?Whom Will Tyrone Power Marry??
---We've called on the stars for the answer
March 1938
By Grant Lewi







Tyrone Power has them guessing out in Hollywood. First he went with Sonja Henie, till she traveled away for a visit to the Old Country. Then he fell for Janet Gaynor, while Sonja was dreaming of him on the high seas. Consequently, the buzzing is terrific. Is he going to marry? Is Sonja heartbroken? What are Janet?s intentions toward him and vice versa?

Let?s look at the triangle from the stars, and see what clues the three horoscopes yield about the tangle that has Hollywood guessers on the run.

To begin with, Tyrone belongs to the romantic sign Taurus, and Taurus men are hard to catch. More accurately, they are hard to hold, especially in their younger years. They will fight back with all their much-mooted stubbornness, if you tell them they?re fickle, or philanderers. But ask the girl who owns one?or thinks she does.

Venus, planet of love and beauty, rules Taurus, giving her favorites glamour and an aura of romantic appeal. When Venus inhabits the sign Gemini, as she does in Tyrone?s horoscope, the glamour isn?t? diminished. It sparkles and shines and glistens, but it is loath to settle down and focus its light permanently on even the most beautiful pair of feminine eyes in the world.

With the Sun in Taurus, square Uranus and Jupiter in Aquarius, and Venus in Gemini square, his Moon in Virgo, Tyrone goes into a love affair with all the fervor, all the ardor, all the sincerity in the world. Find a man with this combination, you girls who want a thrill, and you?ll discover something about the fine art of love-while it lasts! And when it?s all over, though your heart may be broken, you?ll never for a moment think that it wasn?t worth it. You?ll go to your grave glowing with beautiful moments. This is rather trying on the man you may eventually marry, who has a pretty high standard to live up to.

Remember this when you think about poor little Sonja?s allegedly broken heart, coming back to America to learn that her sweetheart had been (and still is)tripping hither and yon with red-headed Janet Gaynor, who is competition for any girl.

If Sonja had known her astrology, she would have taken Tyrone to Norway with her, and shut him up in a cave while she went to visit the old folks. But even the cold of the northland might not have kept his love on ice-and certainly not if Janet Gaynor had appeared on the scene.

There are very special attractions between Janet?s horoscope and Tyrone?s, which Sonja?s charm could not have overcome, even if she had stayed on deck and kept her eye on the boy friend.

It?s interesting to note that with Tyrone?s Sun in Taurus, both these girls have their Moons in Taurus. That?s an attraction, to begin with, and a very strong one. But it doesn?t insure the delivery of a wedding ring. It?s a nice brother-and-sister, palsy-walsy kind of attraction. If other less spiritual and more earthly attractions conspire, this makes a fine basis for marriage. In itself, however, it doesn?t? promise anything.

Also interesting is the fact that Tyrone?s Moon square Saturn suggests marriage to a girl older than himself. At the risk of giving away trade secrets, we here divulge that Sonja, as well as Janet, saw the light of day before the Great Moment had uttered his first cry.

But it takes more than liking the way a girl dresses her hair to have a man, especially of Tyrone?s stamp, stand in the aisle waiting for someone in a white veil to come and breathe, ?I will.? Specifically, it takes some cooperation on the part of the planet Mars, which lends the needed fire.

This is where little Sonja loses out. Her Mars is in Pisces, square to Saturn, and it?s Saturn that sits squarely on Tyrone?s Venus. This is an attraction of sorts, and sometimes a pretty violent one, but it doesn?t usually last. Tyrone is a free soul. Independent as all get-out, especially where his love life is concerned. If he ever felt for one minute that a girl thought hi securely tied up, he would automatically break for the open country.

Sonja?s Saturn on his Venus very likely made him feel confined, obligated, if you like. This probably wasn?t Sonja?s fault. She values independence as much as he does, maybe more. But with her Venus in Taurus, she?d just naturally expect the man who love her to feel the way she did-sewed up. Venus in Gemini simply doesn?t ever feel that way; and the pressure of Sonja?s Saturn on Tyrone?s Venue, plus the square of Mars, caused the break.

Janet Gaynor, however, something else again! Her Libra nature is excellently suited to understand Tyrone?s attitude toward love. She has Venus in Scorpio, opposed to her Moon in Taurus, giving her just the kind of glamour to turn Tyrone?s head. And, in addition to this, there is between their horoscopes that dynamic signature of the attraction fatale, her Mars on his Moon!

This is precisely the condition between two horoscopes that causes a romantic young man like Tyrone Power to kick over the traces and forswear everything in the past, for the sake of ?The woman I love.? When a romantic meets up with this condition, the rest of womankind pales into insignificance. If he?s married, he may even get a divorce, so as never to lost the glamorous creature who has captivated him. It is the Tristram and Isolde, Abelard and Eloise Romeo and Juliet combination. The sad thing is that it doesn?t line up to preliminary fireworks. It burns out. It dies. It causes heartbreak, and it generally leaves the man feeling that now he has seen life, now he knows the truth about women, now he is a cynic, and he is never going to love anyone again.

This isn?t Janet?s fault. There?s nothing flighty about her horoscope. She isn?t? the kind of girl to lead a man on (least of all a man young enough to be her kid brother) and then break his heart just for the fun of it.

Tyrone thinks she means something that she doesn?t mean. He misunderstands. She likes him, she?s attracted to him (who isn?t?) but she isn?t going to marry him. And if Tyrone broke Sonja?s heart, he may learn before very long how it felt.

Of course, there?s always the chance that the glamour of Mars on the moon will last long enough to lead the victims to the altar. But there isn?t? enough between Janet?s horoscope and Tyrone?s to make an enduring marriage. Tyrone has obstacles to overcome (his contract says he can?t marry) and while he?s overcoming those obstacles, the fires are going to cool, considerably.

The point of the whole matter, however, is that it doesn?t look as if Tyrone is going to marry at all for a while. With Uranus in his sun this year, he has glamour aplenty. It would be criminal for him to concentrate it all on one girl, even such a worthy one a Sonja or Janet. He might do anything under this condition, even marry, because Uranus on the Sun is about as impulsive a condition as can exist in his already impulsive and romantic horoscope. Jupiter also inclines him to marriage in this, his twenty-fouth year.

But we are still inclined to doubt that he?ll marry very soon. He might marry and get a swift divorce. We expect him to be in the market for some time to come, a sadder and wiser young man; with the additional heart-appeal of having learned what it is like to suffer.
