Standouts in the horoscope of Bo Derek

As usual we will look at the standouts in her natal chart.

After all, that's what will bring us to the essence and disposition of the person.

Not to overwhelm you with information, we will only assess the horoscope of Bo Derek by looking at the factors that only have some meaning for her love life.

There is quite a lot to tell about her natal chart though, but we'll still try to keep it to the essence.

In her horoscope we can find the following standouts:

• Most planets and bodies are posited in the southern and western hemispheres of the horoscope wheel with a focus on the 3rd Quadrant (houses 7, 8 and 9)
• Most planets and bodies are posited in water signs
• There is an 8th house stellium
• Pluto is at 0° Virgo, a so-called "critical degree"
  
• The most exact midpoints in the 45° dial/list are: MO = UR/PL; SO = KN = MO/VE; ME = NE/MC; SA = NE/AS; NE = MO/KN = SO/MO; JU = VE/PL = VE/KN
  
• There is one very powerful connection in her natal chart: Mercury/Pluto
• There is a Grand Trine in fire signs between the Ascendant, Uranus, Mercury and Saturn 
  
• The Sun is conjunct the Lunar North Node
  
• The Moon is in a stressful position, in front of the 4th house cusp (IC)
  

An emphasis on the 3rd Quadrant implies a life influenced and even steered or directed by others, encounters, someone else, a partner or an audience.

It's the Quadrant that is the least interested in developing oneself and rather gets caught up by nurturing others or someone else.

Often, there is public attention, some interaction or involvement with others, an audience.

Most planets posited in water signs indicate that she absorbs a lot of information and experiences.

The water element is also a very private one, not seeking public recognition.

This is confirmed by the ruler of the Ascendant intercepted in the 12th house in Pisces.

The downside of a predominant water element is becoming (co-)dependent, seeking a shelter and security of attachment.

Her attitude might suffocate others.

Bo might be very sensitive and may easily feel inadequate and anxious.

Her 8th house stellium (with the Sun, Lunar North Node, Mercury and Saturn) suggests (social) isolation, strength, following principles and issues about being loyal to someone or to some group.

There is some concern with security.

Pluto at a so-called "critical degree" (0° Virgo) points to the following:

• a lack of self-worth and trying to gain approval by being submissive, compliant or servile
• sticking to the minutest details and being very analytical

The most exact midpoints in the 45° dial/list denote the following:

• MO = UR/PL: the strong conviction, to leave the home environment soon, the shock experience(s), the abrupt changes, the adventurous spirit
• SO = KN = MO/VE: to act, the artistic appeal, to long for tenderness, to be affectionate
• ME = NE/MC: the imagination, following the subconscious mind, the disappointments
• SA = NE/AS: to feel out of a group or environment, to not feel well in the environment, to receive criticism, the negative environment
• NE = MO/KN = SO/MO: to feel uncertain, the inner dissatisfaction, the health issues, the deception in others
• JU = VE/PL = VE/KN: the huge creative and artistic assets, to be happy in love, to love entertainment
  

In her natal chart, we find the following powerful and predominant connection:

1. Mercury/Pluto because Mercury is in the 8th house (mundane ruled by Pluto), Pluto is Virgo (ruled by Mercury), Mercury is square and contra-parallel Pluto, the ruler of the 3rd house (mundane ruled by Mercury) is in the 8th house (mundane ruled by Pluto), the ruler of the 6th house (mundane ruled by Mercury) is in the 8th house (mundane ruled by Pluto) and the ruler of the 8th house (mundane ruled by Pluto) is in the 6th house (mundane ruled by Mercury).
   
   This is the connection of feeling guilty after being in the spotlight and/or because of receiving some privileges others don't have.
   
   There is annoyance, vexation and some obsessive thoughts (lots of pondering).
   
   Imagination is very well developed and needs a creative outlet.

The Grand Trine in fire signs, wants to be busy in a very self-expressive and spontaneous way.

Bo might love some adventure, action and excitement.

When the Sun is exactly conjunct the Lunar North Node our research has found that in a female chart, chances are high of being married only once, often ending in widowhood as well.

Though Bo is married twice now, it indicates a lasting love bond anyway.

This aspect is often found in charts of child performers also.

The Moon in a stressful position (in front of the 4th house cusp) is indicative of rejection, defeats and Waterloo-experiences between the ages of 16-18 (the Moon is conjunct the IC).

There is such a huge need and hunger for a family and a home to feel secure.

The domestic area is shielded off from the outer world, is forbidden terrain for others and she might not stand interference from others.

The love life of Bo Derek

She met John Derek in the early 1970s when she was 15 and he was 45.

Reportedly, it was hate at first sight, not love.

In 1973 John took her to Mykonos (Mikonos), a Greek isle, for the film "And Once Upon A Time", together with his wife American actress Linda Evans.

During filming, John Derek and Bo began an affair which prompted Linda Evans to quit and divorce John.

To escape charges for statutory rape, John and Bo moved to Munich, Germany, then to Tijuana, Mexico until Bo's 18th birthday.

They married June 10, 1976.

It was John's 4th marriage.

John died on May 22, 1998 during emergency heart surgery in the hospital in Santa Maria, California with Bo at his side.

She currently lives with actor John Corbett since 2002.

They married in a private ceremony in December 2020 "around Christmastime."
