Astrology Explains Jennifer Lopez’s Hard 2024

Jennifer Lopez’s love life has been a spectacle for the media since her Hollywood debut. When it comes to how she’s portrayed, despite her successes, Lopez’s love life has often overshadowed her career achievements. But we must acknowledge how brave J Lo has been over the years about all of this. She publicly receives shunning for choosing to love so honestly, unapologetically, and vulnerably, and for some reason, it’s ridiculed and scrutinized by many who’ve become jaded in the romance department.

Most recently, the actress made headlines after speculations about a separation between her and Ben Affleck earlier this year were confirmed when Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on Aug. 20. Their marriage was the comeback kid of the century. It gave many hope that love can always come back around and that what’s meant for you will never pass you by.

There are many questions now: was their reconciliation, and eventual divorce, destined? How will Lopez heal from all of this? So many questions and the stars have so many answers. Let’s dive into the astrology behind why Lopez is having a hard year and how she’s going to become the phoenix rising.

How Lopez’s Birth Chart Explains Her Connection With Affleck

A while back, we did an astrological compatibility piece on Lopez and Affleck and determined they were soulmates. We also saw that this relationship could lead to marriage, which it did after so many years. What makes this divorce different from the others is the spiritual compatibility between both Lopez and Affleck.

The two both have a Scorpio moon placement, which creates intense attraction and intense karma between them. When two Scorpio moon people come together, it brings forward the need for both people to let go of power struggles and wanting to assert dominance over the other. In Lopez’s case, her Scorpio moon is also accompanied by her Scorpio Neptune placement, making them tightly conjunct to one another. This oftentimes creates a rose-colored-glasses approach to love matters because she can see the good in people. Ultimately, these two planets are in her birth chart to assist her with learning how to see people and love relations at face value instead of giving people ample opportunities to take her kindness for weakness. The high vibrational purpose of these two planets together stirs a soul lesson for Lopez to learn that no matter how many tries she takes in love, she’ll never give up on finding that soul-rattling love that she intuitively knows exists in this lifetime.

How Lopez’s Birth Chart Explains Her Love Troubles

Lopez has a Sagittarius Mars that is only four degrees away from her natal Scorpio moon, and this position isn’t for the weak, to say the least. Mars is a short-distance and short-term energy source because it’s a planet of fire, conflict, and arguments, and it’s a volatile planet. The moon, on the other hand, represents love, balance, and harmony and is a passive planet next to Mars. When an individual has mars-moon conjunct, it can equate to many short-term love relations, someone who has many marriages, or it can allude to marital conflict in the individual’s future.

Does this mean all love and marriage will be bad luck for her? No, not necessarily. It simply means this energy is dominant, and it also gives her a lot of tenacity to go after what she wants in love because Mars is a fighting planet. She’s a fighter who will never give up in life or love thanks to this position.

How Lopez’s Birth Chart Explains Her Hero Story

Although Lopez’s accurate birth time isn’t publicly confirmed, she could have a Libra ascendant or Libra in her 5th house of love and romance, which would be crucial to her 2024 divorce and story.

There have been eclipses in Libra occurring since 2023 and in 2024. Eclipses are annual powerful cycles that create dramatic and destined changes for those who have zodiac placements in the ecliptic axis of said year. Eclipses are meant to rattle our lives and awaken us to our true potential. Eclipses also help us let go of old baggage and complete karmic cycles that have been holding us back. In the case of J Lo, the Libra eclipses are definitely attributed to her reclamation of self-love and going deeper with her shadow work, as we saw in her most recent bodies of work, and helping her come out stronger post-divorce.

Lopez is having the post-breakup bounce back we all are cheering for. She’s seemed so unfazed by the filing of her divorce and has been turning heads on red carpets. Is this all a front, or is it for real? By the looks of her Pisces North Node in her birth chart, this is definitely her comeback story, and it’s genuine. Thanks to the Pisces Lunar Eclipse on Sept. 17, which activated her Pisces North Node in her chart, she’s feeling empowered and ready to wrap up cycles. Lunar Eclipses give us the push needed to release and end what’s no longer serving us. Her North Node being blessed by the eclipse is catapulting her into a new mindset helping her reach her life purpose, and that’s all about reclaiming her soul’s confidence.

Will Lopez and Affleck Get Back Together?

This couple is known for their shock factor, and they don’t cease to keep the public on their toes, especially after they were seen out for a public breakfast recently with their children. Now this has us all wondering, are they ready to heal and forgive one another?

According to astrology, it’s not looking too likely that these two will be able to reconcile by the end of the year. Much of that assumption has to do with Affleck’s natal Venus in Cancer undergoing a harsh opposition by Pluto’s current retrograde in Capricorn since September of this year. A Pluto-Venus opposition in one’s chart creates destruction in love and is a really intense opportunity to allow the divine orchestration of what was built on falsity in love to fall apart in order to be rebuilt in truth.

However, by the looks of the public heat on Lopez at this time, given her prior relationship with Sean Diddy Combs, who has been accused of sexual assault by nearly a dozen women this year, reuniting could be a PR disaster for the couple. Yet again, this couple is being pulled apart by the court of public opinion. This is something their Leo suns have to continuously battle as a couple in the limelight.
