Blake Lively has Pluto conjunct her Imum Coeli (I.C.). That is a nuclear bomb embedded in the foundation of your house. Pluto is personal for her. Fear. Death. Rebirth. Rising from the ashes. She has a tremedous ability to burn her house to the ground. That has been on display recently with her failed lawsuit against the production company of Justin Baldoni. The Midheaven of career exactly opposes the I.C. of home and family. Setting off the bomb inside her home resulted in the public exposure of the crater she has created.
Blake’s Pluto was an unexploded bomb until Justin Baldoni came along with his Scorpio Mars. His Mars set off her fuse. The movie they made was an increadible success but then it turned into an incredible mess. That is a Pluto-Mars conjunction in synastry. I absolutely hate to see any Mars-Pluto aspect in synastry, it is too volatile and frankly dangerous. These two should not be left alone together. Other astrologers may say you just have to both be well adjusted…blah, blah, blah. That’s just happy glitter and sunbeam talk. I say run. Cut the cords. Pull the karma parachute. Get out while you can. A nuclear detonator and a fuse do not belong together unless you want an explosion. It Ends With Us real life sequel could be written It Ends Us.
Justin Baldoni is a cool Aquarius Sun square a Scorpio Moon. Sun square moon is a harsh aspect to carry. You never feel you have done the right thing. This setup is about him practicing detachment even though he wants to obsess hard.
The I.C. opposes the Midheaven which is associated with the career and the public. The legal drama that has played out between Lively and Baldoni is based on their Scorpio Mars-Pluto conjunction. For Blake, its foundational. The I.C. Her core. Her emotional security. For Justin, it was fight over his resources. Mars in the second house. The detached Aquarius Sun square Pluto Moon man.
His sexuality and masculinity threatened power. He provoked fear. It is hard to know what really happened between them but it is highly likely whatever created the issue was not surficial but instead much deeper. The lawsuit revealed that she took control of their work and it was this demonstrated power that defeated her complaints. You can’t be the boss and complain that the boss took advantage of you. You can’t say you were powerless as you dictated every major decision involving yourself. The bomb’s clock was ticking down with each Plutonic power move she made.
We have seen the fallout from Blake’s Pluto because the blown up bits are littering her career. What about Justin’s Mars? A Scorpio Mars is not innocent. This is a Mars that keeps their actions under wraps, we will probably never really know what happened between them. It is likely that his Scorpio Mars lies in his second house. His personal wealth. Any outward sign of his actions would be seen, if it is seen at all, in the opposing eighth house. That is the house of other people’s wealth. Most likely Wayfarer Studio. They are officially out of the lawsuit with no rights to appeal. His Mars opposes his Taurus Juno and that points to his wife. The family seems to have relocated to Tennessee.
As I write today, Blake Lively is trying to restore her image having been seen in public at the Met Ball and also out with her husband seemingly undisturbed by having spent some or maybe more than some of the family fortune on a lawsuit. Besides his acting career, Ryan Reynolds owned a piece of Aviation Gin and Mint Mobile that, when they sold, should have netted him hundreds of millions of dollars. Yet the family dream house construction is stalled and mechanics’ leins worth $2 million have been filed. Where did the over $100 million in Aviation Gin and over $300 million in Mint Mobile go? Some outlets report that the lawsuit legal fees for both parties may have tallied $60 million. There are rumors of a new UK house.
The contractors haven’t been paid. The dream house has the forlorn look of ruins. The career prospects don’t seem bright and next year, Blake Lively turns 40. Still there is that rumored new home purchase in the UK where Ryan owns a part of the Welsh association football club Wrexham. Does it really matter that their four children are unrooted for a new life away from the crater in New York? It is hard to say as they kids might need a fresh start too. Rising from the ashes. The lawsuit itself would have been represented by Blake’s seventh house ruled by Ceres conjunct Uranus. This could also rule a divorce later as well. Uranus is associated with sudden shakeups. Ceres is the planet that rules her personal wealth and security. While not absolutely an inauspicious aspect for a lawsuit, sudden shakeups in wealth could go two ways but when you have significant resources to lose, it does represent a gamble. The connection to Pluto is much of the issue. Rising from the ashes is connected to a sudden shakeup in her personal wealth.
Where had Justin Baldoni disappeared too? His part in the lawsuit seemingly has disappeared. After a dismissal of her claims against him, all that remains is a claim to get attorney’s fees and some damages in California because he made an unsuccessful countersuit of defamation. Blake Lively may win something but it is likely to be pyhrric at best. Rising from the ashes usually means that everything from before has completely burned to ash. It Ends With Us says it all.
