Michael Richards: the astrology of a meltdown
On November 17, 2006, Michael Richards, better known as Kramer from Seinfeld, had a meltdown in a popular Los Angeles comedy club. Richards became annoyed when noise from the audience interrupted his act and he verbally attacked two African Americans in the audience. The attack was shocking, not only because the attack was vitriolic and racist but also because of the amazing amount of energy behind the words.
The astrological breakdown
Start with the manic quirkiness and quick temper in the Natal Chart (Mars/Uranus conjunction).
Add the depressing, isolating effects of Saturn in Leo, his Sun sign, since July 2005; of Saturn in his Solar Arc Progressed Chart square his birth Sun and of transiting Saturn conjunct Venus.
November 17, 2006 (approximate meltdown time) Mars, Sun and Jupiter were all squaring Richards’ Venus. This would normally be a rather benign transit leading to overindulgence or impulsive emotional moves.
However, the Mars/Uranus conjunction from the birth chart had progressed to the same point adding volatility and (as mentioned above) Saturn was there adding emotional alienation and depression.
Both the transiting Saturn and the progressed Mars/Uranus conjunction are slow-moving and affect the birth chart for months but, on that particular day, Mars, Jupiter and the Sun were all square to that point … the perfect astrological storm … meltdown.
