Bill Cosby Prison Sentence

Bill Cosby AstrologyThis Bill Cosby astrology interpretation shows why he has been able to hide his true self and his crimes behind a character he created. On September 25, 2018, Bill Cosby was given a 3 to 10 year prison sentence for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. Bill Cosby is the first celebrity of the #MeToo era to be sent to prison.

There have also been similar accusations from more than 60 women over the past five decades. The prison sentence represents the culmination of Bill Cosby’s stunning fall from a beloved father figure to an 81-year-old convicted sexually violent predator.

Bill Cosby Astrology

There is some uncertainty about Bill Cosby’s time of birth. [1] After comparing the different options I am confident using the most commonly stated time of 3:00 pm. The fixed star conjunctions to the time-sensitive points of the Moon and Ascendant leave little doubt. Comparing the transits for the conviction to the Bill Cosby astrology chart make it a sure thing.

Bill Cosby’s rising star is Alphecca at 11♏25. This star in the Northern Crown gives honor, dignity and poetical and artistic ability. But when rising indicates “a life spent in a variety of pleasurable pursuits by a person who decked his body with adornments, secretly engaged in love affairs or adultery”. [2]

Sun sextile Moon makes Bill Cosby sociable, charming, popular and attractive. This aspect allowed him to mask his true inner nature (Ascendant). It also gave him the creative spark, enthusiasm and ambition that led to decades of enjoyment and success in life. A calm and balanced appearance made it easy for him to make friends and enjoy harmonious relationships. But the smooth exterior of this aspect also hid the more sinister nature of the fixed stars on his Sun and Moon.

Sun conjunct fixed star Castor at 19♋22 gives injuries to the face, blindness, disease, violent fevers, an evil disposition, rape or murder committed or suffered, imprisonment, banishment and decapitation. In general, this Gemini twin gives distinction, a keen intellect, sudden fame and honor but often followed by loss of fortune and disgrace, sickness, trouble, and great affliction. Its natives are said to be mischievous and prone to violence. [3]

Moon conjunct fixed star Denebola at 20♍45 gives honor and preferment among the vulgar but final disgrace and ruin, violent disease of a vital organ, blindness, and injuries to the eyes, accidents, losses through servants, domestic quarrels, temporary separation from marriage partner. In general, the Tail of the Lion gives swift judgment, despair, regrets, public disgrace and happiness turned to anger. [3]

Bill Cosby as America’s Dad

The most baffling thing about this story is how Bill Cosby became the trustworthy and compassionate father figure, “America’s Dad”, while also being a sexual predator. Sun sextile Moon explains this somewhat, but Venus sextile Saturn is the real mask.

Venus sextile Saturn makes him dependent on companionship for his general well-being. He needs the love and affection of women. This aspect should make him loyal and reliable in relationships but the fixed stars compel him to act differently. It is also the reason his wife has stood by him so long because it makes it very difficult to break up with a companion. Venus sextile Saturn makes women trust him, especially younger women who would look up to him as a caring, gentle father figure.

Venus conjunct fixed star Prima Hyadum at 04♊55 gives many accomplishments, artistic ability and strong passions. But the Hyades also give tears, sudden events, violence, fierceness, poisoning, blindness, wounds or injuries to the head by instruments, weapons or fevers, and contradictions of fortune. [3] Elsbeth Ebertin said:

Their influence is that of a staggering increase of the sexual urge; self-preservation, which could lead to greediness; sexuality; a dissolute life; excessive and licentious ways; and a striving for prestige leading to power politics. If this tendency is bridled, an increase in the positive sense can be the result, leading to tremendous success in life. When the pinnacle of the career is reached, the danger appears that the inherent nature may come again to the fore, and may, if uncontrolled, lead to failure and fall from power. With a connection to the Hyades, it is doubly important that power and strength must not be used to exploit other human beings. [4]

The following channeled material describes another effect of Venus conjunct Prima Hyadum:

The problem with this configuration is that these persons feel they receive no affection from others. This causes difficulties with personal relationships. Their feelings of this lack of affection cause over indulgences in eating and drinking. Substitution is the keyword here – they substitute overindulgence for affection. They are unable to find affection in relationships causing them to go from one relationship to another.

Bill Cosby Astrology Conviction Transits

The inner wheel in the chart below is Bill Cosby’s horoscope. The outer wheel shows the transits at the time of his conviction on September 25, 2018. He was taken into custody “just before 3 p.m.” [5]

Earlier I mentioned these transits left me with no doubt about the accuracy of the 3:00 pm birth time for Bill Cosby. The reasons are the numerous conjunctions involving time-sensitive points.

Venus was on his Ascendant. The Ascendant was conjunct his Part of Fortune. And the Part of Fortune was on the same degree as his Sun.

Bill Cosby Astrology Transits

Notice how the Vertex Point is conjunct his Midheaven. The Vertex Point represents destiny encounters and fated events, but can also be used as a timing device when rectifying charts and timing events using transits. The August 11 solar eclipse at 18♌41 is also on his Midheaven, highlighting his fall from grace.

The August 2018 solar eclipse points to the power imbalance in relation to feminism. It suggests increasing tension that leads to dramatic events like accusations sexual misconduct or other abuses of power. Secrets will be exposed and reputations destroyed… At the social level these deliberations will be about feminism, the #MeToo Movement and politics (Donald Trump). There will be provocative statements and insults from both sides of the debate about power imbalances and the abuse of power by men in positions of authority.

The solar eclipse on his Midheaven exposed the decades of hidden activity. It focused attention on his career. Bill Cosby and his achievements are on display. It has brought more interaction with authority figures and powerful people. He has been judged on his past efforts and his reputation and career have suffered.

The September 9 New Moon at 17♍00 conjunct his Neptune has highlighted his weakness and vulnerabilities. It brought attention to his secrets, lies and drugging of women. Neptune rules celebrity but also infamy, slander, and scandal.

Pluto opposite Sun transit has dramatically highlighted his controlling and manipulative behavior, obsessions, compulsions, jealousy, revenge, domination, megalomania and violence. It gives strong opposition in personal and professional relationships, intense power struggles and conflict. Pluto has destroyed his self-confidence and pride.

Jupiter conjunct Mars transit is usually a fortunate influence that marks the right time for taking action and starting new projects. At least it should give him the courage to face prison. I guess it has brought an exaggerated focus on his aggressive sexual activities. It could also be judgement of his actions, as Jupiter rules judges and the law.

His Mars is conjunct fixed star Unukalhai at 21♏12. This star in the Neck of the Serpent gives immorality, accidents, violence and danger of poison. With Mars is also gives quarrels, lying, crime, and a violent death probably by poison. [3]

Mercury opposite Saturn transit on the day of his conviction obviously brought sadness. But also poor self-esteem, communication difficulties and isolation. The bad news and very challenging situation is related to his past. As the judge said, “It is time for justice… this has all circled back to you. The day has come. The time has come.” [5]

Update June 30, 2021

Bill Cosby has natal Uranus conjunct fixed star Menkar (0°20′) which gives “troubles through opposite sex”. He was convicted of sexual assault on September 25, 2018. Uranus with Menkar also gives “good fortune and misfortune alternately”. Today he was freed after his conviction was overturned. Uranus is at 13°47′ Taurus, so it is Cosby’s Uranus return.
