Ed Buck, a former male model who campaigned for animal rights, has been charged with operating a drug house and administering methamphetamines to vulnerable gay black men to manipulate them into participating in sex acts. The prosecutors described him as a “violent, dangerous sexual predator” – three men appear to have died in his apartment. He was a fixture on the Los Angeles Democratic scene, having formerly been Republican when he was in Arizona.
He was born 24 August 1954 in Steubenville, Ohio – there’s some doubt as to the exact day but the 24th works well on present events.
He’ll be a Sun Virgo conjunct a controlling Pluto on one side; and on the other conjunct Mercury trine Mars in Capricorn, sextile Saturn in Scorpio – and that mini-Grand Trine of Sun, Mars, Saturn does have a cruel and unpleasant feel to it. His adventurous Jupiter Uranus in Cancer may be conjunct a Cancer Moon and squares Venus Neptune in Libra – emotionally unpredictable, slightly fanatical/off-the-wall with Uranus Neptune, frivolous, confused.
At the moment on this birth date he’s got his Solar Arc Sun conjunct his Saturn and his Solar Arc Mars opposition his Mercury – so a general logjam as he gets hauled away in a police car. Plus the jolting tr Uranus opposition his focal point Saturn through this year and early next to upset his applecart.
His 9th Harmonic is very marked, linking a perverse Neptune to Mars Jupiter and Venus; as well as neurotic Mercury to Saturn and Neptune. The 9th is supposed to be humanitarian but its under-developed side is greed, immorality and irresponsibility. His 10th harmonic – the seeds of the rise and fall, good and bad – is also notable and ruthless.
Hideous man and such a waste of young lives.
Another thing about this chart is the high number of planets (Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) in Essential Dignity. No doubt, Buck dedicated some of his time and energy to a few good causes, like animal welfare. But I have noticed that sometimes those with more than three dignified planets are blind to their own flaws and refuse to take personal responsibility for bad choices, while those having many highly debilitated planets often accept undeserved censure and criticism.
thanks Marjorie for offering your great insight on this case. I apologize for sending the incorrect birthdata in my request. I think Buck will likely spend the rest of his life in jail or , if he is somehow released, fighting off the many civil lawsuits coming his way. I can’t say its undeserved.
Dennis Elwell noted a correlation between murder, psychopathy, violent events and the 20-23 degree Cancer/Capricorn axis. This person (haven’t heard of him before) has Jupiter at 20 degrees of Cancer & the Moon could be around there too. Transiting Saturn is conjunct his North Node in Capricorn right now.
The fixed star, Pollux, in the constellation Gemini, is currently located at 23 Cancer. It was once called the “wicked boy”. The ancient Egyptians called this star Set, the dark and troubling shadow of Horus, the morning star. This star has a difficult reputation, symbolising the offering of wisdom through “pain or angst” according to Bernadette Brady.
He is also a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, he appeared in court yesterday wearing a bulletproof vest, I wonder why ? He is up on federal charges which if found guilty would see him in prison for life. A big donor to the Democrats..there will no doubt be a plea deal if he gives up the names of high ranking politicians also involved in his seedy world of sex, drugs and murder.
