Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce: Their Synastry in Two Layers

Venus on Mars: What the Birth Charts Say

"Look at how his Venus falls on her Mars. This is a very nice configuration in synastry, especially in a couple's synastry, because it brings a lot of physical attraction. People say it is one of the best configurations in a synastry."

The numbers behind the sentence: his Venus at 26°37' Scorpio, her Mars at 26°47' Scorpio, ten minutes of arc apart. In María's practice a contact counts inside three degrees; this one is as close to exact as a synastry gets.

The Contacts That Are Not So Easy

She marked them in the same breath. "Then there are others that are not so easy. His Saturn is on her Uranus, his Neptune is very close to her Saturn. Those things are not so easy."

His Saturn at 7°47' Capricorn sits three degrees from her Uranus at 4°39' Capricorn. His Neptune at 9°40' Capricorn is under four degrees from her Saturn at 13°28' Capricorn. Saturn on Uranus is structure meeting the need for freedom; Neptune on Saturn is a haze over what the other person builds. María names them and moves on, because the next layer is where the reading turns.

Jupiter on the Moon: The Draconic Layer

"When we look at their draconic synastry, his draconic chart over her draconic chart, what we see is his draconic Jupiter on her Moon. That caught my attention, because he is a famous athlete, and he brings that Jupiter, that enthusiasm, that love of sport, of everything expansive, also a philosophy of life, onto her Moon."

"On the outer level, the tropical synastry, we see Venus and Mars. On the more intimate level it is the capacity for expansion, the optimism he brings her, and that makes her feel very safe."

His draconic Jupiter at 15°28' Leo, her draconic Moon at 15°32' Leo: four minutes of arc. It is the tightest contact on either wheel, and it only exists in the draconic layer.

The Four Contacts María Named

Positions from the committed charts on this site. Planet-to-planet contacts do not depend on birth time, so Travis's unknown hour changes none of them.

The Wedding Day, on Two Levels

When the two married, María opened the chart of the day and read it against Taylor's charts. "On the day of Taylor Swift's wedding, the Sun was transiting her seventh house, showing an event that was public."

"But what about what was happening on an inner level? On that same day, Venus was transiting her draconic seventh house, showing that on an inner level, on a more intimate level, this was an event linked to feeling loved and feeling cherished."

Same date, same house, two planets. The Sun in the tropical seventh named what the world saw. Venus in the draconic seventh named what the day meant to her.

What the Birth Data Allows

Taylor Swift's chart is drawn for December 13, 1989 at 8:36 AM in Reading, Pennsylvania, a time that circulates without a verified source (Rodden DD), so her houses are read with that caveat. Travis Kelce's birth time is unknown (Rodden X), so his Ascendant and Midheaven stay out of the reading altogether. Everything María quotes above is planet to planet, which the hour does not move. Her draconic Moon is the one placement that depends on the hour, and at 8:36 AM it sits at 15°32' Leo; a few hours either way would shift it by a degree or two, still inside the orb she uses.
