Boris lacking intelligence as strategy backfires

 

Another Boris botch-up as the Capricorn Lunar Eclipse opposing his Midheaven from last week makes its mark. All his best laid plans to shoehorn failing (Chris) Grayling in as head of the Intelligence Committee collapsed in a heap on the floor. The committee is due to oversee (or stymie) the long-awaited report on Russian interference in UK politics, in particular on the 2016 EU referendum and 2017 general election. No 10 received it last October and has delayed way beyond its usual 10 days for clearance. The Sunday Times has claimed that Russian business types who gave money to the Tory Party are named which would be embarrassing for the government.

Despite having explicitly said there was no preferred government candidate and indeed the 2013 Justice and Security Act having removed the right of the prime minister to choose the ISC chairperson, No 10 blithely went ahead and texted the relevant few asking for confirmation of their vote for Grayling. Julian Lewis MP, a maverick Tory intelligence expert, thought the procedure improper, put himself on the ballot and was duly elected – then had the whip removed (political payback for disloyalty.) The committee then announced the Russia report will be published within days.

Julian Lewis, 26 September 1951, Swansea, is a serious Sun Saturn in Libra with a bullishly stubborn Mars Pluto in Leo. But what’s key is his Uranus in Cancer which sits on Boris’s Midheaven – giving him the power to alter the blond one’s trajectory and potentially push his career off track. Lewis’s do-or-die determined Mars Pluto squares Boris’s flim-flam Jupiter opposition Neptune so he won’t be taken in by PM flannel.

Their relationship chart has a composite Mars in Cancer which was also exactly in line for the Lunar Eclipse. Tr Neptune is also undermining the composite Saturn in square.  Good to see the astrology is working well.

Boris could still remove him but is being heavily cautioned not to keep digging.

Ghislaine Maxwell Trial – Saturn delivers a harsh lesson ++ Updated: Money & Sex

Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial date has been set for July 12 2021 in New York with her being held in remand till then and is expected to last two or three weeks. She has pled not guilty.

At that point tr Saturn is hovering over the conjunction to her Midheaven, ready to move through her 10th. This is a time when past preparations OR mistakes come to the forefront. It can lead to success if foundations have been well laid. Or it can bring chickens home to roost as mistakes become obvious. Watergate surfaced and Nixon finally resigned as tr Saturn moved across his midheaven and 10th. Saturn punishes transgressions from societal norms.

Over the trial, assuming it sticks to schedule she does have tr Jupiter in Pisces conjunct her Solar Arc Mars for a lift and then sextile her Mars.  Her Jupiter does seem to act in odd ways given her dire circumstances, maybe her arrogance not allowing reality to seep through. According to Sakoian & Acker, an afflicted Jupiter, as she arguably has on her MC opposition Moon square Neptune, leads ‘to hypocrisy and vainglory, with disgrace and reversals of fortune.’

Add On: Puzzling over her Jupiter and how her father Robert Maxwell and Epstein are connected in her life since they were very different personalities. What they share in common is a money-magnet Jupiter which hooks into her delusionally arrogant T Square of Jupiter opposition Moon square Neptune. Epstein’s Jupiter was in Taurus and Maxwell’s in Scorpio. And her relationship chart with her father had that writ large with a composite Sun opposition Neptune square Jupiter. Her father’s ruthless and unsentimental Mars Pluto square Saturn hooked into her 8th house Capricorn Sun Mars Mercury – so he was a dominating and downright dangerous presence in her life with one of the key obsessions being money as well as secrecy.

With her connection to Epstein, perversion is much more obvious – as well as money – with a composite Venus Mars opposition Uranus square Neptune. Epstein fulfilled the other obsession of her afflicted 8th house – sex.

By August 2021 tr Saturn is conjunct her Jupiter, dampening her confidence; and she picks up the trapped, scary, infuriated tr Pluto square her Mars/Node midpoint, which has been around since early this year; and on this last hit it runs till late November 2021. No doubt there will be appeals galore and it’s 2022/23 which are more stressed for her. Tr Pluto from March 2022 starts a discouraging 2 year slog conjunct her Saturn. There’s a car-crash setback of Solar Arc Saturn square her Mars, exact in fall 2022, followed two years later by another downer as it squares her Sun. With a devastating Solar Arc Pluto conjunct her Neptune in 2023 – and two years after that her Solar Arc Pluto makes a blocked square to her Moon. And her Solar Arc Sun Mars move in opposition to her Pluto later this decade. Her days of wine and roses are long gone – though never say never to an appropriate sentence with the corruption of justice ongoing at present.

