Tracy Morgan the well known comedian form SNL and 30 rock
was in a horrific car crash on June 1, 2014 resulting in serious injury to him
and the death of his long time friend and collaborator James McNair.
Tracy is a Scorpio with Moon either in late Cancer or
early Leo depending on his time of birth.
He also had Mars in Libra conjunct volatile, unpredictable Uranus. Mercury, how he talks and processes
information, is in Scorpio. This Mercury
has him questioning everything, digging deep to get at the truth. His Venus, in freewheeling, fun loving
Sagittarius is in a dynamic aspect with his powerful Jupiter/Pluto conjunction
in Virgo.
His life reflects these planetary positions. He grew up
in the rough and tumble Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. His father, a troubled
Vietnam Vet, became addicted to heroin as a result of injuries. When he was 17 years old Tracy found out his
father had aids and ultimately quit school in order to take care of him. Married to his childhood sweetheart at that
time and in need of money he turned to selling drugs to get that money. He credits his comedy career to a comment
made by a friend that he could make it in comedy. When that friend was later murdered he
resolved as a tribute to him to take his shot at comedy. He is known for his
erratic behavior and some controversial utterances.
The Jupiter/Pluto conjunction signifies the underworld,
crime and the dark side of society that surrounded him in his early life. Drugs and death schooled him and ultimately
spurred him to take action to improve his lot in life. By his own words there is no “filter between
what he thinks and what he says”. Mercury in Scorpio, like all water sign
Mercury’s allows the emotion and feelings to come out. The Mars/Uranus conjunction provides no
governor on his speech and actions. It’s
a safe bet to say that folks around him are continually caught off guard by
what he says and the actions he takes.
At the time of the accident, about 1AM, Mercury the
planet of cars, roads and traffic was making a station preparing to go
retrograde at 7:57 AM. That Mercury in the sky was in an aspect of ease to
Tracy’s natal Mercury. The Moon, at
1degree of Libra was sitting on his natal Mars with a mere 3 minutes away from
conjunction. This triggered his natal
combo of Mars/Uranus/Jupiter and Pluto.
This in itself is not unusual as the Moon hits that degree on a monthly
basis. But this month, the planet
Saturn, in Scorpio was sitting on his Scorpio Sun which was in turned triggered
by his Jupiter/Pluto conjunction.
Jupiter itself in the sky in Cancer was 2 degrees past a benevolent
trine to his natal Sun.
This planetary picture is a picture of a life and/or
death situation. Saturn is known as the
big bad boy of the Zodiac, bringing restriction, contraction and heavy burdens
that must be born. Saturn rules the
bones. Jupiter can bring the transition to a higher plane. But here it is past the trine to his
Sun. Saturn is the real culprit and
unlike Jupiter he is not going to let you go to luxuriate in greener pastures.
Transiting Saturn hitting natal Sun brings hard work, the
wish to be someplace else, restricts our movements, whether physically or
because of cash considerations or responsibilities. Saturn says do the job and have fun later
when I go away.
After having surgery on his broken leg it has been
reported that Tracy Morgan has become “more responsive”. Although still critical that report is a good
sign. The Saturn transit to his Sun
points to a slow recovery, physical therapy etc. while bones knit and the body
heals. Saturn has a way of letting you
know what is really important to you in this life. He is a great one for bringing life’s lessons
home. Although Tracy may be in a deep
dark place now, he is a Scorpio and more than any other sign, Scorpio is
capable of coming back from those depths. Scorpio is the original comeback kid.
We can help by sending this gifted comedian our prayers
and a bright healing light.
