ASTROLOGY PREDICTIONS FOR HOLLYWOOD WITH THE WGA AND SAG-AFTRA STRIKE
While I do hope that my many friends in Hollywood all come together in peace, prosperity, and teamwork, there are many cosmic factors that are affecting the situation, at large. Please share this information with anyone who may be interested in what is happening from an astrological angle.
In 2023, Venus, the planet of money and art, is spending a very long time in the zodiac sign of Leo—the zodiac sign that rules performance, entertainment, actors, and “celebrities.” On one hand, this can stimulate deep levels of creativity, but it will also bring many karmic lessons around art and money in the entertainment industry. This is because Venus will retrograde—or turn backwards and “fall asleep”—from July 22 until September 3. All Venus retrograde cycles bring intense shifts, resurrecting situations and plans from the past to face us once again. Venus began to “slow down” on June 19 and will still be in a sluggish phase until October 7—these are particularly important key dates.
Another crucial cosmic factor is that Jupiter, the planet of expansion and growth, is currently in the zodiac sign of Taurus, which rules money, resources, and the skills that we possess, particularly in regards to how we monetize. Taurus also rules “worth” and “value” —so with Jupiter expanding these themes on a collective level, we will find our attention fixated upon them. Another significant point to note is that Jupiter began to “slow down” in Taurus on June 11, and on this exact day, it squared — or was in conflict — with Venus in Leo. Venus and Jupiter will be in conflict three times due to the retrograde phase, again showing that art and money are at odds. Key dates to watch for information and the evolving story are June 11, August 22, and finally September 17. However, I do not think that negotiations will be resolved at those times. Unfortunately, I think that will take place later.
My honest assessment is that because this is an evolving story with many moving pieces, I think that the greatest progress happens between September 3 and October 7. In a best case scenario, things could reach a conclusion, then. Yet, I worry that things could also take a bit longer — and when it comes to making predictions, it’s also important to recognize that humanity has free will.
If matters are not finalized by October 7, the next key moment will be the solar eclipse in Libra — which rules contracts and negotiations — on October 14. This may move things forward, hopefully to lock things down. The solar eclipse in Libra stimulates great discussion because it is united with Mercury, the planet of communication, but it is clashing with Pluto, the planet of domination and powerful authority figures and big business. This shows that some agreement will be found, but there will be a need for complete submission around other issues at large. Venus, the ruler of this eclipse, is also under siege from Saturn, again revealing that no one will be entirely happy with the final contract. Yet, the lunar eclipse in Taurus — which rules wealth and payment — on October 28 could be the final piece in the puzzle. This eclipse is a bit better, bringing luck, stability, and a feeling of passion and productivity to get moving forward. Eclipses carry immense karmic influence, and this will be the final eclipse in Taurus until the 2030s. Keep in mind that things are gridlocked at this time, but like any situation that involves intense pressure, great energy is released once the pieces move forward once again.
