Magi Astrology of Forrest Gump

We use Magi Astrology to look at some of the Cinderella energy of Forrest Gump

MOVIE MAGIC: The film not only made money - it captured hearts

The Birth of a Film

The time a movie is first shown to the public is its birth chart – and like any natalization chart, this will represent the energy of the entity – as well as its future potentials.

So when I heard about Tom Hanks and Robert Zemeckis having put up their own money to fund a threatened scene in the Forrest Gump movie, which was a spectacular success, I thought it would be interesting to look at the astrology of this.

A Cinderella moment for Tom Hanks

Not only did Tom Hanks win a Best Actor Academy Award – he also reportedly made $65 million from the 1994 film Forrest Gump, with a strategy that mirrors the film’s story of smart investment.

While Forrest Gump’s early investment in Apple Computer was fiction, Hank’s investment in the film was not. Studio executives did not think the film would amount to much and the long scene where Forrest runs across the country for three years was threatened.

Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis paid to save it, against a cut of the back end.

Again according to sources, this is where Hanks made most of the $65 million windfall.

FORREST GUMP: The birth chart of a film is created when it is shown to the public

The film Forrest Gump (Sun) is a film (Pallas) that conveys ideas (Mercury) of benevolence (Jupiter and Vesta) and charisma (Chiron) around a man who has found fortune (the Jupiter-Chiron midpoint).

More Magi Astrology money potential

In addition to the Jupiter-Chiron energy in the geocentric chart above, we find an amazing alignment in the heliocentric chart for the film.

FINANCE MAGIC: Venus, Chiron, Midas and the Jupiter-Chiron midpoint combine

We have an alignment between Venus, Chiron, Midas and the Jupiter-Chiron midpoint. These are all financial "planets" or energies. We have beautiful money (Venus) with charismatic and business money (Chiron) with money that could have a downside in other areas (Midas) combined with a Cinderella experience and the general success of a venture (the Jupiter-Chiron midpoint).

Does this connect to Hanks and Zemeckis?

Since both Hanks and Zemeckis made lots of money from the film and they uplifted the film, there could be a connection via this monetary Cinderella alignment. Let's see.

TOM CINDERELLA: Charisma and fantasy connects

For Tom Hanks, his chart connects via Chiron (charisma, career and social standing) and Juno (fantasy and dreams). Key components of his acting skill.

DIRECTOR ZEMECKIS: Money connects with directing talent

For Robert Zemeckis, his chart connects via talented (Chiron) control (Saturn) of ideas and communication (Mercury) and logical sequencing (Pallas) of a movie (Uranus and Pallas). He won the Academy Award for Best Director for Forrest Gump.
