He played Steven Hyde on That 70s Show, for reference. Also--apologies for the troublesome nature of this post, but I always look to see what is happening in the sky for these people when dramatic incidents take place. And here, hopefully the arc is towards justice for the women who alleged rape. Yesterday, June 17th, he was arrested.
I always look to Venus and the Moon in the charts of men who domineer and commandeer women. His Venus and Moon stand in opposition, Aqua and Leo respectively. That places the emotional needs of the person at odds with how they value and love another person. There's a heavy dislike factor, sometimes, with these folks because they are so on the make to fulfill their own personal needs, that they fail to take care of the other. Why? Well the Moon is the more innately felt planet here. It is easy in a Moon-Anything oppostion to lean far too hard on the Moon side. In Masterson's case, he did so, with reprehensible results (allegedly). The Leo Moon propensity for being the star of any show, mostly private ones like within the family or within relationships or within the confines of hubris, can very well turn into acts of pride and power turned devious (allegedly).
His Pisces Sun rules over that Leo Moon. At least one of the women who alleged Masterson raped her said he did so by drugging her. This also all happened curiously over the backdrop of Scientology. Without incorrectly stating truths, Masterson himself was or is a practicing Scientologist, and one of his victims was or is as well. At least 3 of them were pressured to keep quiet by the Church of Scientology. So a very Piscean arena for darker Piscean themes.
Well, why now?
Curiously (aka Astrology is legit), the South Node has moved into Sagittarius. Sag, like it's Jupiter bro Pisces, has a lot to do with religion and dogma--Jupiter things. All over the world and likely with these women, all this is coming into light in a dramatic fashion in part because there is a drain happening around Sag things. Masterson has his Neptune in Sag, and while the SN will not conjunct that planet for a while (and when it does--what news will come with it?), it still does awaken a natal promise of that placement, sending some undulations into that part of his chart. Neptune the planet of drugging, religion, delusion. Also a planet that can think highly of itself within the context of organized religion. I AM the ONE and ONLY prophet--shush and listen. Stuff like that. Big drain over that shit now.
Now, the North Node is over Masterson's Mars in Gemini. Which, yep, means the SN is opposing it. Actions wrought facing their karmic resolution. His Mars in Gemini trines that Aqua Venus I spoke about above. Though trines get PR for harmony, please never forget that the seamlessness and easiness of the trine can get people into trouble. In this case, Masterson's ease with women, coercing them, getting them to do what he wanted--are all a part of this trine. Likely there was charm and magnetism involved, as he was a star on a hit television show back then.
The North Node is also squaring his Pisces Sun. There is a change in direction happening in the development of his ego. The public cannot be privy to this, as it is more an internal function. But from the outside looking in, reckoning with rape allegations from decades ago seems like a major ingredient in "Life Changes 101". The square engenders friction, challenge. Difficult events come up during this transit to chisel away at the intended direction of your life.
Neptune is in Pisces right now, conjunct his Sun. This neatly ties up, to me, this Neptune story he has in his chart. Why? Well that natal Neptune in Sag squares his natal Sun, by sign. Now transit Neptune has caught up and is sitting on his Sun, rounding out in someway Neptunian themes as they have to do with ego development or in this case, ego DISSOLUTION. Nothing humbles a celebrity like being arrested.
Couple more things...
Masterson's NN is in Scorpio conjunct his Uranus. Where is Uranus now? Opposing both of those planets. Uranus opposite Uranus is the midlife crisis aspect. The word "crisis" kind of says all it needs to say here. Maturation through difficult events. This is a wake up call for him. Youth is gone. Time to grow up. Transit Uranus opposite his NN also indicates a sudden change in direction, sudden events, and high wattage soul electrocution. I would like to extrapolate further that Uranus is in a Venus sign right now, likely causing a revolution in a sense regarding Venus industries and issues. This means this transit will awaken a lot with women's issues. Masterson's arrest is a microcosm of the macrocosm.
Lastly, Venus herself is RX. Have you heard? Did you know? (Of course you did). This transit drudges up many long-forgotten Venus issues, or at least is asking of all of us to re-examine them. Without knowing the house this is happening in for Masterson, we can still bet that his arrest has something to do with the retrograde, as it is literally dragging up sexual incidents he has had with women from his past. In May, Venus stationed RX at 21 Gemini, conjunct Masterson's troublesome Mars.
The women won't be quiet anymore, Mr. Masterson.
