Sylvester Stallone arrested – more Mercury retrograde madness
A number of celebrities appear to have been hit pretty hard by last month’s Mercury retrograde in Pisces/Aquarius , and now it looks like we can add Sylvester Stallone to Mercury’s casualty list as well.
Stallone was apparently in Australia last month to promote his new movie Rocky Balboa when he was apparently apprehended by customs officials at the airport who searched his private airplane and subsequently found five boxes of what is being described as a “growth hormone” or a type of performance enhancing steroid that is apparently illegal in Australia. On March 13th he was formally charged with trying to import an illegal performance enhancing drug into the country and he basically faces a pretty hefty fine, in addition to the embarrassment and inconvenience that the whole episode caused him last month as it was still in the process of unfolding.
What is interesting about this to me is that it happened only a day or two after Mercury stationed retrograde in Pisces, right around the same time that Britney Spears suddenly decided to shave her head and Paris Hilton went through the unfortunate trash throwing incident in Austria. It would appear that Mercury was making some pretty strong correlations with all three of these individual’s charts last month, although it seems like in this particular instance Stallone got hit the hardest, which is not surprising when you look at his transits for that day. The following is Sylvester Stallone’s natal chart with the transits for February 16th on the outside:
Notice that Mercury actually stationed at 10 degrees of Pisces two days earlier, in direct opposition to Stallone’s natal Mars at 9 degrees of Virgo in the 10th whole sign house. He was also having another very close and irritating Mars transit that day with transiting Mars at 22 Capricorn almost exactly square his natal Moon and Midheaven at 22/21 Libra. With his day chart it is not surprising that Mars is the planet that is giving him more problems in both its natal placements and its transits.
Interestingly though, the closest transit that he had that day was actually transiting Pluto exactly conjunct his ascendant. This long term Pluto transit may have had more to do with the stress that he had to put his body through in order to return it to something resembling its original appearance in his role as Rocky, but it may also be a sign of the price to be paid for such a transformation.

Now that chart looks very familiar…
It’s George W. Bush born a few hours later in the next state! For some reason it escapes me what has been happening with Dubya recently, and it really should be something interesting considering his monthly profection for the time of Merc Rx in Pisces was Pisces.
Profections don’t in themselves indicate the importance of Mercury going Retrograde in Stallone’s case, but they sure do explain the Mars transit you mentioned, as well as Pluto. He’s in his 1st house profection Sagittarius annually, and his 8th house Cancer was profected monthly while this was happening. So Mars squared his annually profected Jupiter (setting the stage for trouble), and then squared his monthly profected Moon/MC.
The fact that Pluto perfectly conjoined his Ascendant on that day, while he is in a Sagittarius annual profection is pretty uncanny. It really does sum up everything going on with him right now. The fact this happened in a foreign land (Sagittarius), how he’s literally brought ‘Rocky’ back from the dead (Pluto, as well as something close to his old physique, getting busted for “growth hormones”, (Jupiter/Sagittarius).
Good job with this Chris, your entries are getting better and better!
perhaps the cluster of planets in 8th house of his horoscpoe pushed hime to limelight as 8th house is an occult,hidden house and sylverster has a stellium in the 8th house
more analysis should be done to understand this house
