After rekindling their love story that began in the early 2000s, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck decided to go their separate ways again. Amid speculation about the reasons behind their split, their birth charts reveal a lot about their astrological compatibility, especially their shared Leo sign and unyielding Moon sign. On August 20, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck after two years of marriage. In addition to making their separation official on the second anniversary of their wedding ceremony in Georgia, the divorce came after a cathartic Full Moon in Aquarius, which directly affected Lopez and Affleck’s birth charts. The full moon phase symbolizes completion, culmination and full circle moments. Additionally, Aquarius — known for its independence and desire for freedom — rules Leo’s (both Lopez and Affleck’s sun sign) seventh house of marriage and commitment, which emphasizes the “end” and “completion” of their relationship. This lunation is not only square Fraudsters the star’s polarizing Scorpio moon — which also rules her 10th house of reputation — but also ignited her fifth house of children, romance and love affairs. Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) was also a key player during this lunation and is currently opposing Lopez’s Moon and transiting her eighth house of intimate communities and shared resources. This could potentially create a conflict between the need for privacy and emotional stability versus the desire to be free from chaotic entanglement. Meanwhile, the actor currently has Saturn — the planet of discipline, structure, fatherhood and its ruler of the seventh house of marriage — close to his Midheaven, which can trigger everything from reputation to a sense of authority and parenting style. Read ahead for an in-depth look at what the stars have to say about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s astrological compatibility, according to an astrologer.
Sun and Mercury signs of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are in Leo
Both stars were born with their sun and Mercury in the regal, creative and passionate sign of Leo. Lopez was born on July 24, 1969 in the Bronx, New York, and Ben Affleck was born on August 15, 1972 in Berkeley, California.
This Fire sign is known for its warmth, charisma and sense of leadership. He’s also naturally drawn to the spotlight, so it’s no surprise that the two actors first met on set Gigli — the film that brought their magnetic personalities together and gave the world a glimpse of their chemistry.
“Ben and I are both Leos — like a male and female lion,” Lopez told PEOPLE exclusively during the launch of her low-calorie alcohol line, DeLola.
In addition to the shared passion and devotion of their sun sign, Mercury in Leo can also suggest a similarity between their thought processes and sense of humor.
However, there is a dark side, as all that Leo energy can often lead to a power struggle. That same fiery passion can be very intense when the ego clashes. After all, Leo’s strong will and proud nature make it difficult to reach a compromise or retreat in disagreements.
Both of their moon signs are in Scorpio
In astrology, the moon symbolizes one’s emotional landscape, innermost feelings and sense of security. Scorpio is a water sign that craves intensity and depth, as it is innately driven by the desire to merge with another mind, body and soul. He is also extremely private and intimate, more often than not avoiding superficiality and surface connections.
It’s no secret that Lopez and Affleck share a deep emotional connection. Despite initially breaking up just before their wedding day, the couple got back together decades later. During her Prime Video documentary The greatest love story never toldthe singer spoke openly about her past with Affleck and everything they’ve been through over the years.
“For all those years it was very difficult because I didn’t just feel like I lost the love of my life,” she says, recalling their breakup in 2004. “I felt like I lost the best friend I ever had and I couldn’t speak [about it] so many years. That was the hardest part.”
Although both share a common desire for privacy and intimacy, Scorpio’s intensity can bring challenges, especially with issues of trust, possessiveness, jealousy, and a tendency to hold grudges.
Jennifer Lopez’s North Node is in line with Ben Affleck’s Heaven
When one’s North Node aligns with the other person’s 10th house — which represents themes of career, legacy and reputation — it can suggest that their relationship has a significant impact on their public life and long-term goals.
In this particular case, JLo’s North Node conjuncts Affleck’s Midheaven in Pisces, indicating that their connection wasn’t just a personal or romantic connection, but the way they influenced each other’s faith and the legacy they leave behind.
This alignment is also karmically significant, potentially bringing both individuals closer to their destinies. However, the intensity of his aspect could also add a considerable amount of strain to their relationship as they dealt with the complexities of public expectations and their own ambitions.
More importantly, JLo’s North Node in Pisces reacts to her Neptune Moon in Scorpio, activating Affleck’s fifth house of creativity, love and self-expression. It is safe to assume that they both considered each other to be muses of sorts, but it goes much deeper.
For example, the mystifying synergy of Neptune in Scorpio (in Affleck’s fifth house of romance, passion and artistic expression) is enough to confirm the inexplicable attraction between JLo and the actor.
JLo even made a behind-the-scenes documentary inspired by her love for Affleck. The beauty, irony and tragedy of this love story intertwine, which goes hand in hand with the influence of JLo’s Neptune-Moon in Scorpio.
“When I first read the script, it seemed like the inciting incident that causes all this pain on the road is our breakup,” Affleck said during an interview with JLo in the Prime Video documentary. “I thought, ‘Wow. Nobody did anything wrong. It was mutual.’ I think in order to move on from that, we need to forgive each other?”
The documentary was launched while the sun was in Pisces—JLo’s North Node—a zodiac sign that embodies the meaning of unconditional love while teaching us how to surrender and trust the ebb and flow of life.
