Christian Horner has been dropped by Red Bull as CEO a year after allegations surfaced of him sending texts to a female member of staff of which he was cleared at the time. But patience at the top has finally snapped. A sports reporter wrote: “While he has achieved success and clearly has many qualities, I am not sure there has been a leader in any sport who has alienated so many people, both within the ecosystem and beyond it.” Any time in the past he has been criticised even with good cause he has lashed back or played the victim however ludicrous his claims.
Born 16 November 1973, he has a Scorpio Sun and Mercury with a confident, super-ambitious Pluto trine Jupiter in Aquarius, sextile Neptune. What probably causes the lash backs are two aspects. One is an explosive Mars in Aries opposition Uranus making him short-fused, uncompromising and drawn to a high-adrenaline sport. Added to that (and a Scorpio Sun Mercury) is a focal point Pluto square Saturn opposition Venus. Such a Pluto never lets go, has a chip on the shoulder, can be resentful and contemptuous, confrontational and tends to attract resistance.
Oddly enough Geri Halliwell, 6 August 1972 2.30pm Watford, a Sun, Mercury, Mars (and Alphard) in Leo also has Pluto on the focal point of a T square to Venus opposition Jupiter. But she’s obvious learned to suppress her need to control.
Their relationship chart has a composite controlling Sun Pluto conjunction with a Mars Saturn conjunction which usually suggests a fractious relationship where one partner has to bite their tongue and suppress their identity to keep it together.
Their togetherness looks to be rattled by arguments late this October to the end of the year and undermined through 2026/27 – first by tr Saturn square the Mars Saturn and then tr Neptune Saturn opposing the composite Sun Pluto. I would be surprised if that held together.
I was at a Summer holiday activity class briefly with him way back when we were early teens, he thought he was something a bit terrific at 14 so I can’t say I am surprised that he isn’t too popular. I like Geri somehow, but the Saturn/Neptune exact conjunction next year is opposite her Pluto and square her Venus so tough times ahead but she seems to reinvent herself when needed – Scorpio rising?
It seems like Red Bull Racing team has been slowly fall apart over the past 2-3yrs since its co-owner died, Horner made a power grab, chief designer Adrian Newey and others leaving last year “https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/articles/ceq7z05ype7o”
A quick read through wikipedia suggests the team has its origins in (Jackie) Stewart Grand Prix in 1997 which became Jaguar Racing in 1999. But Red Bull the energy drinks company then bought JR on 15 Nov 2004 – so that might be considered its inception date with Christian Horner being installed as team boss and racing immediately next season in 2005.
Wondering what that 15 Nov 2004 chart looks like?
Saturn Square Mars is a horrible transit. Hopefully things remain stable for them as a family, particularly so for Horners daughter who only days ago, reportedly lost her Mum to cancer.
