Combine the sensuous beauty of a Taurus Sun with the stunning stage presence of a Leo Moon and you get a Sun/Moon combination that is artistic and attractive, self-confident and self-sustaining, always dignified and always on the A-List. This pairing has the strut of a movie-star and the swagger of a business mogul. It’s at its finest on the big stage earning the very big bucks. Astrologer Jefferson Anderson refers to Taurus Sun, Leo Moon as the pairing of “The Entertainer” whose larger than life persona attracts more flashbulbs than royalty and possesses enough star-power to rival the Sun itself:
There is probably no one else in your social sphere who has your forcefullness, drama, and extroverted nature. “I am my own light” sums up your character . . you are a terrific showman. If it isn’t dramatic, it isn’t any fun. For many Taurus/Leos, just taking out the garbage can be an Academy Award performance. Your dress, actions, and behavior are usually planned to call attention to yourself. You consider others fortunate to be in your presence, to share in your activities, and to applaud every step. (Source)
Fortunately for the Taurus Sun, Leo Moon individual many of those steps are likely to be taken on the red carpet, in a pair designer shoes, while on their way to one hell of a big payday. This is one of the premier Sun/Moon combinations for money-making mega-success. Taurus is symbolized by the Bull while Leo is symbolized by the Lion. Pair the two together and you get “Bullion” as in gold bullion astrologer Sue Tompkins tells us. (Source) Singer Bing Crosby is a Taurus Sun, Leo Moon who made so much money as an entertainer that he may have rivaled Fort Knox itself. (Chart)
Taurus is the sign most oriented toward accumulation, appreciation, and return on investment while Leo’s instinctual generosity often draws the attention of Lady Luck herself. Taurus wants money in the bank while Leo wants the gold jewelry that money in the bank can buy. Taurus wants fat checks in the bank while Leo applause from those who sign the fat checks that go in the bank. Taurus refuses to be deprived of high end creature comforts while Leo refuses to be deprived of attention from its adoring public. Queen Elizabeth II is a Taurus Sun, Leo Moon. (Chart) Her 1953 coronation was the most expensive, most anticipated, most celebrated public ceremonies of the 20th century. It was, in short, a Taurus/Leo dream come true:
Taurus is oriented towards high self-worth while Leo is oriented towards unabashed self-expression so the combination is excellent for any sort of professional performer. Taurus/Leo will also give the Scorpio/Leo pairing a run for its money when it comes to which Sun/Moon pairing will get the most attention. Actress Megan Fox, one of Hollywood’s most beautiful and most bankable young performers, is a Taurus Sun, Leo Moon. (Chart)
Both Taurus and Leo are “fixed” which means “stubborn, obstinate, and extremely reluctant to budge off a chose course.” Pair the two together and you get a Sun/Moon pairing that can be absolutely unwilling to compromise. On the upside, this pairing’s uncompromising nature gives it a strong backbone which it will use to defend its loved ones much the way a bull (Taurus) will defend its turf or a lioness (Leo) will defend her cubs. It can also be very old fashioned when it comes to selecting a life partner. Astrologer Jacqueline Bigar tells the Taurus/Leo woman, “You are likely to choose a practical, strong provider as your partner. You never forget your first love – whether or not you marry him.” (Source) Fortunately for Fox that is not a problem as she recently married actor Brian Austin Green, who just so happens to be her first love. (Source) Green’s a Cancer Sun, Capricorn Moon – a pairing known to be moody but that has excellent business sense, something a Taurus/Leo like Fox can really appreciate.
We don’t know what the inside of their home looks like but if she’s in charge of decorating there’s a good chance it’s filled with luxury items, particularly fine art, a favorite of many Taurus/Leos. Theo Van Gogh, the younger brother of Vincent, is a Taurus Sun, Leo Moon. (Chart) According to Wikipedia, “It was Theo’s financial support of his brother Vincent that allowed him to devote himself entirely to painting.” (Source) That’s the other thing about Taurus/Leos, they are quite generous with both financial and emotional support when it comes to assisting those who are dear to them.
According to astrologers Suzi and Charles Harvey, a metaphoric image for the Taurus Sun, Leo Moon individual is, “On a perfect summer’s evening, a performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is held in the palace garden.” (Source) That’s an excellent approximation of Mrs. Fox, one of Hollywood’s most ballyhooed stars. It’s an equally accurate metaphor for other Taurus/Leo individuals such as singer James Brown aka “The Godfather of Soul” aka “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business” and iconic rapper Too Short. (Chart) Although the three men come from radically different background they all have two things in common: they keep the cash money stacked (Taurus) and the gold records racked (Leo Moon).
