SEX ASTROLOGY QUICKIE – JOHNNY DEPP

'People' magazine has dubbed Johnny Depp “The Sexist Man Alive for 2009.” What makes Johnny the sexist man alive… in the eyes of movies goers? Let’s look at his chart…

Flying right at me like an arrow off the chart again is… the ‘Destiny’ formation, the ‘Yod’ or ‘Finger of God’… formed by two planets in Sextile (60 degrees), and then each of them in turn form Inconjunct (150 degrees) angles to a third planet. It looks like an arrow head or pointer on the chart.

The planet at the point of the arrow formation… is the destiny brought about by the two planets in sextile. The sextile planets define the possible method, path, events, etc. that lead up to the destiny that occurs sometime during the person’s life.

Not only does the Yod formation indicate this title but also the nature of the actor himself. Jupiter is at 12 degrees Aries and in sextile to his Sun at 12 degrees of Gemini… beautifully expressed in the various characters that Johnny portrays in film… fiery, dynamic, inspirational… a very fortune aspect that supports a versatile and brilliant actor.

…and then the two benefic planets Sun and Jupiter point to Neptune (rules film arts) at 13 degrees of Scorpio (within one degree orb = valid aspect)… and Scorpio is the sign most associated with… sex.

Ergo, destined to be the film world’s “sexist man alive”… twice now.

SEX ASTROLOGY QUICKIE – CARRIE PREJEAN

Blunt comments and hasty actions may cause many sudden changes in Carrie’s life… the first aspect of trouble that I notice in her natal chart is Mars (energy, action, anger, passions) at 25 degrees of Gemini (speech, communication) in opposition to natal Uranus (sudden, shock, rebellion) at 26 degrees of Sagittarius (blunt).

You may not agree with her opinions… but you will know her opinions! …and it was her opinion against same-sex marriage that was jumped on by the ever so politically correct sharks …even some gay leaders admitted that she was entitled to her opinion and didn’t feel threatened by what she said.

…and now the masturbation sex tape scandal … With Mars in Gemini she’s active and curious… and with Venus in Aries sextile to Mars she can be delightfully aggressive if she likes you… and trine to Uranus in Sagittarius… it may be another of her rebellious adventures… and if she doesn’t get her way, with Moon in Scorpio …you will know about it, and it may be put to you a tad harshly… and Moon in opposition to her Sun in Taurus can explain her occasional stubborn moodiness.

On the positive side… she has a gang of easy trines and sextiles… to her Venus that also conjuncts Jupiter at 17 degrees by a wide orb… enough good luck to already be famous at the age of 22… and if she can balance out her opposition energies… flow with the trines, and sextiles… she can be quite successful at modeling clothes and dating professional athletes… and currently being a co-hostess for GOOD MORNING SAN DIEGO, KUSI-TV

…and perhaps with the Mars energy in Gemini (communication) a best selling author… and at 22 she is already published, with her accounts of her harassment by the media, STILL STANDING… and now she’s pals with Sarah Palin.

She does make the efforts… entering the pageant… taking advantage of the luck of attractive genetics by modeling… going to college and learning how to write… using the breaks and getting into television… and effort is what makes the trines and sextiles work for you.

The recent and on going square that transiting Uranus is making to her natal Uranus is the ‘youthful rebellion’ transit that we all go through in our twenties (84 year orbit divided by 4 = 21 …and 4 divided into 360 degrees = 90 degrees a SQUARE angle.

However, in her chart transiting Uranus is also squaring her natal Mars, thus making a very stressful ‘T Bar’… and thus a ‘sudden shocking’ (Uranus) scandal (Neptune) and Uranus is in Pisces which is ruled by Neptune, and Mars (sex)… and Uranus rules video tape… ergo, some problematic naughty video from the past bubbles up from the Neptune depths of Pisces… scandal.

It’s all so silly… most of us silly people have made naughty pictures with our video toys at one time or another… the problem is if you don’t erase them after you had your fun with them… they have a way of being ‘found’… especially if you’re a publicly prominent person.

ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS – RIHANNA AND CHRIS BROWN

No birth time, Noon style synastry chart

The first thing that I notice in Rihanna’s natal chart is the infamous natal Venus in square to natal Neptune… the same as we saw in Monica Lewinsky’s chart… which is an inclination to project far more into a relationship with a significant other than is actually there… which eventually leads to disillusionment… as the reality of the significant other rears its ugly head and shatters the illusion…

…and we see that potential and erratic demon in Chris Brown’s natal Mars that is in opposition to both of the malefic planets …Saturn and Uranus… and Neptune as well.

What sets them off? …they tend to push each other’s buttons. Both of their natal Mercury locations square the other’s Sun location… constantly argumentative on both sides… not compatible.

