Will Smith Astrology, Acting out at Academy Awards

Mercury In Aries- war of words, Academy Awards- Will Smith smacks Chris Rock over a joke at his wife Jada Pinkett-Smith’s expense.

WOw, the slap that was heard around the world. I’ve heard white people are not allowed to comment on this as it is between black men.

As an astrologer i want to help everyone understand themselves better and why certain things happen the way they do. Everyone was shocked but if you understand astrology it makes perfect sense and why now.

I understand that Pinkett-Smith has alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes her hair to fall out so she is embracing a bald look.

Chris Rock as an MC was making fun of couples at the Oscars, he said he loved Jada first, then said looking forwards to G.I. Jane 2 a reference to having a buzz cut. Will Smith laughed, Jada was obviously not pleased. Then Will gets up comes up to Chris and smacks him across the face. Chris is stunned and says Oh Wow Will Smith just smacked the shit out of it. Everyone in the audience is stunned and thinks this is a joke.

Smith is yelling at Rock to keep his wife’s name out of his expletive mouth. Rock defends with it was a G.I. Jane joke and Smith repeats the keep my wife’s name… Rock says OK dude I will. Then says OK. that was the most exciting Academy Awards ever and continues on totally professionally and gives out the nominees for documentaries.

Will Smith then wins an Academy Award for King Richard and goes on a tear-filled rather messianic speech, apologizing to the Academy saying Love makes you do crazy things but doesn’t apologize to Rock.

Chris Rock is a good few inches shorter than Smith but sure can take a slap in the face in stride. Born Feb 7, 1965, at 10:00 am Andrews, SC, Rock is a unique individual.

Chris Rock’s SUN at 18 Aquarius had a transit of MARS-planet of punches and anger sitting directly on it. Aries is Rising rules the head, ruled by Mars Retrograde at 27 Virgo. His Moon at 27 Aries, PLUTO is still squaring his MOON. Will and Chris share many similar aspects. 

I am just going to comment on Will Smith’s astrology and add in asteroid Academy for the awards and asteroid Rockn for Chis Rock. Let’s look at what’s going on with Will Smith.

Will Smith Astrology, Natal Chart , Academy Awards March 27, 2022, transits for The slap heard around the world.

Will Smith is a charming socially connective, needs to be in a relationship Libra born with some pretty touch aspects with the Sun conjunct his SOUTH NODE and  SATURN RETROGRADE in his 12th HOUSE opposite to his MERCURY and VENUS at the 29th degree of LIBRA in his 6th House of work and service. Offest by a lucky Jupiter Pluto conjunction + Uranus in his 5th House of creativity, WILL power, giving love and children. It’s still in VIRGO and relates to staying humble and hard work and perfectionism. Will has had an incredibly successful career as a musician, actor and producer. 

Will has CHIRON the WOUNDED HEALER at 0 ARIES the first sign of the Zodiac opposite his I need you to like me sign of relationships, charm and social status. He is definitely much more vulnerable and defensive than he lets on. Obviously, his public life defensive wounds were seen around the world.  

Interestingly Will Smith’s birth numerology adds up #4 He is the King or Emperor and finally wins an Academy award for King Richard. 

Smith finally publically apologized to Chris Rock on March 28 for slapping him and saying how being violent is wrong i a world of love and that’s he’s a work in progress. The Academy and SAG will still have to weigh in on his behaviour.

With Asteroid Academia #829 conjunct Will Smith’s South natal Karmic Node of Fate it looks like he will be parting ways with the Academy.

Will Ferrell’s Ron Burgundy appears on 6 late-night shows on the much-ballyhooed Lions Gate 8/8. That’s quite a feat. He has Jupiter in LEO. LOL The much-loved comedian and actor has always been one of my faves since way back in his SNL days. I loved him doing the cheerleader routines. I’m a double Sagittarius and I have always loved comedy. My dad was a classic joke teller. My husband collects jokes. Of Course, Elf is a classic Christmas movie now.

What sign would you think Will Ferrell is? A  fast-talking quick-thinking Gemini? A Sagittarius? the Sign associated with good humor?

 

 

 

 

 

Will Farrell is…drum roll please.

