Aniston, Jolie and Brad Pitt — Unravelling the Love Triangle Through the Destiny Matrix (Arcanum 8)
Brad Pitt is a world-famous American actor and modern-day Hollywood sex symbol. In the year 2000, he married another American superstar, Jennifer Aniston. However, five years later, the couple parted ways, as Pitt began a highly publicised romance with Angelina Jolie — a relationship that ultimately also ended in separation. But why did this happen? What was the real reason behind his divorces from both women? Let’s explore this through the lens of Natalia Ladini’s Destiny Matrix method — the “22 Arcana”.
Brad Pitt’s Nature — Analysis of His Personal Matrix
Brad Pitt was born on 18 December 1963. This is all we need to calculate his Destiny Matrix using our free calculator:
To understand Pitt’s nature, we’ll examine the central Arcana of his Matrix — particularly the Centre, Business Card, and Karmic Tail positions.
The “Justice” Arcanum in the Character zone suggests that Pitt is naturally courageous, open, friendly, responsible, and always keen to explore new experiences. Those around him perceive him as a kind and compassionate individual — someone who’s ready to lend a hand and offer wise advice. According to the 18th Arcanum, “The Moon”, women find him incredibly charismatic and attractive.
However, his personality may also manifest certain weaknesses: pride, a sense of superiority, arrogance, and a stubborn insistence on defending his point of view, even when wrong. In a past life, he may have acted as a conduit for destructive energies — perhaps even participating in warfare and dying young as a result. In this lifetime, Pitt is meant to realise himself through service to society: helping others and contributing positively to the world (which he is indeed doing).
When it comes to love and relationships, Pitt places great value on emotional intimacy and the ability to find compromise (as represented by “The Lovers” Arcanum). He seeks a partner who is less focused on career and more inclined towards creating a warm, comforting home environment — a quality associated with the “Empress”.
Why Did Aniston and Pitt Separate? — Compatibility Matrix Analysis
Let’s calculate the compatibility matrix for Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt:
The presence of the 12th Arcanum at the centre of their compatibility matrix is a positive sign. It suggests that, when both partners are in their ‘positive’ aspect, they share a deep emotional connection and offer one another mutual support.
The 14th Arcanum in the Higher Purpose zone indicates that this relationship existed to allow both partners to exchange thoughts and emotions, broadening one another’s horizons. At the same time, they were advised not to become too caught up in the moment or overindulge in each other’s presence.
Looking into the Karmic Tail, we can see the potential for imbalance: one partner may have demanded too much. Emotional intimacy could have faded over time, and their bond may have shifted into a more mundane, household-level dynamic — losing its romantic spark and evolving into a platonic friendship. This shift likely weakened their soul-level connection, prompting one of them to search for that lost depth elsewhere.
The “Fool” Arcanum appears in the position of the break-up cause. This implies that the split may have stemmed from a lack of seriousness, emotional immaturity, or one partner limiting the other’s freedom.
In our view, the main reason for the breakup was unprocessed karmic baggage in the relationship — and it’s precisely for this reason that Brad Pitt ultimately left Jennifer Aniston for Angelina Jolie.
What Attracted Pitt to Jolie? — Compatibility Matrix and Breakup Analysis
Pitt and Jolie met while filming the movie Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and their chemistry quickly turned into a real-life romance.
With strong appearances of the “Moon”, “Hermit”, and the 18th Arcanum in the centre of their compatibility matrix, it’s evident that the couple shared an intense emotional bond from the outset. Their union was meant to help them explore the depths of the human soul and begin anew. It’s intriguing that the “Fool” Arcanum, which appeared as the reason for Pitt and Aniston’s breakup, also appears as the purpose of Pitt and Jolie’s meeting.
Both partners possess strong minds, and conflicts may have arisen from their unwillingness to truly listen to one another — ultimately leading to miscommunication. The “Hermit” Arcanum, which appears as the reason for their breakup, suggests that the relationship ended due to physical and emotional distance growing between them.
Conclusion
In conclusion, both relationships — with Aniston and with Jolie — had the potential to be positive and meaningful. However, in the former, Pitt lacked the emotional depth he craved, prompting him to seek it elsewhere. With Jolie, he seemed to have found “the one”. Still, in 2019, Jolie announced their divorce, citing differences in parenting philosophies and claiming it was “for the children’s benefit”. Yet the 9th Arcanum suggests we can’t be certain this was the full truth. It remains possible that the two could reunite — likely at Pitt’s initiative.