Also Chris’ Mars at 4 degrees of Cancer is in opposition to Rihanna’s Saturn and Uranus… both goading type of influences on both sides… and the theme repeats as their mutual Mars locations oppose one another… attraction but not compatible. Chris’ Sun at 15 degrees of Taurus is in opposition to Rihanna’s Pluto at 13 degrees of Libra… clash of wills, one tries to dominate the other… not compatible.

Since they are approximately the same age… they both have the triple conjunct of Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus in Capricorn. Rihanna’s natal Sun is in Sextile to this group… thus a potentially Pop entertainer… and Chris’ Sun is trine this same group… thus potentially… some compatibility with each other… and his inclination as a Pop entertainer.

Show business got them together… and their personal lives drove them apart… and to the point of violence… in Rihanna’s own words, “It can happen to anybody.”

I applaud her self examination and honesty… and would only add, …‘especially to those who have harsh aspects between Venus and Neptune in their natal charts.’ ...simply be aware of it and choose wisely…

…solutions? With knowledge of the problem… as your astrologer may help you see… one can by ‘free will’ choice re-direct these energies into something more fun, therapeutic, and harmless… In Rihanna’s case, she might try a pastime relaxing hobby, or a class in pottery (Earth/Capricorn/Cancer/Water, Mother Earth… all potentially natural healing forces)… learning to center a ball of clay on a potter’s wheel… and then to pull up a bowl, pot, vase… just whatever Neptune inspires…

Thus, the stressful energy is released by meeting the challenges (square) of the art (Venus/Neptune)… and that physical challenge and release constructively creates a harmless, perhaps even beautiful, and useful… pot. This is a better and safer release of the square energies than bummer relationships …that can end in unnecessary violence and disaster.

And for Chris? One of our country’s legendary navel heroes, Admiral Farragutt (‘Damn the torpedoes!’) had natal Mars (war) square to natal Neptune (sea, navy)… In that same vein… natal Mars in opposition to Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus… would be ideal for a Navy SEAL commando (Neptune/Mars) who beats up enemies and blows up their stuff (Mars/Saturn/Uranus)… This would be a harmonious expression of the energy, in that they serve their country honorably.

Or as an entertainer, like Chris… maybe take some time off and learn scuba diving (Uranus/Neptune activity)… and learn spear fishing (Mars/Uranus/Neptune)… an active good exercise, therapeutic, fun, harmless… well, maybe not for the fish… expression of the energy… or maybe join an amateur water polo team… active harmless release is the objective… instead of beating up one’s girlfriend.

Squares are squares …most of us have one or two or more in our natal horoscope. They are our challenges… and our potential growth. It’s all a matter of self knowledge, acceptance of oneself and others, and more harmonious choices… and thus, spiritual evolution. How do you choose to express these energies?… They will… and do… flow through you… and your life experience… one way or another.

HISTORICAL POLITICAL SEX SCANDAL… JOHN AND REILLE…

This is a classic study in “squares”… as they relate to synastry charts and relationships with intimate significant others (did I get that politically correct?...) At least one of these two… if not both… are of course wishing they had never met.

The first aspect that jumps up from their synastry chart and smacks me in the eye is her natal Venus at 14 degrees of Taurus square to his natal Uranus (by a wide 7 degree orb) at 21 degrees of Cancer.

From the reference book, The Astrology of Human Relationships,

“A’s [Reille] Venus Square B’s [John] Pluto – This comparative combination indicates strong sexual attractions… This is not a good combination for business enterprises…”

…and that’s how it began …John hires her to produce a behind the scenes video documentary of his political campaign… mixing business and pleasure… rarely a good start of a relationship.

…add to that her natal Mars at 23 degrees of Pisces square to his natal Mars at 27 degrees of Gemini …from the same text, again the theme repeats,

“A’s Mars square B’s Mars - …Romantic and marital relationships can be based on a desire for sexual gratification rather than genuine love. This is not a good combination for professional or corporate business partnerships.”

More from the text… Reille’s Moon in Gemini square John’s Mid Heaven, and the themes repeat again as to business and pleasure… and the results…

“…There can be conflict between the native’s domestic and career ambitions, and there can have serious disagreements over family and domestic matters. The emotional instability of the Moon individual [Reille] can hamper the career efforts of the Mid heaven individual, hurting status and prestige.”

…she did that …somewhat, I would say… Why would two people even try to deal with all this squared up mess? …again, aspects …her Moon conjuncts his Mars… “…It can indicate sexual attraction, but is no guarantee of compatibility….”

…another interesting aspect is her natal Venus in John’s 11th House (rules friends, associates) opposition Neptune… and her natal Neptune (film, video producing) is in John’s 5th House (creativity… and children). And now the full cycle is revealed as the transiting Jupiter approaching Neptune conjunction tightens and reveals… the not so big secret… and scandal… John admits to being the father of Reille’s love child…
