Stephen Colbert, the US comedian, writer, producer, political commentator, actor, and television host, best known recently for The Late Show has been retired by CBS network. They say despite its success the show lost heavily financially. There was speculation that it was tied to a settlement agreement which gave Donald Trump $16 million over a lawsuit with the CBS network parent Paramount Global, then involved in a merger that required approval. “Bribe” was the description bandied about.
Stephen Colbert, born 13 May 1964, no birth time, Washington, DC is an enduring Sun Taurus in a creative opposition to Neptune; with a talented Half Grand Sextile from Saturn opposition Uranus Pluto, sextile/trine Venus North Node in Cancer and a high vitality Mercury, Mars, Jupiter conjunction in Taurus. He does look rattled this year with tr Uranus square his Saturn and then Uranus this July to end of November and again in 2027. Plus tr Pluto square his Mars this year which could be trapped and infuriating but since his Jupiter is close by it may spur him on to make more waves. Though he will also face setbacks in late 2027 from Solar Arc Saturn conjunct his Mars.
What is less important than his personal chart – since television is a rough business and careers come and go – is his relationship to the USA given the Trump Administration’s war on the media and indeed corrupt judicial tactics of late – which presenters like Colbert would have pointed up.
He shares Venus at 2 degrees Cancer with the USA 1776 chart with his North Node exactly conjunct. Venus in one of its meanings produces a desire for fairness and social justice. His relationship chart with the USA is highly strung and combative but very locked together in a ‘fated’ yod of Uranus sextile Mars inconjunct Saturn, hinting that there is a necessary connection which will not be easily broken.
Oddly enough or maybe not his Taurus Sun is exactly conjunct the 1st house Uranus on the 2025 Inauguration chart which latter can point to a lawless streak. One of the less edifying sides of Uranus.
Without a birth time it is difficult to assess whither in terms of Colbert’s career but with his temperament it is unlikely he will fade out of sight.