New York isn’t favourable for her putting her Pluto which is conjunct BML (Black Moon Lilith) into her 8th house and Saturn in her 12th. It does put her expansive Jupiter in the 1st so she’ll make a show of confidence but will be undermined by over hopefulness about legal matters with Neptune in the 9th  and in desperate need of a partner for support.

Of the names who have been associated with Epstein – Trump oddly looks most stressed vis a vis Maxwell. There is a composite Neptune Mars opposition Saturn square Uranus which is being heavily pressured by the tr Saturn Pluto conjunct his year and then on with tr Pluto till 2024. Though I had thought from all accounts he and Epstein parted company many years back.

Bill Clinton also has a strained relationship with Maxwell with their composite Mercury, Neptune, Sun square Uranus all being upended by the tr Saturn Pluto this year and tr Pluto on till mid decade.

Alan Dershowitz looks most aggravated by Maxwell in 2023. Prince Andrew looks flummoxed, undermined and fearing the worst over the trial but in general, though seriously rattled , doesn’t look as incensed as the others.

For more on Maxwell’s chart see previous post 2nd July 2020.

Aquarius hopefully riding to the rescue

This is thinking-in-process ramble rather than leading to any firm conclusions, may be over hopeful and not very astrological. But there feels as if there are the first whiffs of a sea-change in the air – perhaps with Saturn having had its first four-month foray into Aquarius though it’s now in retreat back in Capricorn till late December.

From this New Year into 2021 Jupiter moves through Aquarius hand in hand with Saturn for a year, with Saturn there till 2023 after which it passes the baton to Pluto moving through Aquarius till the mid 2040s.

The ‘woke’ culture is being called out for its narrowness of outlook – the semi-fascist think-like-us, speak-like-us or we’ll-destroy-you mentality. And the populists who lied to the incredulous masses to get themselves into power – Brexit, Trump, Bolsonaro etc – are stumbling in the face of hard reality. Maybe just maybe it is the first inklings of a shift into Aquarius from Saturn having sent out a shark tooth to deflate their balloon.

When the Internet was launched in 1991 it gave a platform to the disenfranchised voiceless majority – with some good and other not so good results. The “online mobs” can build up a critical mass, not there before, to effect positive change. But there is also the risk – in the words of political theorist Gaetano Mosca – that “an organised minority inevitably forces its will upon the disorganised majority.” So the screamers get free rein to set the agenda – for a time.

The World Wide Web was launched in 1991 when Saturn had just put a toe into Aquarius so is now on its First Saturn Return which is grow-up-and-get-real time. Twitter and Facebook were born with idealistic and delusional Neptune in Aquarius and self-righteous Pluto in Sagittarius in the early 2000s – giving a gift and, on occasion, a toxic chalice to the vox populi.

What got me thinking was the review of a new book, Twilight of Democracy, by journalist Anne Applebaum in the Guardian. URL below. Her husband is Polish and she watched as their friends who had fought against the Stalinist dictatorship gradually turn into right-wing nationalists and conspiracy theorists.

She makes some telling remarks, by the by, about Boris Johnson, an Oxford peer of her husband, whom she met years back: ‘She noted his laziness and “all-consuming narcissism”, as well as the undoubted charisma that was to seduce and then ruin his country. In those days – he was alarmed by the global challenge to democracy and wanted to defend “the culture of freedom and openness and tolerance”. “No one serious wants to leave the EU,” he said.’

Her theory is that the nationalist counter-revolution did not just happen. Behind it were opportunistic, mediocre politicians hungry for office, second-rate journalists sniffing a chance of recognition after years of obscurity, and Twitter mob-raisers and fake news fraudsters, all propelling causes that would make their name. In my terms, a case of the ‘hoist their flag up a pole’ and see which way the wind would blow to grab them attention.

