Alec and Hilaria Baldwin birth charts: Can marriage survive manslaughter charges?

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s favor with fans and the public at large is indeed starting to “Rust.”

The celebrity couple, who have weathered haters of their biblical seven child brood and cringe worthy social media posts, have long been a source of controversy and the inspiration for eye rolls and head shakes.

Critics have taken issue with the couple’s quarter century age gap, Hilaria’s postpartum body, rap sheet of Instagram faux pas, famously fake Spanish accents, and their respective responses to Alec’s involvement in a fatal 2021 shooting.

In January, Alec was charged with involuntary manslaughter by authorities in New Mexico for his role in the on set shooting death of ‘Rust’ cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, although it has been decided that his leading role will not be re-cast in the American western film.

In the aftermath of Hutchins’s tragic death and conversations surrounding Alec’s accountability, Hilaria has come, often and vocally to her husband’s defense, even using her body to block photographers and distracting the press so her husband could exit their home without fanfare.

As their marriage faces yet another challenge we are taking a look at their respective birth charts to learn more. What astrological energy is stirred by and between this pairing? Read on to learn more about the stars, sun signs and gravitational pull of Hilaria and Alec Baldwin.

Cardinal couple

Born April 3, 1958, Alec is an Aries with his moon sitting opposite his sun in the oft imbalanced, desperate to be liked sign of Libra. Born January 6, 1984, 39 year old Hilaria is a Capricorn sun with a weirder than a box of hair, pretend to be Spanish for kicks Aquarius moon. In terms of modalities, Capricorn Hilaria and Aries Alec are both cardinal sun signs. Never subtle and rarely patient, always initiating, often instigating, cardinal signs are big on broad strokes and bold moves.

Case in point, upon first spotting then yoga instructor Hilaria at a NYC vegan restaurant (eye roll), Alec reportedly grabbed her hand and breathlessly exclaimed in the most Aries pick up line of all time, “I need to know you.” Alec’s Aries intensity/instability has also shown through in his voicemail outbursts at daughter Ireland, online sparring with detractors and fisticuffs with strangers over a parking spot.

Square suns

The Baldwin’s sun signs are square one another, a potent aspect that equates to strong physical attraction and approaches to life that are at times deeply divergent. This is a passionate, strongly physical pairing but one that must leverage a divide and conquer over a compete and combust approach to love and long term goals. It would seem the couple has mastered this dynamic as they seem very much in step with and fully supportive of one another even and especially when the other has gone absolutely off the rails.

Jupiter conjunct Mars

Hilaria’s Mars, planet of will and sexuality is conjunct Alec’s Jupiter, planet of expansion and abundance. If you’re wondering how and why this May-December romance resulted in seven kids, the evidence is underlined and bold face in this conjunction. The operative word here is more. These joined planetary forces are wonderful when it comes to building a familial fleet, in their case, with kids names inspired by Hilaria’s fake Spanish heritage and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but all that expansive, unchecked energy can be detrimental to other areas of life.

Mars and Jupiter in cahoots equal an aiding and abetting vibe that indicates there’s no one pulling back on the reigns or roping in the crazy, a point made evident by their unfailing loyalty to one another’s delusions, Alec’s bizarre plea to fans to follow his wife on social media and Hilaria’s distract and deflect paparazzi techniques.

Sun trine Uranus

To the benefit of both parties, Alec’s sun in Libra trines Hilaria’s Uranus in Sagittarius. In astrology Uranus is the planet of sudden change and radical shifts, it’s punk rock, its unexpected, it doesn’t care about the status quo and it can leave all manner of calamity in its neon wake. The trine between these celestial bodies indicates that life between Alec and Hilaria is ever shifting. Their constant is flux itself and readjustment, recalibration and sudden restarts are part of their process. This bodes well for their ability to weather storms and face adversity as a united front but it also suggests that their combined energy courts chaos and expresses itself in erratic episodes and tone deaf social media posts. Checks out.

Future focused

As the possibility of jail time and the damning court of public opinion hang over Alec, it would seem no matter the resolution of his criminal charges, he has a ‘for better or for worse’, crazy see crazy, ride or die, neigh, montar o morir, in his corner.
