Star Card Couples: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez

March 2003

Ben Affleck 8/15/1972; Jack of clubs (Jack of diamonds/10 of hearts Karma Cards)

"I'm always described as 'cocksure' or 'with a swagger,' and that bears no resemblance to who I feel like inside. I feel haunted and plagued by insecurity, and I feel afraid a lot of the time ... I wish I was more fearless."

Jennifer Lopez 7/24/1970; 4 of clubs (5 of clubs/6 of hearts Karma Cards)

“I thought she'd [her mother] offer me some sympathy. Instead, she said, 'don’t you ever call me crying again! You wanted to be in this business, so you better toughen up!' And I did.”

Jennifer Lopez seems awfully in a hurry to get married. Scarcely two years ago she announced her engagement to dancer Cris Judd, subsequently married him and got divorced. It seems that she goes through a lot of guys in a short period of time. What Ben probably doesn’t know is that she has a Sun/Mars conjunction in her natal chart. This aspect has been affectionately termed the ‘you don’t own me baby’ aspect. The men in her past have all found out that she is very strong willed and used to having her way. She is sort of your classic Latin ‘handful’. And with a 5 of clubs first Karma Card, she is just as restless as any man, in her own way. The main thing in this relationship is that they are both Leos. Leos, the most dramatic and romantically driven sign in the zodiac. Just being a Leo can add to any card the romantic restlessness of a Three or Five. And of course, more so if the first Karma Card is a Five as well. So, we are sure to hear more J. Lo escapades in the future. This would be her third marriage in five years. And, their rumored wedding on Valentine’s day didn’t seem to materialize. Will she and Ben actually get married? Read on.

With Ben, she has met a strong Neptune Card in the Spiritual Spread. There is also a strong Uranus connection in the Life Spread that adds to her excitement over him. But both the 4 of clubs and Jack of clubs are also very fixed cards, each in their own way. J. Lo, with a Moon in Aries and the aforementioned Mars conjunct Sun, is the more outgoing and fiery of the two. But Jack of clubs are known to be very fixed in their concepts in life in general and in love and marriage in particular. Hopefully the Neptune she feels for him will keep her romance alive when she runs into that fixed mind. The one thing that no one usually knows about Jack of clubs until it is too late is how fixed their ideas are about marriage and the role of the husband and wife once married. It doesn’t appear until after marriage but then, things can change dramatically as the Jack of clubs expects his or her mate to be all that their ideas say they should.

And he, being a Jack of clubs man, is not immune to the charms of other women. Though the Jack of clubs is a fairly marriageable card, and though Ben seems pretty under whelming personality-wise for the most part, he is again a Leo. I wonder after seeing Daredevil, one of his recent films with co-star Jennifer Garner, if there wasn’t some ‘chemistry’ between them that might have gone too far. And why didn’t J. Lo show up at the premier of that movie? Jennifer Garner is a 4 of diamonds (4/17/72). That happens to be the direct Neptune Card of the Jack of clubs in the Life Spread, a strong connection. We may never know. But I wonder if Ben can stay with one woman, or long enough to get married. But, between you and me, he is more likely to get married and stay that way than she is.

Do they have marriage cards in their future? I do not see convincing cards in J. Lo’s spreads - nothing that would normally indicate marriage. Ben’s cards look equally unconvincing as far as marriage is concerned. Interestingly, they both have the Ace of spades as their Long Range Card for the year beginning on their next birthdays. In its broadest interpretation, the Ace of spades could mean marriage, if that marriage represented a complete transformation in their lives. But, I ask, has a date been set for this marriage yet? Truth is, an engagement without a date is not an engagement - it’s just talk.