A sensitive sentimental Cancer underneath his funnyman armor born July 16, 1967, with Mercury Retrograde in Cancer too. He is a hard-working perfectionist Virgo Ascendant with Venus in the 12th plus Pluto conjunct his Ascendant this is where he gets his detailed underworldly qualities which he brings to his characters. Will has Uranus in Virgo too in his 1st house but close to his ascendant. Hi Gemini MC his worldly career point makes him very versatile, charming, heady, a trickster, of course. Will also has a very powerful imaginative, creative, shape-shifting Moon Neptune conjunction in Scorpio trine to his Sun. Jupiter is in LEO he is a born star, Mars in late Libra, Saturn in Aries. Will’s North Node is 3 degrees Taurus and Uranus crossing that has had him electrifying the podcasts airwaves of late.

Charm anyone, Mercury Trines Jupiter,13:13

A lovely Air Trine between the MESSENGER of communications, magic, markets, thieves and tricksters with the magnanimous JOVIAL JUPITER June 13 at 13+ degrees of GEMINI/ LIBRA at 8:45 am PDT/ 11:45 am EDT/ 3:45 pm GMT.

Use this energy to sell anything to anybody. This is a lovely magical energy guaranteed to make any tongue-tied person speak easily.Use it to persuade someone to talk to you,or fall in love with you or travel with you. Talk your way into a big deal, a job or anything dealing with International affairs or justice.

This is great for comedy writers as Jupiter rules humor. Jupiter always brings optimism, positive energy, trust and faith.

If you are a writer this is guaranteed to open any writer’s blocks. Just tune into Jupiter’s energies and let the stories and dialogues come through you. 

It’s a big windbag, a long-winded tale, a dualistic never-ending story. It’s very flighty, the balloon is definitely going UP. 

If you have planets at 13 degrees AQUARIUS then you get to have a big fat Grand Air trine. 

Check out where 13 degrees GEMINI / LIBRA is in your natal chart for clues about what’s the best direction to use this energy personally with. 

FAMOUS CELEBRITIES Born with Mercury trine Jupiter:

Oprah Winfrey, Mercury in Aquarius trines Jupiter in GEMINI-of course!

George Washington also had it in Aquarius to Libra

Dennis Rodman has it from Gemini to Aquarius 

Remember MERCURY is opposite to LILITH at 13+ degrees SAGITTARIUS  

So conversing with the Dark Goddess now is strengthened. See yesterday’s article.

I find the #13 repetitions very synchronous as well. The # 13 is not unlucky. It is the number of moon cycles in the year. 13 is the number of the Goddess and fertility.

MERCURY SQUARES NEPTUNE @ 14 degrees PISCES @ 11:29 pm EDT

“The Dreamer” painting by Napoleon Brousseau 2015

Open up your mind’s eye and really learn to communicate. NEPTUNE is very strong in the skies now virtually stationary read to turn RETROGRADE JUNE 16 @ 14 degrees PISCES.  Sit and meditate on this energy. This is a doubly magical aspect uniting the mind and the emotions. The mental and spiritual bodies need to  merged into one. This is what Pisces does best. Just follow Beatle John Lennon’s instruction to Tomorrow Never Knows.

“Turn off your mind relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying

Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.

Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing

And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving

So play the game “Existence” to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning.”- 1966

April Fools for love, be in the now

It’s April 1st, April Fools day!  CELEBRATE!

RIDER WAITE TAROT TRUMP # 0 and #22 

Celebrated since 1300’s, the Romans’ had a special day called the Hilaria, thousands of years ago. Various culture’s always had a special day for tomfoolery, switching roles and playing practical jokes.

The Fool, is also the Joker whose symbol survives onto modern playing cards. The Fool is  a Trickster a very important archetype from many cultures. The God LOKI is a trickster God in Norse mythology. The coyote trickster tales of Native American  wisdom is another. He is a god and yet not, he can change genders, he often gets him or herself into a mess. He can be a clown teacher and we learn from the clown’s crazy antics, a coyote or the Fool’s mistakes. 

The trickster is known as Nezha in Chinese mythology carrying a cosmic ring around his shoulder. In Japan he is known as Kitsune.  Bugs Bunny, Wile E. Coyote, Kokopelli in South- West stories, Steve Martin in The Pink Panther character, Jerry Lewis’s comedy and many cartoons portray the trickster/fool archetype which we laugh at to laugh at ourselves. 

