Richard Quest, a Pisces with loads of Aquarius, arrested in New York
Richard Quest is a British reporter for CNN, who last Friday was arrested in New York; he had a controlled substance in his possession. Just before the arrest, he had been stopped by the police in Central Park, at a time of night when it was out of bounds to the general public.
At first sight Richard Quest (born on March 9 1962) doesn’t appear to be a typical Pisces. On television he seem to be a real extrovert, who is verbally very fluent. But as I keep saying, one should never forget that the ruler of Pisces is Jupiter. A planet that’s looking for new horizons, that’s often unhappy being in one place for too long. So it’s hardly surprising that one of his main areas of expertise is business travel.
It’s easy to understand how a Pisces can do well in the world of television - they can use their emotional sensitivity to respond almost effortlessly to the demands of their audience. However in Richard Quest’s case he has a fair few planets in Aquarius - Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Aquarius is an individualistic sign, and I believe it helps him to stand out as someone with unique talents.
In Richard Quest’s horoscope there is a close Mars-Jupiter conjunction, which is opposite to Uranus. This suggests that he’s a person with a lot of energy, who puts a high premium on freedom. And maybe there are times when his need for freedom has unexpected results.
From the Spring of 2007 through to the end of 2008 the planet Uranus is close to his Sun in Pisces. Uranus is the planet of unexpected happenings, as well as being a significator of dramatic change. So the arrest might have been influenced by Uranus, with Mars acting as a trigger - I say this because last Friday Mars was making an 120 degree aspect to his Sun.
It’s also possible that Richard Quest is sensitive to the Mars-Jupiter cycle. He was born at a conjunction of these planets, and at the moment they are opposite each other. This might mean that he is being challenged to use his energy in a constructive way, and that he’s perhaps making the odd mistake.
We might also be dealing with Fate. I don’t know what impact, if any, the arrest will have on Richard Quest’s career, but maybe Fate is giving him a gentle hint that it’s time for a change. Yes, he’s very good at his job, but maybe he could be making even better use of his talents somewhere else?
