YOU SEEM PRETTY SAD FOR A GIRL SO IN LOVE – Astrological Olivia Rodrigo potential album analysis (1st,2nd and 3rd house) (PART 1)
Hi everyone, I hope you all had a blessed Easter if celebrated – I went away with my family and had some much-needed free time.
I was wondering if any of you guys would be open to me opening a substack with these posts as I realise that the majority of tumblr users have switched over to substack, myself included. Let me know!!
As you can see this will be an album prediction reading – I have never done this before and Olivia has become one of my favourite artists very quickly, I can’t think of a song I don’t like of hers to be honest. She’s such a talent! I decided to look at the album as a natal chart and solar return chart – the natal chart would allow me to see what influenced the album, and the solar return chart allows me to see how the album may be received once out. I felt like GUTS really didn’t get the credit it deserved so let’s see what this album says in the stars, once the album is out, we can make a commentary post – even if I get things wrong, it provides insight into the placements and helps me read it better going forward.
Happy reading – it’s a long one!
You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love – what a title!!! We are so back.
I wanted to clarify that I have made the birth time and date, the expected release date however I have placed the birth location as London - the album was spent written and created from experiences in her time over there as per British Vogue. This personally made the most sense to me. For the solar return chart, with all the press and work she will be doing for the album, I made it Los Angeles. Lets dive in!
You seem different, Liv!
Rising / 1st house – what Liv wants you to see about this album and era
The album has an aquarius rising – suddenly the trippy rock described makes sense. REMEMBER: THE FOCUS IS WHAT THE ALBUM COULD BE ABOUT. An Aquarius rising is also an album that stands apart from what comes before it. The process of creating this album was trying to make something different from GUTS, she seems jaded by the zero Grammys for Guts, it reminds me a lot of Taylor switching from RED to 1989. She wants to create something you are forced to acknowledge. I wonder if that relationship with Louis was more restrictive than she let on. I feel like she may written songs about online vs real life – having the “perfect” relationship vs actually living in it. Songs about the way she/they were perceived and the strain it placed on them. I think she was lonely, even with him or near friends. Aquarius rising has a level of detachment – I think she’ll be “cool” about the breakup / using concepts or witty ways to explain what happened.
Pluto is in the first house as well. This is about reinvention in many ways. This has already happened by abandoning the four letters and the purple. She doesn’t want to be conformed to having to do anything. I have so excited for this era as Pluto is at 5 degrees. This album will have its moment in the sun for sure – there’s so many things that indict this. However, this era will be everywhere. This album is aiming to be performed. I see this as her at every late night event under the sun, tour announced – massive tour, festival run!!! Its giving you and louis better prepare to be SICK of her face. OH I AM GAGGED. This album is really personal about what the industry and certain institutions and mentors may have done to her during the GUTS era. She wont let it happen again, or to other people if she can help it. I see that this may be a talking point in the album, being screwed over in work, didn’t make her a very good partner either.
Aspects
ascendant Square Moon – poor liv, she really was struggling during the creation of this album. She didn’t feel seen. I think the album could involve hidden feelings, or them (fear/depression) leaking through. She is incredibly insecure and it affects everything.
ascendant Trine Uranus – aspects of the album will be really unpredictable, and ahead of its time when i do the reaction of the album we can see whether it goes well or not. I wonder if the storytelling isn’t linear, like you need to piece it together or songs structures are different from the norm.
ascendant Conjunction Pluto – ok miss mamas is/was obsessed with this man. I think we may deal with really dark thoughts, or depth of feelings that may shock us. She is OBSESSED when she is in love.
Pluto Square Moon – there may be a similar song to “hope ur ok”, where she addresses a childhood trauma of either herself or others. Fears regarding loss, betrayal and abandonment made her anxious constantly.
Pluto Opposition Venus – uh oh. Toxic love, attraction that become repulsion, this is obsession and a breakup that changes how you navigate going forward – again the comparison coming to mind is Jake G and Taylor Swift with All Too Well – I wonder if we may get “sour” ballads.
