I'm not a fan of Max, and of course I despise the person MG is: elitist, fake, without talent or any interesting qualities besides being a nepo baby and a kept woman, only recognized for being someone's partner...
But everything has already been said about her.
I just came to say some interesting things I've noticed about Max's astrological chart.
Personally, I don't like him much. I think he's a man who is very aware of his family situation, but deliberately ignores it. And I think part of that is also because he suffered abuse and neglect as a child. Someone like that clearly normalized violence and toxicity and translated it into survival. Kelly is one of many abusers that the guy unfortunately had in his life. There's no couple that makes me cringe and feel more disgusted than them. I don't care if that offends anyone. Abusers come in any gender, and women are no exception.
To me, Max is a lost man, disconnected from his true desires in life. He's not a bad person, but he's a hypocrite. He's incredibly talented, but that doesn't compensate for the emotional misery he surely lives with inside. It doesn't take much to notice, just discernment.
Returning to the astrological aspect, I think his birth chart explains very well why he seems to be stuck in a perpetual loop, unable to break free from the toxic relationship with that woman. And why he doesn't seem to have a harmonious family life.
First of all, Max has the Sun in Libra in the 10th house. It's often said that the Sun is in its fall in Libra because it's contrary to its nature (which is exalted in Aries, the "I am," the affirmation), and in Libra it becomes accommodating towards others, diplomatic, not confrontational. Adding the 10th house, it falls in the realm of profession, status, and vocation. This means that Max's most authentic image is that of a people-pleaser, and I know that doesn't quite fit with his public image, which has always been characterized by problems with how he's perceived. But trying to please is also part of his natural response, a kind of performance, a middle ground (Libra) between who he truly is, what he hides, and not tarnishing his external image too much. So, personally, I think MG's media spectacles aren't isolated incidents. Max accompanies them, consciously or unconsciously, because for him, the performance is more convenient than facing the reality of what he's really experiencing behind the scenes.
Now comes what I believe are the three most important and weighty astrological positions in his birth chart (everything is weighty, really):
⢠Saturn (retrograde) in Aries in the 4th house
⢠Mars and Pluto in Sagittarius in the 12th house
His Saturn is directly in the house of family and roots. It speaks of boundaries and unresolved karmic situations. This speaks directly to Jos, the abuse he suffered as a child. It doesn't matter if it helped him become the great athlete he is today; a child's mind doesn't process it that way. The neglect almost certainly caused trauma, and I know it's not very well-received to talk about this, but I'll just say that subconsciously, Max didn't know how to establish himself in his home, he didn't know how to grasp the concept of putting down roots. There's a deep fear of repeating his father's actions and the harm he inflicted. That's why his emotional escape is, and always will be, work. Fatherhood terrifies him. It may seem like he lives with his daughter and that's enough, but that's not enough. Fatherhood (and motherhood) is about being there for the child as much as possible. I'm sorry, but if you decided to bring a child into the world, it's your responsibility 100% of the time. Nannies should be a help when you're truly tired, not the person who raises your child. In that sense, Max and MG are typical rich people who think their money excuses them from responsibility. I bet they don't even want to change a diaper, but showing off their child on social media is something they can do. Simply disgusting.
But Max's Saturn placement indicates that without proper therapy or the necessary deep introspection, it's a lie that he fully enjoys fatherhood. Not because he doesn't love his daughter, but because deep down there's conflict stemming from his childhood. There's no assertive sense of self. As if he couldn't make his own decisions regarding this crucial aspect of his life.
Now, Mars and Pluto in the 12th house only reinforce this passive attitude of Max's. Mars is the planet of action, and Pluto of transformation. Both fall in the 12th house, the house of the unconscious. Max's capacity for action and genuine change is deeply ingrained in his psyche. These two planets rule Scorpio, a sign linked to the processes of death and rebirth. This makes me think that's why Max is the pilot he is on the runwayâwhere else but on the runway is one on the edge of death? But upon returning home (Saturn in the 4th house), Max's Mars and Pluto completely shut down. There's no mental space for taking action, like separating from that toxic relationship, nor any initiative to change and seek a better life, a more balanced partner, and a healthier family circle with clear boundaries.
It's not that Max doesn't know what's wrong; it's that he simply doesn't have the mental or emotional space to cope with what a complete life change would entail.
That, broadly speaking, is what I personally see in Max. You may or may not believe it; astrology isn't absolute truth, but it's a map that can help better understand a person's internal processes. I also want to mention that the Moon and Mercury are in Virgo. Max doesn't feel emotions; he analyzes and compartmentalizes them. He's not incapable of feeling, but he also doesn't allow himself to experience emotions fully. His Venus is in Scorpio, which gives him a very strong intensity, but if he doesn't reflect, he very easily falls into emotional excess and toxicity. MG also shares that Venus with him, which explains why the relationship can be so toxic and intense, but not well-founded.
Now that I think about it, Saturn in the 4th house and Mars and Pluto in the 12th house suggest a fear of real commitment. And I'm not just talking about getting married or having childrenâanyone can do thatâbut about an unconscious fear, born from the dysfunctional dynamics of his primary family.
Anyway, this has gone on too long. I could show Max's full birth chart if anyone's interested. I enjoy astrology as a hobby; everyone has their obsession! đ