The Joker can also symbolize Death and treachery and have a very dark side like the villain in Batman, especially the one portrayed by Heath Ledger. 

The Fool emanates from the Top of the Tree of Life from the Godhead directly. He is like the planet Mercury, a mercurial always changing element. We can allow our minds to play tricks on us.

 The TAROT, that archetypal road to enlightenment has THE FOOL as its first and last symbol. Both zero and #22 a Master number.  Zero is the void, nothing, infinity, the circle, naught, no ego, no past, no future, being in the NOW. 

Traditionally the Fool in the Tarot is a young man in tattered clothing carrying all his worldly belongs in a tiny sack and stepping naively off of a cliff with a little dog {his instincts} biting at his heels. 

 The Trickster is a wounded and the whole child. He symbolizes the eternally young soul bravely entering a new incarnation carrying hardly any baggage.

Today Be the Fool, a Merry Prankster, a Joker, be a fool for love. Be a Fool because who really cares what other people think? be in the NOW. THE FOOL symbolizes enlightenment. 

Be The FOOL which is like the Inner child, naive, open, innocent. The Fool’s counterpart or shadow is the KING, The EMPEROR #4 which symbolizes power, authority, the leader, like Putin or Obama.

The King always had court jester’s by his side to keep him humble. In archetypal symbolism the FOOL is really the wise one, whose instincts and pure knowledge are wide open and untainted by expectations, whereas the Emperor is the ego, and can become over inflated with his own power and authority. 

ENJOY this day.  Act like an Idiot.

Steve Martin comedy is the best medicine astrology

I’ve been in love with Steve Martin  since his SNL days, in the white suit before his trademark premature white hair. He was the very first rock star comedian. He is one of my fave comedians of all time. My dad used to tell jokes all the time so there is that comedy/ daddy love thing.

Steve is as you might suspect -a Triple Leo- with Pluto conjunct Ascendant and SUN in the 1st house. He is a natural performer, STAR, child-like kid, big-hearted, slapstick, charismatic leader. Also a writer, a banjo playing art connoisseur.

His Mercury in VIRGO -is in its own sign, Very strong in his 2nd house of his resources conjunct JUNO, the feminine form of genius. He is a perfectionist, very organized, and has a great memory. He is a serious intellectual.

His Moon conjunct Lilith, Vesta and surrounded by Ceres in Scorpio right on his I.C.

He is a very private person who is very intense emotionally. Steve may feel deeply rejected deep deep down. He knows what he wants and he gets it. He likes to be in control. Women love him. He is a natural outlaw and a naturally great detective,knowing how to put his soul into everything he does.

VENUS conjunct SATURN conjunct the North Node in Cancer in the 12th house

Steve is very emotionally secretive and hidden. He draws on his own deep well of feelings. Very spiritual deep down is where his riches are.  He is an old soul. He loves beautiful traditional art, and is quite conservative. Steve was in a long-term relationship with fellow entertainer Bernadette Peters for many years, he has been married twice and became a father late in life. His home is his safe haven.

JUPITER in VIRGO conjunct Chiron conjunct NEPTUNE in LIBRA in the 3rd house of communications. Steve has most of his emphasis in the 3rd house of communications.

Jupiter rules comedy,and it is square to the Galactic Center. Steve channels his humour from a much higher perspective. He is a scientist with comedy. His own vulnerability is what makes Steve so naturally funny. He is a true artist and communicates his art with grace and style with  Neptune in Libra.

and MARS conjunct URANUS in GEMINI in the 11th. He’ a wild chaotic and crazy GUY!

Yes literally the description to one of his earliest SNL characters. Steve has a dual nature of course and is like a big kid. He is a team player and loves to collaborate. 

NUMEROLOGY #5

Steve is a number 5 in the Tarot, his personality and soul number. Interesting, the symbol of the POPE, Steve is the HIGH PRIEST of comedy.  Taurus ruled, it governs speakers, solid, resourceful, stubborn, earthy, grounded artistic people who work hard and need to speak their truth and listen to their higher selves in order to make life easy for themselves and be the spokesperson for God which they symbolize.