‘Populist activists are outsiders only in that they feel insufficiently rewarded. And their opponents should never underestimate what their self-pitying vanity can make them do.’

She writes: “Sometimes the point isn’t to make people believe a lie – it’s to make people fear the liar.” Acknowledge the liar’s power, and your career takes off without the need to pass exams or to display an elementary level of competence. The end result being, as was true of communists and fascists, that they replaced “first-rate talents” with “crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity” was the best guarantee of their loyalty. (Hannah Arendt.)

As true of Boris as of Trump. The Applebaum review is worth reading (URL).

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/jul/12/anne-applebaum-how-my-old-friends-paved-the-way-for-trump-and-brexit

Her argument about recent political shifts is – kind of at a stretch – the same as the internet phenomenon. The lowest common denominator got a voice on the WWW as a side-effect of the laudable attempt to give a platform to the previously silenced majority.  Lying populist politics harnessed social media to foster the careers of second-raters on an expedient and unprincipled trip. [While admitting that politicians have always lied through the ages and most often not been top notch.]

I’m trying not to be elitist and say the deplorables should be shut up and sent back into their box. But there is a bewildering sense of the mob taking over, which has been a fear through most societies since Roman times and before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ochlocracy  Looking up a few examples mentioned in wiki for mob violence, transiting Saturn square Neptune seems to be a constant as was the case for Brexit and Trump – though as it comes round relatively frequently it must be as an add-on to larger influences. In its better guise Saturn Neptune helps the cause of the underdogs – workers and women.

Ancient Greek political thinkers labelled ‘bad’ forms of government as tyranny, oligarchy, and ochlocracy as opposed to ‘good’ forms of monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy. Good government acted in the interest of the whole community while bad government acted in the exclusive interests of a group or individual at the expense of justice. So presumably they had experience from history of all such forms which constantly fluctuate.

On the brink of the exit of Pluto from Capricorn into Aquarius in 2023, with the forward scouts of Jupiter Saturn leading the way from late this December there is hope of a shift from the disintegrating days of Capricorn into ??????

On previous occurrences of Pluto in Aquarius (approximately every 250 years):

1778 -1797: The USA declared independence in 1776 with high ideals about a new form of government, followed by the French Revolution of 1793 also visionary (at the start) about the rights of the common man. It was a productive period for philosophical and social thinkers – Emmanuel Kant and Thomas Paine (Rights of Man.)

1532 – 1552: The Roman Catholic versus Protestant schism got under way in earnest, which started to pull power away from an omnipotent and corrupt Vatican.

796 – 816: Charlemagne, Holy Roman Emperor, united most of Western Europe, lays the foundations for modern France and Germany and institutes political reforms. [For more on Pluto in Aquarius see post August 24 2019.]

In the churning chaos of this years’ triple conjunction of Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter, especially with nailed-down Saturn Pluto in place, there’s a sense of stasis and hopelessness as if the present situation was never going to change or at least the deterioration of values was going to worsen. And a rebalancing may not come immediately as the recent Poland elections with the Nationalists back in power indicate. The previous Saturn Pluto Jupiter conjunction in the 19th Century took two or three years to have an impact on economic rebuilding for example.

But I travel hopefully – from small beginnings come greater things. Democracy may be in a twilight phase but the pendulum will swing.

PS: Anne Applebaum was born the same year as Boris, Dan Brown, Christopher Steele though a few weeks later. 25 July 1964. She has the same Mutable Uranus Pluto in Virgo opposition Saturn and Mars Venus in Gemini plus the Jupiter opposition Neptune – so better able to understand the Boris mindset than most, though she’s much less scattergun than him.

John Travolta – handed a trickier hand of cards than most

Actor John Travolta has lost his wife Kelly Preston to breast cancer, as he lost his first love Diana Hyland to the same in 1977.  He does have a challenging and intensely emotional chart. His deeply buried 8th house Aquarius Sun is in opposition to Pluto giving him a strong need to be in control, stemming in part from his sense that his life is often not under control. With three planets, Sun, Venus and Mercury in the 8th he’ll often feel pulled around by forces he does not understand and in which he has no choice.

