I was never convinced that he was the genius that people put him out to be.

When I heard people praising him that he was, I just figured those people were fools.

Musk really was just taking advantage of groupthink.

Someone doesn't have to be a genius, he just has to convince one id*ot that he is.

Then that one id*ot will tell his friends and convince them too, then you have a group of id*ots believing it too.

Idk, everyday I really think society is getting dumber to be honest.

His Natal Mercury conjunct Ascendant and
Sun square Uranus pretty much sums up what I suspected of him.

He's just blunt, a bit unconventional, and above all else very pushy with what he wants..that's all.

Musk doesn't get a pay cheque from Tesla, otherwise he'd owe a lot of taxes.

He pays himself in stock options that are equal to what he would earn if he was paid a salary.

Then he takes a loan against the value of his shares.

If the stock price for his companies keeps dropping it will be a slap on the wrist for him, but it won't be the end of him.

He'll come up with another creative accounting scheme. It's all just virtual money anyway.

No billionaire actually has more then $400,000 in liquid/physical cash readily available or on hand at short notice it's all just digital money or tied to other investments.

Aimee Lou Wood. Her breakout role was on Sex Education (where I first watched her, how has it been six years already?), but she’s getting more attention for her recent role on The White Lotus.

Wood has long spoken frankly about her mental health, how she’s suffered with anxiety for much of her life. She has a disarming frankness about her vulnerability, in a way that’s almost incongruous – because she’s a very warm, relaxing presence, you could sit having coffee for hours, shooting the breeze about meal deals and discussing astrological moon signs, yet what you’re actually talking about is a life spent lurching from one near-nervous breakdown to another.

She grew up in Greater Manchester, going to school in Cheadle. Her mum worked for Childline and her father was a car dealer. She had an eating disorder when she was at school, and wasn’t really over it when she went to drama school and suffered the slings and arrows people so often describe: being told she’d have to drop her Mancunian accent and work on an RP one, feeling like her stance would never be right because she has scoliosis, which she’s said in the past contributed to her body dysmorphia. Cast in Sex Education straight after, she found the sudden exposure and scrutiny, physical and general, hard to take.

“I’d always felt a little like I had to be what people needed me to be, so fame was like that but blown up. It was weird. It was familiar, it was just bigger. But there was this pressure to be the sunshine. That’s who people wanted when they saw me as Aimee Gibbs. And I’m not the sunshine, I’m scared that I’m just sad and shy.”

She’s been thinking very deeply about that whole journey, she says, especially the aftermath of the first series featuring so much nudity. She appears in the opening scene naked, having sex. “I went in, thinking, this is my first TV job, just under a year out of Rada. I didn’t know it was going to be so big, but that opening scene – me, without any clothes on, and all of my stuff in season one was very sex-related – after that, I felt like I had to apologise, I didn’t even know what for. In the pub, most experiences were lovely, but also I’d get people telling me they’d seen my boobs. Even now, don’t search yourself on Twitter. I’ve learned that lesson.”

On social media, still, six years on, accounts keep reposting that first scene. “I don’t have regrets about doing it, but I have regrets about apologising for it,” Wood says, “just in a sideways manner, maybe not owning myself, or covering myself up. I did quite a lot of, I’m kooky and I’m going to hide. I went through the world like that for a while.”

It was worse after the second series, when Aimee Gibbs had a bigger role, and Connor Swindells – her co-star in that first scene – was, for a few months, her boyfriend in real life. It larded on extra tabloid scrutiny, as well as blurring all those lines further; who she was, who her character was, which one people were expecting when they saw her. “I used to hide a lot, behind a persona that I thought would keep me safe. But it actually doesn’t, it just makes you more fearful. I was always so scared, the madness is going to come back, and it’s going to get me. I didn’t realise I had a lot of say in that.”

Recently, Wood moved to be nearer to her best friend from drama school, and “within a week I felt more at home than I have for years. Just that sense of having a community. I know everyone. I know the people in the coffee shop, I know my neighbours.” She’s also started writing. Her next project is Film Club, her screenwriting debut, which she’s co-created with Ralph Davis, coming out later this year on BBC. “It’s about a girl called Evie who’s gotten overwhelmed with life, become fearful of the world, back home living with her mum. She’s rejecting reality, hosting a film club in a garage, escaping into cinema.” It’s described as a romcom but is quite an extreme one: its heroine is pretty much housebound with agoraphobia. “Evie isn’t me,” she says, “but I sometimes need to be forced to go out of the house.”

