Saturday Night Mystery | the astrology of Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson and Covid-19
Saturday, July 25, 2020Let's try something different this week. Let's look at the charts of a couple people (whose charts we can access) who have contracted Covid-19 and see what we might discover.
Not all researchers are in agreement of what is happening in our bodies if we contract this, but some believe when the virus reaches our lungs, it most especially impacts the alveoli - tiny air sacks where oxygen transfer takes place. For some people, the body's immune reaction gets exaggerated and in an attempt to kill the virus, kills the cells the virus is in. The cells fill up with all the mucus and gunk the immune reaction causes, grow in number, and, sometimes rapidly, overwhelm the lung's ability to breathe.
Astrologically, we would suspect some combinations with Mars (inflammation, fever, aggressive movement, overkill) and Neptune/Pisces (virus, lack of boundaries), 6th houses or Chiron (health), chart angles, Gemini/Mercury (lungs, breathing).
Here I have also added asteroid Wuhan and asteroid Hygiea - which BTW is the 4th largest asteroid in our solar system, so no joke, AND about alot more than hand-washing.
Anyhoo, back to mid-March and Tom and Rita -
On March 12, 2020, (three days after the Virgo Full Moon that kind of launched everything into the stratosphere), Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, in Australia where Hanks was shooting a movie, announced they had both tested positive for the corona-virus.
The inner wheel is their natal chart and the outer (blue area) show the transits.
Let's unpack their charts!
When Hanks and Wilson announced their positive test results -
Tom had transiting Neptune within a one degree conjunction to his natal Mars (and his Mars was one degree from the Sun during the Virgo Full Moon three days prior). Mars/Neptune in his 6th house of health and would be exactly what you might expect with inflammation (Mars) from a virus (Neptune).
Happening conjunct his descendant - 7th house of partnerships - made it likely it would connect to another person, maybe he would pass it to his wife or she had passed it to him. They would go through this together.
The ruler of his 6th house (health) is Saturn (restriction, something sobering) in his 3rd house (lungs, communication, serious news). His natal Mars in Pisces in the 6th is setting him up for a health issue exactly like this one
(and of course it also represents his uber successful work as an actor - taking action (Mars) through work (6th house) in a Piscean realm - the entertainment industry/the imagination)
and then that Full Moon in Virgo (with the Sun on his Mars) and Neptune in Pisces triggered his natal energies by transit.
His natal Mars (in Pisces) is answering to his Neptune in Libra (partners) and disposited by Venus (partner) in Gemini (lungs) in his public 10th house (what becomes known). His natal Venus is conjunct his mid-heaven (again what becomes known) and asteroid "Wuhan".
Hanks was born with 2020's big three-peating aspect the powerful Jupiter/Pluto conjunction - you will find your natal aspects activated when transiting planets form the same aspect.
They are in his 12th house (our other health house) in Virgo (health). Tom was born with Asteroid Hygiea at 25 degrees Capricorn and sandwiched, at the time of his announcement and illness, between Jupiter and Pluto.
The transiting North Node at 4 degrees Cancer is conjunct his natal Mercury (news/information) in that public 10th house. And Mercury, of course is the ruler of Virgo (health) and Gemini (lungs), AND his first house/Ascendant, so his chart, and his 10th house of public life.
Kaboom - the world is hearing about and talking about Hank's announcement
(his natal North Node in confident and hopeful Sagittarius and natal chart-ruling Mercury and Sun, both in comforting Cancer, allowed him to say just the right thing at just the right time).
I mean you can't make this stuff up folks. It's like one of his jobs during his time on planet Earth was to catch this thing at exactly the time we needed some Forrest Gump-style comforting and announce it to the world -
"life really is like a box of chocolates ...".
Transits are symbolic indicators of the activation of something within us which is demanding recognition and space in our lives, especially if it has been stifled before (he hadn't stifled these energies, he had worked them, and so, in a sense, sailed through this because obviously it could have been worse, but believe me these transits have impacted his life greatly).
We could probably find a few more things, but let's move on to Rita's chart.
They were born a few months apart, so they have some similarities including their Mars in Pisces (inflammation/virus) - his at 17 degrees and hers at 14 degrees, so he must have been born with Mars direct, then Mars went retrograde, stationed direct, got almost back to his degree and Rita was born.
She has transiting Neptune conjunct her natal Mars - again virus/inflammation or aggressive virus - and the transiting Sun conjunct the IC of her chart - which is one indicator for her physical body. This is all opposing her "lucky" and public Venus/Jupiter conjunction. Transiting asteroid Hygeia is in her 6th house (health) in Gemini (lungs) and conjunct her descendant (Hanks/7th house partners) and opposing her natal Saturn (restriction) and answering to her natal Mercury (health, communication) in Libra (partners) conjunct her natal Neptune (virus). Both her natal Mars and transiting Neptune, the Sun and Mercury are in her third house (lungs). To me, this looks physically harder on her and I believe that is what they have since stated. Her natal Asteroid Hygeia is, like Tom's, at 25 degrees Capricorn, so sandwiched between transiting Jupiter and Pluto.
One of the things that is happening in the world
(as the patriarchy falls and the Age of Aquarius is born)
is the total transformation of these final Capricorn degrees, so people carrying the energies of these late degrees, either through natal planets/points in Cappy or by opposition in Cancer or by squares in Aries and Libra - are facing situations where they are dealing with power/loss of power/the great collective humbling.
In order for the new world to rise, a great many people have agreed through soul contract - to fall (ie lose/release in some way, the old-school energies of control/power).
Historically, these degrees carry alot of weight and that weight is being forcibly shifted - this has been going on for the other Cappy degrees, too, since 2008 when Pluto went into Capricorn and especially since Saturn got there at the end of 2017, but most of the losses for the people/structures with the early degrees have already happened.
Very powerful people in history/powerful events whose energies need to be pulled up by the roots lay in late Cappy and so the big 'time runs out' stuff is focused here.
I have a brother-in-law with paranoid schizophrenia. He lived with us during a particularly tumultuous time back in 2012 and his chart, and others with this disorder I have looked at since, have a similar story playing out, but in the mind instead of the lungs (both Mercury's domain through Gemini) -
an inability to define boundaries (or friends or foes) and the inappropriate responses such abnormal perception triggers. Something to think about in our lives and the collective as we work through this thing.
One temporary solution, enforcing Saturn/boundaries - ie social distancing/masks, etc, works to an extent, but also creates a whole other set of problems because Saturn as a band-aid for Mars can create a kind of "identity under siege". And depression.
Next week we are going to look ahead to August and I am probably going to do a few less dailies in August to make some space/time for some bigger picture stuff.
We've got at least two more acts to come in this cray-cray year.
xo all
To recap a couple previous mysteries - in the case of the two year old boy missing in Philadelphia that we looked at HERE - the babysitter has been arrested and charged with murder (as the chart indicated, even though the chart was based on her lie). This is a good example of how you need to dig into charts and not just look superficially because remember we had his significator in Cancer (the sign of the mother) and Ceres on the descendent (the perpetrator, also the sign of the mother) - it was only because we dug deeper and looked at Cancer in the 11 house, Nessus conjunct Ceres and all the Virgo - we we able to see past her lies about King's mother to the babysitter's guilt.
Another case we looked at - a woman who went missing on a bicycle ride (which may or may not have happened) on Mother's Day and her husband's tearful Facebook plea - may have some news this week as Venus gets back to the same degree she activated for the 911 call and his social media post, so we'll see what happens - that case is HERE.
