Evanna Lynch's Career

Evanna Lynch is an Irish actress and model who became famous when she played Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films. This post analyzes her career. 

The 10th house (the house of career) from the Sun and the ascendant is in Aries, which is ruled by Mars. Mars is with Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus in Leo, giving her a powerful sense of her own magnificence and an unwillingness to live a normal life. Leo is also an extremely expressive sign full of drama and flair; Leo people want to tell you their story, and consequently, many leaders and actors have notable placements in Leo. Mars is in a constellation called Purva Phalguni, whose energy is the power of procreation. This shows a creative tendency in her career, especially when Mars is with Venus, the planet of creativity.

Looking at her career from a different perspective, Evanna’s Sun (the natural significator of the career) is placed 10 houses away from her Moon in Ashlesha, the constellation whose desire is to overcome enemies. This is an extremely competitive constellation, and is no wonder she was only cast after auditioning against 15,000 other girls!

The divisional chart for the career show further details. Mars is in a constellation called Bharani, which is ruled by Yama, the deity who in the Vedas who carries souls from this world to the next. The symbolism seems heavy for an actor in a children’s movie, but this illustrates a major theme of Evanna’s character in Harry Potter - in the Order of the Phoenix, Luna and Harry were one of the few people who could see Thestrals because they “can only be seen by people who've seen death”. 

Back to the divisional chart for career - Mars is placed in the 10th house in its own sign. This forms a powerful combination called Ruchaka Yoga, one of the five “Great Person” combinations in Jyotish. The classical texts say this makes the person a military general, and hints at the discipline required to successfully play a part in a movie. She may also have been assertive while she acted, and almost certainly was ambitious and competitive when she was auditioning for her role.

Miss Lynch was cast at age 14 when she was living her Jupiter / Venus planetary cycle (July ’03 to March ’06). Both Jupiter and Venus are in a constellation called Magha, which is symbolized by a throne room, giving her a tendency to live a royal life during this period. Jupiter and Venus’s placement also shows gains during this period - Jupiter, as ruler of the 9th house (general wealth), and Venus, as ruler of the 11th house (gains), placed together in the 2nd house (money), form a powerful Dhana Yoga (money combination). 

Combined, these qualities point quite clearly towards a career in acting, and the symbolism even hints at her character in Harry Potter. ​
