BEN AND JEN DO THEY HAVE A CHANCE?

The Great Love Story Jennifer Lopez is Trying to Tell? Is It Hollywood Fiction?

Ben and Jen, Bennifer, the greatest love on earth? Except not. We’re in a scary time as we watch the world fall apart around us. But there is one thing happening that makes me hopeful — that people are beginning to wake up to mainstream media bullshit. It’s getting harder and harder to con us with claims that are, frankly, embarrassing. In the future, we could ask that our idols be honest with us? Okay, demand it.

We have become so narcissistic ourselves that we are applauding celebrities that aren’t actually talented. Instead they overwhelm us with glitz/glamour, with social media/regular media, with huge displays of money and the things that wealth can buy. No reality whatsoever required. It’s the narcissistic motto: I’ll overlook your shortcomings if you overlook mine — if you let me pretend I’m something I’m not, then you can also pretend on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok that you’re someone you’re not. Unless you’re JLo and you’ve pushed your luck to the limit.

How talented is JLo? I’ve always liked her as an actress. This, to me, is where this Leo lady shines. I loved her in Out of Sight, Maid in Manhattan, Hustlers. But the minute she starts being inauthentic, she fails in my eyes. She is not a high fashion model or a singer for that matter. Her body is average at best. She takes good care of herself. I do admire her for that. But clearly, she’s not the sex symbol that she’s trying to sell us, because sex symbols like Marilyn are vulnerable and sweet. She’s Jenny From the Block! JLo is a boss. Her only hope for Ben sticking around is getting real.

Leo’s like the limelight. Her Sun and Mercury are focal planets meaning she thinks the world revolves around her, and she can be quite abusive verbally. And if she isn’t, she attracts people who are. Her Venus is in the cold air sign of Gemini. Love is a game and as is true with all Gemini, a lie. Her keystone planet is her Scorpio Moon. Yes, more celebrities with Scorpio Moons. It’s a nasty position for the Moon, but the entertainment industry is perfect for that level of fatal attraction/determination.

Ben, on the other hand, is a highly successful Academy Award winning script writer, Good Will Hunting, and director, producer and actor, Argo, which also won an Academy Award. He has talent. But also a huge problem with drugs, alcohol and gambling. But then, he isn’t asking us to worship him.

The gossip on the street is that marrying JLo would somehow help Ben with his gambling debts. And that’s not too hard for me to believe based on the stories floating around Hollywood. And the fact that Ben looks miserable. All the time.

So what are the chances for these two people? Ben also has a Scorpio Moon. I could stop there. Two manipulating, revengeful, angry, over-sexed, people trying to control each other? Not in this Universe.

Ben is also a Leo with Mercury conjunct. His focal planet is Mars — do what I say when I say it. His Venus is in family oriented Cancer. He also has Cancer rising.

JLo right now has her predictive Sun conjunct Pluto. This is a very brutal wake-up call. Her career is spinning out of control due to her excessive narcissism. And her pretend relationship is getting outed. Most of us are so saturated with her, we wouldn’t mind at all if she just disappeared.

Ben has so much going on in his chart that only a couple of years ago, I didn’t think he would live through it. Pluto just quit conjuncting his Mars with both planets squaring Jupiter. That’s just a rough ride. I will say that he tried the best that he could. He tried to clean up his act. But rarely will that work with those kinds of nasty aspects. Then a miracle happened.

Both Ben’s natal Mars and predictive Venus moved to trine Jupiter. Now, if you can’t work it out, you will never be able to work it out. And Ben has stood by for most of a year. However, underneath the good aspect, that same Venus is sitting on his natal malefic Mars. Venus issues, love, still will struggle to flourish.

Since Ben is in Jupiter now, he wisely wants out. The decision to marry her was calculated and some say didn’t materialize. He shouldn’t be leaving when JLo’s world is circling the drain, but he can’t help by staying. He was way too close to that drain himself. And while she may be the boss, Ben doesn’t like to be bossed around.
