The Strange Ways Astrology Works: Wuthering Heights

The Strange (or Perhaps Not So Strange) Ways Astrology Works

Yesterday I read that Jacob Elordi, the actor starring in the new cinematic adaptation of Wuthering Heights as the iconic anti-hero Heathcliff, stated in an interview that he developed an obsessive relationship with his co-star, Margot Robbie.

An astrologer reading such a statement would find it hard not to suspect that something deeply Plutonian is being activated between the two.

I was almost certain that the pair would be linked through Venus–Pluto aspects, and indeed they are: Margot’s Venus is in opposition to Jacob’s Pluto. An aspect that rarely goes unnoticed: magnetism, obsession, passion, emotional intensity that is difficult to contain. Not coincidentally, their erotic chemistry is already evident both in the film’s trailer and in their joint photo shoots.

And it doesn’t stop there. Their synastry includes additional powerful Plutonian elements: Sun–Pluto and Moon–Pluto trines, aspects that deepen even further the psychological and emotional charge of the connection. Everything points to a film that will be intensely erotic, but an eroticism that is not merely sensual… it is dark, subterranean, transformative.

And how could it be otherwise?

Wuthering Heights is the only novel by Emily Brontë, published in 1847 under the male pseudonym Ellis Bell. A Gothic work, deeply infused with themes of love, possession, revenge, and reconciliation, where Catherine is haunted by Heathcliff and he by her. A love that does not redeem, but destroys. Purely Plutonian material.

What is striking is that at the time of the book’s first publication, in 1847, Venus was in opposition to Pluto, exactly as we see in the synastry of the two protagonists. And the “coincidences” do not stop there.

Emily Brontë had an Ascendant at 25° Scorpio, with Pluto forming a trine from 27° Pisces. This is precisely where Jacob Elordi’s Venus is located (as well as my own and perhaps that is why I am writing about them now!). At the same time, Margot Robbie has an Ascendant at 24° Cancer (we do not have a birth time for Jacob), so that same Pluto of Brontë once again forms a trine, while Jacob’s Venus falls directly on Margot’s Ascendant. None of this feels accidental.

Based on this connection, we can say with considerable certainty that the two protagonists are not merely playing roles, they are energetically touching the very essence of Brontë’s work itself. Their chemistry will naturally align with the aesthetic standards of 2026 (something already being negatively commented on by audiences who want a faithful visual adaptation of the novel), yet it will carry a deep, primordial, Plutonian eroticism.

On the day the book was released in 1847, Pluto was at 25° Aries, forming a square to Jacob’s Venus. It is as if we are witnessing a fated reactivation between the book, the author, and the modern incarnations of the myth.

Finally, it is worth noting the intense repetition of Water signs, bearers of emotion and memory.

The book was released with the Moon in Cancer.

Emily Brontë also had the Moon in Cancer.

Jacob and Margot are Cancer natives as well, at degrees very close to one another and to those of the book and the author.

And as a seal upon all this, Margot’s Moon in Scorpio forms a trine with the Moon of the book, a trine with Jacob’s Sun, and a conjunction with Emily Brontë’s South Node. A clear indication that karmic ties connect souls even beyond death, exactly as the author herself sought to show through her work.

The film is expected to be released on February 13, 2026...a date far from random. On that day, Venus will be at 3° Pisces, once again activating the same energetic field that links the two co-stars, the work itself, and its author. Love, eroticism, inspiration, and memory flow through the waters of Pisces, transforming the story into something more than a cinematic narrative… I would dare say… a psychic recall.

At the same time, Pluto in Aquarius activates Emily Brontë’s Sun and South Node, acting as a final seal of her posthumous legacy. Pluto here does not destroy, it resurrects. It brings her work back into the collective mind, not merely as a classic literary text, but as a living archetype that continues to incarnate, transform, and move us.

It is as if a cycle that opened in the 19th century is now closing and returning in another era, with different faces, but with the same psychic substance. Love, obsession, karma, and memory do not disappear; they simply change vessels. And perhaps this is the most Plutonian truth of all.

Perhaps this is why such stories return again and again through time. Because Pluto never ends a cycle simply to close it. It closes it in order to resurrect it in another form. And each time such a story finds new bodies, new faces, new gazes, it is not coincidence… but the same soul asking to be told once more.
