The bitter divorce between Paul McCartney and Heather Mills got uglier recently when Mills hurled numerous accusations at her husband of five years on a series of television interviews, after the ex-Beatle was photographed kissing a socialite. Now the embroiled pair is reportedly headed for a custody battle over their 4-year-old daughter. So why did this fairy-tale romance plummet into ruin? Let's take a look at their charts to see.

Gemini connections
Born on June 18, 1942, McCartney has Sun and Mercury in versatile, communicative Gemini. Being the sign of the twins, there is often two sides to Gemini. In McCartney's case, a close Neptune square to his Sun indicates he's secretive and adept at showing only the side of himself he wants to reveal. He is also capable of great self-deception - and the accompanying disillusionment when he feels someone or something has failed him. Perhaps this was the case with his recent marriage to Heather Mills.

Transiting Neptune also played a hand in the downfall of the McCartney-Mills union. When the pair married in 2002, Neptune was opposing McCartney's Moon-Mars-Pluto conjunction. Emotionally, this threesome in Leo gives McCartney tremendous creativity, showmanship and heart. But the Neptune influence says he was wearing rose-colored glasses when he married Mills. Now Neptune is squaring his Venus in Taurus, heightening the disillusionment in his love life (and the susceptibility of getting hooked up with the wrong woman). McCartney may be feeling betrayed by Mills - just as she does by him.

Saturn's negative influence
Born on January 12, 1968, Mills has Sun in practical Capricorn. Interestingly, Mills has Moon in Gemini, so emotionally she has two sides to her nature, like McCartney. And with Pluto squaring her Moon, she can be quite defensive and unpredictable when she feels powerless. As a couple, Mills's Moon on McCartney's Sun in Gemini indicates a strong emotional tie. This male-female connection is what brought them together. Additionally, McCartney has Venus in Taurus. He wants a woman who is sensual, practical and loyal. Well, he found an earth sign in Mills, but an afflicted Saturn between them set the stage for a clash of wills over money, criticism and control.

Another interesting connection: Although Mills lacks McCartney's problematic Neptune, her Mars in Pisces is ruled by Neptune. She has been disillusioned by the men (Mars) in her life. Most importantly, Neptune can make one feel victimized and powerless, so she needs to stand up for herself in a positive way and not succumb to the victim role. Mills is facing that hurtle now. During her recent interviews, she accused McCartney of not protecting her and their daughter. Additionally, she railed at the press for launching a "hate campaign" against her, and revealed she has received death threats.

As for being a gold-digger (McCartney himself has refuted this rumor), Mills's Mars in Pisces reveals her choice of men is not about money. Pisces is highly idealistic and appreciates music. Thus, an ex-rocker would appeal to her (even though she claimed to have never heard the Beatle's music when she first met her future husband). Pisces is also the ultimate sympathizer, so it was his grief over the loss of his first wife, Linda, four years previously, that most likely cemented her love for him. Moreover, her Venus in Sagittarius is another idealistic placement. Her love-style is adventurous, free-spirited and candid. So although her Sun in Capricorn seeks security, her heart rules over her desire for wealth. Their financial battle is, instead, a power struggle. Her refusal to accept the offered settlements from McCartney may be her way of asserting her power over her influential husband.

Compulsive Pluto
Currently, it's not Neptune that's the villain in the McCartney-Mills battle, but Pluto. Pluto is the planet of power, revenge and subterfuge. This dark energy is directly challenging McCartney's Sun-Neptune square. In a battle of wills, Pluto can bring on a compulsion to win at all costs. For McCartney, this is a wake-up call to take responsibility for his part in the breakup of his marriage - without using his power against her. It's also challenging him to let go of anger and resentment. For Mills, Pluto is squaring both her own Pluto and her Uranus. Pluto is aggravating her feelings of helplessness, while the Uranus influence is reawakening a fear of change that stems from her childhood. If she can access her personal power and ability to change in a constructive way, she'll come out of this struggle with greater resourcefulness and inner strength.

As for the outcome of their divorce, cosmic influences favor Mills for the most part. However, the lawyers - acting as representatives of Pluto - may be the only true winners unless the power-plays stop and forgiveness begins - on both sides. For Mills, Jupiter in Capricorn transiting over her Sun next year will give her an extra dose of luck in the legal arena. Also, Saturn, the planet of karmic comeuppance and material power, may give her a helping hand when it transits over her Jupiter in Virgo next year. This can bring a substantial settlement. However, the emotional stress - and danger of losing her daughter - will escalate as both transiting Saturn and Uranus bombard her Moon, so she'll need to stay centered and focus on her role as a mother. For McCartney, Saturn will place a restrictive hand on his natal Uranus, Saturn, Sun and Mercury over the next three years, quite a series of limiting influences. For both Mills and McCartney, accessing the healing power of forgiveness - the positive energy of Neptune - is the only way they can truly resolve their relationship karma.
