A silly season story to distraction from miseries elsewhere.
The French President and his wife are suing an American one-time Maga influencer and wild conspiracy theorist Candace Owens, after she falsely claimed France’s first lady was a man. And along the way, to her gzillion Insta and youtube fans, Candace also alluded to Emmanuel Macron being connected to MKUltra, a “secret CIA programme that conducted human experiments to develop mind-control techniques using drugs, psychological manipulation and torture”, and that he and Madame Macron are blood relatives.
Despite repeated legal attempts claiming she was making false statements “to promote her independent platform, gain notoriety and make money”, she has refused to retract and is venting about her First Amendment rights – which appear to protect fabrications, fantasies and falsehoods.
Despite following Trump’s playbook, Candace has abandoned her former support for him and says she is “embarrassed” she once campaigned for him.
Born 19 April 1989 Stamford, CT, she has her Sun Venus in Taurus opposition Pluto in Scorpio probably square an Aquarius Moon, and trine Saturn Neptune (Uranus) in Capricorn – stubborn to the nth degree, drawn to making provocative statements to stir up a reaction (Aquarius Moon), manipulative (Venus Pluto), dislikes letting go, intransigent (Uranus Neptune).
Her can-be-neurotic/paranoid Neptune Saturn sextile Pluto are inconjunct a yod focal point Jupiter which can be influential out in society but can also be self-defeating if ego and self aggrandisement get out of hand. Her excitable Mars in Cancer is in an uncompromising, explosive opposition to her Uranus. Quite some lady.
Her Jupiter won’t be brought to task for several years but her Mars opposition Uranus will be firmly squelched by tr Saturn Neptune in Aries in square from now and over the next two/three years.
Quite why she singled out Brigitte Macron for her bizarre theories isn’t clear though CO’s Jupiter does fall in BMacron’s 10th house so maybe Candace thought that the Macron’s international standing would give her a leg-up publicity-wise. CO’s South Node in Virgo is also conjunct BM’s Virgo Ascendant which would tend to make CO uber-critical of Brigitte’s appearance and image, perhaps with an underlying streak of envy.
Brigitte Macron, 13 April 1953 3pm Amiens, France, has an 8th house Sun, Venus, Moon in Aries trine a 12th house Pluto so she will tend to attract strong reactions. She and Candace have a relationship chart that is dominated by a yod of Pluto sextile Saturn Neptune inconjunct Sun Venus which is being challenged by tr Pluto, tr Uranus and tr Saturn Neptune over the next three years. Bounded together by fate – quite a sticky chemistry between them though I fancy they have never actually met.
Candace’s Pluto is conjunct Emmanuel’s 9th house Uranus and opposition his Taurus Moon for a disruptive interface; with Candace’s South Node conjunct his critical Saturn in Virgo; and her Saturn Neptune in Capricorn square his Pluto for confusion. Their relationship chart has an unpredictable, differing-agenda composite Sun Venus square Uranus, trine Saturn Pluto – which again is under significant pressure for several years ahead.
All too weird.
Her Virgo South Node seems very entangled in all of this so anyone with experience of such do pitch in with helpful thoughts.

