Harvey Weinstein – guilty of rape and criminal sexual assault

 

Harvey Weinstein has been found guilty of rape in the third degree and criminal sexual assault, but cleared of the most serious charges of predatory sexual assault by a court in New York. The jury took a week to come to their decision. Their verdict on each charge had to be unanimous, or else a mistrial would be declared. He’ll remain remanded until March 11.

Tr Saturn is almost exactly in a blocking square to his Solar Arc Midheaven, within a degree, suggesting his birth time of 9.45pm is reasonably sound. His Progressed Moon is also in a downbeat square to his Saturn exactly now. His bullying, control-freak Pluto on his Midheaven square Mars in Scorpio on his Ascendant has moved by Solar Arc to catch a several year run ahead of tr Pluto hard aspects starting late this month. He’s also got undermining Neptune transits through this year and next; though one upbeat Uranus transit to a Jupiter midpoint in March, so the sentence may not be as bad as he feared – or an appeal is being launched. But one way or another he’ll never be back.

The Harvey Weinstein #metoo court saga winds on with the long-delayed start due on September 9th. He has been charged with two counts of predatory sexual assault, one count of criminal sexual act in the first degree, one count of first-degree rape and one count of third-degree rape to which he had pleaded not guilty on all counts. It’ll be a viciously fought trial and the legal system can be a very blunt instrument for tackling sexual offences, often ending with skewed verdicts. If found guilty, he could spend the rest of his life in jail. More than 80 women have alleged sexual misconduct on the part of the producer, over four decades though the court case only involves two women.

He’s onto his third set of defence lawyers which now includes a powerful female Chicago attorney who specializes in defending men in sexual harassment cases, Donna Rotunno. She has previously argued that the #MeToo movement has done a disservice to women. She said “I believe women are responsible for the choices that they make,” and suggested she could get away with a good deal more in cross examination as a woman.

Weinstein was born 19 March 1952 with an unverified time of 9.45pm in New York. It’s a feasible birth time putting his final degree filmic Pisces Sun in the entertaining 5th house; and his ruthlessly dominating Pluto on his Midheaven square a vengeful Mars in Scorpio on his Ascendant. Plus a fountain-of-initiative Cardinal Grand Cross of Saturn Neptune opposition Mercury Jupiter in pro-active Aries square Uranus opposition a Capricorn Moon.

He’ll go into the trail on a confident high with tr Pluto square his Jupiter but since it also squares his Neptune through till early November his hopes are likely to be dashed. Late September to mid November as well he has tr Neptune opposition his Saturn/Pluto midpoint which Ebertin describes as ‘shattered nerves’ as well as ‘falsehoods and frauds.’ From late January 2020 the trapped, infuriated, scary, powerless tr Pluto conjunct his Sun/Mars midpoint returns for a few weeks and repeats on and off till late year; with a confidence-eroding tr Neptune square his Jupiter/Pluto midpoint picking up next spring and running through till 2021. So he won’t exactly be bouncing with exuberance.

The BBC are showing a documentary Untouchable: The Rise and Fall of Harvey Weinstein on September 1st

Actress Rosanna Arquette is interviewed in it as one of the first women to share details of Weinstein’s abuse with Ronan Farrow in the New Yorker and in the New York Times along with Rose McGowan. She talks of her career being ruined as she spurned his advances and the documentary investigates Weinstein’s use of an Israel intelligence firm to put together profiles on his adversaries in order to undermine their allegations and dissuade them from speaking out.

Her fear and paranoia which she speaks openly about (see URL below) are understandable and show up starkly on the astrology. She was born 10 August 1959 4.45pm New York which gives her an 8th house Sun Uranus in Leo which Weinstein’s Pluto sits directly on top of with his Mars square. A scary combination which will strike deep fear in her.

  1. Leo Sun seems accurate based on his looks. Also, with this birthdate he would have been born one month into Continuation War, during a period basically all Finnish forces were deployed and in attack. The area I’m living in Helsinki – former industrial/working class neighborhood – was bombed heavily just two weeks earlier in what was the deadliest Soviet bombing before early 1944. Not all children born during that War grew up to be monsters, but adults certainly were in survival mode.

  2. A cruel, vindictive man with no redeeming qualities.
    HW is Dorian Gray in reverse. I doubt he will live out his forthcoming sentence, his body
    is already broken as a result of an accident.

    Few have risen so high,
    Even fewer have fallen so badly.

  3. Thank you Marjorie. Just watched some of the news about this verdict. It seems there’s another rape trial pending in Los Angeles. Finally, this incredibly powerful man has been shown for what he is. But, as Solaia points out, he’s certainly not alone out there. And the news mentioned NDA’s which prevent people from coming forward, and make it difficult for them if they do speak out about bullying, and sexual crimes. There are many powerful men who are still hiding behind these non disclosure agreements. Hopefully, some of them will not be sleeping too well tonight.

    I noticed that Weinstein’s Sun in Pisces aligns with the fixed star Scheat in Pegasus. It’s message is one of over-reaching and poor judgment, and falls from a great height.

    “The constellation portends events concerning ships and the ocean and also changes in the weather. In medieval times it was said to indicate vain individuals with a great deal of ambition, but with very poor judgment. [Fixed Stars and Judicial Astrology, George Noonan, 1990, p.22.]”

  4. Not good news for Peter Nygard, Finnish born (sigh) Canadian fashion tycoon who has been sued by his victims in Bahamas. I I’ve heard stories on him, and think he is easily on Weinstein/Epstein category manipulator.

    Nygard was “clever” in that he apparently abstained from directly assaulting models and (D-list) celebrities he “dated” and flew in, and prayed on poor Bahamian girls. Still, was suing people left and right and could be horribly manipulative and intimidating. Slightly vapid, but from what I’ve heard truly sweet (people I know went to school with her) “bombshell” violinist Linda Lampenius, who went with artist name Brava abroad, had her career nearly destroyed simply because she had an audacity to say Nygard’s “Oscar Party” was a bluff. He also sued a Finnish tabloid for simply publishing an interview with Jessica Alba where she told about parties some of the crew from a movie she was shooting in Bahamas partook. A mainly political journalist (Finnish tabloids are slightly more “serious” than English ones) from that tabloid tweeted yesterday that oh yes, he was in Bahamas during that period and when he told he was a Finn would have locals name names. Nygard had deals with other tabloids and dailies, though, and there is one journalist in particular who wrote stories that made Young Adult me roll eyes.

    Unfortunately, possibly due to Nygard’s parents coming to Canada immediately after WWII, there’s some confusion on his date of birth – here, you even get two version on the year of birth, either 1941 or 1943, 1941 being likelier given war effort. But I’d expect to see Weinstein level Mars-Pluto action on that chart.

    • Heavy.com has it as July 24 1941 tho’ how accurate I don;t know. It gives a control-freak Sun (Moon) Pluto in Leo with an emotionally cold and unstable Venus in Leo square Saturn Uranus in Taurus.

      • 41. His sister who died recently was born 42 according to his twitter acc and she looks about a year younger onchildhood photos. Looks like someone with a total double life.