Pluto Sextile Neptune – confronting self-delusion about events, people and relationships were a massive part of this album.
Pluto Opposition DSC – this album is about that damn breakup. I wonder if she was cheated on hey…this reflects a huge falling out and choosing independence instead of the relationship.
Pluto Sextile MC – this album will be remembered as a turning point for her. I see this as a career rebrand – a more womanly acknowledgment perhaps finally being acknowledged for being good instead of “good for her age” well done liv!!
Pluto Trine IC – this album really healed something in her.
Key notes: glittery sound, glitchy? or really dark, guitar riffs, lyrics about seeing herself and others clearly, being analyzed/judged, mutation/metamorphosis (similar to how the wall changed colours, slowly and then all at once)
Emotional obsessive little me
2nd house – what Liv learnt from this album, what she valued while making it and how it may make her (money)
Second house in Pisces, I think that Liv may have gone on a spiritual journey with this one. She focused on her emotional truths. She really wants to be taken seriously as an “artist” – I feel like she absorbed a lot during the creation of this album and explored sounds and music in all its capacities. The focus was also on intuition and feeling connected to this album in way she maybe wasn’t connected to GUTS. I think the delay to the album is more rooted in wanting to find herself and what she truly likes right now than produce an album just because its time. I think she may have had to spend a lot or lost money for the sake of art and she was fine with that.
North node at 3 degrees retrograde, wow. This represents what the album is here to grow toward and bring Liv closer to. This album was about finding herself and reestablishing her self-worth. Separating herself from groups and relationships, verbally acknowledging she deserves better and she is valuable. Pisces is the lost bunny in the forest trying to find its way through the wilderness. That was Liv at the starting point of this album, lost and confused. North Node pushes you towards clarity and stability despite the rush of chaos. Retrograde represents a lesson repeated – she failed to learn this lesson in previous relationships and situations.
Part of Fortune at 23 degrees speaks about what makes the album really succeed. Her intuition leading the creative process, the poetic writing that is on the record and Liv’s emotional honesty. She is recognized as a voice of reason for many girls. Part of fortune also tells me that this album is incredibly lucrative!
Aspects:
North Node Square MC – this just represents that this album changes the perception of her within the public eye.
North Node Square IC – expectations regarding family, childhood themes and perhaps being conditioned to think that she needs to help or save people. Challenging detrimental beliefs that were conditioned in her.
North Node Sextile Moon – this album was truly cathartic for her. She used vulnerability as a weapon.
North Node Square Uranus – this album has been scrapped and rewritten in a thousand ways. She wanted to create something that really challenged her and surprised everyone.
North Node Opposition Vertex – the album was meant to be something else. This breakup shocked them and forced her to relook at things, external circumstances forced this growth and change.
Part of Fortune Square Sun – the albums success hinges on her letting go of choosing what everyone else is doing and doing what she wants to.
Part of Fortune Trine Venus – this I love to see for an artist, the way that Liv writes about love, romance and expression flows naturally and connects well with the audience. I feel like if there are love songs, its going to be emotional and resonate with the wider audience. She will attract listeners with how heartfelt she is.
Part of Fortune Trine Jupiter – she will gain new audiences with this album. I think this album will be well-received. I think people will feel really inspired by how honest she was and the album or promotional moments that will feel like SOUR where it is like “woah, this is a huge moment”
Part of Fortune Square Lilith – okkkk so when I am writing this post, there is currently a mini controversy regarding the album image – I think that Liv may find people nitpicking her. I wouldn’t stress it too much. I am noticing that this could also refer to a very sexual or provocative song that will SHOCK people. I am seated.
Part of Fortune Conjunction Vertex – what a lucky girl lol. The albums success is meant to be. The album is right on time to be recognized as an incredible body of work.
