The Surreal Life

     The Uranus-Neptune mutual reception (Uranus is in Neptune's sign Pisces, while Neptune is in Uranus' sign of Aquarius) has greatly intensified our cultural obsession with celebrities. Paparazzi can barely keep up with the absurd public demand for more and more real-life celebrity photos. The line between celebrities and the rest of us is rapidly eroding.
 
     The Surreal Life is a VH1 television series in which second-chance celebrities (Vanilla Ice, “Mini-me” Vern Troyer, etc.) are thrown together in a house and video taped 24/7. It’s surreal, but then again so are the combined energies of Uranus and Neptune.
    
     The show is now in its fifth season and its popularity continues to grow. Each season finds a new batch of one-time “stars” becoming stars once again. When they each drop their stage and glamour masks, as they inevitably must, the television audience finds out that celebrities are human beings who really crave love and human connections, of which fame offers but a dim reflection, more than anything in the world. In that way, Surreal Life celebrities become human-sized and the audience experiences a connection. That is the mutual reception of Uranus and Neptune.