If you wants lots of “hollah for your astro-dollah” this holiday season I have some recommendations for products or services available from guests that have appeared on
show:
At its best the Aries/Capricorn will manage to pair the fighting spirit of an Aries Sun with the strategic instincts of a Capricorn Moon to form a Sun/Moon pairing that is thick skinned, self-controlled, highly pragmatic, extremely courageous, business minded, and totally unafraid of confrontation. Of the 144 Sun/Moon pairings, this is one of the best for “true grit and the capacity to battle the elements . . . as well as for anybody who needs to legitimately wage war against the establishment”, to quote astrologer Sue Tompkins. (Source) Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) champion turned film star Gina Carano is an Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon whose capacity to “wage war” and “battle the elements” is completely undisputed at this point. (Chart)
According to astrologers Suzi and Charles Harvey, a metaphoric image for the highest expression of the Aries/Capricorn pairing is, “A young soldier is rewarded by the King for exceptional bravery in the cause of freedom and individual rights.” (Source) It’s hard to imagine a more accurate description of Mrs. Carano than that, both in the very real world of professional cage fighting and the imaginal world of action films. In addition to being “the face of women’s mixed martial arts”, Carano recently made her motion picture debut alongside Michael Douglas as a highly decorated special forces soldier who must display exceptional bravery in her war against the establishment:
According to the Harveys, the strengths of the Aries/Capricorn pairing include, “a powerful mixture of risk-taking and caution; total involvement and courageous commitment”. (Source) This combination will “respect the law but just by a hair’s breath”, they write. (Source) Legendary G-man Elliot Ness, famously portrayed by Kevin Costner in the 1987 film The Untouchables, is also an Aries/Capricorn who displayed “courageous commitment” and “risk-taking” moxie while “respecting the law but only by a hair’s breath” in his fight against organized crime during the 1920s. (Chart)
Frank Serpico – the whistle-blowing NYPD cop portrayed by Al Pacino in the 1973 film Serpico – is also an Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon. (Chart) So too is author Tom Clancy, best known for having penned military thrillers such as The Hunt for Red October, The Sum of all Fears, and Clear and Present Danger. (Chart) Actors do best in roles that line up with their astrological charts. With Elliot Ness, Frank Serpico, and Tom Clancy as some of her Aries/Capricorn astro-twins, Carano is in pretty good company when it comes to projecting as a legitimate action star.
Aries Sun, Capricorn can be as formidable a force in romantic relationships as it is when battling against (or on behalf of) the forces of evil. Astrologer Jacqueline Bigar writes of the the Aries/Capricorn woman, “You are likely to be bold, direct, and animated . . .” (Source) The Harveys advise this pairing to consider toning down it penchant for confrontation when it comes to matters of the heart. If not, “loved ones may easily feel bruised by you . . .” they warn. (Source)
Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon Astro-Twins: Gina Carano, the Undertaker, the B-52
Carano’s most notable contemporary Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon astro-twin is probably professional wrestler Mark Calaway, best known as “The Undertaker”. (Chart) Terry Bolea, aka “Hulk Hogan”, is probably the best known wrestler among fans but it’s Calaway who is easily the most respected by his fellow wrestlers. For Aries/Capricorn, respect with a capital “R” is the currency of the realm more so than just fame or money. (Although no Aries/Capricorn ever threw public acclaim or fat checks out of bed mind you.) Take a look at this fascinating out of character interview With Calaway where he discusses the business and human resource aspects of the wrestling industry to understand just how important respect is to this pairing:
It’s no surprise that Calaway is considered the “Locker Room Leader” and “The General” by his peers as business management is something the Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon individual is a natural at. Astrologer Jefferson Anderson explains why in his 1978 book Sun Sign Moon Sign:
Others respond to what they perceive as great maturity and responsibility, and you are likely to gain much respect and influence among your peers. Those who earn your friendship will probably find themselves lifted to great heights along with you. Loyalty is important to you, and you are not one to forget those who help you reach success.
Professionally, you are best suited to managerial careers . . . you have the executive abilities needed to implement plans and ideas with originality and foresight.(Source)
People with the same Sun/Moon pairing often bear a certain resemblance to each other even if they’re obviously not related by blood. Take a look, for instance, at these screenshots of Carano and Calaway from interviews with MMA correspondent Ariel Helwani of FanHouse.com:
Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon: Gina Carano and The Undertaker
Obviously Carano is a bit easier on the eyes than “The Deadman” himself but astro-twin resemblances are more about the physical ingraining of long term emotional states and behavior patterns than simply looks. In the case of Carano and Calaway, the camera picks up on both a sense of responsibility and a presence of practical formidablity, the exact traits the Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon pairing is known to possess.
Aries/Capricorn is one of the top five combos that you can trust to come up in the clutch at any type of “main event”. Calaway, for instance, has been main-eventing Wrestlemania for nearly 20 years and thus more or less carrying the wrestling industry on his back since Hulk Hogan went into semi-retirement. Similarly, Carano’s last fight in 2011 was the first female main event in MMA pay per view history and thus had riding on it the perceived financial viability of an entire industry. Aries/Capricorn natives who go into law will exhibit the same clutch abilities in the courtroom while those who go into teaching will be able to perform just as admirably within in the most pressure packed classrooms. Those who go into construction or contracting will be able to get absolutely massive jobs completed under the most demanding of deadlines. This pairing can be brash and brute but absolutely nothing will rattle it.
Carano and Calaway have a mutual “main eventing” astro-twin that bears mentioning: the B-52 Stratofortress. Designed to deliver nuclear weapons and first flown by Boeing on April 15th, 1962 the B-52 is an Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon (Chart)
Sure, if the world ever ends in a horrifying nuclear apocalypse there’s an excellent chance the B-52 will have played a major role but let’s not dwell on the negative shall we? The truly amazing thing about the B-52 is that sixty years after its first flight it’s still in service. In fact, according to a recent article at CNet.com, the U.S. Air Force expects the B-52 to be in service until at least the year 2040. (Source) That tells you something about the Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon pairing’s combination of both fighting spirit and staying power.
