Joaquin 10/28/74

I would love to learn more about astrology. There’s so much to read about this fascinating subject.

Casey Affleck’s – ‘I’m Still Here’–chronicles a day in the life of Joaquin Phoenix in an uncomfortable style designed to unsettle and fascinate the viewer. Sort of akin to the magnetism of driving past a pile up on I-95 slowly with a tinge of ‘whew, I’m glad that’s not me’ mixed with ‘I really shouldn’t be looking at this….’
Joaquin, like Owen Wilson and other Scorpios has an intense need to withdraw from the eye of public life coupled with tremendous talent.
Whether he is ‘Loose Upstairs” (aren’t we all, really?) or grappling with reality on his terms…well, that may be a question that only he can answer–or well try to—and that is part of the self destruction of Scorpio.
The sign is ruled by Pluto (but jointly with Mars–so fear not if astronomy does deem it a rather large icecube with irratic orbit vs. a bone fide planet) and there is a tremedous urge to destroy and rebuild that must be channeled. It can be directed towards others or the self. But, this regenerative process makes for a very, very capable individual–OR NOT. ‘What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger.’
Let’s hope Joaquin will resurrect himself into a galvanized incarnation on his road to personal salvation. (and yeah, it is about as deep as that…..)
For less complicated fare–try Gemini with a Libra Moon.
