The Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is a colourful character, non?

First there is his  womanising.

It seems to vibe really old school, like what I was reading in the biography of Lucretia Borgia about how her dad – the pope of the time- was renowned for his sexual magnetism, charm and virility. Not saying PM Belusconi is all that but the attitude…

Then there are his notorious yet hilarious gaffes – if he were not a tycoon & politician etc, he would be a fab comedian. His astro neatly signifies it all – he’s a Libran with Mercury Retrograde conjunct his Sun. So a keen brain – he is a songwriter as well – but one that would be prone to an almost surreal degree of faux pas & Freudian Slippage. Venus is in Libra sextile Mars in Leo & square Pluto – a hint of compulsion to his womanising…IN this picture, he makes me think of Sylvester the Cat longing for Tweetie.

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.
