Comedy – an art form that pushes boundaries at best and helps people open their eyes to the different opinions that exist in our world.
When it comes to one of the most successful – and polarizing – comedians of the modern age, few can compare to the one and only Dave Chapelle. With some of the best stand-up comedy specials of the 2010s and multiple shows on Netflix, Chapelle, 49, has been called a super genius for delivering provocative social and political commentary that often ruffles the feathers of “awake” Americans. brings.
With a new show alongside fellow comedian Chris Rock, he has put on a very vocal demonstration against the cancellation culture, while remaining defiant as he stirs the pot.
So what makes him such a fiery and intense figure? Is he out to burn down systems or does he just want to laugh his way to the bank? Join me as we dive into its stars because I’m a pop culture astrologer and I can see everything.
Dave Chapelle’s birth chart shows why he’s a rebel
Dave Chapelle was born on August 24, 1973. This makes him a meticulous Virgo Sun with a moody Cancer Moon. When it comes to elemental energy that makes up his birth chart, he is highly composed of earth and sky. This means that he is a doer – he will stubbornly put his energy into his ideas and goals. The intellectual and calculating side of him also gives him the focus that when he sets his sights on something, he is in it to win it. One thing I also want to point out before delving further into his birth chart is that his Mercury, which rules his communication, is in fiery Leo. He is daring, dramatic and thrives on his theatricality. Oh, and Virgo energy is one of the most observant – and critical – zodiac signs of all, always with a microscope at the people and the world around them.
When I look at his birth chart, some fascinating things come to the fore. First, his Pluto, the planet of intensity and domination, is united with his Ascendant. This means that people immediately see him as a shocking and powerful person, often pushing boundaries. This is one of the things that makes him so polarizing: people love him and bow to him, or they fear him and want to bring him down.
Saturn, the planet of permanence, is also united with its Midheaven – or point of fame and professional success. This means he was meant to be seen as an authority figure, but it could also mean that it took him time to scale those heights. He certainly builds a legacy, but some people will always find him cold, critical, cruel and mean. I think it’s just part of the way the cosmos wanted to build it!
When it comes to astrological aspects that make up his birth chart, we can see several themes emerging. The first should come as no surprise at all: Chapelle was built to be a rebel. In fact, this is written repeatedly all over his map. His Mars, the planet of the drive, collides with Jupiter, the planet of expansion. This makes him a risk taker who is restless, independent and impulsive – so brash that he never thinks twice.
He also has a huge ego because of this, almost to the point where he doesn’t think he can be wrong once he sets his sights on something. Its Jupiter and Saturn are also connected to Pluto, further enhancing its dominant character. He thrives on transformation and has enormous ambition and drive. He was meant to be a leader, but can sometimes be prone to overcompensation for the sake of power and authority. This in no way means he’s a bad guy, but he’s someone who won’t shy away from a fight and will actually rise even stronger when others try to take him down.
His sun, which rules his life force, also dances with Mars, further enhancing his self-confidence and outgoing nature, with a penetrating mind and a pronounced temperament. The final note on this theme is that he runs his Mercury with Uranus, the planet of revolution and rebellion, further enhancing his visionary spirit and his ability to think outside the box. He can quickly fathom complex subjects, think freely and break free from conventions.
He also has incredible flashes of insight that happen regularly, which further opens up his perspective of what life is about and how to stir the point. Finally, to further enhance its ambition and strength, its sun also smiles at Saturn. This shows that he has the focus and concentration to build a lifetime of achievements as he is not afraid to put in the work and fight his way to get them.
What are predictions for Dave Chapelle?
So what lies ahead for Mr. chapel? Let’s take a look. First, he is going through eclipses in 2022 and 2023 around milestone communication and media-related projects. More specials, more shows and more uproar. Yes, there will be controversy, but he is doing it deliberately. Then, much to his happiness and possible dismay, he will see highs and lows around his income and net worth during the same time. There will be some big wins, but he will definitely make shifts in these areas as well.
In 2022 he also sees great opportunities around partnerships – both personal and professional – and this will remain so in 2023. However, he is approaching a Saturn opposition towards the end of 2022 and into 2023 – which will test his strength, present challenges for him to face and karmically force him to rise even more than before. These are not here to hurt him, but to teach him to live in pure alignment with his destiny while hopefully using his gifts to build a better world. You heard it here first.