She’s also come to accept she’s not a person who deals well with chaos. “I am someone who is a bit fragile around madnesses, and it’s not my fault. My responsibility is looking after myself, and I’ve done so much that has been the opposite of that. Stupidly, in Thailand, I stopped going to therapy. I could have done it by Zoom. The time I needed to do it the most religiously, I stopped doing it. I know what works now, to keep the madness at bay. I have to go into therapy. Accepting who I actually am, I need therapy, stability, consistency. Maybe I can’t do jobs that take me away from home for seven months. And maybe that’s OK. I want to be the girl who can go to Thailand and not go mad,” she says, with an ironic, faux-childlike, yeah right kind of look, “but I’m not that girl.”

Vance can come across as a serious smart guy one minute, and the second- like a completely different character. Someone said every time he tries to be personal or funny he comes as creepy. Well, I still find him funny though 🤪
Like his recent comment about his wife what many thought to be sexism. But looking at their relationship history, I don’t think it’s the issue there.

Saturn was squaring his Sag Sun. He actually had his Saturn return last year-so it's likely that his health wasn't so good.

I find it interesting that Saturn is in Pisces when he passed. As Pisces/Sag are both affiliated with religion/spirituality. And he is the world authority religious figure (Sat) for the Catholic faith.

Add to this, he has Saturn Pisces in mutual reception with Jupiter in Cap natally. The poetry 🤔

Transit Plu square his Mc/Ic
Transit Mars Leo square Mc/Ic
Transit Sun conj Ic

They said he passed on from a cerebral stroke. On Google they say that the number 1 cause of a cerebral stroke is high blood pressure.

The Pope had transit Mars in his 1st house when he passed. It eventually formed an opposition with transit Plu.

Mars is connected with blood issues and inflammatory conditions that can cause strokes.

One would think he would have recovered with Mars in 1st house as the positives to it can also be life affirming by retaining one's vigour and strength. But in this case, it was not to be.

Progressed Sun in Pisces square natal Sun in Sag.

Progressed Sun conjunct transit Saturn on Pisces.

There has been a lot of furore around the casting of certain actors for roles in Hollywood blockbusters/series. More so the movies that die hard fans are strongly emotionally attached to.

Social media has played a huge role in giving fans of a franchise, access to a platform to voice their grievances. This in particular if a certain unfavourable actor is cast in a show/movie remake that they love.

I recall the huge backlash when Hayden Christensen was cast as "Skywalker" in "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith".

I am no "Star Wars" fan, but I just remember that people were not happy.

Then there was the even bigger fuss made when Hailey Bailey was cast as "Ariel" in "The little Mermaid". Most people remember that.

After that risky move,the 7 dwarves from the "Snow White " live version, had to be rethought (because they were deemed "woke").

Even Snow White casting of Rachel Zegler was not without its hiccups -as people felt she wasn't "pretty enough" (code for white) for the role.

From Google, the review of Snow White was really bad. But the movie is deemed a flop because (and I qoute): "In the end, Snow White flopped not because of Rachel Zegler, but because of a mix of creative missteps, poor communication, and an audience caught between wanting something new and clinging to what they remember"

That is little comfort to Rachel. As everybody online seems to be blaming her as the sole reason for it's failure.

I looked at all the actors who were caught on a similar backlash as Zegler. And I realized that they all had their natal Plu aspects triggered around that time.

Pluto tends to be quite intense. It can surface all sorts of emotions like rage, jealousy, thoughts of killing or being vengeful etc.

In people online it can manifest as racism, homophobia, fat shaming, sl** shaming, ageism etc. And all that will depend on who the target celeb is.

Hayden Christensen- Merc/Mars/Sun/Venus stellium opposite Plu in Libra. The movie "Revenge of the Sith" was released on the 19th of May 2005. Transit Cancer/Leo was squaring this stellium opp natal Plu.

Hailey Bailey-Merc/Venus square Plu was stimulated by additional transit Saturn square to natal Plu on the 26th of May 2023

And now Paapa Essiedu(whom this entry is about lest we forget 🤣 ) has natal Venus in Tau opposite Pluto square North node in Aqua.

Warner Brothers announced its intention to recast in an effort to "stay true" to what the fans and the original intent of the writer of the books was.

All this shouting and screaming with Paapa receiving the role as Snape, has transit Mars in Leo/Plu Aqua triggering the above mentioned natal positions.

It looks like (in his case) he may not even get to play Snape at all. And interestingly enough, transit Uranus is conjunct his natal Mercury in Tau (ruler of his Sun) right now.

Paapa has probably had to endure a lot of delays in his life. He is a very patient person who can bear the brunt of not being favoured and take the heat.

He has Saturn/Moon in tough and professional Capricorn. Uranus is also opposing exalted Jupiter Cancer ( reversal of fortune or interruptions towards those ends).

This is also indicated by Saturn in Cap whilst Jupiter in Cancer wide opp in his chart. Saturn will limit or delay the advancement of Jupiter.

