I suppose it was only a matter of time, given our current zero tolerance for sexual harassment and the “Me Too” movement, before someone brought up Woody Allen. And it is perhaps it is only fitting that that someone would be Dylan Farrow, the adopted daughter of Mia Farrow who, when she was a child back in the 1990s, had accused Allen of fondling her. Now 32, Dylan is reaffirming the allegations. Allen was quick to publish a denial of her claims.
For those of you who might be too young to recall, Woody Allen and Mia Farrow were the “odd” couple of early 1990s. Both had their quirks. Allen was the nebbish New Yorker and Farrow was the blond beauty with a penchant for adopting children. Nonetheless, their relationship seemed to prosper, until the day when Farrow found naked Polaroid’s of one of her adopted daughters (Soon-Yi) in Allen’s apartment.
The last Full Moon (on Jan. 1) was a humdinger. We had the opposition of the Sun and Moon forming the spine of a kite formation which involved nearly every planet on the chart. (Click here to see the article and the chart.) I predicted that we would see a lot of activity from this chart, and we did. On top of tense budget negotiations in Congress, we had the release of Michael Wolff’s book on the White House and Trump’s “shithole” remark, and that’s just the highlights.
However, I also said that, since Neptune seemed to be the dominant planet in the system, this activity would, in the end, amount to very little. Sure there was scandal (such as news of hush money paid to a former porn star by Trump’s attorney.) And there were claims and counter claims (such as the Senators and Representatives who were all in the same room with Donald Trump but came out with different stories about what they had heard.) However, now that the smoke is clearing we see that very little has really changed.
The budget negotiations are still going on. Wolff’s “Fire and Fury” caused a lot of both but, except for ending Trump’s friendship with Steve Bannon, its effect on the Trump White House has been negligible. Basically, the book confirmed what Trump’s detractors already knew and what his supporters absolutely refuse to believe. The same goes for Trump’s categorization of Haiti and the nations of Africa as “shithole” countries. If you needed that remark to convince you that Donald Trump is a racist, you haven’t been paying attention.
Last Saturday night, at the Golden Globes, Oprah Winfrey gave a speech that is still reverberating around the country. It wasn’t just the content of her speech that moved people, it was the way in which it got people thinking of Winfrey as a possible candidate for President. I have to admit that I have deep reservations about electing another television star, even one as intelligent and capable as Oprah Winfrey, to high public office, but I still had to stop and look at her horoscope.
(Click here to see a double chart with Winfrey’s natal chart in the middle and the transits for Jan. 7 on the outside.)
There is still much debate about Oprah’s intentions. She has previous denied having any political ambitions. However, around three weeks ago Saturn crossed her Sagittarian Ascendant. This is an important Saturn Cycle aspect. When Saturn crosses our Ascendant we feel the need to reevaluate how we present ourselves to the world. There are often major changes in our lifestyle or our life goals. So a change from television mogul to politician is not out of the question.
Like just about every astrologer in the western world, I took a glance at the chart of Michael Wolff last week. (A partial glance. Since we do not have a time of birth I did a chart for noon on Wolff’s date of birth. Click on Michael Wolff to see the horoscope.) What I found was pretty much what you would expect. A Virgo Sun sign with Mercury, Virgo’s ruler and the planet of writers and gossip, strongly aspected. However, the real fun started when I compared the Wolff’s chart to that of the man he has so profoundly irritated, Donald Trump.
The results were not anything that I had expected. Instead of indications of antipathy I saw happy Jupiter in Wolff’s chart conjunct the Sun in Trump’s and opposed to his Moon. On top of this, loving Venus in Wolff’s chart is only a degree and a half away from Trump’s natal Venus. Looking at these aspects, my first thought was “OMG, these two should be dating.”
