Stormzy’s performance at Glastonbury has met with rapturous reviews – ‘a historic performance that tore down barriers and moved souls’; ‘from explosive opening to explosive finale, with all kind of personal, political and emotional epiphanies occurring throughout.’
The first male black artist and first British rapper to headline the music festival, he strode on stage in a stab-proof Union Jack vest, highlighting inequality in the justice system and the arts.
Born 26 July 1993 in London, he’s become successful very quickly with only one album to his name. In the past he’s spoken out about institutionalised racism and police brutality, called Theresa May a “criminal” for her response to the Grenfell disaster and has a pointed attack on Boris Johnson in one of his songs. He’s evidently one of Jeremy Corbyn’s favourite rappers.
His Sun is in entertaining Leo in a confident sextile to Jupiter in fair-minded Libra, with an intensely emotional Scorpio Moon. His Mercury in Cancer is opposition Neptune Uranus in Capricorn contributing to his outspoken streak. He has Mars in hard working Virgo trine Uranus Neptune, sextile Pluto – so he has the power to influence and is a powder-keg of pent-up, high-octane energy. Plus a tough-minded, unyielding Pluto square Saturn.
This is an upbeat year for him with his Solar Arc Jupiter square his Sun; and tr Uranus trine his Sun/Jupiter midpoint exactly at the moment.
I think the stab proof vest was to highlight the spate of stabbings in London in recent times. I had read about this in the papers.
Mercury about to station in conjunction with natal Sun: a very powerful time for presenting his message. (And then there’s the transit Uranus factor, and Mars soon to arrive at natal Sun.) I feel goosebumps just reading reviews and accolades for his performance.
Thank you, Marjorie, for bringing this to an astrological audience.
Doesn’t come as any surprise he has a well aspected Libyan Jupiter. He is a man of faith and extremely generous and altruistic. Also has that rare quality in the entertainments biz, humility. Good luck to him. The Union Jack vest was designed by Banks btw.
Libran!
