Brendan Fraser - His Alter Ego Charlie
The planetary positions at the time of our birth, our natal or horoscope chart, foretells the events and circumstances that shapes us, what makes us who we are.
These planetary energies actualize in concrete events and circumstances that we find ourselves in, influencing our real lives. However, for some people, these events and circumstances are sometimes played out in one's alter ego.
In 2023, Brendan Fraser makes a career comeback with the Best Actor Oscar award for his performance in the movie, The Whale. His role is not without controversy, playing a dying reclusive, morbidly obese gay man hoping to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter.
In Fraser's birth chart, his Saturn (Hardships, Depression, Loneliness, Perseverance, Fear), the ruler of his 10th House (Career, Public Image) is in his 12th House (Seclusion, Withdrawal, Losses, Sufferings, Non-conventional). Saturn is in a negative and difficult relationship with Mars (Action, Conflicts) who is in the 6th House (Health, Workplace). Saturn is also in a negative and difficult relationship with Venus (Social Relationships, Sexuality, Pleasure) who is in the 10th House.
In his birth chart, Saturn's influences comes to the foreground from 2008 to 2019. This period was difficult for him. It brought withdrawal and hiatus from Hollywood.
But the very same difficult Saturn, Mars and Venus configuration in his chart can also bring achievements in his career, despite the difficulties and challenges in the process. In this movie, the planetary energies are given an outlet, played out in his alter ego, Charlie.
