It's interesting that despite Trump's usual shameless charade—he really does seem to have none—personally, I think he reeks with guilt and embarrassment, which are driving him insane. His counterpart in popular culture is "South Park" character Eric Cartman, who does things like take a dump on the teacher's desk in front of the whole class. Cartman's antics are an attempt to conceal that he is deeply troubled.
Daniels approaches life from another angle. Her artistic role is to put her sex on display. While this can mask deeper issues, I don't get that's true for her. The other evening, I finally decided to watch some of her videos. They are lighthearted in the genre of what would be called vanilla porn.
In one, she's a sex robot who transforms into a human. She's strong enough to defend the household against an intruder, protecting big, strong men. She fixes the washing machine, and then does the laundry, which had been piled up for months while it was broken. She pleasures herself while she's having sex, and she actually seems to be having fun.
She gives no indication whatsoever of having body shame, and seems emotionally open. This is the antithesis, and a potential antidote, to Trump's agonizing projection of his own issues onto women's bodies. He spent his entire campaign and most of his career disparaging women, and has made many public comments about how disgusting he thinks they are physically. Daniels is not taking on those projections. They are not sticking to her.
She is in her power, though not in the New Age or life-coaching meaning of that, but in the tantric sense. She is living evidence that the one with the pussy has the power. We forget so easily that the biological role of the vulva is to experience penetration, sometimes for pleasure, sometimes for reproduction, and sometimes both; and to birth children. In our obsession about sex as sin, and commodifying and denying it, and veiling it, and conflating it with abuse and violence, we forget the simple biology and emotions that are involved. This dance of denial is nearly all rooted in shame, shame that Daniels seems to have no part of, nor investment in.
Stormy is having her heterosexual coming out party on "60 Minutes" in a time when sexual tensions have never been more shrill, and when the need to avoid the conversation of sex and pleasure has never seemed so urgent. We live in such uptight times. Most people are so wound up that it seems even the meekest attempt at an honest conversation might pop their spring. That is what Stormy is about to do.
Thanks to an astrologer named Stefanie Iris Weiss, we know her birth time. Stefanie reached out to her via Twitter and Daniels responded with her data. That's something of a miracle; we have birth times on very few newsmakers these days. Quick overview: She has the Sun and many planets in Pisces; she has the Moon in Scorpio; and she has Sagittarius rising, with the Galactic Core spot on the ascendant, and Neptune in Sagittarius right above the horizon.
Another salient feature is that she has Venus in Aquarius—a kind of avatar position, bestowing both mental and emotional intelligence—conjunct the asteroid Pallas Athene.
I could write a book about this chart, though let's stick to three main elements: Venus, Mars, and the slow-moving planet of our day, Eris. As you may know from my previous coverage, we are in the midst of the Uranus-Eris conjunction, a once-in-a-lifetime event that last occurred in the 1920s.
That's the one where I regularly defer to a media theorist for information—Professor Eric McLuhan, who explained both Eris and its conjunction to Uranus: "The body is everywhere assaulted by all of our new media, a state which has resulted in deep disorientation of intellect and destabilization of culture throughout the world. In the age of disembodied communication, the meaning and significance and experience of the body is utterly transformed and distorted."
This conjunction is to our era what Uranus conjunct Pluto was to the 1960s. There was before (1965) and after (1966) and they were distinctly different times. Most of what we think of as the `60s happened in 1966 and beyond. For us, there is before Uranus-Eris (2016) and after (2017).
We are now seeing some correction of the distortion McLuhan is talking about. Eris, an ultra slow-mover taking 558 years to go around the Sun just once, is all over Stormy Daniels's personal charts, especially right now. In Daniels's progressed horoscope (an updated natal chart, not her transits), Mars and Eris are in an exact conjunction—to the degree, right now—something so rare, you might describe it as happening once in six lifetimes.
