. With all her monumental success, she still states that she is terrified of performing in public! Her mind still hears painful words.
