Fantastique! If I had not whizzed to Wikipedia to check Pepe Le Pew’s birth details (for a cartoon character, it is always their first appearance in media & it’s sooo accurate) I would  not have known that Johnny Depp drew upon the French skunk for his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean.  Hmm.

Anyway, Pepe is known for falling inappropriately (ie; inter-species) in love and making grand gestures that are utterly at odds with the actual reality of the “relationship” in play. I mean, he is a Skunk. But he sees himself as a grand seducer in the classic tradition.

The astro, of course, fits.  Get this. He is a Capricorn (ambitious, aspires to the high life and trophy partner) and his Moon is  in Libra with Venus in Pisces. So the latter two means he is a natural romantic as well. It’s not just cynical chasing down of a “catch.” Venus in Pisces sextiles Mars in Capricorn so there’s a libido throbbing away there as well BUT the aspects I love of Pepe Le Pew’s are:

* Venus in Pisces Squares Uranus in Gemini – He’s a bit perverse & kinky. He is maybe not so mistaken after all when he goes after cats instead of skunks, his own species.

* Mercury in Saggitarius squares Jupiter in Virgo – This is such a good expression of those grandiose gestures & insane serenades he indulges in. His need for candour is hyped by O.T.T. Jupiter & the Virgoan discrimination is swamped by an overblown Mercury in Sagg.

* Moon conjunct Neptune – the perpetual dreamer. He may have extremely lucid & sensual dreams that break into his everyday reality.

He needs a very creatively fulfilling and involved job so that the fantasy element of his life can be worked out positively rather than by stalking uninterested cats and attempting to hide his true nature with copious amounts of scent.

Carla Bruni’s Saturn-Uranus Opposition

Carla Bruni’s Pluto transit (still on until the end of this year) saw a pretty amazing transformation. Appropriate, for the planet of transformation smack bang on her Capricorn Sun at Zero degrees.

Now she’s got Uranus approaching her Midheaven (public image) opposing her natal Uranus and squaring her Mercury at 28 degrees Saggo. Pluto going over that a few years ago would have deepened her consciousness for sure and now Uranus comes along to edge her into being a positive iconoclast. So she’s already got Mercury in mouthy Sagg and Uranus squaring it + opposing it for the next 18 months should see more such episodes as her mouthing off at the Pope. It is especially resonant as she was (a) born & raised Catholic & (b) is a woman in such a powerful position or at least with massive media cut-through speaking  out.

Also, note that the Saturn-Uranus opposition – next hit in September – will be right across her IC-MC axis; Saturnine conservative force at home vs Uranian forces in her career/wanting to use visibility to effect societal change and they both square her Mercury. It’s called a T-square and they rarely pass un-noticed nor fail to create a fuss. Hard choices though.

“I find that the controversy coming from the Pope’s message – albeit distorted by the media – is very damaging…In Africa it’s often Church people who look after sick people. It’s astonishing to see the difference between the theory and the reality. I think the Church should evolve on this issue. It presents the condom as a contraceptive which, incidentally, it forbids, although it is the only existing protection,” she told Femme Actuelle, the women’s magazine.

The comments will cause Mr Sarkozy embarrassment in a country where, despite the separation of Church and State, a majority of the population was born Catholic André Roux, a constitutional historian said: “It’s unprecedented for a first lady to criticise the Pope….”
