The Astrology of Blake Lively’s Legal Battle
No matter how you feel about Blake Lively, it’s disappointing and horrifying when there are allegations of harassment against women. Let’s explore some of the predictive timing for Blake, through the lens of Medieval Astrology and the techniques from Dr Ali Olomi.
The Month of Burden
It’s interesting that Blake was having her Month of Burden during the promotion of her latest movie “It Ends With Us” where she says the director Justin Baldoni orchestrated a smear campaign to discredit her after harassing her during filming.
The Month of Burden in Medieval Islamic Astrology is a month in the year that can often feel like having to endure a burden or hardship over time and its calculated as part of a person's Solar Return. The Month of Burden is not unique to Blake—Everyone gets a Month of Burden every year, falling in a different month with a different theme.
Her Month of Burden (MOB) landed in her Aug 24—Sept 24 2024 monthly revolution and follows the film’s release on August 9, 2024 where she says she starts getting backlash. It falls in her dodecatemoria of Cancer, her natal 12th House, bringing forth difficult themes of isolation, the evil eye, curses, enemies, and plots.
Months of Destiny, Months of Action
In addition to her Month of Burden, she was also having a Month of Destiny at this same time (Aug 24-Sept 24), bringing on internal decisions and realizations for her.
Then in the next month between Sept 24-Oct 24, the continuous transfer through her dodecatemoria fell in Aries, her natal 9th house of legal matters, judges and the law. There are also activations of Venus through the monthly revolution at this time.
Putting it all together, the theme of the months immediately following her birthday in 2024 is matters of law related to women’s issues—presumably she’s gearing up for her sexual harassment lawsuit.
She files charges against the director on Friday Dec 20, 2024 during her Nov 23 – Dec 22, 2024 monthly revolution - which is a Month of Destiny and a Month of Action for Blake. Months of Action in Medieval astrology are when we take pivotal actions. These actions can be either public or private.
Blake’s Solar Return shows she’s up for a fight
Her solar return has Mercury, her Lord of the Year from her natal Ascendant in a tight but friendly aspect with Mars, the god of war. She also has Jupiter (& Mercury) rejoicing—granting favor of rulers, allies, and the will to accomplish all that she seeks. But will she?
A Leo rising sign in the Solar Return means Blake will be decisive and steady/firm in her actions this year. The “year” in a Solar Return is from birthday to birthday, and she’s certainly coming across this way since her birthday in August 2024.
The astrology for Blake Lively into 2025
We know the Solar Return covers the year from birthday-to-birthday, so what can we expect for Blake in early 2025? Her March 21-April 21, 2025 monthly revolution looks challenging as seen in the chart below. This is a Peak (pivotal) Month, a Month of Action, and a Month of Destiny w/ Mars in Cancer in the 10th squaring her monthly revolution Ascendant in Libra.
Venus - the ruler of her Libra ascendant in this monthly revolution is in the 7th House, and is weakened in the sign of Aries, retrograde & damaged by being too close to the Sun.
I would expect to see her legal battle coming to a climax during March 21-April 21, 2025. Although at the time of writing this, it seems like she has receipts to prove her case and she obviously has the financial backing to see this through, I think March 21—April 21 will be tough for her, perhaps she takes a hit to her reputation or other difficulties come to light.
This March 21-April 21 time period is also a Corruption of the Moon - as we see her Moon is separating from a tight square with Saturn. Corruption of the Moons foretell stressful months, indicating ailments of the soul and body.
