CNN CEO Jeff Zucker resigns

 


Jeff Zucker resigned on Wednesday as the president of CNN, departing one of the most powerful positions in American media after acknowledging that he had failed to disclose a romantic relationship with another senior executive at the network. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/02/business/media/jeff-zucker-cnn.html 


Here is an extract from a previous post on the CNN horoscope. 

The Cable News Network was launched at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 1, 1980. This data provides the basis for CNN’s horoscope which is shown here. The Sun is in Gemini [11ge], the sign ruled by Mercury which is linked to news and the media. It is placed in the 8th house. In traditional astrology, this the house of “death”. Essentially, it is the house of crisis and shows a need to consolidate and accept the loss of elements of life that are no longer fruitful or have served their purpose. [1] 




Going further, readers will recall that the December 4 Solar Eclipse [12sa] fell opposite CNN’s Sun [11ge] (often the CEO) in the 8th . Eclipses are connected with endings and new beginnings. And of course we know that an eclipse is activated on days that the progressed angles aspect the eclipse degree. Well, take a look at the eclipse chart at Atlanta progressed to Feb. 2. Notice the progressed Ascendant has now reached a conjunction to the eclipse, thereby triggering it. 

About the eclipse, I had written: 

The Sun and Moon are in a wide square to Neptune at the time of the eclipse, which could force us to face up to areas of our lives where we might be deceiving ourselves, exposing a blind spot or area of our life in which we have been deluded. 

This degree asks us to consider the extent to which we have a callous inclination to repudiate responsibility for what we have done – or if we are willing to integrate both failure and accomplishments into personal improvement. https://bit.ly/3B7SGK5

 Finally let us get back to the CNN chart. Here we notice that the Pluto Full Moon of Jan. 17 aligned with the meridian, with the Full Moon conjunct the MC (CEO). Under Pluto transits we need to surrender to the process of decay and regeneration, for resisting its transformative charge due to fear of letting go of the ways things have been can ultimately intensify experiences of upheaval and breakdown which force change. 

Additionally, notice that in the last few days Mercury has been conjunct Pluto (power struggles in news organisations!) and stationing to go direct on Feb.4. No wonder Jeff Zucker had to resign!