There does, by the way, seem to be some correlation between this Sun/Moon pairing and a preoccupation with the apocalypse. Al Gore is an Aries/Capricorn best known for his detailed analysis of apocalyptic environmental trends. (Chart) Calaway looks like a stunt-double for one of the four horseman of the apocalypse while Mrs. Carano admitted in a recent interview that she’s been more than a bit preoccupied by the end of the world since her high school years:
For all the fortress type toughness seen throughout Carano’s chart, her North Node (destiny) is in Cancer, the sign of the Great Mother. Cancer is the sign of food and family, nurturing and caring, emotional intelligence and heartfelt tears. This means her destiny is tied up with either literal motherhood or figurative motherhood, nurturing others or nurturing herself. At the very least she’s served as the equivalent of a “God-Mother” to a generation of young women who now have an example of a female who kicks ass (Aries) while exuding class (Capricorn Moon).

Mars indicates how a person fights, what their weapon(s) of choice are, which methodologies they were default to. Barack Obama’s Mars is in Virgo, the sign of analysis, precision, forensic research, health consciousness, and technical wizardry. If Mars in Capricorn is the placement of the traditional infantry and Mars in Aquarius is the sign of fast moving shock troops then Mars in Virgo is the sign of military intelligence, the geeks in the back pouring over satellite images to figure out where the front-line troops should go. As a very thorough article over at Salon.com details, the Obama 2012 campaign had teams of super intelligent super geeks who leveraged forensic research, data analysis, and the “micro-targeting” of voters to an unprecedented degree. The article’s title “When the Nerds Go Marching In” nicely approximates the modus operandi of Mars in Virgo.
Mitt Romney’s Mars is in Pisces, the sign opposite to Virgo. Mars in Pisces is a great placement for photography, mysticism, and the arts including dancing. M.C. Hammer, arguably one of the greatest dancers of all time, has Mars in Pisces. (Chart) For anybody who missed it here is Romney doing a not half bad Hammer imitation (Gangnam style) prior to one of his campaign speeches:
If they’re not involved in the arts in some way, people with Mars in Pisces will fight using Piscean methods: drugs, deceit, and deception. Romney’s campaign was essentially one giant deceptive dance routine aimed at drugging the Red State masses, Bain Capital style.
If Mars in Pisces is the sign of deceptive dance routines then Mars in Virgo is the sign of drone warfare. Why? Because it offers the illusion of precise, clean, “micro-targeted” (Virgo) warfare (Mars). With his Mars (fighting style) in Virgo (micro-targeting), it’s no surprise that aerial drone strikes and Seal Team Six hit-jobs have turned out to be Barack Obama’s weapons of choice.
Virgo and Pisces are opposites but opposites always have more than a few things in common. When Mars in Virgo turns to its shadow expression it can be just as prone to sloppy illusions as Mars in Pisces. “Micro-targeting” voters during a campaign might make for a nice, clean electoral victory but it doesn’t always work so cleanly when it comes to executing people:
In the old days Virgo was (at its best) the sign of the sacred work but (at its worst) also the placement of the street hustler for whom anything and everything is for sale. As the above video explains, the DOD has been intentionally publishing “Drone Porn” execution videos to YouTube in hopes of hustling up additional funding for further campaigns of “micro-targeted” murder.

Combine the psychological intensity of a Scorpio Sun with the romantic instincts of a Libra Moon and the result is a Sun/Moon pairing which will be extremely oriented (Scorpio) towards one-to-one relationships (Libra). Astrologer Carolyn Reynolds describes this pairing’s capacity for romance:
This is one of the most charming men of the Sun/Moon combination, and the romantic par excellence. He is magnetic, persuasive, ardent and loyal. In one hypnotic nod he gestures he understands you, both physically and emotionally. He lives to understand you. He will calm and reassure you in the midst of his own inner turmoil that you are totally oblivious to.
What does he need to accomplish to balance out his life? To find the right partner. His every emotional fiber calls out for a mate. He needs to share his dreams, his goals, and every waking moment with someone. He looks for beauty in a woman, and for style as well as elegance. Scorpio or Capricorn hangs in there for years with this pairing.(Source)
Professional wrestling legend Randy “Macho Man” Savage, is a Scorpio with his Moon in Libra. (Chart) Savage’s most compelling performances coincided with his real life marriage to Elizabeth Hulette (aka “Miss Elizabeth”), a woman known for her beauty, style, and elegance who happened to be a Scorpio with a Venus/Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn. (Source) That Savage’s career peak came during his marriage is no surprise as Scorpio/Libra individuals only feel themselves when in a compelling partnership.
Savage and Hewlett had actually been married for eight years when the above story-line was developed. Although wedding was staged reports were that both took it as an opportunity to renew their relationship in real life.
