THE ASTROLOGY OF “TIGER KING: MURDER, MAYHEM AND MADNESS” ON NETFLIX
Joe Exotic from “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” is a Pisces Sun with a Cancer Moon. His chart is heavy with Water Sign energy, with many planets existing here. This brings him a highly emotional energy, and with his Neptune in Scorpio, also makes him dangerously persuasive and even emotionally manipulative. Pisces are known for their obsessive tendencies and can be prone to illusion and not living within reality. His wildly fantastical nature is further emphasized by his Mars (passion) in expressive Leo. Last, his Pluto is directly opposed to his Sun in Pisces. This means he has a further enhanced obsessive personality and is passionate about control. Also, it shows that change and transformation are a constant within his life.
Interestingly enough, Carole Baskin from “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” is a Gemini Sun with a Pisces Moon. This means that she is highly intellectual, vocal, and communicative. She is exceptionally passionate about being heard and all sorts of writing and communication (which is clear in her animal activism). Geminis are known for their need to write, speak, and carry their message—President Trump is a Gemini, as well. However, with a Pisces Moon, she, too, can be prone to self-delusion and martyrdom.
"Mahamayavi Bhagavan" Kevin Antle, also known as Doc Antle, from “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” is also a Pisces Sun. As mentioned before, Pisces are exceptionally sensitive and emotional people and can become entirely consumed by their feelings, passions, and ideas. They often are not living “entirely” within the real world and are prone to seeing the world from fantastic perspectives. Pisces, ruled by Neptune, have a natural affinity to things that are exotic or different, as this planet has ties to art and spirituality, but also Hollywood, drugs, and cult-like phenomena. Clearly, Doc’s passion for animals and Hollywood have been expressed in his life due to his ties to both.
As for the clear clash between Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin, the first thing to note is that Joe (a Pisces Sun) and Carole (a Gemini Sun) have very little in common from an ideological perspective. Joe is motivated by his feelings and passions (and often will feel like a victim when it comes to other people), whereas Carole approaches the world from a highly mental and intellectual perspective. She is wittier than him and will be able to react from a vocal and mental perspective when Joe is lost in his sensitivity. Joe’s emotions and moods can swing more than Carole’s, especially as she tries to be the intellectual superior in all situations. Both are Mutable Signs, which shows that they can be versatile and flexible in their ideas and life, but they are known to be “square” to each other, which represents conflict and challenges when interacting. Their hatred is further motivated by their Moon Signs both being in Water Signs, which means they take things extremely personal and can have emotionally manipulative tendencies on people and crowds around them.
