The Astrology of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey
Description
In episode 137, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield turn their cosmic lens to one of America’s first reality show "it-couples," Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey.
The analysis begins with Jessica's chart, revealing a magnetic and sensuality-forward Scorpio Rising. With Chiron opposing her Ascendant and Uranus also in the 1st House, this placement wasn't always easy, as her physical body and even virginity were intensely scrutinized by the public. We then find a soft, sensitive, and "all-American" Cancer Stellium that speaks to her deep ties to family and a profound need for safety and comfort, while her 9th House Sun and Mercury highlight her religious roots and high intelligence.
Next, we work through Nick’s chart (for a deeper dive, check out Ep. 98 on Nick and Vanessa Lachey), finding a deep and intelligent Sun/Mercury conjunction in Scorpio. His Capricorn Rising points to a persona of following the rules and a strong work ethic, while a telling T-Square between Venus, Saturn, and Pluto reveals that relationships are a complex and challenging area for him.
Together, their mutual Sun/Mercury placements trine each other, creating an incredibly sweet and caring mental connection that provided mutual support and familiarity, while sextile Moons added a layer of domestic bliss and a nurturing atmosphere. However, the synastry also reveals telling tensions: one side has Pluto square the Moon, bringing in jealousy, control, and unchecked resentment, while the other has Uranus square the Sun, introducing chaos, volatility, and little commitment. We know how this relationship ended, but where in their charts do we see it most clearly? Listen in to find out!
