Apple CEO Tim Cook Is ‘Proud to Be Gay’



The CEO of Apple announced he’s gay Thursday, in an essay that puts him among the highest-profile publicly out business leaders in the world. “I’m proud to be gay, and I consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me,” Tim Cook, who took the reins of the world’s most valuable company from the late co-founder Steve Jobs, writes in Bloomberg Businessweek. The highly private Cook has never publicly acknowledged his sexuality, though it was widely rumored outside the company, and he writes that colleagues at Apple already knew. http://time.com/3547893/tim-cook-gay-apple/



Timothy Donald "Tim" Cook  was born November 1, 1960 in Mobile, Alabama. His radix Sun [9sc] is conjunct Neptune [9sc] and opposite Hades [9ta] – the TNP associated with secrets. About this conjunction in Tim’s chart Astropost [1] writes:

Kind of interesting that the CEO of Apple is a man with Sun conjunct Neptune in his natal chart. This aspect signals discretion, 'double lives', a romantic, fantastic or idealistic view of the world and being either a dreamer or a visionary person. It seems that his sexual orientation is a secret.








Well then, the obvious question is what happened for Tim Cook to reveal his sexual orientation? Shown here is the chart for the First Quarter Moon at Mobile, Alabama – Cook’s birthplace. Firstly, the Sun[17sc]; Venus [9sc] square Moon [7aq] form a T-square to his radix Sun-Neptune-Hades. The Moon is conjunct a Super Nova – SN1987A about which Philip Sedgwick writes in his The Soul of the Sky.

First and foremost, metaphorical interpretations to emerge from SN 1987A symbolize the necessary evolution of ego/psychology to soul/spirit. The pre-explosion mass loss symbolically represents the shedding of unnecessary defenses, attachments or "baggage." Now it's showtime! Suddenly, virtually instantly, in all one's splendor, everything about the core of one's being burst forth, displayed with peacock-like pride as soon as life’s unnecessary matter gets shed. The SN 1987A individual becomes a symbol of inner evolution. Striking results appear as a result of one's internal "journey." The before and after implications reflect brilliantly for everyone outside the self to see. One bursts through the shell of defensiveness, permitting a vista into the core of their being, with no harboring hesitation. The message is clear. Not evolving is destructive.

The Moon also lies opposite Juno, asteroid of relationships and partnerships of all types, thus creating a T-square with Pallas, the Sun and Venus. Martha Wescott provides the following key phrase for Pallas

Pallas: whether one is willing and/or able to do those things that will please another.

In other words with Juno square Pallas, the question is whether in matters connected with relationships one is ready to lead a “double life” just to please others.

Kronos-Hades: People in high places keep secrets.

Hades-Pluto: unacknowledged emotions bring an internal festering; to recognize that a catharsis demands return to the past and a confrontation with secrets or one’s history. (Note: Eros is conjunct Pluto so that some of these secrets are about sexuality)

Uranus-Pluto: sudden events connected with emergent (formerly repressed) psychological content.

The TNP Hades [4cn] on the Ascendant is conjunct the star Mu (μ) Gemini, Tejat Posterior,[5cn] in the right heel of the northern Twin, Castor, in the constellation of the Twins. About this star Nick Fiorenza [2] writes:

Alignments with the foot of Castor can indicate hiding in the closet or in one's own mental obscurations and illusions. Tejat indicates that it is time to come out of hiding, to become visible, to stand forth in the limelight to be seen, and to make self available or approachable. Tejat will bring forth that which has been suppressed to be seen and in doing so may draw experiences that are reflections of parts of our selves that seem rather dark and opposing to our unfoldment. Forces of the mortal world may indeed be out for our demise, but they are our worthy opponents, for they reflect the fears, hesitancies, and blockages within our selves to step through into our paths of fulfillment in the world. Tejat asks that us be willing to walk through the shadows of self to claim our power and place in the physical world.