On one hand it could be shielding Jupiter the weight of premature expansion when not ready. But to the native concerned, it feels like 💩

I think his success may come later in life. And hopefully that transit Jupiter conjunct his Sun in Gemini will help soften the blow by giving him a more optimistic outlook in the future.

This phase of his life will be quite testing. This backlash(similar to Hayden) is quite discouraging. One can end up rethinking their career path and opt out.It happens.

Plu will move to square his Ven/Plu in latter years. So the sting of this rejection may linger on and affect his self esteem.

I hope he gets that one role that redeems him in people's eyes and he doesn't disappear off into background (as Plu often can do).

There is the coming transit of Jupiter in Cancer (his Jupiter return ) that will oppose that erratic Uranus and stiff Sat/Moon. We may get some surprises from him or a comeback story like no other.

We have tornado weather, and I'm getting ready to move if I need to (we: dad, and my pets too).

I want to see the movie "Sinners". I only heard about it, once it was released. I can't afford to go to the movies at the moment, but I'm hoping to catch it in the theatres. The movie is a hit.

Birth time unknown. Sun is 2*Gemini, Moon is 1*Sagittarius, with the unknown birth time. Neptune is sextile his Sun, and trine that moon. Uranus will reach his Sun soon, too.

This is happening now. But there is polarization and backlash over her role in the whole fiasco.

Transit Sun in Gemini is conj the Ic.

The retro transit Plu on his Asc is demolishing the false image projected. But i also see that transit Neptune is conj natal Moon and now transiting Saturn is arcing to hit natal Moon.

Last(but not least) we have transiting Uranus arcing to conjunct the Ic Gemini (where his Sun is).

This is man who has a very private personality. He likes to live from home. I even think he was holding his show from home.

What I find very interesting is that ruler of the 9th house(Law and order) is Mercury. Mercurty is in Gemini opposite to Jupiter right now. And the retrograde of Saturn will hit his Mercury by square.

This situation will definitely impact his life. Saturn on Moon (ruling the 7thhouse Cancer) too.

I didn't like the way that he broke up with Katie Perry. But Venus-Uranus square natives are awful and can be the type to suddenly ( and unanimously) leave commitments.

Uranus is also squaring Russell's Asc (activated by this Plu transit retro).So Russel is a bit of a wild card.

The Deputy President of the country has Sun Gemini square transiting Saturn. Since the President's departure, he is acting President until he(Ramaphosa)returns.

The temporary appointment to the country's head position is reflective of that Saturn transit.

I couldn't watch 🤣. I just found the whole thing too close to home.

I honestly hate that this country has to go explain itself to others on domestic affairs.

I also don't like that our leader's corruption spurs on the continuation of subsistence support from foreign countries.

We constantly fight to oppose being that stereotype.But the impact of lawlessness of those upper up(whom the President is aware of but continues to ignore)persists.

He is always going around sweeping up after other people's mess and kissing 🍑 -instead of exposing those who are corrupt.

In this country,we haven't seen him demonstrate his own initiatives outside of maintaining damage control left by his predecessors.

We have a lot of problems in this country. No doubt. But well fed Caucasian "refugees" who want to be treated as "more equal than everyone else" by pretending that crime ONLY affects them and fleeing to the US,is not one of them. And it annoys me that that is where the focus is right now🙆🏿‍♂️

Plus the notion of having our leader going out there to "answer" to another leader who doesn't care to know the deeper issues and is intent on simplifying the complex dymanics that we face down to " terrible things are happening to white people in SA",is so totally infuriating.

There is a loose bomb(Julius Malema) whom these issues of "killing the boers" was centralized around.

This man is all about propaganda and sweeping remarks. Nobody takes him seriously in this country as he has been known to insult everyone and anyone he disagrees with.

His call for pan-Africanism and the hostile expulsion of whites,is deeply ironic to us -given that the funders of his party include the late Queen mother and current King Charles(both white)🤷🏿‍♂️

We have no desire to racially discriminate or return to the days of old through "reverse engineering ".

But we are looking to redress injustices of the past that cause the majority of people to still live in poverty because of resources stolen from them.

However,I do try to not attach ego to such things. As I am not about flooding this forum with my own political views of our current issues. I want to maintain detachment (which I often have done).

But this situation just got closer to my heart. Nipped me in my crack.😡

He has apparently decided to desist trying to repair relations and now considers the rift between them "unfixable".

5th house is child issues. Anything to do with children is (in my experience) a 5th house issue.

What's interesting is that Brad has Jup in 5th house. So you'd think that the relationship with kids would be great- given the Jupiter is the great benefic and all.

But this isn't the case here.Jupiter is tightly squaring its ruler(Mars) and would suggest strife and(at worst) estrangement from kids.
