Philippe Starck

Famous Industrial Product Designer Philippe Starck (I think he's French) says that he will retire in two years. He says that he's tired of living in a Material World and that everything he has created was "unnecessary." He says that the only thing that really matters is one's ability to Love. That's Donkey Manure, of course. I smelled a gnarly progression coming up, at any rate.

Okay, Starck's 59 years old. Just watch a Capricorn going through his 2d Saturn Return. What a grump.

For materialism one would expect heavily weighted Earth which is what Starck's chart is. All his major elements except for his Sagittarius Rising are in Earth Signs. He's certainly fulfilled his designated mission here on Earth. Starck's Ascendant, although in a Fire sign, is progressing through Capricorn as well. He's got no planets in Water (feelings) and only Pluto in Fire (enthusiasm). Truth is, with that much Earth in his chart, Starck wouldn't be retiring if he hadn't made enough money to live really comfortably.

What's really interesting is Starck's progressed Sun. In two years when he retires it will be on the last degree of Pisces. That's also the last degree of the Zodiac and is probably the most creative spot in the whole horoscope as it passes into Aries. That will be a good time for a rebirth for Starck.

This comment really angers me because it sends a really stupid message out to the kids. With Global Warming and Internationalism coming up kids should be encouraged to become Designers in order to figure out how to find Solutions in order to exist in the World.
