OJ Simpson – a tricky transition

OJ Simpson, the former high-profile football star, has been granted early release from prison. He was given a nine-to-33-year sentence in 2008 on charges of assault, kidnapping, and armed burglary after attempting to steal pieces of his own sports memorabilia from a hotel room. This was 13 years after being acquitted in the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman. His lawyers previously argued that his sentence was inordinately long; intended as a payback for his controversial 1995 acquittal instead of a punishment for his 2007 crime. He will be released as early as 1 October of this year.

Born 9 July 1947 8.08 am San Francisco, he has a Water Grand Trine of Sun Mercury in Cancer trine Jupiter in Scorpio trine an 8^th house Pisces Moon. Certainly highly emotional, he’ll live in a protected bubble of his own inner world, and, while creative, will at times be detached from reality. His competitive, combative Mars in Gemini in the 10^th is in a showbizzy trine to Neptune, sextile a depressive Saturn (Pluto) in Leo in his 12^th. His Jupiter in Scorpio (often good at attracting money) is square his Pluto Saturn, as well as being trine his Sun Mercury – so he has the confidence and luck to balance out the negative traits. It’s not an ultra-violent chart but none too stable psychologically.

In October tr Pluto will be sextile his Jupiter and trine his Sun/Jupiter midpoint to give him a morale boost. Though it won’t be an easy transition with many (including in the media) trying to trip him up. Tr Jupiter moves into his 4^th through 2018, followed late in the year by his progressed Moon for two years plus thereafter. So if he has any sense he’ll lie low and stay close to home.
