PERSEPHONE'S LAIR

RJ Mitte, 21 August 1992 - 12 October 2026
I have no desire to write much anymore, I really never enjoyed it, I’m more of an editor type and I communicate better through movement and sound.
I felt the need to share this, partly because I’ve been accused many times publicly for being a witch archetype, but mostly because I’m so damn heartbroken and deeply moved by this beautiful soul, RJ Mitte, who worked so very hard at life and left too soon. It’s always devastating when someone takes their own life, especially a young person, and what a beautiful, kind human he was. Although I didn’t know much about him until recently, I’ve been crying and grieving for days while learning.
As an astrologer, I know what kind of energies were at play in the sky during the days leading up to his death. It's an intense time for a lot of people, I looked at his chart and it’s obvious he was being hit with it, on top of the hardships he was carrying. The saddest part is that if he could’ve made it just a day or two more, I believe he might’ve pulled through. Things were about to shift and get a little bit lighter, there'd be some breathing room at least. You can see the pain in his eyes in his final appearances, his perfect smile remained, it’s so sad. Prayers for his family and all of his loved ones.
A few astrology details, there’s just way too much, I don’t have the energy to do more of this… ever
A recent intense dark moon phase, with a deeply emotional dark new Moon, in it's fall, in Scorpio as it moves into the sign on Sunday morning Oct 11th, with Venus retrograde, in detriment, and a tense square aspect from Mars in Leo to Venus, while Venus is becoming invisible and also approaching a hard aspect to Pluto who is just stationing direct. Yes, that's one sentence. And more..
RJ Mitte was born with a Mars / Venus exact square both at 17 degrees
That dark new moon at 17 Libra on October 10 was also aspecting his natal Mars.
Mars takes action, likes to cut and end things.
His natal Sun placement at 28 Leo, is where the South node of the Moon is currently.
And so on..
10/10/2026, New Moon 17° Libra Today
Sabian Symbol: Two men placed under arrest.
I'll be on an underworld journey until late October or November with Venus retrograde. This song fits, especially as we move into the dark season and there happens to be no planets in the Earth signs for a while.. Besides the Moon, which travels quickly through the zodiac every 28 days or so, spending 2-3 days in each sign. October 25th there's a Full Moon in Taurus, which is the earthy domicile of Venus and place of the Moon's exaltation.
Libra is Air element and it's the other sign that's also ruled by Venus.
Jim Morrison was born with the Moon in Taurus and Venus in Scorpio, Venus is currently in Scorpio, slowly descending from evening star position.