Scorpio/Libra is not only one of the most romantic of the 144 Sun/Moon pairings, it’s also one of the most psychologically potent and intensely self-expressive. During his career Savage was renown for his ability to project as psychologically unhinged as Charles Bronson (Scorpio Sun) even as he was dressed as stylishly as Louis Vuitton (Libra Moon). In their book Sun Sign, Moon Sign, astrologers Suzi and Charles Harvey emphasize the Scorpio/Libra individual’s instinctual understanding of madness and capacity for intensely dramatic forms of self-expression:
You are pretty tough cookie, and if you cannot charm your way to the prize, you can certainly turn on the pressure. Although you optimistically hope for the best, you can be shrewdly understanding of the mad, the bad, and the ugly. . . . you need to have access to the dark and terrible to be able to put the boot in, so to speak.
You have a vivid imagination, a keen sense of drama, and probably rhythm, too, and if you take off in an artistic direction you can develop a very subtle yet eloquent manner of self-expression. You can be a charismatic showman with a dramatic delivery. (Source)
Take a look at any circa 1980s clip of Savage for a high volume but fundamentally accurate example of this pairing’s capacity for “eloquent self-expression”, “charismatic showmanship”, and willingness to access the “dark and terrible” parts of the psyche in order to “put the boot in”. All of this was done in pursuit of “the prize”, which for Savage was main-event billing at big time pay-per-views such as Wrestlemania. Given this pairing’s intensely (Scorpio) romantic (Libra) orientation, it’s probably no coincidence that Savage’s most “vividly imaginative” interviews and “keenly dramatic” in-ring performances were those where his beloved was at his side.
Astrologer Jefferson Anderson emphasizes this pairing’s skill at balancing color schemes and ability to succeed in “visually oriented fields such as photography, film, fashion, or interior design.” (Source) If Savage’s wildly colorful ensembles make one thing clear, it’s that the ability to expertly balance color schemes and accessories while projecting as “mad, bad, and ugly” is one of the Scorpio Sun, Libra Moon native’s most clearly delineated strengths.
The combination of a Scorpio Sun’s psychological x-ray vision and a Libra Moon’s instincts for reciprocity endows this pairing with a real aptitude for coaxing the best out of “the other”. This applies in professional relationships as much as in romantic ones. During his wrestling career Savage was greatly admired by colleagues for his ability to make even the most brutish of performers look like polished superstars in the ring. Had he not gone into wrestling he probably could have achieved fame in partner dancing, or at least done very well on a show like “Dancing With the Stars”. Rapper Rob Van Winkle, best known as “Vanilla Ice”, is a Scorpio/Libra whose experienced something of a career resurgence as a result of his superb performances on such shows in Europe:
Each of the 144 Sun/Moon pairings has its own dark side. A pairing as intensely dramatic as Scorpio Sun, Libra Moon is going to have a dark side as intensely dramatic as its light side. The “dark and terrible” side of this pairing is most likely to express itself when the native feels injustices have occurred within the context of a one-to-one partnership, whether romantic or professional. In his book All Around the Zodiac, astrologer Bill Tierney describes the Scorpio Sun, Libra Moon individual’s modus operandi of “first the velvet glove, then the iron fist”:
[This pairing] will negotiate first before resorting to hardball tactics to crush the opposition . . . others better not take advantage of our kindness and patience – which have their limits – since after bending over backwards enough times we’ll simply explode and do a lot of damage to those who have provoked us. Underneath the cultivated, polished way we handle ourselves in the world is more volatile temperament . . . There is much emotional power lurking beneath our surface charm.(Source)
Randy Savage’s ability to project an intensely “volatile temperament” and willingness to engage in “hardball tactics” was the lynchpin of his circa 1989 on-screen feud with Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea). The feud the most financially successful storyline in professional wrestling (soap opera?) history in large part due to Savage’s capacity to come off as so intensely and authentically fed up with Hogan. The fighting in this clip is, of course, staged but Savage’s unhinged tirade touches on what was a real-world truth: that for years he had been bending over backwards to make his more ballyhooed colleague look his best without getting the same in return. Whether in the imaginal world or the real world, a Scorpio/Libra is only going to tolerate such an unbalanced state of affairs for so long before finally exploding:
Years later we would find out that in real life Savage actually did suspect Hogan was responsible for the dissolution of his marriage, a perception that would send a Sun/Moon pairing as commitment minded as Scorpio Sun, Libra Moon completely over the edge. When asked during a circa 1992 out-of-character interview if he ever cries, Savage responded:
It’s okay to show every emotion available, I’ve cried 1,000 times before and I’ll cry some more. I’ve soared with the eagles and slithered with the snakes and been everywhere in between.”(Source)
That’s about a good summary of the Scorpio/Libra individual’s emotional life as you’ll find: emotional powerful and intensely passionate, a seeker of balance but one prone to the occasional revenge fantasy or bout with fanaticism.
According to the Harveys, a metaphoric image for the highest expression of the Scorpio Sun, Libra Moon pairing is “A passionate poet leads a mass demonstration.” (Source) That’s a pretty good approximation of Randy Savage. He wasn’t a passionate poet who led mass demonstrations but he was a passionate performer who evoked the most compelling of emotions from masses of wrestling fans.
