Author, activist and Aquarius Edward Abbey argued, “Power is at all times dangerous. Power attracts the worst and corrupts the most effective.”
Never has the axis of attraction and corruption been drawn more vividly or with more white-collar viciousness than in HBO’s “Succession.”
Written and produced by showrunner Jesse Armstrong, “Succession” follows the Roy family. The Roy children, led by Logan, their sociopathic Scottish patriarch, conspire and conspire to take control of their father’s multibillion-dollar media conglomerate.
This dysfunction runs so deep that the strained Roy family gives the feuding Dutton clan of “Yellowstone” a run for his or her (blood) money.
Daddy problems multiply, poisoned arrows fly, boars fall to the ground, and brutality hangs on every marble bow.
Because the series approaches its fourth and final season, we present an inventory of “Succession” characters as zodiac signs.
Roman Roj
Sending dk pickaxes to his dad, shooting within the mouth, campaigning for a controversial candidate, proposing to a lady after per week of acquaintance, providing near-constant comic relief, and rushing a rocket launch that ends in an enormous fireball, Roman is all Aries. In pursuit of casual sex, he aptly describes himself as “a young warrior in his prime, technically strict but hungry.” Never hesitating to go for the blood or “gutting” or making a cruel bet on a ball game, Roman revels in fanning the flames of his sun sign.
Kendall Roy
Kendall Roy’s birthday falls on May 2, 1981, making him a troublesome yet gentle Taurus sun. Like most Taureans, it takes so much to push Ken out of his peaceful pasture, but once there, it’s just horns, hellfire, and IDGAF press conferences. I am unable to consider anything that speaks more to drugs than a kleptomaniac throwing a celebration with a tunnel, no jackets, and a garden filled with trees whispering compliments.
Greg Hirsch
From throwing up in a mascot costume to blackmailing the most effective of them Gemini Greg “the egg” is nothing wanting a person of many. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and exchange. In nature, natives are masters at manipulating language and exploiting information, and Greg matches the bill, a random snitch whose tall, bumbling stature belies a trained cunning villain and an increasingly worthy heir to an evil empire.
Gerry Kellman
Cancer is ruled by the moon and related to root systems, care and defensive dynamics. While Gerri is just as determined as the opposite players on the show, she’s arguably the least destructive and most nurturing force amongst them, making her a transparent cancer within the group. Add to that Cancer represents the mother archetype, and Roman repeatedly projects his Oedipal fantasies (and unwanted acts) onto Gerri.
Connor Roy
In his run for president, we see Connor Roy attempting to get the nation’s attention to ease the pain of not being loved by his father, thus displaying the wounded lion’s characteristic hunger. Predisposed to frivolity, fanaticism and fantasies, he tracks that a Lion like Con would spend a cool half one million dollars on a fake cut off Napoleon dk. Why be wealthy if you cannot be funny?
Kerry Castellabate
Recently promoted from assistant to mistress, Kerrie is a singular Virgo. Look no further for evidence than her slow and regular climbing, sharp haircuts, and clipping observations. Virgo rules the sixth house of every day habits, and the natives are liable to health, and Kerrie isn’t any exception, serving her boss/boyfriend green juices and mac root smoothies, presumably to extend vitality and masculinity.
By distilling people to the sum of their potential, Virgos can display a really disgusting taste in romantic partners. Our dim-witted fucked lady in anticipation fills it clumsily by meddling/sleeping with the villain to place an end to all villains. You do it to yourself and it really hurts.
Logan Roy
The show reveals that Logan Roy’s birthday is October 14, 1938, making our man a Libra and coincidentally the birthday twin of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of aesthetics and assets, and Libra people can get cut of their pursuit of wealth. It really works.
At its highest, Libra’s energy is diplomatic. At worst, he plays from every possible angle to win. The sign’s Achilles heel is indecision, and Logan’s hesitation, backtracking, and hesitation to call a successor construct the scaffolding for your entire series.
Great calibrators, Libras are masters at sensing people’s needs and twiddling with whether to present it to them or not. Polite when useful, a part of Logan’s power lies in his ability to show charm to a diabolical degree.
Tom Wambsgan
Scorpions come to win and ally at all times and at all times with essentially the most powerful players to make sure their survival; Tom proved his stripes and signed his ruthless betrayal at the tip of season three. Scorpio rules the eighth house of sex, death, secrets, and other people’s money, and Tom is completely calculating in terms of hiding and hoarding sensitive information with the express purpose of payday. As each victim and perpetrator of power dynamics, Tom is a study in standing water, ultimately proving that essentially the most dangerous thing you can do with a scorpion is underestimate it.
Astrology 101: Your guide to the celebrities
Carolina Collingwood
Sagittarius people put brutality on brutally honest, willing to verbally bludgeon without regard to feelings or consequences. Enter Lady Caroline Collingwood, the rebellious, naughty, unfiltered matriarch of Clan Roy. True to her volatile fervor, Caroline quickly deals with the burns, whether speculating about her only daughter’s marriage longevity ON HER WEDDING DAY, bullying her son for cutting his hair, or roasting her ex-husband for his pathetic love life. This woman is self-aware enough to acknowledge that she is best suited to owning dogs than raising children, but unfortunately, she shouldn’t be smart or kind enough to cover this fact from her offspring.
Marcia Roy
Capricorns are concerned with strengthening foundations, constructing empires, securing assets, and reaching the highest of any mountain they intend to beat. This sign rules the tenth house of heritage and public image, and sea goats are stoic strategists willing to maintain their skeletons within the closet and their dirty laundry within the basket. We see these calculating qualities alive and well in Ms. Marcia Roy, who’s willing to maintain up appearances to keep up status and secure spending privileges. Cardinal of the earth, luxury is catnip for the Hoods who are willing to endure loveless marriages and faux it for financial gain.
Shiva Roy
Ruled by task master Saturn and punk rock Uranus, Aquarians are each unconventional and absolutely uncompromising, the 2 pillars manifesting in Logan’s polarizing only daughter, Shiva Roy. As a everlasting air sign, Aquarius relies on logic and sometimes tries to answer or empathize with the emotional nuances of others. By nature, Shiva evokes each sympathy and contempt as a dimwitted conversationalist and serial con artist, weakened by his inability to trust or connect with others. we see you.
Ewan Roy
Ewan Roy, the empathetic older brother of the morally bankrupt Logan, is a pure Pisces. Principled and anxious with the greater good, Ewan cannot completely cut the umbilical cord along with his little brother, and in true Pisces form, he shows compassion when he least deserves it. What really cements this man as water changer is his charity chess move/promise to drop the mic to donate his entire fortune to Greenpeace. Within the case of art imitating life, Ewan’s political leanings are deliberately aligned with those of James Cromwellthe actor who plays him.
