Eddie Redmayne is receiving positive reviews for his performance as the reptilian assassin in a remake of Frederick Forsyth’s best selling The Day of the Jackal. The previous 1973 Fred Zinneman movie based on the book about the attempted assassination of French President Charles De Gaulle had Edward Fox in the lead. This version ‘swaps the French political intrigue — for a modern world of dark-web activity and high-tech communications, all the while retaining its old-school suspense.’
Scanning across the charts there are odd coincidences. Eddie Redmayne, 6 January 1982 8pm London was born three days before the Princess of Wales and Tory MP Robert Jenrick with a mid degree Capricorn Sun square Mars and also square Saturn Pluto, in Libra.
Frederick Forsyth, 25 August 1938 has his Venus in mid degree Libra exactly opposition Saturn in Aries. And Jean Bastien-Thiry, 10 October 1927 8.15pm Luneville, France, who was the initial inspiration for the killer in Forsyth’s book had a mid degree Libra Sun and Mars opposition a mid degree Aries Moon. He was a French Air Force lieutenant-colonel and military air weaponry engineer, who objected to De Gaulle giving Algeria independence and was the last person to be executed by firing squad in France, on 11 March 1963. It happened in great haste despite an appeal about to be heard which might have overturned his death sentence. He evidently refused a blindfold and was clutching a rosary when he was shot within days of tr Jupiter being conjunct his 10th house Jupiter. And how’s that for a ‘successful’ tr Jupiter through the 10th?
The only one missing those mid degree Cardinal signs was De Gaulle, 22 November 1890 4am Lille, France, who had the same Neptune Pluto conjunction in Gemini in his 8th like Hitler, in his case opposition Mercury and Venus in Sagittarius with a final degree Scorpio Sun.
Eddie Redmayne has had a steady career with successes on stage and recently notably playing the transgender artist Lili Elbe in The Danish Girl (2015), followed by the Fantastic Beasts film series; and The Good Nurse about a serial killer.
He has tr Jupiter moving across his 10th now for a successful few months; with his Solar Arc Uranus conjunct his Sun for a major change as well; and his SA Neptune conjunct his Venus, good for film projects; and a revved up Mars in Libra being propelled by the eclipses in Libra/Aries to move into higher gear. His Air Grand Trine of Mars trine a 10th house Gemini Moon trine Venus, formed into a Kite by Moon opposition Uranus, will get a bolt of lightning from tr Uranus opposition his Uranus in 2026 and conjunct his 10th house Moon so his career will be moving into a speeded-up phase.
