Politically Inept

Persephone’s Myth was raped over the coals by 4 Columbia Undergrads, who argued for a trigger warning on the recently maligned tale. Have we become so politically inept that there exists only one correct point of view and to heck with tolerance for anyone else with a varying takeaway?

Rear Window – Stranger than Fiction

As I tensely sat in the movie theater yesterday for the revival of Hitchcock’s classic Rear Window, synchronicities rained down like 3-D poop from The Birds.

Turns out, I share a birthday with RW’s Jimmy Stewart (day and month, not year!—to be absolutely clear). And like the rest of our Scandal loving nation, I too have been enthralled with the Rear Window reality case surrounding Teflon Kingsta, Robert Durst, as captured in the HBO Documentary, The Jinx.

Let the record show, borrowing legal terminology Ironside’s Raymond Burr would appreciate, RW’s killer also cut up a body, using an everyday hacksaw and knife, and tried his best to hide the act, though, to his chagrin, his evil deeds wound up surfacing.

Third synchronicity-–really just another example of the uncanny accuracy of astrology—occurs while all of this truth and fiction play out around the New Moon Eclipse in the last potent degree of Pisces, the sign ruling movies and photography (Stewart’s character, a photojournalist)—and also deals with buried secrets, self-undoing and fame.

Can We Talk? – Joan Rivers’ Star Power

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!

Diva Power

Call her Wonder Woman, if you like, but this Amazonian Goddess has proved definitively she wields a power so immense she can change the course of a Superbowl! As we all know, the game was a snorefest till Beyonce took to the stage and stomped her foot like no one’s business, commanding not only the stage but the players on the field to march to her beat.

Beyonce wields a power so immense she can change the course of a Superbowl!

The 49ers woke up after her electric performance blew the lights out and knocked some sense into the lackluster team. They felt the force of her power and came alive till the end, when the Ravens said wait a minute, we’re a Scorpio team, the moon is in our Edgar Allen Poe sign, and we’re gonna defeat you guys, even if we have to resort to holding!

Many will blame The Blackout Bowl on Beyonce’s invocation of the Illuminati sign, but I say there’s a greater power at work here. No ordinary mortal could ever understand the power of the diva in full force. But if they did, they might think to harness it as a viable energy alternative, should Jay-Z be willing to share her!

Ghost Writer

Snooki, Gosselin, Situation, your ghost written books are but a pale shadow to THE celebrity ghost writer haunting my blog today.

Your ghost writers may have been born with silver dipped pens in their mouths, boasting NY Times winners not-to-be-believed in our faux-reality-driven era, but they are about to be overshadowed by a ghostly artist none of you reality divas could ever hope to snag for your next great American novel—not written by you.

That’s because this particular ghost writer has the one credential none of your writers possess: He’s an actual ghost!