Scorpio Sun, Libra Moon Astro-Twins: Wrestler Randy Savage, Actor Leonardo Dicaprio
Actor Leonard Dicaprio is also a Scorpio Sun, Libra Moon. (Chart) A number of Dicaprio’s most famous roles have involved romantic partnerships, most notably Romeo in the 1996 remake of Romeo and Juliet and Jack Dawson in James Cameron’s epic 1997 film Titanic:
Not unlike some of the deeply romantic characters Leonardo Dicaprio has portrayed on stage and screen, the Scorpio Sun, Libra Moon individual can spend his or her entire life searching for their true love. Astrologer Jefferson Anderson writes of this pairing’s capacity for commitment, “Devotion is one of your favorite words, and you may search the globe trying to find someone worthy of your attention and fidelity. Once you do become attached, you will be a model of loyalty.” (Source)
Randy Savage, for instance, married his second wife Lynn Payne in May of 2010 on the same beach they had originally fallen in love as teenagers. Savage was quoted at the time as saying, “Thirty-six years ago, Lynn and I met on Lido Beach. I feel so fortunate that I had a second chance to marry my first love, here where it all began.” (Source)
Many astrologers believe that if you scratch a sign you will find its opposite. Other metaphysical modalities have similar beliefs, that one’s external appearance is the opposite of what they are on the inside. It thus makes sense that somebody known in public as the “Macho Man” would actually be deeply romantic in private. As astrologer Hazel Dixon Cooper says of the Scorpio/Libra individual, “This combination wants a romance novel affair complete with happy ending. If you can be faithful, nurturing, and attentive, you’ll have hit one of the Universe’s jackpots.” (Source)
Sadly, Savage died of a heart attack almost one year to the day after the above photo was taken.
Two weeks after his passing, Savage’s old colleague Hulk Hogan recalled a fortuitous encounter they had just a few months earlier in the middle of a hospital after not having spoken to each other in over 10 years:
I’m sitting there in the doctor’s office on the little chair and the door swings opens . . . I look up and it’s Randy! He was glowing, his eyes were bright, his spirit was up, he had a new wedding ring on! I just want to tell you guys he was up, he was really, really happy. He was in a really good place . . . we all love and miss him very much.(Source)
It makes sense that Savage’s spirit was in such a glowing state during the last months of his time on the earthly plane. For a Sun/Moon pairing as deeply romantic as Scorpio/Libra there’s no better way to spend the final year of their life then by the side of their beloved.

Symbolized as two fish, Pisces is as sensitive to changes in a person’s emotional temperature as fish are to changes in water temperature. Cancer, meanwhile, perceives shifting tides of emotion as accurately as its animal symbol the crab perceives shifting tides of the ocean.
When the intuitive abilities of the fish (Pisces Sun) combine with the emotional intelligence of the crab (Cancer Moon) the result is one of most caring, compassionate, sensitive and deeply emotionally of the 144 Sun/Moon pairings. When Bill Clinton said “I feel your pain” it’s highly unlikely that he meant it. A Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon person may not specifically say “I feel your pain” but you can bet that they do. And whatever else you’re feeling as well.
At its highest expression, this pairing is as attuned to subtle undercurrents of the emotional world as a school of fish are attuned to subtle undercurrents of the sea:
Contemplating how that school of fish relates to its environment will provide you with an excellent feel for how a Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon experiences the world. For this pairing the watery realm emotional worlds is everything.
This pairing does best in the healing professions where it’s empathic abilities can be put to their fullest use. Astrologers Suzi and Charles Harvey tell the Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon individual, “You can identify with people’s pain and fear because you have had plenty to deal with on your own.” (Source) Astrologer Bill Tierney makes a similar point about this pairing, describing its inclination towards heartfelt involvement in philanthropic endeavors as follows:
Being highly sympathetic, this pairing is moved by the plight of people undergoing difficult times. They are more emphatic than judgmental.
These [combination of] energies can be used to support universal causes that demand heightened public awareness, usually involving whatever it takes to eradicate suffering . . This ability comes through loud and clear when we involve ourselves in charitable events or projects of a humanitarian nature. Our maternal warmth is offered unconditionally. (Source)
Using the date of its as its date of birth, the organization ACTUP is a Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon. (Chart) You’ll be hard pressed to find an organization that did more to address people’s suffering, expressed more empathy for those unfairly judged by society, or who offered more unconditional compassion for those in severe pain than ACTUP.
For those who may not remember, ACTUP stands for “AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power”. During its hey-dey of the 1980s and early 1990s it was the premier organization lobbying for the rights of people afflicted with a disease that was as terrifying as it was mysterious. As the above video reminds us, during the early days of the AIDS epidemic there was serious talk among policymakers of rounding up AIDS patients into internment camps and even tattooing them so they would be identifiable by the general population.
In addition to being one of the most empathic of the 144 Sun/Moon pairings, Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon is also one of the most theatrical. The psychic faculties of Pisces combine with the intuitive prowess of Cancer to produce a person (or organization) that is excellent at deeply feeling, mimicking, and projecting human emotions onto the stage or screen. Not coincidentally, members of ACTUP performed a lot of very emotionally powerful street theater.
