My last Batman villain for the month, Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. Though she isn't exactly a villain, as she says her world is shades of grey. She goes however she wants. But she is one of those elusive chicks for Mr. Bats. They've got major chemistry - so let's explore her astrologically!

SUN & MERCURY

Her birthday is supposedly March 15th, which makes her a Pisces. This does make a lot of sense, similarly to why I chose Pisces for the Joker. She's very fluid, and various origin stories show her having to overcome a lot when young and take care of younger females (very Pisces with the compassionate side). Plus the love of animals, which is Pisces or Virgo. Since I think Batman is a Scorpio Sun, this would make their Sun's trine, in elemental harmony, giving them an innate understanding of one another.

I also put her Sun in the 12th house, just like Batman. She hides behind a mask as well, and again, it goes to their understanding of one another. That would make her an Aries Rising, which I like because she comes across as someone who can take care of herself, independent, strong. This is also trine Batman's Sagittarius rising, giving more of that elemental harmony.

I put her Mercury in Pisces and the 12th house as well, amplifying her Piscean flow.

VENUS

I like her Venus in Aries because it makes her not a flower-y type of female, especially in love. This would be conjunct Batman's Mars, and Venus/Mars connections can be strong indicators of attraction. The conjunction in particular shows major chemistry. I would put her Venus on her AC (1st house cusp) because Catwoman oozes sex appeal, and this position tends to do that (think Angelina Jolie).

MOON & MARS

I feel like we're missing some earthy energy and some Scorpio/8th house energy, so I'd put her Moon in one and Mars in the other. Scorpio Moon and the 8th house might make more sense given her violent home life, and Mars in an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) would help give her that earthy sensuality.

ASTEROID BLACK

I mentioned in the Batman post that there is an asteroid Black, and that it would probably be prominent in his chart since he dons all black. So does Catwoman, so I'd bet she has a prominent asteroid Black.
