Paula Yates and the Geldofs's background

Paula Yates was an English television presenter who married Bob Geldof , the Boomtown Rats singer and organiser of Live Aid, and had three daughters with him: Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom and Pixie. The marriage ended in 1995 after Paula began a relationship with Michael Hutchence , singer of INXS, with whom she had a fourth daughter, Tiger Lily. Hutchence was found dead in a Sydney hotel room in 1997, and Paula herself died of a heroin overdose in 2000, leaving Bob Geldof to raise all four girls. The tragedy repeated itself in a further generation when Peaches died of a heroin overdose in 2014, at the same age of 25 that her mother had once nearly died from an overdose herself.

What makes Paula Yates and the Geldofs such a great example?

This family makes an unusually good, if painful, example for astrology because the same pattern of loss through addiction appears to repeat itself down two generations, from Paula to Peaches, alongside a tangle of relationships between Paula, Bob and Michael that all played out very publicly. It is a good test of whether a family's charts can show that kind of repeating, generational pattern, as well as the pull between a stable, dependable partner [Geldof] and a more volatile, magnetic one [Hutchence].

The chart shown is the birth of Paula Yates, set at midday, with the family's other charts as transits, set at midday.
