The Astrological Influence on Russell Brand's Addictions and Self-Destructive Behavior

Venus & Vesta discusses the astrology of Russell Brand amidst the recent controversies surrounding him. She examines his natal chart, exploring the factors that may contribute to his fame, self-proclaimed addictions, and current public scrutiny. Venus & Vesta also discusses the concept of extreme behaviour in astrology and the potential influence of transits, progressed charts, and external factors on an individual's chart. She touches on the idea of entity possession and its possible connection to Brand's more unconscious activity. Additionally, she explores the intersection of astrology and homeopathy, discussing the influence of disease traits on behaviour. The episode concludes with a discussion on the power dynamics within the media and government, and the potential implications of the current situation for Brand's future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Russell Brand is a Capricorn Ascendant, indicating his ability to operate within large structures and organisations, despite his chaotic and unpredictable persona. The enclosed nature of his 12th house completely by Capricorn suggests a subconscious drive for career success and a potential vulnerability to mind control or manipulation by huge corporate structures. Russell Brand's chart also indicates a susceptibility to addiction, with two of the five homeopathic, miasms, representing excess and self-destructive disease traits. These are associated with the water and fire miasms, which relate to the Five Element theory in Chinese medicine. The current transit of Pluto in Capricorn, particularly its conjunction with Russell's ascendant and opposition to his Venus, is bringing his actions and behavior into the public eye and potentially leading to the Pluto 'death' with the chance then, for rebirth in the shape of redemption. Russell Brand's chart also suggests a potential for redemption and spiritual growth, with his natal MC, North Node and Neptune in Sagittarius. However, the presence of entities or entity possession is also indicated by the experiences described by some individuals where they mention his eyes turning black and having a distant unconscious look to him. BEST MOMENTS "What makes someone become so notoriously, you know, what makes that suddenly star just completely burn itself out?"  "There has to be some keys that really turn some of the planets on and then really don't turn them off."  "Most addicts will have two of those miasms. It'll either be the self-destruct one, which is the fire… or there's the one that's actually quite destructive."  "He's becoming a leader of sorts. I don't think, if he didn't have that Capricorn Ascendant, there's no way he would have got those big jobs in big organisations."  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/venusandvesta/?hl=en   Website - https://www.venusandvesta.com  Ann-Louise Holland is a shamanic homoeopath, herbalist and astrologer.  She teaches astrology along with Steiner based anthroposophy, both of which are concerned with cultural events that bring about humanity's evolution and awareness to the soul's journey.  Venus & Vesta is a podcast about astrology for astrologers, monthly updates on the movements of the planets and asteroids, weekly detailed discussions, aligning the stars with what is happening in the world.
