Ellen Page and Emma Portner have tied the knot. This pair of very talented individuals took the plunge and now they are figuring out how their relationship works. When we marry some aspects of our lives require us to make changes; others things just change unexpectedly.
Getting together was the big move for this couple. Destined might be another way of putting it. Both Page and Portner have commented that from the moment they first saw each other’s performances they felt “connected.” Emma states “I watched one of Ellen’s films when I was about 12 and I remember my friend saying: You are just like this girl. …. I knew we’d cross paths someday – I just wasn’t quite sure when or how.” Ellen stated that after coming across one of Emma’s dance videos she was transfixed. “I thought: ‘Damn, this girl is so talented and so cool. I knew right away we were both creative spirits.”
As to exactly “when or how” Page and Portner met up it is not clear and that is okay. Some mystery is good. Still the absence of details prompts use to imagine how gratifying it was for each of them to find themselves in the company of someone they admired and respected. It’s a clear case of identification and projection, but it works as a strong attraction. Now they have met and married, Page and Portner tell us they are acting on their mutual desires to live and perform as gay women. Their intention is to establish new models of femininity and contribute to causes which promote gender identity freedom. We wish them only the best of luck.

Both Ellen Page and Emma Portner were born on Saturday. This makes them two of a certain kind. By this statement we are not referring to their gender preference, but the fact that they both happen to be children of Saturn. They have obviously recognized a deep serious streak in one another. By now both have become rock solid authorities in their fields. The challenge of this Saturn relationship is not to let things that go on between them become old and dry.
Despite the heaviness of Saturn, there is little chance of things getting dull as long as this pair plays up the factor of their individual talents. Even though they were born in different zodiac signs, broad-minded Jupiter is their OUTER ruler, making their basic personalities different by ELEMENT. Watery Pisces makes Page emotional. The fiery Sagittarius of Portner is idealistic.
UPDATE – Ellen Page and Emma Portner are divorcing. “After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce following our separation last summer,” the couple have stated jointly. “We have the utmost respect for each other and remain close friends.” Portner supports Page’s decision to come out as transgender.
“Some aspects of our personalities change when we marry; others do not. We have a choice about some of these differences. Other shifts just happen and we have to deal with them.” That was a statement made in their original post. Being such a Saturnian couple these two individuals were fortunate to be honest and deal with the realities of their situation.
Sometimes having two Saturday Day Rays in a relationship can offer too much difficulty for a pair to handle. That may have been the case between these two decated individuals. Dayology never advises people against doing what they want to do, but it may caution them to remain aware. There may be an important experience at hand, as was the case in this Double Saturn example.
