Actresses Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives) and Lori Loughlin (Full House), along with 50 others, many of them celebrities or CEOs of major companies, have been accused of paying massive bribes to get their children into America’s top colleges. They have been released on bail.
Felicity Huffman, 9 December 1962,is a Sun Sagittarius with a pushily confident and risk-taking Jupiter opposition Pluto Uranus; and a flamboyant Mars in Leo with a determined Venus Neptune in Scorpio square Saturn in Aquarius and a Taurus Moon. Tr Neptune is squaring her Sun now and that runs on into early 2020. She’s also got a scary/trapped tr Pluto square her Sun/Mars midpoint running through this year.
Her husband William Macy (Shameless TV series), who hasn’t been charged, 13 March 1950, is a downbeat Sun Pisces opposition Saturn in Virgo and has tr Neptune opposing his Saturn this year and squaring the Sun/Saturn midpoint into 2020 for a longish phase of uncertainty and worry. His relationship chart with Felicity looks more than edgy this year into next with tr Uranus elbowing the composite Sun opposition Uranus square Neptune.
Lori Loughlin, 28 July 1964, is a Sun Leo with Jupiter in indulgent Taurus in a head-in-the-clouds opposition to Neptune. Tr Uranus is squaring her Sun from June onwards and before then she has a series of disaster-prone Uranus hard aspects to three different Mars midpoints, running on and off into 2020. So a fairly catastrophic year for her.
Her daughter Olivia Jade, 28 September 1999, at college since last autumn, is a social media influencer with close to two million YouTube subscribers and over a million Instagram followers. She’s a Sun Libra trine Neptune and Uranus in Aquarius, sextile Pluto – super-ambitious and highly strung. She’s also got an ultra-determined Plus Mars in Sagittarius; a flashy Venus in Leo; and a can-be autocratic Saturn in money-minded Taurus square Uranus; plus an indulgent Jupiter in Taurus. She looks seriously deflated now with tr Neptune square her Mars.
The children are not involved in the criminal proceedings but it isn’t clear whether their position at college will be affected. Clearly her social influencing will take a nosedive.
The mastermind behind it all is Rick Singer, 18 September 1960, who has pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges including money laundering, racketeering, obstruction of justice and tax evasion in connection with the $25 million scheme to help parents fraudulently game the college admissions system.
He has a Virgo Sun on the focal point of a T Square to an opportunistic Jupiter opposition Mars in Gemini. Mars Jupiter in hard aspect can be self-interested, described by Sakoian & Acker as a soldier of fortune. ‘In extreme cases avarice and dishonesty occur.’ A Mutable focal point Sun will be ego-centric, can be conceited and know-it-all, headstrong. His Jupiter in crusading Sagittarius is also in an adventurous trine to Uranus, sextile a charming and sociable Venus in Libra. Well designed as a conman.
He’s also got a tough-minded Saturn in Capricorn trine Pluto, sextile Neptune.
Online article discusses short-term problems with Hollywood but recovers with “Oh, don;t worry, people will forget she did anything wrong…” White collar crime.
“Three companies have distanced themselves from actress Lori Loughlin and her daughter over an alleged college admissions scam. The Hallmark Channel severed ties with Loughlin on Thursday afternoon.
“We are saddened by the recent news surrounding the college admissions allegations. We are no longer working with Lori Loughlin and have stopped development of all productions that air on the Crown Media Family Network channels involving Lori Loughlin including Garage Sale Mysteries, an independent third party production,” the network’s parent company said in a statement to CNN.
Technology giant Hewlett Packard also removed an ad featuring Loughlin and daughter, Olivia Jade Giannulli, 19.”
“Also on Thursday, the cosmetic giant Sephora announced the company would be ending a makeup partnership with Loughlin’s daughter.”
Cheating doesn’t pay, even if mom & dad write the check.
Latest news: Both girls have quit college rather than go through the indignity of being expelled.
Like a whack-a-mole, the two girls will pop back up somewhere else…
The only school those girls are qualified to attend is Dingbat U.
Pluto in Capricorn exposes yet again another mass corruption. This has opened my eyes to the possibility that the US could become a better place as Pluto goes through the third and final decan.
Olivia Jade spoke on youtube…”I don’t really care about attending school…” https://www.cnn.com/videos/entertainment/2019/03/13/lori-loughlin-olivia-jade-university-southern-california-admission-scam-mxp-vpx.hln/video/playlists/top-news-videos/
Apple doesn;t fall far from the tree. These kids will be tomorrow’s leaders in America. I doubt that any of them will leave their university “of choice.” Why learn when I can “influence”
Mr. larryc, they are being expelled at USC, and the university is examing all the records of all the students to root out more.
Good morning, you are correct, and that info didn’t appear on CNN…but BBC. My post was directed toward the disconnectedness of today’s (american) youth – how excited the girl was to have a free ride while partying. There’s a lot of value to becoming an influencer – don’t get me wrong! It can be hard work.
“A YouTuber, she faced a backlash last year when she expressed more interest in partying than in studying at USC.
Before starting college last year, Ms Giannulli – who launched her YouTube fashion channel in 2014 – was skewered for remarks she made while discussing her plans after graduating from a private high school in California.
“I don’t know how much of [university] I’m gonna attend,” the teenager – who goes by the name Olivia Jade online – told her viewers in a video.
“But I’m gonna go in and talk to my deans and everyone, and hope that I can try and balance it all. ”

When you think how complicit the Deans, the professors, had to be in this, it is mindboggling. Each of these bribery students had to pull good enough grades to stay in school, yet we know there is no way they could this without help (cheating on tests, professors giving them fake good grades). The man who brokered this girl’s admittance to USC said he is responsible for 750 other rich but dumb students getting into prestige universities. And this is just one of many bribery brokers doing this!!!
I am liking you better and better upon reading your Boeing analysis and this post. If you don’t mind a bit of joshing, when are you coming to visit me? 😉
