And, before you close this window with the excuse that “she's a toy”, let's explain something that will make your world crumble: Astrology doesn't just apply to people; global events, launches, company foundations and even animals can have an Astral Map.
Yeah, I could hear your head exploding from here.
Therefore, Barbie has a sign, an ascendant and everything else that she is entitled to. Keep reading and discover what is written in the stars about the most famous doll in the world.
Mattel released the doll, whose “christening” name is Barbara Millicent Roberts, on March 9, 1959. In other words, Barbie is a Pisces! Not only that, but the minidarling's Moon is also in Pisces.
This is, to say the least, curious, since Margot Robbie, who brought the doll to life on the big screen, is also a water sign. She is Cancerian with Moon in Cancer.
Indeed, the success of this film was predestined by the stars.
Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams and fantasy. It starts there. Also, when Barbie was released, we were in New Moon. This phase of the star is known to be ideal for mentalizing your dreams and starting projects to make them come true.
The ruling energy is that all it may happen.
The website NY Post went a little deeper into the Astral Map of the doll and published other positions. Barbie has Venus in Aries, Jupiter in Sagittarius and Uranus in Leo.
Venus is the planet that shows how people deal with love, money, beauty and possessions. Aries is the sign of active, artistic and impulsive people. This is the hallmark of leadership, people who take initiative, who reinvent themselves all the time to stay on top.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion, abundance, luck and lightness. And Sagittarius is the sign of expressive and free people. Those who have these two together are idealistic, optimistic people who want news all the time, who risk everything for personal growth.
Finally, Barbie has Uranus, planet of radical changes, in Leo. This placement talks about people who are brave, creative, and totally unpredictable—and a little dramatic too.
That says a lot about the change the doll has made in the toy market, in standards of womanhood – for better and for worse – and even capitalism itself.
Adding A and B, you can understand why Barbie is such a commercial success, right?
