crimsoncurrent7 Aries
The emperor's fool, in cap and bells, sits peacefully under a flowering tree. When he sees his master walking down the street stark naked, he yells at him to put on some clothes.
Maintaining the simple, direct, honest mind of the child; basing one's reality on what one sees and what one experiences (guileless commentary); frank appraisal; cutting through the bull (pointing out the Emperor's new clothes); potency of action when one deals with the situation as it really is and ignores the false representations of the ruling elite; zeroing in on the truth, even if people aren't ready to hear it (bring up taboo subjects like sex, class and race); being wise enough to seek further clarification vs. being foolish enough to think one has all the answers (are hard to fool but can fool themselves); being honest and direct in one's approach to life; relaxed acceptance of the central givens of life vs. being drawn into the superficial concerns of society; exposing the naked truth.
Examples: Lina Wertmuller (Uranus. Filmmaker who examines sexual relationships between the classes—Swept Away); Sir Thomas More (Venus. Author of Utopia, he died rather than acquiesce to Henry VIII's break with the Catholic Church); Dr. Jack Kevorkian (Uranus. Activist in the Right to Die movement); Joseph Campbell (Jupiter, Mercury. Researcher in comparative mythology); Jimmy Kimmel (Saturn. Comic—The Man Show); Gregory Peck (Mercury. Actor—To Kill a Mockingbird); Dr. Ruth Westheimer (Uranus. Outlandish sex educator); Vicki Lawrence (Sun. Harshly realistic comedienne—Mama's Family); Alfred Kinsey (North Node. Sexual researcher—The Kinsey Report); Christian Anfinsen (Sun. Biochemist—The Molecular Basis of Evolution); George Wallace (Chiron. Racist politician); Bill Moyers (Moon. Reporter who explodes Establishment fictions); Giulietta Masina (Mars. Actress—Nights of Cabiria—about a woman who is routinely fooled in love); Arlo Guthrie (Moon. Folksinger—Alice's Restaurant); Vince Vaughn (Chiron. Actor—Four Christmases—about painful revelations in a relationship).
