David Beckham's Marriage

Are Posh and Becks two stars in alignment?

Earthy jock meets fiery Spice Girl and voilà - sparks fly off the charts! There's no doubting the chemistry between soccer superstar David Beckham and his wife of eight years, Victoria "Posh" Adams, formerly of the pop group Spice Girls. As we'll see, their astrological charts reveal their true love story.

At first glance, David's Sun and Mercury in earth-sign Taurus seems too grounded for Victoria's Sun and Mercury in fire-sign Aries. Taurus likes routine, whereas Aries likes adventure. Taurus is practical, whereas Aries is idealistic. I suspect, however, that the multi-talented singer/ songwriter/actress adds some "spice" to her husband's grounded nature, while he provides much of the emotional and financial security for their family, which includes three boys. After all, his new five-year contract with Los Angeles Galaxy is reportedly worth $250 million in salary and endorsements. But apart from their dissimilar earth-fire temperaments, other planetary placements indicate compatibility.

Lunar pull
For Posh and Becks, as the media dubbed them, their meeting of the Moons makes them emotional equals. Depending on their birth times, both their Moons being in Aquarius gives the couple similar needs for independence, an unconventional lifestyle and being best friends. They also have a water-sign bond that creates some steamy sexual chemistry: Her Venus and Jupiter in receptive, watery Pisces blends beautifully with his Mars and Saturn in sensitive, watery Cancer. These water influences also indicate a psychic link between them. Their main challenge in the love arena is a Neptune-Venus square, which increases their sensitivity toward each other but also adds an element of denial - the temptation is to hide negative feelings from each other. However, they might as well fess up, because their psychic connection will pick up on any issues the other is trying to hide.

Never a dull moment
Perhaps the most uplifting tie the couple has is David's Jupiter in Aries near Victoria's Sun. No matter how tough things get between them, Jupiter will lighten the load by giving them a dose of optimism and generosity towards each other. This relationship will certainly never be dull, not with David's Uranus, the planet of change, opposing Victoria's Sun. Although he's the Taurus and prefers routine, his activities will probably dictate their lifestyle and keep the couple from getting too settled, which is probably just fine with his impetuous Aries wife.

Strong karmic ties
The question, of course, is will they stay together? Being continually in the spotlight can challenge any marriage, and the paparazzi won't be letting up on Posh and Beckham anytime soon now that they have relocated to Los Angeles. The main component to relationship longevity is Saturn, the planet of commitment. Fortunately, Victoria's Saturn in Gemini conjuncts David's Venus in Gemini. This Saturn influence indicates a strong karmic tie between them. It also increases the likelihood their relationship will have staying power. The Beckhams may have their moments - Saturn can be a hard taskmaster - but working out their problems together will give their relationship wisdom and depth. Another plus, her Saturn settles down his rather fickle Gemini Venus. Hopefully, the Beckhams will weather the storms of fame and find fulfillment in love through each other.