Not a complete list but OK

STEVE MARTIN comedian extraordinaire  

Lorne Michaels, Celebrating SNL40 Astrology

Thank you Saturday Night Live for making our lives funnier, richer and more enlightening for generations. SNL is celebrating 40 years of Television comedy broadcasts. I love comedy. Who doesn’t? I have always felt that comedy is the best medicine. You can sneak almost any satiric, ironic statement in through comedy in a way that is very effective. We need to be able to laugh at ourselves.

SNL cast for 40 years

 SNL has become a cultural icon. The show has nurtured and launched numerous funny people to stardom.  Bill Murray, Jimmy Fallon, Eddie Murphy, Tina Fay, Amy Poehler, Kristin Wiig, Will Farrell,  Adam Sandler, Billy Crystal, Mike Meyers, Dan Akroyd are just some of the cast members who make us laugh in so many ways. 

I think I started watching SNL in 1976. I have tuned in over the years off an on for many a Satuday night.

Behind SNL is the “God of comedy” producer  Lorne Michaels. Born in  Toronto, Canada, I went to the same High School as Lorne, Vaughan Road Collegiate and my older cousin Carol was in his class.

Who is Lorne Michael’s? What are the planetary influences behind his success allowing him to helm so much creativity for all these years. Since April 3, 2013 Lorne is also the executive producer of the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. 

Lorne said “comedy is so clear.”

Lorne is a SCORPIO born November 17, 1944 in Toronto as Lorne Lipowitz. I have no exact birth time so I am using noon for a famous public personality. Here’s his Natal chart with the October 11, 1975 transits of the very first broadcast of Saturday Night Live with the Not Ready For Prime Time Players. 

Scorpio’s love to be in control. Lorne has Mars, Scorpio’s ruling planet conjunct his Sun amping up his amazing  eagle eye ability to focus, hone in on and be in power. Lorne is confident, a warrior, a martial artist to whatever he puts his sites on and he can certainly be intimidating. He can be very volatile and has a big temper. For this noon chart the SUN where you shine the brightest, with Mars is in the 10th house of worldly fame. Lorne has always been fiercely driven to achieve his goals.

Where does the comedic ability come in? Glad you asked. Sagittarius is the sign of Humor. Lorne has the Moon in Sagittarius conjunct to Mercury the planet of communications. This makes him an excellent communicator, he graduated from University as an Enlish major in Toronto. Further strengthening his luck in comedy is the fact that Jupiter, the ruling planet of Sagittarius is squaring his Natal Moon from the sign of the perfectionist, detail oriented, hard-working Virgo. Yes comedic analysis is Lorne’s calling his vocation and he is a workaholic.

Lorne’s good-humored Sagittarius moon is also why he married into a comedic dynasty. His first wife, Rosie Shuster was the daughter of famed Wayne & Shuster comedy duo, another Canadian icon legacy. 

Lorne was destined to be off the wall, push the edges of comedy and be unique because he has the planet of weird, wacky, freedom loving, revolutionary planet Uranus in GEMINI opposite to his Moon. Lorne has that infamous Gemini-ish two sides to him. He stays very young because his mind is always open and questioning.  Lorne has always been analytically inventive, someone who pushes the edge emotionally and in communications, He is a strong person who has always marched to his own drummer, and been quite a wild card.

Lorne has a Cardinal T-square in his chart between Venus in Capricorn opposite Saturn in Cancer  in square to Neptune,which is also conjunct to Lilith at zero degrees of Libra.. He has always been very mature, disciplined and hard-working with Saturn opposite Venus. He is  practical and respects order.

Lorne’s Saturn in Cancer is conjunct to the U.S. Sun at 13 degrees, making him destined to work in the U.S. This makes him the patriarch and family nurturer and protector. Everyone who works for him is part of his family, although he expects respect and loyalty. Lilith conjunct Neptune is interesting. Neptune in Libra, a generational sign, is spiritually his gift is to be a go-between, an ambassador, a champion of the underdog and the taboo. He has also championed many women, who would have had no place to speak in society, Tina Fey acknowledged this fact about Lorne.

Lorne’s North Node in Cancer indicates he is to use his past life experiences of structuring, building and business acumen to nurture and provide a safe nurturing space for others. 