Key notes : ethereal, lose yourself to find yourself again, music as an escape, love as money or dreams as money, longing, yearning, clarity, instability, stability, emotional resonance, optimism through pain, fated, sexual, taboo
Well, I have captors I call friends
3rd house – what sort of lyrics I would expect from Liv, her internal thoughts and communication of the album with her fans!!
As a fellow Livie, lyrics are what get me every time with her. This album has an Aries third house, oh my word. I think she may call people out for what they have done to her, her voice is assertive and her lyrics are punchy. I think the tracks may have energy to them. The album reflects Liv’s mindset, she learns through doing and acting. The album progresses with her lessons. Her songs will have a rock element to it for sure.
Neptune at 4 degrees, I think that lyrics may mix dreams with actions. She will speak openly about fighting for things that are intangible such as dreams or her ambitions. The stories that she tells will be concise and understood clearly despite any ‘flowery’ language used. She will speak honestly regarding what she wants from love or what she thought she needed. I am worried about songs exaggerating metaphors and getting a bit cluttered, I don’t think it’s a bad thing – she just has a lot to say lol.
Saturn at 13 degrees makes the albums voice assertive and structured. I think that the lyrics understand when she is making massive accusations and weathers it well – she has a level of responsibility in these swings. I feel like she really learnt from sour what throwing around descriptive words etc could do – Sabrina carpenter was attacked despite Olivia trying to navigate that. This time, she is swinging knowing what the reaction might be “Olivia always hits another girl” or “Olivia vs Taylor” or “Olivia describes what louis yap yap” – she wants you to think that. She welcomes it soberly. The album has a deliberate sequencing. I think she may have a track about her communication struggles, the responsibility she feels being famous and her personal expression and controlling her impulses.
Chiron at 29 degrees involves the album exploring insecurities and communication struggles. She isn’t hiding her pain anymore, she is teaching and guiding her listeners through her own pain. She may have dealt with verbal abuse or being purposefully misunderstood and self-doubt. At 29 degrees, is a critical degree. This album feels like Olivia releasing past lessons before moving on. I also feel like this will be what gets the most acclaim and notice, she is baring her pain in such a public way.
Aspects
Neptune Trine Venus – I think that the music videos are going to feel beautiful, and dreamy.
Neptune Sextile Uranus – she is mixing genres, I think there may be a surprising collaboration as well.
Neptune Sextile Pluto – very transformative for Liv creatively.
Neptune Trine DSC – her romantic relationship will be explored. I think that there may be collaborations or duets that surprise the audience – I wouldn’t be shocked if she starts doing duets on tours as well.
Neptune Trine MC – I think a signature sound could emerge that feels really timeless or cinematic – she may engage in orchestral music in an interesting way or having live bands be reassociated with her image.
Neptune Sextile IC – i think that there may be an acoustic moment that addresses her feelings of origin or belonging. This could be me yearning for Liv to speak more about being a woman of colour, but I wonder if she will explore how her identity is denied, downplayed or simply misconstrued.
Saturn square mercury – I think it took her a long time to refine what she wanted to say in this album, like I said – she is taking a lot of responsibility with this album and the lyrics.
Saturn trine DSC – I think that the albums creation and environment provided Olivia with a helpful boundary, I see this as producers who may have been stable factors and very professional with her. Encouraging emotional growth and helpful structure in their collaboration.
Saturn trine MC – this album supports her long term artistic goals. I feel like she is incredibly ambitious with this album, coming for the pop princess crown again. She wants to establish herself as a real contender within the industry.
Chiron Conjunction Moon – she literally turns vulnerability into healing into art. I think she truly refound herself and feels steady.
Chiron Square Venus – the wounds around love are littered through this album. I think songs about desire and reality will be explored as well as heartbreak. I feel like she may have been uncomfortable with herself in that relationship.
Chiron Square Jupiter – searching for meaning and lessons regarding mistakes made within trying to heal.
Key notes: blurry boundaries, mastermind, foresight, strategy, wounded, fear around speaking up, empowerment through discovery of self
See you guys in part 2!! Which I am writing as you are reading this!!
