The Marriage of John Travolta and Kelly Preston

By Molly Hall, About.com

John Travolta and Kelly Preston, 2007

What is the birth data?:
John Travolta was born on February 18th, 1954 at 2:53 p.m. in Englewood, NJ and Kelly Kamalelehua Palzis Preston was born on October 13th, 1962 (birth time unknown) in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Air Signs Think Alike:
John Travolta is a late Aquarius at 29 degrees, which means there's no trine with her Sun in Libra but they're technically both in air signs. Like many Hollywood stars, they practice Scientology, a system of learning that according to the official website has "working technologies to improve the function of the mind, and rehabilitate the potential of the spirit." Two airs signs take to an intricately mental system like ducks to water. John the Aquarian finds it forward-thinking and doesn't mind the fringe cult labels, and Kelly the Libran enjoys "staying clear" and above the fray of the usual negativity in life.
Tricky Moons:

John Travolta has Moon in Virgo and Kelly has Moon in Aries. John likely has many little daily habits that are endearing, but may at times be stifling to Kelly's "Let's Go!" Aries Moon. She may have big outbursts of anger, at which he responds cooly and rationally. On top of that her Moon squares his Uranus, creating a tension that provokes unpredictable emotions. His Moon conjuncts her Pluto, which makes their intimate trials a purifying (Virgo) force for the spirit, and is transforming.

Venus Harmonious:
His Venus in Pisces trines her Venus in Scorpio, both water signs able to sink into the depths of dreamy love. They might enjoy being by or on the water a lot, and have waterfalls in their many homes. Kelly's Venus is mistrustful, except in a sure thing relationship. His Venus believes in eternal love, and is prone to extreme sentimentality. Her Jupiter in Pisces is aligned with his Venus, making her his north star for a spiritual kind of soulmate connection.
Mars Co-Mingling:
Like the Venus signs, their Mars signs are in the same element, this time fire, with Kelly's in Leo and John's in Sagittarius. This makes their sex life vital, playful and enthusiastic. John likely pushes for bedroom gymnastics and experimentation, while Kelly brings dignity to the scene. In their careers, she helps him focus his talents, and choose projects that reflect his highest goals. He helps her broaden her horizons, and express all sides of her persona.
Saturn's Grip:
Her Saturn aligns with his Sun in Aquarius, which is one of those karmic aspects found in many longtime couples. They've got work to do, and some of it involves causes. Together they promoted Narcanon in Hawaii with a new facility they helped open, and Kelly has campaigned against giving prescribed drugs to kids with behavior disorders. Together they're in the role of rebels (Aquarius) by being Scientologists, along with their stance on drugs, and their son's illness.
The Feel Good Marriage:

With so much compatibility, John Travolta and Kelly Preston might've fallen in love at first sight. They married twice in September of 1991, having to schedule a do-over because the first one, a Scientology ceremony, wasn't legal in the eyes of the law. She didn't mind putting family first, taking the more traditional wife role, admitting she returned to movies as Mrs. John Travolta.

But as Libra, she's likely the mental head of the family, whether he realizes it or not. Here's a wife that will confide to friends, "I'll let him think it was his decision." But alls well that ends well, because he's got mostly mutable planets, making him more bendy than he looks. He probably appreciates her strength, and allows her to be queen on the domestic front.

There are many aspects that make this couple seem meant to be. The bringer of good fortune really smiled on them, with His Sun aligned with her Jupiter in Pisces and Her Sun trining his Jupiter in Gemini. These aspects bring partnership and spirituality together nicely, making their marriage a soulful affair. They know the other has gifts that open doors for them, and lead them to their destiny.
