Here’s why five-time Virgin Blake Lively is showing her dark side right now

Virgo season is upon us, and as we move from the body glitter and ring lights of Leo season to the tweeds, sourdough, and judgment of Virgo, one of the ranks of this star sign has shown its shadow.

Blake Lively has been called out by social media users for focusing on beautiful floral fashion, her hair care line and her husband’s film while promoting It Ends With Us, a film anchored on the devastating effects of violence in family.

Meanwhile, old interview footage of Lively using profanity and being randomly cruel to interviewers and actors has surfaced.

And lest we forget the time Lively married on a plantation, launched a lifestyle brand inspired by the “glamor” of the antebellum South, and told Vogue that the movie “Shawshank Redemption” made her laugh.

Lord.

WTF is going on with this Virgo? Read on to learn more.

Virgo Five

Born August 25, 1987, Lively is a quintuple Virgo with sun, moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus all landing in the sign of side eye and divine discernment.

This unholy amount of Virgo energy falls primarily on Lively’s first house of identity, which shows how we project ourselves and how we are perceived by others. Virgo represents service and simplification, but in the first house, this can quickly translate into a self-serving agenda.

Checks out.

There is an elitism in Virgo; they expect the best from themselves and extend the same punitive standard to others, often making those who try to get to know, cooperate with, or question them feel insignificant or inadequate at worst at best.

Leo rising

Add to that Blake is a rising Leo. Our rising sign is similar to the mask/emblem we wear when facing a crowd or meeting a stranger. In Leo, he straddles the line between confidence and arrogance, feeding intently like a lizard on the last gasp of golden hour sunlight.

In nature, all press is good press for this, and all the talk that centers them, whether hatred or exaltation, is evidence of their power to command.

Nothing is more conducive to raising a rocking Leo than having a hair care line and using every available opportunity to distribute those goods to the masses.

Leo s–t also explains Lively’s inappropriate habit of turning serious issues into fodder for seriously bad jokes.

Leo X Virgo

Virgo is sharp, and Leo is loud.

Together, Virgo X Leo equals the bad girl, a distinct air of superiority and sarcasm, a stab and a smile, a joke and a kick, if you will.

This combination may also be at the root of why Lively has played the proud muse to very, very problematic men like Wood Allen and Karl Lagerfeld.

Mars in the first house

Add to the mix the meaning that Lively has Mars, the planet of will and struggle, conjunct her Sun in the first house. Mars, in the first, shows a person with great potential to lead, but also a person who can easily lean into defensiveness, aggressive actions and unnecessary confrontations.

The driving energy of Mars in the first may also be the source of Lively’s feud with director Justin Baldoni because, believe me folks, this Mars was made to call the shots, not take them.

Venus in Virgo

Venus, the planet of aesthetics and attraction in Virgo, is alive.

I thought Tom Ford calling his little boy’s dinosaur shoes ‘tacky’ was the height of shameless disdain for the brand…until I saw this video of a fan presents Lively with a bracelet. She hands it to someone else, telling the giver, “I’ll put it here because it doesn’t go with my outfit, but I’ll wear it later.”

Do you know what goes against crystal bodies and flower application? Shamelessness.

Why now?

Mercury, the ruling planet of Virgo, has been retrograde for most of the ‘It Ends With Us’ press tour and people, it shows. Retrogrades are a ripe time for reckoning, a clear point for Livley in recent weeks. And yet, she has remained remarkably silent on the controversy.

Next?

Nothing is more erotic or satisfying to a Virgo than being right, so much so that they often fail to realize what they’ve done wrong. Though astrology is more reflection than prediction, I bet my cracked crystals will shave off her gorgeous mane before she owns up or offers a mea culpa.
