An astrologer tweeted about how a lot of people with great fame have 12H placements and I started thinking about how many celebs have malefics in the 12H and how you need to be insanely detached and to know secret psychological (sometimes borderline manipulative) tactics to be famous. You have to be able to observe, fully detach and morally disengage (almost in an inhumane way) to be irresponsive to controversies, smear campaigns, criticism, and rumors. A lot of politicians and celebs with 12H malefics have been shown to be really good at this.
In a way, you have to detach from your conscience and inner compass. You also have to possess an insane amount of delusion to gain that amount of success. Famous people have used manipulation tactics, law of assumption, law of attraction, manifestation (and i’m sure black magic) to get to where they are (ex. Marilyn Monroe, Gaga, Mariah Carey, and Chris Farley all have Rahu in the 12H and have spoken about manifestation). By deliberately creating a false persona you will naturally appeal more to the masses, but then again that puts you at risk for all kinds of psychological damage. Chris Farley for example exhibited a lot of identity issues and idealized and over identified with comedian John Belushi, eventually emulating him to where their life trajectories overlapped—he died the same way at the same age John Belushi died. Elon Musk, Trump, Epstein, and Alfred Bloomingdale all deeply posses souls that have been totally abandoned.
Personas can ultimately shield you from the danger of absorbing everything around you and attaching to controversy/accusations/projections from others, but when you’ve over identified with a false self, a solid “true/core self” cannot properly form. In my opinion I’ve always thought that celebs have hella issues with identity outside of when they’re not playing a role, especially those who were raised into fame. I can imagine it to be extremely spiritually and psychologically damaging to over identify with a masked version of yourself.
A lot of people want to escape their conscience, but it’s much harder to escape from your conscience at night because there’s less to distract you, that’s why 12H activation disturbs your sleep and why you see so many ppl suffer from insomnia, esp folks with 12H malefics. Marilyn Monroe had a cocktail of meds prescribed to her for sleep, Elon Musk has taken sedatives to sleep at night bc he’s frequently sleep deprived and Chris Farley’s roommate said that Chris would stay up until sunrise because he was afraid of the dark. Lady Gaga, Chappell Roan, Madonna, Mariah Carey, George Clooney, and Rihanna, some of the most successful people all have 12H malefics and have expressed their struggles with insomnia and mental health battles, as well as the others I previously mentioned.
Heavy workloads and overactive lifestyles will def impact your sleep yes, but ignoring the pleas of your inner self will also keep you up at night and ultimately haunt you because there’s a restlessness and lack of inner peace. People use external affairs, work and drugs (6H) to keep themselves from facing their shadows and a person who succeeds through unfair or unlawful means or who abandons themselves will greatly suffer in the grand scheme of things, even if they’re perceived as happy and successful. They say fame comes with a price…(loss of self, materialism, lack of privacy, mental and emotional turmoil, lack of autonomy, stalkers, enemies, substance abuse etc.)
This sort of goes back to what I said about the dangers of shadripus, what prevents you from achieving moksha (liberation) and how incredibly successful people struggle with it the most.
