Mars conjunct Jupiter

I was sitting at my desk snivelling last night – my cold is getting heaps better thank you – and i saw some article about Hugh Hefner. It looked so totally the same as the rest of the five zillion articles on HH (dressing gown, peanut butter sandwiches, Playboy mansion has some mould in it, likes blondes with big tits, still believes in himself as sexual liberator, wishes all his ex-wives the best, is living the American Dream apparently, blah blah blah) that I did not bother to read it.

BUT it did prompt me to look at  his chart. Here, in the interest  of furthering our astro knowledge, is Hugh Hefner’s birthchart. Comments welcome. Here are my thoughts. Totally offhand. He ain’t asking me for help.

* He is Aries Sun with Virgo Rising and a hefty Aquarius Influence…Mars and Jupiter…Much like my Ex-Ramzilla whom, oddly enough, i met when he was working for Penthouse magazine.

* Virgo Rising and with Saturn all over it of late, he must have been hell to live with around the mansion. I can see him zipping around all hours of the AM/PM, leaving narky notes for the cleaners and going absolutely APESHIT at sanitary products left out anywhere. He would be neurotically straightening things and furious at such things as tattoos or punk hair colours. No wonder Kendra took off to marry a hot young cage-fighter. Or am i mixing her up with someone else?

* Okay, see that Sun in the 7th house?  He HAS to be a in a relationship. Genuinely needs it to feel expressed in his life. But then he has the Mercury-Uranus right on the cusp of his House of Love…That’s needing absolute freedom in love so how apt that he sets up a publishing empire (Mercury) based around sexual freedom and a situation where he always has more or less three girlfriends but maybe not the necessity of true intimacy with any of them. Top marks for manifesting Mercury-Uranus so well. And Mercury is his chart ruler…If your chart ruler is aligned with Uranus,  you WILL lead a trail-blazing life, one way or another.

* Moon-Venus in Pisces – idealises women & well, yes.

* Mars-Jupiter in Aquarius – may not be driven so much by sex at ALL…Neptune opposite the Jupiter/Mars — major fantasist but see how he has made his fortune off it…It’s a similar set-up to that of a lot of cartoonists and film-makers; 5th House, Jupiter-Neptune-Mars, Leo/Aquarius involvement.

* Next year he has his Uranus Return! Yes and right on the cusp of his House of Love…What could he do that would SHOCK everyone? Marry someone his own age? Suddenly introduce a hot young himbo into his stable of lovelies? Sue the Pope?

* I think it’s cool that there are more and more peeps out there being full-on self-actualizers (even HH’s kind of archaic version of it) at the time of their Uranus Return…
