Loved your analysis of this controversial movie, Leave the World Behind. The charts are interesting and invite a lot of contemplation. I loved the movie--and the ending, which for me was a blast of Dr. Strangelove, and full of symbolism--Mary eating junk food, her media obsession and with "Friends" no less, when the meaning of friends-as-more-than-friends is part of the exploration of the movie. I also take it as a warning of how vulnerable we really are, and the cyber-attack threat is not without possibility on any given day.
The deer! Your deer experience--how interesting. And the illusion of it all. Deer entered my life this year by way of my son's accident on July 4th, midnight, colliding with a deer that had left the median on I-5 and dashed into his car. My son and his friend were unhurt, his car damaged, and the deer dead. That accident seemed to be the first of three events that led to my son's car totaled and him in a rental car now, on my credit card, awaiting trust funds to buy a new-used car. So that deer, and the subsequent calamities is still with us.
Seems to me the tie-in with the movie and all of our deer stories is death, 8th house, and reflections on the destruction of habitat. Media seems Neptunian through and through but animals seem Virgo, grounded in reality, foretellers of our fate if we get distracted and lose connection with people.
For me, too, the question looms--what is our rightful inheritance and what legacy do we leave behind. My son awaits trust money inherited from his father to buy another vehicle that can get in more accidents. On July 4th--freedom celebration day, and security (Cancer)--I later learned a new friend of mine died. My Uranian surprise awaits--she bequeathed here three bank accounts to me and one other, co-beneficiaries. 8th house, where Aquarian Pluto takes up residence for the rest of my life.
Thanks for writing such thought-provoking Substack articles.
I just looked up "deer" in The Rulership Book by Rex E. Bills. He has Venus primary, Uranus in parentheses. The movie's chart has Venus in Virgo (5th house) trine Uranus in Taurus (Rising), so that ties in both your comment on Virgo for animals in general and The Rulership Book's take on deer specifically. Good catch.
Deer as Uranian would make sense for their frequent role in causing car accidents like your son's. More broadly, they evade our attempts at control and predictability — they frequently thwart my mom's efforts to grow vegetables in her garden. That could be their role in the movie, just yet another representation of Uranian chaos.
