Candice Brown

Candice Brown, winner of The Great British Bake Off 2016, was born on Friday, 21st December 1984 in London, England. No birth time available. Intriguingly, she is only four days older than last year's winner, Nadiya Hussain who was born on 25th December 1984.

As there's no birth time for Candice, it's not possible to know whether the Sun was in Sagittarius or Capricorn on the day she was born as the Sun changed signs on that date. If she was born before 4:30pm she'll be a Sagittarian, after 4:30pm a Capricorn. However, it is safe to say that her natal Sun was conjunct a World Point - along with her natal Neptune - so she was destined to be famous. With the Sun conjunct Neptune in her natal chart, she is sensitive and highly emotional, and possibly also lacks self-belief and confidence which is usually the case with this planetary combination. The Sun is in a sextile aspect to Mars which will give her enormous vitality, physical fitness, and the ability to channel her energy in a very constructive way. 

Without a birth time it's not possible to calculate the exact degree of the Moon, but I do know that it's in the sign of Sagittarius. This shows that Candice has a strong emotional attachment to moral values which were instilled in her during childhood. She has high ideals and is very optimistic. The Moon in this sign brings restlessness and the urge to travel. I have a feeling that, in the future, she will live in more than one country. With excellent intuition, she has the ability to tune in to future trends and gauge public opinion. She should trust her instincts.

Natal Mercury in Sagittarius indicates that Candice has a finely tuned, philosophical outlook. She has very powerful, almost visionary, insight. Mercury is in a sextile aspect to Venus in her natal chart giving her an elegant way with words and a wonderful sense of humour. She is very charming and sociable. Natal Mercury in conjunction with Uranus shows great intellect and originality. Candice may sometimes feel misunderstood but, make no mistake - this young woman is very clever.

With her natal Venus in the sign of Aquarius, Candice needs personal freedom and will resist being tied down by anything or anyone. She has many friends and people are drawn to her sparkling personality and sense of fun. Venus in a sextile aspect to Uranus shows tremendous creative talent. She may be attracted to unusual people or interests. One of the things which people found alluring about Candice - apart from her talent for baking - was her sense of style and her penchant for lipstick. This is a trademark of Venus in Aquarius.


In Candice's natal chart, Mars is situated in the sign of Aquarius giving her a stubborn streak and a taste for the unusual and unorthodox. She will be an asset to any group of people who are working towards the same goal, as she contributes well as part of a team. However, as is often the case with planets in Aquarius, she will also feel a powerful need to act in her own way, which will, in turn, make her very competitive. Mars is in a square aspect to Saturn which indicates that she is someone who is very disciplined, hard-working and persevering. However, this planetary influence could bring a tendency towards being accident-prone. Her natal Mars is also in a square to her Nodes giving her the courage to follow through on new ideas, and a tendency to take risks. Her personal independence will be extremely important to her.


Transiting Pluto made a brief conjunction to Candice's natal Jupiter in Spring 2016, probably around the time she actually won 'The Great British Bake Off'. This is a long-term aspect which will return at the end of December 2016 and will remain until February 2019. This planetary influence brings major accomplishments and provides a powerful boost of self-confidence. She may feel the urge to drastically change her circumstances, but she should use her potential future success very carefully. With a new desire to achieve, this young woman will become a huge public influence. Candice will develop a new perspective on what she wants from life, and what she is willing to do to get it will undergo a fundamental change. The next two years will become a time when her hard work will be rewarded, which, in turn, will help her to make even bigger plans for the future. The need to expand her horizons and break free from the limitations of her current life style will be the major theme during this period.




Transiting Jupiter in a positive trine aspect to her natal Venus from November 2016 until July 2017 will bring a generous and romantic phase into Candice's life. This positive attitude will help her to attract positive experiences and situations. Her social life will be greatly enhanced. Under this planetary influence, she is likely to start a new job or project. It's also possible that she will begin a business partnership. The only potential problem associated with this transit is the tendency to pass up chances for advancement. Candice will need to keep her eyes open to potential opportunities.

With transiting Saturn conjunct Candice's natal Sun from March 2017 until January 2018 she will become more serious, ambitious and dedicated. This planetary influence will greater responsibility, but it is very good for making investments and for career promotion. During this period, she will be busy planning new ventures.


In Candice's Solar Arc chart Mars is square her natal Sun and in conjunction to a World Point this year and in 2017. This planetary influence is the driving force behind her current popularity and success, heightening her will to achieve, bringing initiative and motivation. Both Solar Arc Mars and the Nodes will move into new signs in 2017, and in 2018, events will bring a major change of direction in her life.
