Pop Astrology: Barbie
Astrology of Barbie As of March 9, 2009, Barbie was considered to officially be fifty years old. Her birthday is based on when she was officially unveiled by her creator, Ruth Handler, at the International Toy Fair in New York. More than just a toy, Barbie is also a favorite American personality. Nobody knows an official time of birth, but she was unveiled sometime between 10:00am and 3:00pm that day, so that means that Barbie has both a sun and a moon in Pisces.

Pisces is the sign of imagination and creativity, so it is not surprising that this toy captured  the attention of so many children Barbie was also the subject of a lot of controversy, which is also typical of having more than a couple of planets in Pisces. Although she was the ideal career woman, she also the diametric opposite – the exploited shallow blonde. On one hand, she was seen by some as a female stereotype whose sexuality was misogynistic and degrading. On the other, she was seen as one of the first independent and strong business women.

Only a toy that was born under the watery sign of Pisces could be sold for decades wearing only a swimsuit and high heels. Also, her Sun and Moon was trine Neptune, which was also in Scorpio. She is a very sexy toy, thanks to her large breasts, long legs, pouty lips and blonde hair. These features are very Scorpionic in nature.




In her chart, Barbie has Mars squaring her Sun. This means that she never really was able to settle down in one career. Furthermore, Barbie’s Mars was in the restless sign of Gemini. She has been  a model and then went on to become a fashion designer, a registered nurse, a female executive, a student, an astronaut, a rock singer, and a surgeon.

Barbie never got married. She also never had children. This is also why some feminists approve of her image and see her as a ground breaking career woman. Interestingly, Mattel never decided to make her a more maternal creature by giving her a baby. This type of life is also typical of a Mars in Gemini individual.

The fact that she is such a free spirit can be attributed to love planet Venus being in the sign of Aries. Furthermore, Mars, an aggressive planet, is in a trine to Uranus. This means that Barbie is likes change.

Venus in Aries is also the mark of a trendsetter. Barbie’s many outfits over the years certainly attest to her great interest in fashion. 

Venus in Aries is also the mark of a feminist. She was marketed by Mattel as an ambitious woman. This is also an aggressive place for Venus to be. Barbie was definitely pitched to us as a careerist and modern woman. She switched boyfriends, pets, and wore every couture outfit ever designed.

In fact, it is interesting to note that Saturn is exalted in its home sign of Capricorn in her chart. This might account for why more than 800 million toys under the Barbie brand have been sold since 1958. It also helps that both her Venus and Mercury are in Aries, as that is a configuration that definitely will give her a mass market appeal.

When I was a little girl, I knew some of my friends that had Barbie dolls. My cousin used to make clothes for them. But I didn't like the Barbie doll. I had what was called Betsy McColl.She was a paperbook doll. You could take her clothes out of a book and change outfits over and over again without getting tired of it. I had more fun with Betsy. I also had over 50 storybook dolls.