He also has a wide-ish Water Grand Trine in the water houses of a 12th house Uranus in Cancer trine his 8th house Mercury in Pisces trine a 4th house Saturn in Scorpio – so he swims in emotional affect finding it difficult, despite his Aquarius Sun, to get detachment and distance from what is going on in his life. He will live in his own bubble, at times divorced from reality.

That Grand Trine forms into a lucky kite with Mercury opposition a 2nd house Virgo Moon which will help him to focus his energy into work and money which will ground him. His Sun also trines a 4th house Neptune in Libra so he’ ll have had to sacrifice a fair amount for his family both in childhood and adult life. His 12th house high-tension and unpredictable 12th house Uranus opposes a Capricorn North Node and Chiron and squares onto his Neptune which will foster strange beliefs and a yearning for a spiritual connection which may be partly why he inclined towards Scientology.

His saving grace comes from an exuberantly flamboyant Mars in Sagittarius in the 5th house of entertainment and a light heartedly friendly Jupiter in Gemini in the 11th – both of which help to pull him away from his immensely deep feelings.

He also lost he and Kelly’s teenage son in 2009 who was epileptic and autistic.

His Black Moon Lilith (BML) in his 4th house of family is exactly conjunct Kelly’s Libra Sun which seems prescient. She also had an emphasised Neptune square her Saturn which opposes her Mars – and  was always a committed Scientologist.  That’s somewhat similar to Tom Cruise born three months earlier in 1962 who also has a focal point Neptune in Scorpio.

Travolta has said he is more familiar with death than most so will cope though he’s taking time out to grieve. He will get a boost from his Solar Arc Jupiter conjunct his Pluto in late 2021, but there’ll be a fair amount of emotional turmoil before then with tr Uranus opposing his 4th house Saturn and tr Pluto square his Neptune and conjunct his Chiron next year.

Benjamin Keough – fame casting a dark shadow

Benjamin Keough, grandson of Elvis and son of Lisa Marie Presley has died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds, aged 27. He grew up in the overheated atmosphere of the most famous celebrity family of all time with a chaotic mother, who married his musician father for five years, then skipped on unbelievably to Michael Jackson, then a two month marriage to Nicholas Cage and finally a 10 year marriage to a music producer, with whom she is now fighting a custody battle for their twin daughters citing child pornography as a reason for denying spousal support.

Benjamin, born 21 October 1992 7.46am Tampa, Florida, was a Sun Libra with a volatile, highly-strung Mars in Cancer opposition the obsessive Uranus Neptune in Capricorn; with his Mars in a frustrated, angry trine to Mercury Pluto in Scorpio which in turn was in an unyielding and can-be-depressive square to a 4th house Saturn. His wannabe-grand Leo Moon was in an emotionally intense and overly controlled square to Pluto Mercury. He would take everything to heart and tend to be pessimistic or even apocalyptic in his outlook.

None of the family have easy charts. Elvis, 8 January 1935 4.35 am Tupelo, MS, died 1977,  was a Sun Capricorn square Mars in Libra, opposition an 8th house Pluto square Uranus.  His Sun sat on top of Benjamin’s Uranus Neptune opposition Mars – so would be a heavy weight on his grandson’s shoulders. Even more so Elvis’s 8th house Pluto was square Benjamin’s Sun, pulling him deeper into the shadow of the King.

His mother Lisa Marie, has an 8th house Mars Moon in Pisces opposition Pluto Uranus; with a 7th house Sun Aquarius – so emotionally all over the place.  His father, with whom she has kept up friendly relations, Danny Keough, 6 November 1964, Chicago, is a Sun Neptune in Scorpio opposition Jupiter in Taurus; plus a tricky Mars opposition Saturn square Mercury in Scorpio – an odd mix of head-in-the-clouds and rigidly dogmatic.

Benjamin at present did look more neurotic, anxious and discouraged than usual with tr Neptune square his Sun/Saturn midpoint and opposition his Mars/Pluto; as well as the disruptive tr Uranus opposition his Sun/Pluto and tr Saturn conjunct his Saturn/Neptune – not on their own enough to tip the balance but added into his high-wire temperament did obviously become too much.

