nostalgic gemini

Now let’s take a look at her natal chart:

She was born under a Sag rising at 25 degs with a Scorpio Sun @ 29 degs (11H Placdius and 12H Whole Sign) and an Aries moon @ 19 degs (4H placdius and 5H WHS). Having both her sun and moon in traditional mars ruled signs does represent a sort of survivalist tendencies and defensiveness to the characters she tends to play especially in the Halloween films. Additionally, her 12H WHS sun is ruled by her leo 8H in placidius - she can easily show the depth and pain of the people she plays especially their trauma. Interestingly enough, she’s often seen describing these films around the trauma that her character experiences which is related to the 8H and also her own personal 12H placements (Her Scorpio sun, Jupiter and Neptune in Whole sign). In the later films, her character is seen to be more recluse and isolative which is representative of 12H placements usually.              

** Zendaya also has an 8H sun influence - her Virgo sun is in her 8H and it’s ruled by leo in the 7H and her most recent role in Euphoria as Rue deals with a lot of 8H issues as well**

Plus if we take degree theory into account, Jamie having a Scorpio sun at 29 degrees which is a leo degree could have helped her cement her stardom as a scream queen. Her character, Laurie, undergoes constant transformations and changes from the experiences she faces with the infamous Michael Myers (SPOILER ALERT: he’s her brother in the films AND funny enough Jamie has mercury in the 12th conjunct Saturn + mercury does rule siblings so it being in the hidden house aka the 12H is really ironic) Can you even imagine the experience of having a sibling that is a serial killer like that shit is so unsettling and isolating. Who can really understand the depth of having to experience that???

Now miss Jamie has a Sag rising but a Libra MC - if we take into account her iconic role and what her motivation is, Her libra MC and libra NN really shine. Laurie in the film was constantly striving to achieve justice for the crimes that Michael Myers committed and throughout all her halloween film appearances, this is what her general task in life seems to be aka the direction that the north node tends to point people towards. Her aries moon is also at a libra degree (19) so this further supports this. 

I’d like to note that when the first halloween film was released in 1978, she was in an 8th house profection year ruled by cancer (quick reminder: profection charts use traditional rulers and whole sign so even tho in placdius she has a leo 8th with her natal leo in uranus we still need to look at the whole sign with the traditional ruler)

     Cancer = home

     the ruler is her aries moon in 5th whole sign which is in martian ruled sign      and naturally the 8th house rules secret, danger, mysteries etc. In                    placidius, her moon is in her 4th showing she really had to be defensive         and protective of her home and family. In her 5th whole sign, she doesn`t        really get to enjoy any regular hobbies or activities neither can she really          do things she likes cause she’s constantly trying to be on the look out             and on guard to any possible dangers. Her aries moon trines her mercury       (siblings) which is in the 12th in pla. and 1st in WS. 

In pla. Her virgo pluto is in the 8th but in WS it’s in the 10th squaring by venus, mercury and her saturn. Jamie plays a character that has her reputation and goals constantly changed and forcibly transformed. The virgo qualities have her constantly trying to protect herself and solve her problems in more efficient ways and of course her character is the longest surviving victim of Myer’s violence. 

                                       Let’s get straight into this shit.

A little background info first : WGA announced a strike on Nov 2 ‘07 and the strike began on Nov 5th, the following Monday in attempt to gain increased funding for their writers which were significantly smaller compared to the profits that larger studios and producers in the country made. The strike was one of the longest for the guild and reportedly, the industry lost $500 million dollars to due productions stopping and forcing networks to show reruns.

The transits of that day (using Nov 5th when the strike actually started) that were most important were 

Saturn in Virgo at 6 degrees - as we know Virgo rules over workers and it’s ruling planet is mercury (writing). The double influence of Virgo with Saturn (limitations + larger organizations) showed there was some restructuring that needed to take place.

On the first day of the strike, Jupiter was transiting Sag at 20 degrees (20 = Scorpio deg = jealously / the writers were upset at the lack of funding they received compared to the other parts of the industry ) and moving towards Pluto which was also in Sag at 27 degrees (27 = Gemini = writing). They would make a conjunction in the sign sometime in mid December of that year. Jupiter and Pluto together ->  brought on a wave of upheaval which left plenty of productions put to a halt, productions that were viewed world wide (sag) and networks had no choice but to show re-runs of shows affected. Obvi, Jupiter expands everything it touches (good or bad) and unfortunately during the period the strike took place, not a lot of common folk realized the extent and depth of the issue.

