Astrology and the Addams Family: Venus and Mars in Scorpio

By Graham Flynn


They are creepy, spooky, and mysterious. I'm sure you know them. They've visited you at house on your TV and it is possible to have observed them within the movie theater, too. They're The Addams Family. So, what do they've to complete with astrology? The characteristics of planets and signs of the zodiac may be learned effortlessly by examining archetypes who embody them. Archetypes can also be discovered in mythological tales and in our pop culture figures. Often, a transit of a planet will make me think of a contemporary character from a book or TV show that personifies the qualities of that entire world and sign. The modern day transit of Venus and Mars in Scorpio makes me believe instantly of the Addams Family, especially Morticia as Venus and Gomez as Mars.

Scorpio rules the eighth property on the astrological chart. In conventional astrology, the eighth household has to try and do in the occult, metaphysics, the paranormal, sex, death, taxes, and inheritance. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto. Characteristics attributed to Pluto are intensity, power, destruction, resurrection, and transformation. A spooky ancestral residence decorated of the macabre and mysterious, housing a loved ones possessing intense passions and morbid proclivities who live off unlimited wealth hidden in the basement could be the most perfect example of Scorpio eighth property symbolism I can imagine.

The Addams Family members movie was released towards the public on November 22, 1991, under the appropriately Scorpionic influence from the Sun, Mars, and Pluto transiting in - you guessed it - Scorpio! I'm certain the transits of those people planets from the sign of Scorpio elevated the status with the film as well as the audience's enjoyment on the actors' portrayal from the spooky family so numerous of us love. Not all movies based on well-liked television shows live up to expectations, but I know The Addams Household lived up to mine. Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston have been wonderfully cast as Gomez and Morticia. I have watched the film several times more than the many years as soon as I have wanted to set the Scorpio mood to your Halloween season.

Mars is a planet of action and physical vitality. It's a masculine planet and represents sexual energy in matters of love. After Mars is within the fixed water sign of Scorpio, passions can run deep and each lust and anger can flare dramatically. Mars in Scorpio may have its very own moral code of conduct and rules to live by. Once someone breaks individuals rules, it's an invitation to take in action. When Mars in Scorpio believes in some thing or someone, it believes all the way and can be totally devastated ought to it be deceived or betrayed. Inside Addams Family movie, Gomez is totally convinced Fester is his long-lost brother - he cannot allow himself to believe otherwise. When Gomez is playing with swords, visiting his basement full of money, wrecking model trains, or succumbing to Morticia's chilly charms he is acting out the essence of Mars in Scorpio. Obsession is really a Mars in Scorpio top quality and Gomez is obsessive about his family. Above all, he is obsessive about Morticia. As he observes her sleeping, he says, "Look at her. I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss!"

Venus is really a planet of physical comfort, beauty, and pleasure. It is a feminine entire world and represents affection in matters of love. Scorpio is an intensely emotional water sign that wrestles with difficulties of control and exposure. In love and all relationships, Scorpio prefers to acquire the upper hand and know additional for the other than they're willing to share about themselves until they think it is safe to accomplish so. Venus in Scorpio can be jealous, protective, intensely loyal, and secretive. Clandestine romance, adore triangles, and unrequited love are the adverse patterns of relating that arise in the Scorpio fear of exposure and intimacy. People 3 types of relationship have distance and lack of total involvement at their core.

Sometimes Venus in Scorpio takes the all-or-nothing technique - if Venus in Scorpio can't have exactly who it wants, it'll have none at all. Yes, for all of the reputation Scorpio has as the sexiest sign from the zodiac, it can really appear incredibly cold on the surface. Despite her minimal outward display of emotion, Morticia radiates a deep passion, neatly tucked into her form-fitting dress and graceful control. Morticia stands out as the ultimate cool, self-possessed woman. She is also a perfect instance with the social etiquette, which Venus in Scorpio values. Her manners are impeccable and she considers the needs of others, even if her values are a bit skewed, as after she admonishes her mother, "Hush, mama! It is for charity! Widows and orphans. We need much more of them."
