It's always so heartwarming when karmic forces amass against someone who really
deserves a comeuppance. While Karl Rove still seems to be enjoying the
protection of his contract with Satan, it appears that Mel Gibson did
not get the memo that the universe abhors a bigot. As the news rolls in, the
hole into which Mel's dug his career with this drunk-driving debacle just keeps
getting deeper. Now his ABC miniseries about the Holocaust has been canceled
{Source},
which sounds like a smart move on the part of network brass, since I'm guessing
Mel is about as much of an expert on the Holocaust as Moby is on cheese
steak.
Now, I have no problem with Mel being a Catholic, because everyone is entitled
to their own spiritual convictions and it is wrong to judge anyone else's belief
system. (Well, except Scientologists. Their belief system is a steaming load
of crap if ever I have seen one.) But once you get into being hateful toward
other groups, say, gays and Jewish people, you've definitely got some karma
coming. Mel has made a big point of saying he's not anti-Semitic {Source},
but let's be real here. I mean, as those who know me will attest, I have been
stinking, belligerent drunk on many, many occasions, and never once have I just
happened to bust out with a whole bunch of anti-Semitic slurs. Ordered a series
of "Guitar Rock of the '80s" CDs off of an infomercial, sang and danced
along to the entire score of Jesus Christ Superstar, had ill-advised
intercourse, yes—all of these things and more I have done while intoxicated,
yet somehow I have managed to avoid hate speech. Gee, why do you suppose that
is? Oh, right, BECAUSE I'M NOT FULL OF HATE.
Ahem, but I digress. Let me step back and strive for a more measured level
of schadenfreude as we examine Mel's horoscope and find out why Yahweh has a
bone to pick with him.
A Capricorn, Mel has a malefic conjunction of aggressive Mars and his Sun's
ruler, stern Saturn, in Scorpio. This configuration gives him a tendency to
be controlling, power-hungry and manipulative, and he definitely likes to be
in charge. See
Mel Gibson's birth chart (Astrotheme) An out-of-sign Mercury-Chiron
conjunction makes Mel prone to say hurtful, wounding things in public.
Another out-of-sign conjunction, of Pluto in late Leo with Jupiter in Virgo,
gives Mel something of a megalomaniacal cast. He is overweening and overreaching
in his ambitions yet controlling and micromanaging. With Uranus in Leo in the
1st house, he likes to shake things up and shock people; he is a well-known
prankster and seems to drop trou almost as much as Steve-O.
At the time of Mel's arrest (2:36 AM PDT on July 28, 2006 in Los Angeles),
the approaching inconjunct aspect between authoritative Saturn in egomaniacal
Leo, in his 2nd house of values, and volatile Uranus in self-destructive, addictive,
martyr-complex Pisces, in his 9th house of beliefs and foreign cultures, was
forming a yod configuration with Mel's Capricorn Sun that is just now waning
in influence.
Transiting Saturn also opposes Mel's natal Venus, bringing confrontations with
authority figures and some hard lessons about the nature of fame (Saturn in
Leo), his image and his relationship with the public (Venus in Aquarius). With
Mercury trining Mars-Saturn conjunction, he is particularly prone to lashing
out in verbal outbursts to maintain his sense of control and power. Transiting
Venus is opposing Mel's Sun from the 12th house of addiction and self-undoing.
He is forced to take a hard look at himself now.
Mel is also experiencing his Chiron return, meaning that old wounds are coming
to the surface now. Perhaps he can use this energy positively to shell out a
guilt-ridden financial contribution to the Jewish community that would actually
do some good, whether or not his intentions are sincere.
The next major aspect between Saturn and Uranus, the opposition, will fall
right on Mel's IC/Midheaven (home/family vs. career/goals) in September 2009.
This will be a major time of reckoning for Mel and could augur a total upset
in his status—with his career either biting the dust once and for all
or perhaps being reinvented in a new way. Mel's Midheaven is in Pisces, suggesting
that he has a messiah complex of sorts; his highest ambition is to spread spirituality
to the world. Perhaps the fall of 2009 will find Mel embracing a new calling
as a cult leader.
