Joker
is a 2019 American psychological thriller film. The film, based on DC Comics
characters, stars Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker. Distributed by Warner Bros.
Pictures, it is intended to launch DC Black, a series of DC-based standalone
films. The film, which acts as an origin story for the Joker, is set in 1981 and
follows Arthur Fleck, a mentally ill, impoverished stand-up comedian
disregarded by society, whose lack of success causes him to become a nihilistic
criminal. In the film, the Joker is depicted as a sort “angry virgin,” whose
turn to villainy is a result of the mockery and bullying he encounters from his
peers as well as his frustration over lacking attention or affection.
The cosmic clock ticking, as planets pursue their motion
and form celestial patterns, provides a flavor, a meaning, or a message for
each passing minute or for a whole epoch. Of all these transits, astrologers
regard a solar eclipse as a momentous event which colors the period that
follows for at least 6 months. While an eclipse is a worldwide event, it
primarily affects those places where it falls on the horizon or meridian. The total solar eclipse [10cn27] of July 2 fell
on the horizon axis opposite Saturn-Pluto at Venice where Joker premiered at the Venice International Film Festival on August
31, 2019. The Sabian symbol [1][2] for the eclipse degree is:
PHASE 101 (CANCER
11°): A CLOWN CARICATURING WELL-KNOW PERSONALITIES.
KEYNOTE: The value
of humor in developing objectivity and independence of mind.
Humor and irony is
a powerful tool in assessing the value of socio-cultural realities, and thereby
in freeing oneself from glamour and prejudice. Laughter deconditions and often paves the way to a
realization that we need not be unduly impressed by what our tradition has more
or less forced upon our consciousness. The clown, of course, is the more
popular manifestation of this urge to laugh, which seems to be such a basic
characteristic of human nature. Caricature and satire are more intellectual
forms of the same need for
intellectual freedom.
An extract from a previous post reminds us about the dynamics
of Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn.
Pluto’s stripping
away process is programmed to destroy Capricorn’s false walls. The transit
serves to expose the corrupt workings of the system…. The liability of
conformity to externally imposed paradigms
can come with a high price tag. People live tragic lives because they
have been taught to believe that there is no other way for them to exist except
to follow the rules laid down by authority figures. With Pluto in Capricorn,
people are learning to separate from consensus based ideologies and lifestyles
and to develop and align with internal authority.
Doesn’t the Sabian
symbol with its portrayal of the need for “deconditioning” and “intellectual freedom”
bring out the message of Saturn-Pluto quite well! And more importantly, Saturn-Pluto
is a combination that is associated with attainment of success against powerful
forces out to victimize you.
Finally, let us pass the eclipse chart through the test
that we use regularly on this site. If the eclipse is indeed relevant to the Joker, the progressed angles should
trigger the eclipse on August 31, the day of the premier. And indeed they do.
Look at the chart progressed to Aug. 31. Notice that the eclipse which was on
the descendant now reaches the lower meridian on that date and is therefore
triggered.
Did the heavens conspire for the Joker to win the Golden
Lion, the festival's highest prize!?
