I’ve always loved her ability to shock and guffaw saying what we were all really thinking but would never have the nerve to admit!
With a stellium of planets in the sign of communication in her house of talking, no wonder the phrase, Can we talk? became Joan Rivers’ calling card.
Her moon in Sag made her an inspiration for all female comediennes who followed in her Jimmy Choo shoes. An Aries rising, Joan was meant to cut a trail with her acerbic wit!
Another stellium in her 6th house of work, in the sign of Virgo, symbolized absolute devotion to her craft, and the dynamo worked right up till the day her star rose to the heavens.
Though her husband tragically departed via suicide, Joan’s ruler of important relationships resided in Gemini, so Joan was married to her comedy and it never let her down!
I’ve always loved her ability to shock and guffaw saying what we were all really thinking but would never have the nerve to admit! George Carlin was similarly gifted, which is why I will always think of the pair as the King and Queen of my funny bone.
In looking at Melissa’s Lunar Return Chart, occurring just shortly before her death, I was astounded to be observing what was a death chart! Uranus conjoining with South Node in the first meant exit stage right, and her passing would be quick and unexpected. The chart’s ruler, mars, was in the 8th house of death in the sign of Scorpio (endings). Also notable was the fact that this lunar chart mirrored her natal chart with all the signs on the angles, exactly the same as they were at birth. This was to be a significant month for Joan—in her case, an exit point her soul decided to take. Joan had Jupiter, the planet of blessings, and Venus, another benefic, in the house of children, and indeed she was blessed with Melissa and her grandson, Cooper. How Melissa pulled off such a star-studded extravaganza service in such short order, proves her undying devotion and love for her one-of-a kind mom.
Joan will always be the Queen of my Funny Bone!
I do believe Joan’s working the white carpet as we speak, thumbing her nose at Halos that are so last year! Can we talk about how the world just got so much less funny? RIP Joan Rivers. Your comedic star will forever be in my hall of fame!
