Nicole Kidman and her husband musician Keith Urban are to split as their marriage heads for the 20 year mark. They have been kept apart recently with her back-to-back filming and his touring schedules; with some speculation about her recent daring roles ‘with some of the kinkiest sex scenes of her career’ perhaps causing problems on home base.
Their wedding on 25 June 2006 was immediately followed by a stint for him in rehab with alcohol and cocaine problems so was hardly an auspicious start but it had seemed a surprisingly strong match thereafter until this.
She was born 20 June 1967 3.15 pm Honolulu (from memory) and he 26 October 1967 12.05 am (unverified) Whangarei, New Zealand.
She is a final degree Gemini Sun widely square Uranus (Pluto in Virgo) with a showy, charming Jupiter Venus in Leo in Sun; and a hard-edged Mars in Libras opposition Saturn in self-reliant Aries.
Born only four months apart they have the same outer planet placings; with his Scorpio Sun sitting on her Ascendant square her Jupiter for good feels and a good look for her; and his Cancer Moon trines her Neptune for an idealistic, sympathetic connection. His passionate Venus in Virgo conjunct Pluto is close to her Pluto which would also give a sizzle of attraction.
Their relationship chart has an affectionate composite Sun Venus conjunction though that has been upended by tr Uranus in square earlier this year and on into 2026. There is a cool, too-much-work Moon opposition Saturn; and a Jupiter square Neptune Mars = over hopeful and not always mutually supportive of each other’s career dreams.
Her personal chart hints at a career high ahead as transiting Jupiter heads for her midheaven in 2026 into 2027; and a confident push for success as tr Pluto opposes her Jupiter in 2026/27. But she also has a raft of tricky Solar Arcs in 2026/27 which hint at sadness and angst-ridden moments. If her birth time is accurate tr Pluto is heading to cross her IC into her 4th from 2027/28 onwards pointing to a reorganisation at home.
He looks relieved in a way with tr Uranus square his Jupiter now and into 2026 though there will be ups and downs with a pressured and challenging tr Pluto square his Sun continuing through 2026 as well as tr Neptune Saturn square his Mars in Capricorn. Plus a collision-type SA Sun conjunct his Mars in 2026 and a confused SA Pluto conjunct his Neptune in 2028 at the same time as SA Jupiter conjunct his Sun. It’ll be a long haul but may end well for him.
Their wedding chart from 25 June 2006 has a Cancer Sun opposition Pluto which has been under strain in the past two years and more so as the separation takes place through 2026; with emotional upsets from tr Uranus conjunct the Venus. There was also a destructive, self-defeating Mars Saturn conjunction then which was an omen of a one sided match to come.
Her previous marriage to Tom Cruise lasted ten years and perhaps her choice of partners can in part be attributed to her Sun/Moon midpoint being conjunct her Uranus attracting her to unconventional mates – though the first would be more restrictive than would sit comfortably with her free spirit.
