As predicted here, Natalie Portman won the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Black Swan at Sunday's Academy Awards. This award comes with many blessings, such as better career prospects, an increase in per-movie salary and, of course, the admiration of one's peers. But it also comes with one major curse: Many of the esteemed actresses who have won the coveted prize have been faced with divorce or a bad breakup soon after. Last year, Sandra Bullock had her Oscar for a week before news broke that her husband Jesse James was cheating. So, what are the odds that expectant mom Natalie, who recently became engaged to baby-daddy Benjamin Millepied, will elude this curse?

Luckily as a Gemini with a Scorpio Rising and Virgo Moon, Natalie has the stars behind her! In fact, her love life will greatly improve over the next two years, as she'll be hosting Jupiter, the planet of luck, in her natal commitment house from June 2011 until June 2012 and then hosting the planet in her natal house of intimacy and her solar identity house. That means she'll be riding a lucky streak until June 2013. After that, she’s on her own, but by then, she'll have outlived the dreaded Oscar curse!