Glee TV – misery as well as merriment

 

Glee TV, which brought the sadly departed Naya Rivera to fame, has picked up chatter about the bad vibes surrounding the mega-successful show, with two previous deaths of cast members. Cory Monteith died of an accidental heroin and alcohol overdose in 2013 and Mark Selling suicided after being arrested in 2018 for child porn offences having already been accused on sexual battery charges. Recently Lea Michele was called out for bad behaviour on set and apologised; and had a strained relationship with Naya.  All sounds like tinsel town on steroids – or just more of the same old same old.

Glee was an American musical comedy-drama television series aired by Fox network from 2009 to 2015 with a young ensemble cast, which won multiple awards and sold many million singles and albums on the back of its success.

The pilot was aired 19 May 2009 (no time) which puts a Mercury Sun in Taurus conjunct the destructive Fixed star Algol square Neptune, Chiron, Jupiter in Aquarius. The better side of Jupiter Neptune is a love of music and art, an abundance of good feelings, though it can suggest being easily seduced, overly impressionable – it’s not damaging, just not grounded. Neptune in hard aspect to Mercury Sun is good for music and Jupiter for luck and an over-the-top-quality.

Apart from Algol, the chart itself isn’t too scary. Though the 5th Harmonic is brutal linking Mars Saturn to Mercury Pluto to Neptune Jupiter. 5H can be sensationalist, indulgent, irresponsible. The 10th Harmonic, which suggests a rise and then fall in fortune, is even more so with a deadly Mars Pluto Saturn linked to Neptune – and that is perverse as well as ruinous. The final season was announced after Cory Monteith’s death.

Mark Salling post January 31 2018

Actor/singer Mark Salling, best known for Glee, committed suicide while facing sentencing for gross child pornography charges which would likely have sent him to jail for seven years.

Born 17 August 1982 Dallas Texas, he was a Sun Leo trine Neptune, sextile Pluto Saturn in Libra – creative, flamboyant and hard. He also had an exuberantly determined Mars Jupiter in Scorpio square his Venus in Leo and maybe a Leo Moon; with his Venus (Moon) trine Uranus. Venus square Mars can be insensitive to the needs of partners and he had faced two sexual assault charges previously. Mars in Scorpio can be sexually obsessed and vengeful.  It’s not an especially brutal chart but much will depend on houses which we don’t know without a birth time.

He was brought up in a strictly religious home, home-schooled in the early stages. These kinds of inclinations almost always stem from early damage and dysfunction in relation to the primary caregiver.

His midpoints show illusions and delusions with his Sun square his Neptune/Pluto midpoint and his Pluto conjunct his Sun/Neptune – so a huge amount of inner confusion. And tr Uranus had been on the opposition to his Sun/Neptune from early December through this month.

Child pornography, while it appears less heinous than actual abuse, is not a victimless crime. Either he was stuck in a repetition compulsion from his own inner fantasies; or he lacked empathy which can be a Neptunian failing.

Cory Monteith post 14 July 2013:

Cory Monteith, the Canadian actor best known for Glee, who had a drug and substance abuse problem since his teens has been found dead. Born 11 May 1982 in Calgary, Canada, he was a Sun Taurus inconjunct Saturn Pluto so bleak, strained. His Venus in Aries opposed Mars and Saturn and squared onto a Cancer North Node – so again emotionally out of kilter, rather tortured; and a sharp-witted though highly strung Mercury in Gemini opposition Uranus. Plus Mars square Neptune Moon (Sagittarius or Capricorn) so more emotional confusion and aggravation. His parents divorced when he was 7.

His chart has an oddity in that Saturn and Pluto are 8 degrees apart with the Sun exactly inconjunct the midpoint. His Mars Saturn are 16 degrees apart with Venus exactly opposition their midpoint. And Mercury is 8 degrees in opposition to Uranus.

This year tr Pluto and tr Uranus have been hitting on his Mars/Saturn midpoint so it was an accident waiting to happen. Plus tr Uranus is exactly opposition his Mars/Pluto as well at the moment which is very risky.