ADD ON: Titbits on her from the Daily Mail:
The Duchess of Sussex is ‘despicably racist’, the Covid-19 vaccine is ‘pure evil’ and ‘secret Jewish gangs’ are doing ‘horrific things’ in Hollywood. The Macrons were blood relatives ‘committing incest’ and that Emmanuel came to power as the result of a CIA ‘mind control’ programme.
She said: ‘We are revolting against the perverts that run the world.’
She tweeted that ‘Russian Lives Matter’ following the invasion of Ukraine.
She described ‘political Jews’ as ‘some of the most vile, dishonest, manipulative people that I have ever met’. Last July, after she dismissed the appalling medical experiments of SS concentration camp doctor Josef Mengele as ‘bizarre propaganda’.
She has no time for women who allow themselves to become victims of predatory men – castigating the MeToo movement for ‘turning sexual assault into a trend’ and encouraging women to be seen as ‘stupid’ and ‘weak’.
She called Black Lives Matter advocates ‘whiny toddlers’ and compared black Democrats to slaves on plantations.
She’s dismissed climate change as a lie to ‘extract dollars from Americans’ and abortion as the ‘extermination’ of black babies.
Tinfoil hat country.
Candace Owens is someone who attention seeking and wants to make money the wrong way with her lies. I see her becoming irrelevant and no one buying her lies in the near future, Pluto in Aquarius is advancing technology rapidly now, with AI accelerating and bringing change to news and to what people are reading and listening to. Being one of the AI Engineers/Trainers, we train this AI algorithms to crawl the web and fetch information that is factual, truthful and not misleading. This algorithms are also taught to identify fake news, fake profiles and fake peoples. As well as predicting the probability of someone posting fake news, that some of the things that they know, it’s a lot. So someone like Candace is going to be flagged a lot and eventually she will become irrelevant and obsolete. I don’t see any future in her, and her career. Unless if she changes her career, then she will still be relevant.
I don’t know if Clarence Thomas has a daughter, but Owens could certainly pass for one, in spirit at least. There is indeed a deep-seated self loathing streak within her that resonates with his own.
For those wondering how Owens has managed to achieve the notoriety that she has, America has a long sordid history of “token” minority individuals who adopted and parroted white racist tropes and white grievances to curry favor with those same individuals, often managing to win some deference and protection in exchange for providing a veneer of credibility, albeit a thin one (e.g. the oppressed agreeing with the oppressor’s rationale). It’s all quite sick and twisted, honestly.
What most disturbs me is that she has apparently gone international. I guess people in the US caught onto her, so she decided to take her minstrel show on the road?
Astro-wise, Moon in Aquarius (any Aquarius really) can be a contrarian, though I actually don’t see anything else that stands out to me in her chart. She just seems like another obnoxious opportunist, not unlike Trump, who will literally say or do anything to keep her name on as many tongues as possible.
My first thought was, who’s her rich white husband? After looking at those comments that she’s made, I bet you he’s super conservative and religious. (All I saw was the wedding ring in your picture, but sure enough, when I looked it up, that’s who she’s married to!) How controlling is the nature in his chart? And how many daddy issues are in hers?
I think the retrograde Uranus might be a reason. It is about questioning the norms (the pros) and being contrary (can be a major cons).
She had 4 retrograde outer planets.
When I was recently in France, I heard rumors regarding Emmanuel Macron which I won’t dignify by repeating here; but what was interesting and also applies to the Brigitte rumors is that a major rationale behind these ‘rumors’ is finding it somehow inexplicable that a man, and an ambitious one, should want to marry a far older woman. Were the roles reversed no one would question sexual identities.
In fact, it makes all the more sense to me psychologically that Emmanuel, being ambitious, would not be interested in having children and a family, but prefer a wise partner.
Astrologically, if only looking at his 7th house, it contains both Mars and Saturn (also ruler of his ASC), which fits an older Aries like Brigitte in a close partnership.
A woman being labelled a man is a consistent trope I’ve heard over the years from the deeply misogynistic MAGA tribe. Even if it was true, I can’t wrap my head around why it would even matter what two grown adults do in a relationship. It doesn’t impact their personal life in any way.
However, I found it more bizarre that they focused more on Brigitte being a man than the real unsavoury part of her; the fact she and Emmanuelle began an affair when he was around 15/16 and she 39/40 and was his teacher. I know the French have a way more liberal attitude towards sex, but to me this is revoltingly disturbing. Same if the genders were reversed.
But going back to the man accusations, Brigitte isn’t the first nor the last who get accused of it. I’ve heard Michelle Obama, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and a raft of others have been the focus of their obsessions.
I can see with Pluto in Aquarius how more and more women are fighting against this wave of intense misogyny which appears to be entrenched in a bygone era of tradition, and they may be able to change things in the years to come. These men are lucky we’re no longer in the Boudicca years, who rose up in the last Pluto in Aquarius time, to level so many men in a violent way who were doing such damaging things to women. Pluto in Aquarius, to me, is like a cold hard slap in the face for people to wake up and try and accept, this feminine ideal (and the masculine ideal, actually) is largely an illusion.
Great post! I’d love to know what house that south node of hers is in!
With that Virgo SN conjunction Bridget’s Ascendant and Emmanuel’s Saturn, the couple may symbolise something that she needs or wants to move on from consciously or unconsciously.
Their global presence clearly triggers that critical eye of hers. Together they may remind her of a past path or karma that Owens has now.
Maybe Bridget’s refined, detailed image or Emmanuel’s authority is a trigger. Owens’ beef may be older than her years on this planet. The French pair may remind her of people Owens feels, or has felt, a responsibility (guilt) towards. I wouldn’t be surprised if her attacks are mostly unconscious reflexes – or maybe not. She seems quite unconscious.
Her SN is in 1st House of Self.
Thanks Jennifer E. I wrote that early in my timezone! I’ve now had my coffee! Marjorie posted her chart with the houses.
I imagine Pisces in NN, for her becoming more conscious and self-aware will always be highlighted. This is especially true concerning all of her 7th house interactions with other people – including any enemies…
The negative behaviour traits of Virgo are pettiness, cattiness, carping, over-critical, judgemental, constantly searching for flaws, harshness, overthinking, backbiting, intrusive and nosey, picky and controlling. They have their good points too, mind you!

Born a few days ahead of Rory McIlroy and Richard Gadd who you profiled last year. I get the sense the Taurus Sun with Scorpio Pluto generation have struggles within.

Before she became so famous, she was publicly listed as an actress through Explore Talent Agency. She also claimed for months that Kamala Harris is not Black and has lied about it, which maybe did cost her thousands of votes. Her FIL is Michael Farmer, former Treasurer of Conservative Party and a life peer in House of Lords. Folks have gone after Michelle Obama and also Jacinda Arden with the same accusations. It’s propaganda in order to have voters question them and then not vote for them or for their spouses, straight out of Russia’s playbook.
It will be fought in us courts so the discovery process( complete with depos, interrogatories, physical exams and doc requests)-quite quite different to europe – will be extremely interesting. Added to which the fact that courts in the United States grant broad discretion to individuals to comment on public officials.
Similar things were said about Michelle Obama by the magarati. Just plain old nasty bullying and envy. Owen is yet another example of someone so full of deep self-loathing, rather than take responsibility for that and get treatment, instead projects it onto others she envies. Horrible person.
I agree.
The fact that Brigitte was previously married and had children, before marrying Macron, seems to have escaped Candace’s attention!
Ken-she claims that Brigitte never gave birth and that she transitioned at age 30. She also claims that Brigitte’s first husband never existed. Two other women claimed that Brigitte is really her brother. They were sued and originally lost. Brigitte’s brother was in the courtroom as they claimed that Brigitte was in fact a transitioned version of him.
