O.J. Simpson has his Sun in Cancer. There seems to be little doubt that he has a quick temper, which isn’t unusual for this sign. Boxer Mike Tyson is a Cancerian, so was King Henry VIII.
Henry VIII was not someone to mess with, and he wasn’t particularly forgiving. Most importantly, he was a dangerous person to marry – of his six wives, two had their heads chopped off, for alleged adultery. Their supposed lovers suffered a similar or worse fate.
But I’m digressing. The sign Cancer can be very emotional, and Cancerians tend to have high expectations of their partners. Also, they can find it difficult to let go. Indeed, Cancerians have a sentimental streak, and links with the past can be very important to them. Which takes us to O.J. Simpson’s recent conviction, for robbery and kidnapping.
Last year, O.J. Simpson and others entered a hotel room in Las Vegas, and at gunpoint took O.J. Simpson memorabilia from a memorabilia dealer. O.J. Simpson claimed that the memorabilia belonged to him. This is a key point. The memorabilia were a part of his life, a part of his history, and as a Cancerian he wanted it back. I hope, when it comes to sentencing, that the court takes into account O.J. Simpson’s star sign. Assuming his appeals fail.
As has been widely reported, O.J. Simpson was convicted in Las Vegas exactly thirteen years after his acquittal for the murdering of his wife – the conviction was on October 3 2008, the acquittal on October 3 1995.
Thirteen years is the amount of time it takes for Pluto to go through a sign, at this stage in its cycle. When O.J. Simpson was acquitted in 1995 the planet Pluto was at 28 degrees and 40 minutes of Scorpio. When he was convicted thirteen years later, it was at 28 degrees and 39 minutes of Sagittarius. The conviction isn’t about O.J. Simpson, or perhaps even about his Karma. It’s about the tail-end end of a collective obsession.
To be more specific, Pluto’s movement through Sagittarius, since 1995, has been about an obsession with celebrity.
Celebrities are different, and they’re people to be emulated. I don’t know whether or not O.J. Simpson killed his wife, but his celebrity status might well have had an impact on the 1995 verdict. Pluto was on the verge of moving from Scorpio to Sagittarius, and it was a taste of things to come. Now, in 2008, Pluto is about to move into Capricorn. Society will become more serious, and celebrity status won’t cut so much ice.
