The Stars Reveal: A Glimpse Into The Marriage of Lucius & Belphoebe Lestrange
This pureblood power-couple surprised many with their marriage, as it was Mr. Lestrange's second and the former Miss Trimble had long since been considered an old maid as far as romance was concerned. They have been somewhat reclusive since their nuptials, with much of their efforts apparently devoted to family life (as they recently welcomed their first son — Mr. Lestrange's third) and business at the Ministry, where Mrs. Lestrange is employed within the Department of Mysteries, and Mr. Lestrange was recently elevated to the position of Chief Warlock. What is their marriage really like? Where observation alone fails to answer, the stars may prove more enlightening!

Both Mr. Lestrange (as a Libra) and Mrs. Lestrange (as a Gemini) are air signs, which means they likely communicate very well with one another; an auspicious start to a healthy marriage. There is some indication in the relationship between Venus and Mercury (their two ruling planets) that trust between the two is strong, which may lead to a greater degree of independence allowed for Mrs. Lestrange — which certainly seems evident in the fact that her husband has allowed her to continue having a career, even during and after her pregnancy.

One thing the signs do indicate is that this is a couple who does best with some space in their relationship, as Mrs. Lestrange's Gemini desire to show her own knowledge and expertise may come across as a desire to prove herself intellectually superior to her husband, which would be bound to cause a good deal of friction. Mrs. Lestrange may also place more importance on intellectual pursuits than on responsibility or consistency of character, which are certain priorities for Mr. Lestrange (as his long career in the Wizengamot has been a testament to).

All in all, things seem to have gone smoothly and quietly for the pair so far — but Mrs. Lestrange may find herself wearing thin on her husband's patience sooner or later, if she does not prove herself more flexible to his whims and desires.

Belphoebe Lestrange nee Trimble was never expected to marry, much less to such an auspicious family as the Lestranges.

Lucius Lestrange is one of the most formiddable and respectable members of wizarding society.
