Kevin Spacey

[Jim Eshelman]

A couple of people this week have started the conversation, "Do you think Kevin Spacey is ruined?"

Frankly - depending on one means by the question - I don't. For one thing, he's worth about $50 million according to Forbes, so he could stop working and be anything but ruined (if you mea "personally ruined"). And his talent and history are such that he probably isn't professionally ruined, though this will surely take a giant bite out of him (film makers will be better positioned to tell him he's "damaged goods" and skip over him; before, people could have lost their jobs for not hiring him).

He was born Jly 26, 1959, in South Orange, NJ, hour unknown. I really wish we had a birth time on this one, because his solunars would be quite telling. But let's go with what we know.

He has a Cancer Sun and probably a Pisces Moon (though it could be in Aries; I'm picking Pisces based on the types of roles in which he has flourished). His primary aspects are a Sun-Neptune square, Mercury-Uranus conjunction, and a (probably partile) Mars-Pluto conjunction in Leo closely trine Saturn. These aspects not only describe some of his best characters (certainly the "House of Cards" character that has won him acclaim in recent years), but also Kevin the man (according to long-term reports of people around him).

Neptune has been criss-crossing the opposition to his Venus over the last year or so. What I find interesting is that Jupiter exactly conjoins his Neptune right now - an aspect usually known absolution found amidst embarrassment, as when one is bailed out of debt or given a clean slate for other kinds of scandal - exactly where he finds himself.

Longer-term, perhaps the most telling ting this that Saturn slips over the border into it's long-term residency in Sagittarius this weekend, and is soon going to complete his second Saturn Return. This means halting for personal reassessment and new direction.

Because of these last two transits (and that $50M in the bank), I think he's going to be far more "fine" than most people currently would like him to be.

On his birthday, Sun exactly conjoined Mars, so he has this aspect partile in is Solar Return regardless of his birth time. I'd also be quite surprised if this summer's Jupiter-Pluto square weren't prominent for him, either by falling on the SSR angles or his natal angles.

Such terrible news about these sexual predators.
I remember seeing this Mars-Pluto symbolism in such charts. Woody Allen comes to mind, he has a partile Mars-Pluto opp right on his Vx, and I remember Linda Lovelace who opened up later in life about being a victim of sexual abuse and predators had either her angle progress to Mars-Pluto or Mars pr. to Pluto when that happened in her life.

Harvey Weinstein also has this partile Mars-Pluto symbolism, in his chart it is a square.
Roman Polanski has this same Mars-Pluto square.

Yes. Quite typical for both sides of power struggles in general, and power struggles involving sex in particular.

Interesting. Out of curiosity I looked at the charts of a bunch of people I know to see if a Mars/Pluto aspect was there. Didn't find it.

I also ran it for Ted Bundy. Found an exact trine.