Christopher Steele – opting for a life on the high tight-rope

Christopher Steele, the former Brit intelligence officer, author of the controversial ‘dirty’ dossier on Trump’s alleged Russia connections, is back in the firing line. Trump is calling for his extradition since he blames him for instigating the Russia probe – though the Republican Congress report found there were other reasons. A recent court case found Steele’s firm guilty of data breaches with respect to two Russian oligarchs mentioned though they received miniscule amounts and the judge said it had not been Steele’s doing to make the report public. Steele has said he only became embroiled overall because he was alarmed at what he was hearing about Trump and Russia (all hotly denied). As ever it was a standard secret intelligence report based on sources, not hard evidence.

Robert Mueller has broken his silence after the commutation of Roger Stone’s sentence saying: “Russia’s actions were a threat to America’s democracy,” Mueller wrote. “It was critical that they be investigated and understood.” Steele said he was disappointed by the Mueller report. He criticized it for being ‘too narrow’ and failing to follow up on crucial evidence.

What’s a touch disconcerting – or maybe not – is to find that Steele was born, 24 June 1964, two days after Dan Brown (master conspiracy theorist of Da Vinci Code fame) and five days after Boris Johnson – see Ramblers & Mythmakers post 2 July 2020.

Like Brown, Steele has an early Cancer Sun and North Node which was rattled by the June Solar Eclipse setting up a crisis or two in coming months. And he has the scattered, excitable Mutable T Square of Uranus Pluto in Virgo opposition Saturn square Mars in Gemini, plus Venus Mercury also in Gemini. He almost certainly has a Sagittarius Moon. To top it all off he has Jupiter in Taurus opposition Neptune – which can be idealistic, wildly optimistic or overly-impressionable, with a tendency to speculate and be misunderstood by others.

He’s been under high stress since 2016 and on with more stretching ahead till late January 2021 with various Neptune and Pluto hard aspects to midpoints. And the December Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius will oppose his Venus Mercury for an upset or two. But he looks much more upbeat and into a luckier phase from late January 2021 onwards with only a few ripples thereafter – which may be other factors in his life since he clearly has opted for an adrenaline-rush existence.  Exactly now the July Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn is opposition his Progressed Mars and maybe conjunct his Progressed Moon stoking up a scare or angry words.

His relationship chart with Trump with a composite Venus Mars in the firing line of last week’s Lunar Eclipse and a composite Mercury picking up the June Solar Eclipse was always due for an outburst now; with tensions from late this month till the election with tr Saturn opposition the composite Uranus and square Neptune. The December Solar Eclipse will also rattle the composite Sun and confusion will reign through 2021/22.

It may all just be a vindictive flash-in-the-pan from Trump’s gnat-attention-span Twitter brain; and Mueller’s intervention will help Steele. But no doubt Steele will be able to breathe more easily when Trump flits off into the ether. Though he won’t just have Trump to worry about, the threat from the Russian side has been and no doubt will continue to be real.

Brooklyn and Nicola – a match made in Instagram heaven

A glitzy treat is in store for 2021 for any still enamoured of obscenely wealthy displays of opulence as photographer Brooklyn Beckham announces his engagement to billionaire’s daughter actress Nicola Peltz. A UK and a Florida double wedding extravaganza is promised with his parents, former footballer David and fashion designer Victoria, both major tabloid celebrities, wanting to chip in and saying they are  delighted at his choice.

In the present climate I’d ignore it but the relationship chart is interesting.

Brooklyn was born 4 March 1999 7.48pm London and has a hard-working Pisces Sun (sign of the photographer) which is trine a heavyweight and emotionally mega-intense Mars in Scorpio in his financial 2nd – there’ll be nothing of the wimpy Pisces about him when it comes to making cash. His Mars squares onto a 5th house Uranus making him uber-resistant to interference, attracted to an adventurous lifestyle and disliking compromise. Uranus in Aquarius in the 5th could suggest adopted or step-children somewhere along the way.

His charming and upfront Venus in Aries in his 7th is in a seductive and passionate trine to Pluto and opposition a sociable Libra Moon in his 1st; with Pluto also in a confident and persuasive trine to Mercury and Jupiter in Aries.  He also has Saturn in Taurus in his 7th, suggestive of an older partner and a marriage requiring hard work.  His Saturn is in a creative/neurotic square to Neptune.

