To answer these questions, let's analyze Macaulay Culkin's horoscope! ✨
But first, an educational moment. It's important to know that there are static promises in a horoscope and there are dynamic ones.
What does this mean? I think you can guess - those very periods.
Sometimes planets are beautifully positioned in a chart, but the periods of these planets occur either in very early childhood or in old age. Or they may even happen after death (a full cycle is 120 years, which also hints at how long people can theoretically live). Thus, a person does not fully receive the benefits due to them.
For example, you can't have a good husband at 5 years old, or achieve an incredible career at 80, simply because there isn't enough strength for realization.
The good news is that this also applies to bad planets. You can have very unpleasant positions in your chart, but if the period does not occur during your lifetime, there is no need to worry about it.
However, you have already guessed that today we are talking about the case when life resembles a roller coaster, with all its flavors!
Macaulay was born into a family with an unsuccessful actor father who projected all his ambitions onto his children. As a result, from an early age, the father dragged all his children to auditions. And there were 7 of them!
Here, we already may wonder why, with the same approach, not all of them became celebrities?
Of course, it's worth noting that the sign Leo is very prominent in Macaulay's personality. Yes, Leo, as the Sun enters Leo only in mid-August in our time. So, half of the "Virgos" may not be surprised by their occasional desire to shine.
Leos love being the center of attention, on stage, under the spotlight, being seen. Leo is a Sun sign, and such people want to shine. Either they excel in their field or they shine in show business.
So, despite memories of the little boy being scared to be lost on a big stage, Macaulay did his best. This is an absolutely natural environment for Leos.
But then, why don't all Leos become famous actors, especially at a young age?
Of course, combinations or yogas are needed—special planetary alignments that bring fame and wealth.
In Macaulay's chart, we see a very strong Gaja Kesari Yoga, formed by the Moon and Jupiter. This position indicates that the person will be outstanding, wealthy, intelligent, and endowed with many blessings.
In addition to this, there are other Raja and Dhana yogas—combinations of success and wealth, respectively. But it is the Gaja Kesari Yoga that set the tone for Culkin's entire life.
Guess during which period his life began? During the period of Jupiter.
And in which sub-period did he become world-famous by starring in "Home Alone" and receiving his main life awards? Correct, during the sub-period of the Moon.
Shall we look in more detail?
Which other planets form Raja yogas? Mercury, Venus, Mars. The Sun is also well-placed in its own house. And Rahu gives the results of its dispositor, which means the Moon.
It seems like everything should go smoothly here. And overall, it indeed did.
Jupiter-Mercury started in 1983, and it is mentioned that Macaulay was not even 4 years old when he began performing. Thus, having been born in 1980, he had no chance for a normal childhood.
Jupiter-Venus - 1986-1989 - he started getting real roles in feature films.
Jupiter-Sun - 1989 - he shone in the film 'Uncle Buck,' which led to meeting John Hughes, who later wrote the script for the iconic Christmas comedy 'Home Alone' specifically for Macaulay.
Jupiter-Moon - 1990-1991 - filming of 'Home Alone,' incredible success, nominations for well-known film awards, three of which he won.
The next time he won was in 1992, when the sub-period of Rahu began. This was also when the sequel 'Home Alone 2' was filmed.
By the way, Rahu always introduces an element of novelty into life. A person either wants to or has to try something new. During this period, Macaulay tried to escape the image of Kevin that was haunting him and took on a new role for himself - a villain in the film 'The Good Son.' However, critics did not particularly appreciate it.
And so, the whole world predicts he will have fame no less than Shirley Temple's. If you don't know, she was the most successful child actor, earning a huge fortune at an early age and the first child to receive an Oscar.
But, as they say, something went wrong. Suddenly, in 1994, after filming 'Richie Rich,' Macaulay announced his retirement. He wanted to live an ordinary life and didn't need all of this.
So what is happening with the periods? At the end of 1994, the period of Saturn begins. And Saturn is unfavorably positioned in Culkin's chart—in the 8th house. It's fortunate that it's not retrograde or Atmakaraka, otherwise, it would have been even harder.
The 8th house itself is responsible for difficulties, obstacles, suffering, depression, illnesses, addictions, illegal activities, etc. And if Saturn, a planet that also brings problems, delays, and obstacles, is there, it will be tough. The 8th house is also the house of secrets and hidden things. From the moment it was activated, Macaulay wanted to hide. Although this seems very strange and illogical for an extroverted Leo.
