Roseanne Barr is an American comedian and actress known for her political criticism of the rich and powerful – the elite. That’s how she began anyway. When she became one of them, Roseanne’s jokes weren’t funny any more. In 2011 she became involved in poliitics, announcing that she would run for President of the United States. She made it onto the ballot in 2012 by way of the Peace and Freedom party.
Power was always a theme of Roseanne’s work, political and otherwise. You might have known her from her tv show “Roseanne” which was popular from 1988-1997. In 2016 she “flipped” and became a partisan of Trump. Now that I can read bazi, I’m not sure she was ever trying to win support for impoverished Americans. I say this having been a fan of hers prior to 2016.
Now I see that Roseanne Barr aligns with different forms of power at different times in her life.
She Devil
In her first movie She Devil (1989), Roseanne Barr plays Ruth Patchett, a home-making wife betrayed by her husband.
Watch as her rebellion against domesticity begins. This scene is a possible expression of the type of energy called 七殺 7 Killings. 7 Killings can manifest as a “win at all costs” type of approach to a situation, and Ruth is just getting started. Like Roseanne herself, she has hidden reservoirs of friends and strength.
As the plot unfolds, Ruth destroys her own house and even abandons her children as part of her plan to get revenge on her husband. She wants them to pester his new mistress. Roseanne’s inspiration in playing out her Medea fantasy seems to come from a deep place. This made me curious. I decided to check her bazi to see if this 7 Killings type of energy might be familiar to her. It is!
Roseanne Barr is a 癸 yin Water day master. Yin Water is rebellious and uncontainable, just to name a couple of qualities. As you read the rest of this post, keep in mind that Earth is the element that controls (or pollutes) Water.

The first thing that stands out is that Roseanne’s bazi contains all four Vaults: 辰 Dragon, 戌 Dog, 丑 Ox and 未 Sheep. These are all Earth signs.
All four Earth branches are present in the chart and perfectly arranged to clash with each other. Often this can indicate problems with family (and other) relationships. Roseanne’s history would support that idea. She has a reputation for being willing to trash her relationships and even act crude or offensive to prove her point. When I look at her eyes I see how smart she really is. I think she knows exactly what she is doing.
For a woman who is a yin water day master, yin earth represents the “7 killings”, boyfriend or competitive and daring energy. This is what she carries in her innermost self and in her mind. The yang earth represents her “Officer”. Yang Earth for her is lawful, carrying career or diplomatic type of energy.
These Earths in Roseanne’s chart can also represent husbands or “boyfriends”. Having both yin and yang Earth energy in her chart makes it difficult for her to be successful in marriage type relationships. Have you ever noticed how Roseanne Barr is particularly outspoken about men in general trying to control her? She goes to extremes to express her agency.
Bazi isn’t ruled by the mechanics of counting up elements but in Roseanne’s case it matches up. There are four long term relationships with men in her history:
- Bill Pentland: They married February 4, 1974 and divorced January 16, 1990 (Metal Horse)
- Tom Arnold: They married January 20, 1990 (Metal Horse) and filed for divorce April 18, 1994 (Wood Dog).
- Ben Thomas: They married February 14, 1995 (Wood Pig) and divorced in 2002 (Water Horse).
- Johnny Argent – they met in 2002 (Water Horse) and started dating in 2003. Now they live together in Hawaii.
Almost every time the Horse year shows up in the year pillar she gets married and/or divorced. Next year is a Wood Horse year…will her relationship survive? Her hour pillar says there’s a good chance.
Good luck Roseanne.