He does have his Solar Arc Sun conjunct his Descendant in 2021 putting him in the frame of mind for a committed relationship; and his Progressed Moon is moving through his ambitious 10th house for another year. Though he has a fair amount of family and domestic turmoil from the Saturn Pluto conjunction moving through his 4th until late 2021.

Nicola Peltz, 9 January 1995 New York is the daughter of a financier and is a highly-strung and ambitious Sun Capricorn conjunct Uranus Neptune with a Mutable T Square of a disciplined Mars in Virgo opposition Saturn square a fashion-biz, glamour-type Jupiter Venus in Sagittarius. Her Moon is Aries/Taurus – maybe square Uranus Neptune or square Mars. So she’ll be quite a jitterbug emotionally though used to putting up with difficult circumstances with Mars Saturn.

The synastry isn’t that great though a Capricorn and a Pisces Sun is a relatively common match and they both have their Venus in a Fire sign so will like a splash of pzazz in their social and romantic lives. Her Sun, Uranus, Neptune fall in his 4th so their home life will be a constant drama; and her placatory Venus Jupiter is conjunct his Pluto for a sizzle of passion and power-couple ambitions; though she’ll need to suppress a need for choice since her Mars and Saturn both square his Pluto which will be aggravating.

The same combination of great and not so great are writ large in the relationship chart. There’s a an affectionate composite Sun conjunct Venus with Jupiter conjunct a lucky, adventurous Uranus Jupiter – plenty of good feelings and indulgent circumstances. And all of this is tied into a successful, easy-flowing Half Grand Sextile – but that is formed from a one-sided Mars opposition Saturn, which suggests a relationship in which one partner has to forego choices to make it work. That opposition is sextile Pluto and sextile Uranus Jupiter Venus – so quite a combination.  Will be fascinating to see how it operates in action.

Her father Nelson Peltz, 24 June 1942, does look fond of Brooklyn with a composite friendly Sun Venus in their relationship chart. David Beckham, Brooklyn’s dad also looks pleased with the new family member. Mother Victoria will put on a good act but seems less enchanted by the match. Her Aries Sun will not sit easily with Nicola’s Sun Uranus Neptune in square.

Naya Rivera – a family in mourning

Naya Rivera, the former Glee star, is missing presumed dead after she went swimming from a boat on Lake Piru north of Los Angeles leaving her four year old son asleep on board. The lake is known for hazardous conditions including whirlpools and there have been several deaths in recent years.

She was born 12 January 1987 1.56 pm Santa Monica, California to a fashion model mother, started acting when she was 4 and had also released albums.

She had a 8th house Capricorn Sun and Mercury with Neptune also in the 8th – so she would be intense with the ability to project an aura. Her restless Gemini Moon opposed a 7th house Uranus and Saturn in Sagittarius, not making it easy for her to settle in committed relationships. Her marriage to actor Ryan Dorsey, father of her son Josey, was tumultuous and short-lived though they shared custody when they split. Her lucky Jupiter in filmic/musical Pisces was in her career 10th house square her Saturn Uranus and widely square her Moon, so she would have had a chance at real success.

Her Saturn was exactly opposition her Chiron natally and her BML at 1 degree Cancer was caught head-on by the June Solar Eclipse.  Her Solar Return for this year was very blocked with the Sun, Saturn, Pluto, Mercury conjunction in the 8th as well as Jupiter.

What a tragic experience for a young boy though it’ll take time before what happened sinks in.  Josey Hollis was born 17 September 2015 and is a late Sun Virgo; with Mars in late Leo square Saturn in Scorpio, which square in whatever signs is often associated with tragic or violent death, not necessarily his but happening in his life. His Progressed Mars is moving to square that Saturn exactly over the next two years which will maybe when it starts to have an impact on him. He also has a controlled and controlling turbulent T Square of Mercury opposition Uranus square Pluto with his BML exactly square his focal point Pluto. His Chiron is catching the tr Neptune conjunction till the end of this year.

Her ex-husband, 19 July 1983, Ryan Dorsey, is a Sun Cancer square Saturn Pluto in Libra so not a great match for her Capricorn Sun. His Sun opposes his BML and his Chiron opposes his Jupiter – lives touched by fated events. His Mars in Cancer was opposition the Lunar Eclipse of July 5th, three days before the tragedy, which can coincide with a tremendous shock.