However, Saturn also activates another prominent part of Culkin's personality—Aquarius. He is a Moon and Rising Aquarius. This is the opposite sign to Leo—introverted, pessimistic, strange, immersed in thoughts about the meaning of life, and so on.
Saturn also aspects the 10th house—the house of career—thus slowing it down, the 2nd house—the house of the parental family—and during Saturn-Saturn, his parents divorced, and the 5th house—the house of education—and Macaulay claimed that he wanted to study like normal kids. But Saturn being Saturn, he didn't get a higher education.
By the way, he continued acting periodically. However, there were no outstanding projects or roles during this period.
But let's not forget that fame can also come for negative reasons, such as tabloid headlines.
Saturn-Mercury - 1997-2000 - he got married, with some reports stating it was at 17, not 18. The press couldn't ignore this, aloneside with the legal process to strip his parents of the right to manage his finances.
Saturn-Venus - 2001-2004 - he did find some work, playing in the film 'Party Monster.'
But his arrest for drug possession attracted much more attention. There were talks about how the former star now suffered from alcohol and drug addiction.
What did Saturn-Moon bring? 2005-2007 - during this time, he wrote an autobiographical novel. It wasn't a success, but it was quite a therapeutic project.
During Saturn-Jupiter - 2011-2013, he particularly stood out. His condition worsened to the point where he made headlines for an overdose.
After that, he sought serious help and went through rehabilitation.
In general, if we delve into the details, they would be quite negative. I think it’s clear enough that the Saturn period was very harsh on Macaulay.
What kind of terrifying creature is Saturn? Should everyone be afraid of it? Why does it ruin lives so much?
First of all, it depends on the placement and quality of Saturn in the chart. It won't be a bad planet for everyone. For example, for Taurus and Libra Rising, Saturn is the best planet.
But it brings its lessons to everyone nonetheless.
Yes, yes, Saturn does not engage in punishment. Saturn is the great teacher!
What does he teach us, then?
First and foremost, humility. That not everything is under our control, and sometimes the more we resist, the worse we make things for ourselves.
He teaches patience—patience and hard work conquer all. This means that we shouldn't give up or succumb to despair. We need to continue fulfilling our duties and working hard, and the results will come, just with a delay.
He teaches optimism. Saturn, more than anyone else, can lead people to true spirituality. Not the superficial kind, which is abundant nowadays, but the real thing. When there's nowhere left to run and nothing helps, all that remains is to pray—to turn to some higher power in the hope that someone is there and might listen.
Spoiler: someone is definitely there, and we are always heard. It doesn't even matter what name or form you give it. What matters is the purity of faith ♥️
Thus, the young successful actor never suspected that his desire to 'study' would be fulfilled so deeply.
And so, in 2013, the period changes, and now Mercury takes the lead at the ball. And what does Mercury do? That's right, it brings good results.
And in 2013, Macaulay has already created his own music group. Of course, there isn't huge success, but the guys even have gigs.
Mercury-Venus - 2017-2020 - Culkin begins his comeback: he launches a comedy podcast, appears in a couple of films, but most importantly, he finds happiness in his relationships.
Mercury-Moon - end of 2020-2022 - and now it's pretty much a comeback: a noticeable role in 'American Horror Story,' walks the runway for Gucci, but even more valuable to him personally—he becomes a father.
Mercury-Rahu - 2023-2025 - has already brought him a star on the Walk of Fame. And it's quite likely that Macaulay will delight us with something else in the near future, especially since Mercury-Jupiter follows right after, until 2028.
However, from 2030 to 2037, there will be a Ketu period, and that will be like a reevaluation. Ketu also pushes people towards spirituality. Let's hope that during Saturn's period, Culkin did indeed learn his lessons.
But even if it's tough, from 2037 onwards, he'll be charged up by a 20-year period of Venus, and everything will be good for him again! We're not expecting grand success, but he could show himself to be a very good actor during this period.
And now, the thought for which this analysis was initiated: could anything have been changed if the parents had known about these periods in advance?
Of course, the Saturn period couldn't have been cancelled. He would have had to live through it anyway. And it would have yielded its results - in the form of career setbacks, parental divorce, and so on.
But the attitude towards the situation could have been changed. Understanding what is happening and how long it will last gives strength to cope with difficult moments.
And here are two paths - either alcohol and illicit substances, or spiritual practices. In the latter case, with due diligence, even during a very tough Saturn period, one can feel happy, no matter what lessons come.
So, knowledge is power! ♥️
