You have two goddesses of love around your sun.
- So-- - I'm doomed,
doomed as a hopeless romantic!
Hi, I'm Chani Nicholas and this is “Star Power”.
Today my guest is Golda Rosheuvel,
who plays Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton.
- Hi, Golda! - Hi, how are you?
Good. I'm so happy to see you.
Thank you so much for doing this with us.
You're most welcome.
I'm thrilled. Can't wait.
We have a birth time for you,
but we're not exactly sure about it, right?
Well, it's a funny thing.
I always thought that it was about six o'clock
in the morning,
but I kind of got this really worrying feeling
that I did have a conversation with my mother
and she said about three or five o'clock in the afternoon.
So I was like, "Oh, I'm just gonna put it out there
into the ether and see what happens."
You know, it's interesting because that would put you
at a Leo rising, which is all about
performance and entertainment.
And it's also very queenly.
- Interesting. - Also Leo's metal
and color is gold, so,
I was trying to look for the gold in your chart.
Solved. The problem is solved.
But what I love about your chart is that
you have both sun and moon in Aquarius.
- Okay. - Do you know anything
about Aquarius or do you resonate with anything about it?
The only thing I know about Aquarius
is the musical Hair.
Excellent, great starting point.
So Aquarius is known for its ideas and for its intellect.
So when you have both of the lights, the sun and the moon,
in one sign,
it really emphasizes this type of style.
And the style of Aquarius is incredibly intelligent.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Great.
You came into this world
at the end of a whole learning cycle.
So you came in being like, listen,
I've been around the block.
I know the things.
Listen to me, I have really good ideas,
and I know how to do this thing.
-And so oftentimes people-- - Yes.
Does that resonate?
It does.
Yes. I love it.
I know things! I know things!
Said every Aquarius always.
Yeah, yeah.
But it also is interesting
given some of the characters that you play
and are playing right now that Aquarius has,
and can have, a style of being a little bit aloof
or being a little bit separate from.
You know, acting sometimes can be a very lonely place
because of learning lines.
There's nobody else who's gonna learn the lines for you.
So you have to take yourself away and do the work.
And you're dealing with your mind, your memory,
and trying to use your brain as a muscle to be able
to store that information.
You're also born with Venus
and the sun really close together.
And Venus is the goddess of love and the planet of pleasure
and beauty and art and creativity.
And you also have the asteroid goddess, Juno,
which is the goddess of
marriage and she's also like a goddess of love.
So you two goddesses of love around your sun.
- So-- - I'm doomed,
doomed as a hopeless romantic!
Is that true, are you a romantic?
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
And it's interesting, because as an Aquarius, again,
it's less on the romantic side stylistically,
but having Venus and Juno there
makes you someone that is so likable,
and so approachable,
and also someone whose identity is merged
with the planet of art and culture
and being able to create beauty
and put beauty out into the world
and inspire the masses through beauty.
Definitely, you know,
I think I have the best job in the world and between action
and cut is the most magical place for me.
It's where story comes alive.
It's where ideas come alive.
It's where passion and language
and dialogue and conversation and words come alive.
And I've definitely tried desperately to do other things
because, you know, it hasn't been easy,
the journey as an actor.
But yeah, there's nothing else that I could do.
So something really interesting happened
when Bridgerton launched.
I don't know if you remember, back in 2020,
the internet was abuzz
and even some news stations were talking about
something called the Great Conjunction.
- So it was the coming - Yes.
together of Jupiter and Saturn
at very early degrees of Aquarius.
And so having this incredibly significant,
once in a lifetime, Great Conjunction happen
right on your moon,
literal days before Bridgerton came out,
I thought was quite fascinating.
I always describe that moment as the universe,
the stars aligning.
When Bridgerton drops, I always,
that's my description of it.
Everything just went, yeah,
there was definitely something going on.
Well, one of the things that's really wild
about this birthday for you is that the planet Saturn,
the planet of restriction and form
and boundary and structure and discipline
and coming into your own authority and sense of selfhood
is right on your sun.
Which means that whatever's happening in this moment
for you is very much about shaping your identity
in some kind of way.
Yeah. 100%, 100% that is going on.
Have you found that you've said no to things
that you would've normally said yes to
or been just reconfiguring your priorities?
Yeah, definitely.
And, you know, that happened a few years ago as well.
Being frustrated with stuff that was being offered
and wanting to kind of progress a little bit more.
And I kind of had to look at the industry and see,
and kind of work out how the industry saw me.
It's like, there's the process of elimination
also helps you to shape yourself
- and shape your world. - Yeah.
Thank you, sweetheart. Thank you so much.
Fascinating. I really appreciate it.
I can't wait to see what Queen Charlotte gets up to.
Yes, we shall see.
Watch this is space.
