Patricia McBride is an American Ballerina with the longest career on record and spent 30 years dancing with the New York City ballet. McBride emerged as a star with roles specifically created for the accomplished performer. It was said she danced full of emotion while creating magnificent rapport with some of the greatest male dancers. When Patricia danced it was also said she oozed passion throughout every part of her body.

The world’s most innovative choreographer – George Balanchine – created dances especially for his muse and she admired and loved him and wanted to do well. The beautiful dancer was described as shy but tireless and worked seven days a week, possessing an amazing work ethic. Patricia also married a dancer and run a ballet company together. With all of these fabulous comments and attention rolling McBride’s way, one begins to feel somewhat jealous (meow) and it’s enough to want to scratch her eyes out (just kidding, she seems really sweet and lovely). It would be a good time to analyse some of the chart placements to see where all the adulation, praise and adoring fans can be seen in the star ballerina’s horoscope, along with being paired with all the great male lovers in dance.

First a video:

Patricia McBride possesses four planets in the sign of Virgo and this accounts for the great work ethic and as we know, dancers need to take a lot of criticism. Also, when teaching their skills to others, offer their own constructive evaluation for how best things can be improved. For further information about Virgo’s work ethic, criticism, kind and loving nature – read here. However, we know a Virgoan soul isn’t showy in the personality and doesn’t want or need to attract such worship. We all have our eyes clearly focused on Venus conjunct Pluto in Leo and in the 5th house, creating an emphasis on the most entertaining side of the Leonian nature. Below are excerpts from this website on these placements and we can clearly see the ability of Venus to powerfully give a performance and attract of all these honours for dancing.

The person may account stories of intense, obsessive and consuming love and it is one of the classic aspects of power-struggles within a close bond.

If relationships are flowing along on a more superficial level, at some point, they will be forced to face the darker depths of emotion. Pluto also introduces an element of fate and destiny to meet when involved intimately with others.

On another level, there is also a deep sense of unlovableness, fear of rejection which plunges the individual into despair.Venus also rules art and beauty and so they might be obsessed with creativity, artistic endevours, and making something worthwhile out of what other people have discarded.

Venus-Pluto marks the McBride’s passion for dancing and being on stage and the performance, along with of all of her Leo attributes making her something of a femme fatale on stage.