OCTOBER 11,1975 first SNL broadcast.

At the first SNL broadcast in 1975 the transiting planets, Pluto and Neptune were in an exact sextile at 9 degrees Libra/Sagittarius. Pluto rules the collective unconscious and Neptune the dreams, illusions, escapism, addictions, and the medium of film and TV. Sextiles are easy energy flow.

Transiting Pluto was conjunct to Lorne’s natal Neptune and Neptune was conjunct to his natal Mercury, Moon in Sagittarius bringing easy powerful benefits. Pluto also rules Scorpio’s amplifying Lorne’s abilities. Mercury Retrograde was also sextiling his Natal Moon Mercury combo. Mercury Retrograde by transit indicates the thinking out of the box, original mentality.

Pluto is the soul and Neptune the dream. SNL was born as these two planets were also in sextile to his Natal Pluto in Leo at 10 degrees. Pluto in Leo is leadership, royalty, self-expression, giving love. Its amazing in retrospect to see how the planets were perfectly aligned to assist Lorne and why it all came together at that time.

For the collective, Saturn and Uranus were also in an exact square at 1 degree Leo to Scorpio Uranus was also sextiling Lorne’s natal Venus.

Jupiter was in Aries at 2o degrees in 1975 trining Lorne’s Moon and his North Node at 19 degrees Cancer. 

The Moon was in Capricorn having just passed over Lorn’s Natal Venus. Capricorn Moon’s indicates staying power, longevity, weight. 

I will be watching the epic 3.5 hour 40th anniversary special. Will you too?

Pee Wee’s Playhouse is back. I know you are…

http://nyti.ms/1DdYfC7 from the New York Times by J. Hoberman Oct 15 2014 DVD 

Pee Wee’s Playhouse for the uninitiated after a ten-year wait is now available on BLU RAY from SHOUT! Factory

PEE WEE was and always will be a mind-blowing fun romp of an ambiguous anarchic totally artsy children’s Saturday morning show that was wholly original. Something visually creative is juxtaposed with something else and everything is moving. It perfectly captures that age’s art movement in the late 80’s. If you want to be a big kid and HEH HEH like Pee- Wee you’ve gotta steep yourself in the Playhouse.

Some famous Pee Wee-isms- “I know you are but what am i?”

 

Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens) and Miss Yvonne (Lynne Marie Stewart) on “Playhouse.” CreditShout! Factory

Some performers invent personas so boldly stylized that they refuse to break character, at least in public. Mae West was one. As were Harpo Marx and W. C. Fields. Stephen Colbert broke character only recently; but Pee-wee Herman -PAUL REUBENS  held on for years.

Like Mr. Colbert, Mr. Reubens used a regular television show as a vehicle for his invented personality: a manic, nerdy man-child in a too-small gray suit, red bow tie and lipstick. “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” (broadcast for five seasons, starting in fall 1986, in the Saturday-morning cartoon ghetto) was a fully realized private universe. It was also, as demonstrated by the complete 45-episode series and one Christmas special out on Blu-ray from Shout! Factory, a series of strongly conceptualized pieces. As packed as each episode is with outlandish props, linguistic pranks — many based on each week’s meant-to-be-screamed “secret word” — and running gags, PLAYHOUSE  is far too rich to binge-watch.

One of many Pee-weevian paradoxes was the instant popularity of Mr. Reubens’s hermetic spectacle, which made its debut, on CBS, the same month that Blue Velvet  David Lynch’s darker but not dissimilar exercise in personal fetishes and weird Americana, opened in movie theaters to an equally passionate response. “Playhouse,” which originally cost a sizable $325,000 per episode and was shot at first in a cramped SoHo loft, took viewers to a candy-colored world of sexual ambiguity and a realm of total anthropomorphism.

Every object was potentially alive: the window, the chair, the floor. The creatures who called the Playhouse home included miniature dinosaurs, sentient machines and a refrigerator of foodstuffs that enjoyed an ongoing fiesta. The mise-en-scène was wildly cluttered, and the show offered a veritable taxonomy of animation styles, combining puppetry, clay animation and video effects, while excerpting Depression-era cartoons on the living TV monitor, Magic Screen.