The Harveys tell us that one of metaphoric images for this pairing is “An actress plays Clara Barton (founder of the Red Cross) and is so inspired by her life that she leaves the theatre to become a doctor”. (Source) That happens to be an excellent metaphoric approximation of ACTUP as it combines the dramatic flair of the theater with the compassionate service of an organization whose goal is to relieve human suffering.
Even those Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon natives who go into distinctly non-healing professions will somehow find themselves tending to the emotional health of others. NFL running back Reggie Bush, for instance, is a Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon. (Bush’s Chart) At first glance you might not think a heterosexual African American football player best known for dating Kim Kardashian would have much in common with an organization comprised mostly of (rightfully) pissed off gay men like ACTUP. But Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon is a double water pairing so there is always more to the person than meets the eye. So just stick with me on this one . . .
Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon can cope with inundations of water (emotion) better than any other Sun/Moon pairing. Bush signed his first NFL contract with the New Orleans Saints just a few months after Hurricane Katrina left the city inundated with emotional and economic despair. According to a 2006 USA Today article, Bush came to be seen by residents of New Orleans as nearly saint-like both for the emotional relief his presence generated and for the aid projects he personally financed:
At a May ceremony, the Rev. William Maestri, superintendent of Catholic schools in the New Orleans archdiocese, likened Bush to St. Reginald of Orleans, a 13th-century French saint who helped establish the Dominican order. After the student body ended with a “Reggie, Reggie” chant, Glaser says, “You could see he was truly moved. He was teary-eyed.” (Source)
The Harveys’ second metaphoric image for the Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon individual is, “A medical missionary voyages east . . .” (Source) That’s an excellent approximation of Bush’s time in New Orleans. While not an actual missionary, the profoundly uplifting effect his presence had on the city’s collective emotional health was comparable to what only the most successful of medical missionaries could hope to inspire.
Actor Kurt Russell is a Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon who also has a Mars/Venus conjunction in Aries just like Reggie Bush. (Russell’s Chart) People with the same Sun/Moon pairing (“Astro-twins”) often bear a impossible to dismiss resemblance to each other even if they’re obviously not related by blood. Take a look at this screenshot of Russell taken from the 1976 television show The Quest and compare it to a screenshot of Bush taken from a 2011 television interview:
Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon Astro-Twins: Actor Kurt Russell and Miami Dolphins Running Back Reggie Bush
Notice any similarities?
Astro-twin resemblances are more about vibe, demeanor, and the physical ingraining of habitual emotional patterns than simply looks. The phenomenon thus crosses racial boundaries, as the above photos make clear.
Russell, by the way, played professional baseball for four years before going into acting full time. (Source) Many of his most memorable roles, such as Snake Plissken in the Escape series of films, required a thespian who was equal parts actor and athlete. Pisces Sun, Cancer Moon is a great combination for the theater while a Mars/Venus conjunction in Aries (the Warrior) is an excellent placement for athletics. Put the two together and you’ve got a person who can excel at athletically demanding forms of theater . . . while also working to relieve the suffering of others. Kurt Russell, for instance, is a Board Member of the humanitarian aviation organization Wings of Hope (WOH). According to its Wikipedia page, Wings of Hope:
. . . locates and arranges for advanced health care usually for children with massive birth defects and then transports them to and from that care for years until all treatments are completed. The service is provided at no-cost.” (Source)
That a Pisces/Cancer organization like ACTUP and Pisces/Cancer individuals would all be involved in efforts to relieve suffering makes perfect sense. Astrologer Jacqueline Bigar writes of this combination, “This pairing instinctively reaches out for others in physical or psychic pain, knowing that a touch or expression can help.” (Source)
Aquarius Sun, Aries Moon is a combination that excels at creating disruption. Astrologer Jefferson Anderson refers to this pairing as “the pacemaker who is always ten steps ahead of everyone else physically and intellectually.” (Source) Astrologers Suzi and Charles Harvey tell us this pairing possesses “a special knack for poking fun at the hypocrisies of the status quo.” (Source)
Comedian Chris Rock is an Aquarius Sun, Aries Moon. (Chart) Only an Aquarius Sun, Aries Moon like Rock would have the audacity to tell white Americans, “At a time like this you really should be voting for the whitest candidate” and then proceed to explain why Mitt Romney is more black than Barack Obama:
During the 2008 election it was Rock who make the heretical observation, “What the fuck is Michael Vick in jail for when Sarah Palin is out running around shooting moose and shit, holding up the dead’s moose head?” Fast forward to 1:55 if you need a good laugh:
As far as this election goes: Obama is corporate owned through and through. He’s gifted billions (trillions?) to Wall Street, totally lowered the boom on medical marijuana while drastically expanding the surveillance state and the drone wars. None of this should be a surprise. Anybody paying attention back in 2008 would have seen that his top contributors were Goldman Sachs, MBNA, and others of their ilk. But at least we still have access to things like birth control. If Romney gets in, all bets are off as he is beholden the radical, reactionary wing(s) of the Republican party. Economically his modus operandi couldn’t be more clear. This is a guy who will derive some type of sick pleasure from doing to the United States what his old firm Bain Captial did to KB Stores. “What?” you ask. Yeah, remember KB Stores? They don’t really exist anymore because Bain Capital bought them out and then profited handsomely by systematically destroying them. (If you want the whole sordid story on what Bain did to KB stores click here for Matt Taibbi’s expose in Rolling Stone.)