Additionally, the north node was @ 3 degrees in Pisces (3 = Gemini + writing and Pisces = Neptune = film industry) was in opposition to Saturn. They felt a need for order in the workplace with Saturn touching the south node transit in Virgo.

And the cherry on top of the sundae, is the moon - venus conjunction in virgo that happened that first morning. 

In the beginning, Saturn was in the opposite sign of both Jupiter and Pluto’s transiting signs and by the time the strike ended, Jupiter and Pluto both went into Capricorn (Saturn's ruling sign) making a trine aka an easy aspect to Saturn in Virgo. The negotiations between the WGA and other party finally were agreed upon and the strike was able to end with rules and legislation (cap) that supported the writers (virgo). Remember Virgo traditionally rules the 6th house of work and its trine to the 10th house of career, public institutions trad. ruled by Capricorn.

As a writer myself, this is a big issue we can face. We watch actors like RDJ and the Rock earn $50 million for one movie and directors cashing in similar profits while the writers who create these stories have a greater chance of getting snubbed. They also are not really the face of the industry as that role is given to the prominent actors and filmmakers. Writers and other professionals in the industry are often forgotten and not visibly recognized. 

TL:DR /// All that Virgo energy came in and said nah we want some order in this shit 

                                                Now, the recent shit.

Early 2021, saw The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) came under repeated backlash and fire for the lack of diversity in their members and for an email sent by a now - former member of the HFPA that called the BLM movement a “racist hate movement”, to other members. In addition to other actions that were made by this former member ( I rlly wanna call him an ass***), they tried to take action by promising a reform that would bring in inclusive policies and more members of colour specifically black voting members. However, groups like NBC, Netflix, Amazon, WarnerMedia and others made arguments that the proposed changes were not enough to tackle the inclusion challenges in the industry AND it would not be completed soon enough to reflect in the 2022 GG broadcast. The HFPA ultimately decided to cancel the 2022 Golden Globes Ceremony and made this statement:

"change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right"

The HFPA made this history making decision on May 10 ‘21

This acc happened a day before the new moon in Taurus went exact. (note: the moon was in Taurus on this day as well) New moons represent new beginnings and Taurus is associated with - slow & steady. As a result of the arguments and concerns that were brought forward, the change that the HFPA thought was appropriate was actually going to take longer than they believed. Look back at the above quote [ needs time to do it right ] That’s very much Taurus new moon energy right there.

Saturn was transiting Aquarius at 13 degrees. 13 - Aries (first) aqua (groups of ppl specifically marginalized communities) This was the first taste of karmic actions that organizations such as the HFPA have to fix and correct to include equality and inclusion of less represented individuals in an industry that has incredibly dense roots in whiteness and patriarchy. This was the first time that an awards show was cancelled to address this issue.

Jupiter was transiting the final degree of Aquarius (29 deg = Leo) and with Jupiter representing opportunities, this was symbolic of black people (aqua = different/ marginalized groups) getting the chance to be equally represented in the entertainment (leo) industry. 

Coincidentally, on both the dates of the HFPA announcement and the WGA strike, mars was in its detriment sign - Cancer - This transit could bring about strikes and fighting with groups of a close belonging. Take a look at the writers on strike. They were a close knit group of ppl (aka family) within their industry or community who helped defend each other and defend against limitations (Capricorn/Saturn) that threatened their livelihood and security (cancer).

I have an additional interpretation of the mars in cancer transit however (idc if ppl get mad) SOOO imo and from what I’ve read, white ppl are ruled by the moon/cancer and the book of rulership suggests that black ppl are ruled by Capricorn/Saturn. Now when mars was in cancer in 2007, Pluto was in sag which is inconjunct from the sign mars was in (cancer). Sag = other cultures, international -------- The conflict affected not only the country that the strike took place in but many parts of the world that consumed American media. Note: this was also media that majorly represented white Americans (ruled by cancer). Now fast forward to 2021: Pluto has been in Capricorn since ‘08 - a time which marked a visible rise of black achievement in the US (Obama becoming president, black voices being given bigger platforms and so much more) and heavy discussions and protests revolving around the growing violence and systemic oppression against African Americans (BLM, Trayvon Martin) Capricorn is opposite to Cancer so with the recent mars in cancer transit that was opposing pluto in cap we saw actions that needed to be taken to bring about change and mars in cancer moves slow to make those changes and really only makes changes and takes action based on comfort and now  with pluto in its opposite sign being like “cmon bitch move yo ass” changes are finally slowly coming together. Pluto defo destroys and rebuilds but leaves what needs to be kept.
