Linda Lovelace

Linda Lovelace, born Linda Susan Boreman, is remembered for a single 1972 film that made her a household name, and for the far braver second act in which she reclaimed her own story. Her Sun shines in Capricorn, the old-soul sign of Saturn, and it sits in the first house, the star's own seat, so she was thrust onto a stage and seen by the whole world. Yet Capricorn's real gift is resilience, the slow, dependable climb back up the ladder after a fall, and hers was a hard climb: she later said her husband had coerced and threatened her into that fame, and in her autobiography Ordeal she laid the truth bare. Capricorn rising doubled the stoic, patient mask of the survivor, the one who endures and waits. Her Moon in Taurus is the luminary at its most exalted and peaceful, an earthy Venusian moon that longs for security and steady ground, and it rests in the fifth house of creativity and self-expression, where peace of mind is bound up with what one makes and loves. In her final years she became a born-again Christian and a spokeswoman against pornography, the Capricorn at last leading from earned conviction. A natal chart describes temperament; it never dictates what others do to a person.