Strange coincidence: Romney is a Pisces Sun, Scorpio Moon. So too is Joseph Cassano, the executive at AIG who is considered “Patient Zero” in the 2008 financial collapse. (Source) It was Cassano who engineered the incomprehensibly complex network of financial derivatives that blew the world economy sky-high four years ago. He walked away with hundreds of millions in bonuses for his efforts and now lives comfortably in Connecticut.
Obviously there are much better representatives of Pisces Sun, Scorpio Moon combination than Cassano and Romney. John Steinbeck, author of The Grapes of Wrath, is also a Pisces Sun, Scorpio Moon. (Chart) Unfortunately if Romney gets his way he’ll finish off what Cassano started back in 2008 by instituting Grapes of Wrath economic “reforms”, Bain capital style.
The consensus among astrologers who do predictive astrology is that Obama will win. (Source) I’m not so sure. He might get the most votes, he might even win the electoral college but that doesn’t mean he’ll end up as president for a second term. Obama could “win” but Romney could easily steal the election, slip/slide his way into office, and totally get away with it because he’s backed by billionaires and that’s how the American corporate state (ACS) works. You won’t find many poor black people who fail to grasp the potential reality of this because they’re quite familiar with how the “cold boot of authority” operates, to quote author James Howard Kunstler. (Source)
Obama has allowed and will continue to allow the wealthy to feed on the upper middle class and the rich. Romney, if he gets into office, will allow them to feast. And yes, there is a difference between the two. As usual, poor people will be totally fucked either way although this time probably even more fucked under the blacker candidate – a reality that only a heretic like Chris Rock has the courage to point out.
Combine the Pluto powered magnetism of a Scorpio Sun with the stunning stage presence of a Leo Moon and the result is a Sun/Moon pairing that will have jaws dropping, heads turning, and pulses racing. Dramatic and magnetic, determined and ambitious, this pairing is difficult to resist and impossible to ignore. If this pairing has a theme song it’s either “Number One Stunna” by Birdman or “This is Why I’m Hot” by MIMS. Actress Veronica Lake, Hollywood’s original smokin’ hot femme fatale show-stopper, is a Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon. (Chart)
Scorpio Sun represents the darkest of the dark while Leo Moon represents the brightest of the bright. The combination is correlated with high contrast and high drama. According to astrologer Jefferson Anderson, the collision of late autumn darkness with mid-summer sunshine produces the “Magnificent Obsession” who will be anything but pedestrian as they walk through life:
You stand apart from the crowd. A rugged individualist, you have tremendous confidence and self-sustaining vitality, which make it unnecessary for you to rely on others for encouragement. People sense you are a leader for your presence alone is compelling.
With a strong sense of the dramatic, you rarely do things halfway, and your actions and behavior are usually designed to attract attention.(Source)
Actress Julia Roberts, who has been named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People in the World” list eleven times, is a Scorpio/Leo. (Chart) Like many Scorpio/Leo natives Roberts has major workaholic tendencies, having starred in a total of 42 films in the last 22 years.
One of the most intensely romantic of the 144 Sun/Moon pairings, relationships are of extraordinary importance to this pairing. Actors do best in roles that match their Sun/Moon pairing so it’s no coincidence that Roberts is best known for roles in films with distinctly romantic themes such as Pretty Woman, My Best Friend’s Wedding, and Eat Pray Love.
Actress Gabrielle Union is also a Scorpio/Leo who has carved out a successful acting career in romantic themed films such as Two Can Play That Game, Deliver Us from Eva and The Honeymooners. (Chart) Like many Scorpio/Leo natives Union is known for her compelling presence, attention getting style, and near total immunity to would be haters:
This pairing can be more than a handful in relationships. Union, for instance, has been banned from sitting court side at Miami Heat basketball games for her intense trash talking of players, fans, referees, and even her own boyfriend NBA superstar Dwayne Wade. (Source)
Not unlike her fellow Scorpio/Leo Julia Roberts, Union is a legit “Number One Stunner” whose show-stopping hair style has been known to, quite literally, set off the body scanner security alarms at airports:
Actress Lauren Hutton, a former Vogue cover model and Revlon spokeswoman, is also a Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon. (Chart) At age 61 she is still a “number one stunner”, having recently posed naked and guest starred on the television show Nip, Tuck. (Source) Her Scorpio/Leo astrological pedigree comes through quite clearly in the 1984 film Once Bitten where she plays a centuries old vampire who keeps herself going by romancing much younger men, including the then 22 year old Jim Carrey.
Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon: The Show Stopper and the Good Samaritan
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Julia Roberts, Gabrielle Union and other Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon natives such as Veronica Lake and Lauren Hutton are known for stopping traffic, setting off body scanner alarms and stunning the daylights out of scandalously younger men. There’s much more to this pairing than just bright lights, big hair, and show-stopping style. Scorpio Sun, at its most profound, has an deep understanding of others’ emotional pain. Leo Moon, at its most generous, will give of its time, energy, and money as freely as the Sun gives its light and warmth. The combination make for a Sun/Moon pairing that will bring sunshine (Leo) to those trapped within even the most subterranean of emotional situations (Scorpio). Gabrielle Union, for instance, has donated generously to rape crisis centers. Commenting on why she has chosen to be public on the matter:
This is why I now lobby for state legislatures across the country and the federal government to help raise funds and awareness for rape crisis centers, and I speak to all different kinds of people across the country about what happened to me. My goal is to never hear the words ‘me too’ from someone after I say ‘I was raped.’ (Source)
Union’s Sun (identity) is closely conjunct her Black Moon Lilith, a point which in astrological canon represents the female survivor archetype. (Source) Her identity (Sun) is thus closely connected to being a survivor (Black Moon Lilith) of the darker experiences that people with Scorpio emphasized in their charts often endure.
According to the Harveys, two metaphoric images that capture the highest expression of the Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon combination are, “A Samaritan mirrors sunshine into the depths of a dark pit bringing hope to those who live there . . . A sexy superstar creates a new charity.” (Source) Both images happen to be an excellent approximation of Mrs. Union. A sexy superstar, she has mirrored sunshine into the depths of the dark emotional pit that survivors of sexual assault so often fall into.
Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon Astro-Twins: Actress Gabrielle Union, CEO George Zimmer
The Harveys’ images also happen to be excellent approximations of one of Union’s Scorpio/Leo astro-twins, Men’s Warehouse CEO George Zimmer. (Chart) If Zimmer’s name doesn’t ring a bell his commercials for Men’s Warehouse probably will. They’re the ones that end with Zimmer delivering his signature line, “You’re gonna look great, I guarantee it.”
A go-getter in the business world and a superstar of men’s clothing who specializes in helping others look like number one stunners, Zimmer has donated generously to marijuana legalization efforts. (Source) He’s also helped finance research into the use of MDMA, commonly called “Ecstasy”, as a therapy for those suffering from PTSD. A study he donated money for in 2005 included a rape victim who had suffered from nightmares for twenty five years. (Source)
People with the same Sun/Moon pairing often bear an impossible to dismiss resemblance to each other even if they’re obviously not related by blood. For instance, take a look at these photos of Gabrielle Union and George Zimmer and notice how the camera picks up on a vibe of charismatic self-confidence and magnetic vitality in both of them:
Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon: The Showstopper, The Number One Stunner (Photo copyrights Nick Stepowyj, Thomas Hawk)
That Gabrielle Union and George Zimmer would both be legit number one stunners who also help those trapped in darkness is no surprise given their astrological pedigree. At its most noble expression Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon is both the showstopper who slows traffic with their superstar style and the Good Samaritan who renders assistance to those in desperate need.

The neat thing about astrology is you can run a chart for pretty much anything: a person, a government agency, a film, etc. To illustrate: a hobby of mine is looking up the charts of pharmaceutical drugs (“entities” I call them) based on the dates their patents were filed. From a wellness standpoint it’s useful to check the charts of any pharmaceuticals you’ve taken or might take and compare those charts to your own chart. By ingesting the drug you are literally merging with it just as you merge with a lover. Performing a synastry analysis between your chart and the drug’s chart is thus a very prudent consideration, particularly since Saturn (karma) is now in Scorpio (mergers).
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy it occurred to me to look up the chart for what is believed to be the primary patent for the technology used in HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program). For those who don’t know what HAARP is: Officially it’s a ionospheric research program jointly funded by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Navy, the University of Alaska, and DARPA but a number of informed analysts have suspected it’s a weaponized form of weather manipulation. If weather manipulation sounds outlandish or the province of conspiracy theory it really isn’t. The New Zealand government, for instance, was studying how to weaponize tsunamis as far back as World War II. (Source) In 1996 an internal report by the U.S. Air Force report indicated weather patterns will be fully weaponized by 2025. (Source)
The HAARP installation, pictured above, is located in remote part of Alaska and was built by the defense contractor BAE Advanced Technologies. BAE is, among other things, one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of electronic warfare systems. (Source)
Here’s the chart for the primary patent associated with HAARP:
We don’t know what time it was filed but I’m going to guess 9:30 am. This places the ascendant in late Aquarius, the sign of technology. More importantly it makes Uranus in Sagittarius the chart ruler, right on the Midheaven. The Midheaven represents a chart’s relationship to the public at large, including the government, while astrologer Raven Kaldera has associated Uranus in Sagittarius with the myth of “Oya”, an Afro-Caribbean weather goddess who manipulates winds, thunderstorms, and lightning strikes:
Lightning and thunder and rain and wind. Stolen fire in a pot. Smashed crockery. The while of purple cloth and copper beads. A swarm of locusts, a charging water buffalo. A glass knife slashing, a spinning top. A tornado sweeping the sand clean and white.
Oya is the weather goddess of the Afro-Caribbean Yoruba religion. Capricious as a lightning strike, one calls on her at one’s own risk. (Source)
Regardless of where HAARP’s ascendant is, the chart for its patent has a Mars/Uranus square. Adrian Ross Duncan says Mars/Uranus squares are associated with “shock tactics” while Sue Tompkins associates them with “sudden violence”. (Source) HAARP’s Mars is in Pisces which means the “shock tactics” or “sudden violence” will involve Piscean matters: deception, diffusion, drugs, and chemicals.
