Pop culture vedic observations: xmas edition, How the Grinch Stole Christmas *ੈ🎄✩‧₊
The Grinch reminds me of mars (mangal) in vedic astrology and mars dominant people. The way that mars operates is that there is a lot of defense involved in order to protect something considered special and pure. Mars and mars dominant people are outwardly really aggressive/mean, but on the inside they are very soft and innocent. They are often either consciously or unconsciously using aggression and intimidation as tools to protect that deeper purity. They are so focused on protection they don't even realize how they can end up coming across the wrong way. They have experienced painful things before so they want to protect themselves even if it makes them look scary. Much like the Grinch, who looks mean, scary, dirty, has bad hygiene and did many things to scare people off. He was outwardly cruel and presented himself as such to ward off bullies because he himself was bullied in school. Deep inside he just wanted love and to be accepted and so he built defenses to protect that purity within him. The reason why he was always on defense was because of his traumatic childhood experiences being ostracized from the rest of Who society. Then Cindy Lou comes along and teaches him how to step out of his shell again and integrate back into society after he learns that he is loved and accepted. To add on top of this, the actor who played the Grinch, Jim Carrey has his taurus moon in the mars nakshatra, Mrigashira which explains why he was naturally able to channel that mars energy.