As Pee- Wee was an adult who acted like a child, so the “Playhouse” aesthetic blended high and low tech, the avant-garde and the vulgar. Art world precursors and analogues include Betty Boop, Red Grooms, the underground animator Sally Cruikshank, the midnight movie Forbidden Zone, East Village performance art, neo-Pop painters like Kenny Scharf, and Raw magazine (an early publisher of the cartoonist GARY PANTER, who was one of the show’s three original production designers).

The Playhouse was further distinguished by its racial diversity and frisky gender bending. Jambi the blue-faced genie (John Paragon) and the elaborately be-wigged Miss Yvonne (Lynne Marie Stewart), “the most beautiful woman in Puppet Land,” each in their way evoked drag performers. Dixie the cabdriver (Johann Carlo) and Reba the mail lady (a pre-law & Order S. Epatha Merkerson) were notably assertive women, while Cowboy Curtis (Laurence Fishburne) and the various hunky beach boys who drifted in and out of the Playhouse were bashful and flirtatious.

Occasionally suggesting a demented version of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” “Playhouse” had a remarkable capacity to be both progressive and regressive, sweet and risqué. No great stretch of the imagination is required to picture a revival of CABARET starring “Playhouse” denizens with a chortling Pee-wee himself as master of ceremonies. (A well-received version of the Playhouse did in fact come to Broadway in 2010.)

Not surprisingly, “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” quickly attracted the attention of academics interested in what was not yet known as “queer theory” or “gender studies.”

“Perhaps what is most unsettling about Pee-wee is the way he straddles the line between sexual knowledge and ignorance, as if he were somehow pre- and post-pubescent at the same time,” Ian Balfour wrote in one of three scholarly articles on “Playhouse” published in the special “Male Trouble” May 1988 issue of Camera Obscura: A Journal of Feminism and Film Theory. Perhaps it was this ambiguity that caused a career-stifling public outcry during the summer of 1991 when, with the show in permanent reruns, Mr. Reubens was busted for indecent exposure in an X-rated movie theater. Pee-wee was post-pubescent after all!

Evidently, Mr. Reubens grew tired of “Playhouse,” and the Shout! box is unavoidably front-loaded. Mr. Panter moved on after the first season; the original King of Cartoons and his herald, Dixie, soon departed as well. Many of the most memorable bits of business occurred in the show’s second season, including Pee-wee’s giant underpants, the pajama party during which he marries a bowl of fruit salad and the appearance of the friendless alien Zyzzybalubah.

The cast thinned a bit during the final three seasons. Jambi and the King of Cartoons receded while the more conventional performers Miss Yvonne and Cowboy Curtis became increasingly central. (Truly, having played a teenage Army grunt, a villainous Ike Turner and the guru Morpheus, as well as this Jheri-curled buckaroo, Mr. Fishburne is among the most versatile actors of his generation.) Still, the show remained remarkably consistent.

First telecast on Nov. 3, 1990, “Camping Out”is a great episode, featuring a real-time bathroom break, a cameo by Sandra Bernhard, a seeming glimpse of Big Bird in the fridge, and excerpts from two classic animations, Oskar Fischinger’s “Alegretto.” and Ub Iwerks’s “The Pincushionman” (a.k.a.”Balloon Land”). It is also the show in which Pee-wee throws caution to the wind: His camping trip with Cowboy Curtis is largely a single-entendre discussion of “wieners” and “buns.”

Shown two weeks later, the final episode, “Playhouse for Sale,” is even more self-reflexive. The secret word is “word.” Magic Screen functions as the host, while, confounded by the obtuseness of either Globey the globe or Pterri the pterodactyl, the ever-sunny Miss Yvonne nearly breaks character herself: “I think I’ve taken one too many trips to Puppet Land!”

My husband Napoleon worked on building the props for the first season in New York in 1986. He built CHAIRY and the Fridge and the animated food props. http://www.napob.com/#!press—pdfs

Almost the Saturn Return of Pee Wee’s first broadcast September 13 1986. Saturn was at 4 degrees of Sagittarius. The North and South Nodes were almost virtually reversed. Jupiter is now exactly trining where Uranus was then at 18 degrees of Sagittarius.
