Oscars 2019 – Bradley Cooper (A Star Is Born)

A few days ago, we wrote about Lady Gaga and her role in the movie A Star Is Born. Today, we will cover her acting partner from the same film, Bradley Cooper. A Star Is Born is gaining a lot of popularity, and it seems the chemistry between Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper worked really well.

Interesting, they are both Yin Metal Master Element, and we know that Yin Metal people love the stage and being in the center of attention (at least most of them). They also have another thing in common: a combination of Yin Metal Master Element and Yang Fire, producing a Water Element.

Water Element for Yin Metal represents output, a Creativity Component. These two pieces of information tell us that they are both natural-born performers.

In Bradley’s case, the Water Element is a bit overwhelming, throwing him out of balance, but luckily, he has plenty of Wood, which can drain the Water, or at least prevent it from flooding the BaZi Chart. This issue with Water also explains why Lady Gaga is such a good artistic partner for him. She has a lot of Wood, Earth, and Fire, while on the other side, he provides her with Water, which Lady Gaga lacks. This dynamic among the Elements explains the intense chemistry between them.

But the most crucial Element in his Chart is Yang Fire. It has several roles: it supervises excessive Water, produces Wood (Wealth), and acts as a Supertalent, which gives it charisma.

We also learned that Bradley Cooper suffered from substance addiction when he was younger and that he had often had suicidal thoughts. Highly creative people, as he clearly is, can have these issues if their creativity is not utilized correctly. Luckily, in 2005, he entered the Dragon period, which brought him much-needed Earth Element. Dragon is generally perfect for utilizing excessive Water. This combination gave him purpose and direction. In 2015, he entered the Snake period, which brought him Fire, meaning his Water is no longer so dominant.

He also stopped completely with drugs and alcohol, and his creativity is now spreading in more and more areas, from acting, movie directing, to singing and music production. Altogether a quite decent Chart, with specific flaws, which with the help of favorable periods becomes a superb Chart, an Oscar-nominated Chart, indeed.
