Wesley Snipes - Tax Dodger - Guilty as Charged

Wesley Snipes—Tax Dodger—Guilty as Charged: Let’s take a closer look. Wesley Snipes was born July 31, 1962 in Orlando, Florida (no time).

With no birth time I don’t know Snipes’ Rising Sign (Ascendant), but what I do know paints a dark enough picture of someone who is so arrogant that he thought he could get away with not paying taxes. Among other things, he has Sun, North Node, Moon, Mercury and Uranus in Leo, squared by Neptune in Scorpio and opposed by Saturn in Aquarius. This profile, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, tells me that he is not only an actor, but a self and self-centered one who thinks that he can do exactly what he wants to do when he wants to do it—and I am not just talking about not paying taxes like the rest of us poor people who are not in movies.

Wesley Snipes is a churlish L’Enfant terrible to the core—a narcissist with little regard for anyone but himself. He had all the Big Wigs from Hollywood like Denzel Washington and Woody Harrelson (talk about your renegade outlaw—this rec should get him more time for bad association) and a ton of others from the movie industry write letters to try to get the judge to go soft on his tax evasion charges. It backfired. Yesterday (April 24, 2008) the verdict came down: three years—the maximum under federal guidelines. Since it was a federal indictment, Snipes will serve every day of the sentence. Before you get all verklempt on me, know that he did not pay taxes for six years and tried to plead some cockamamie defense like the marginal dudes and their molls living on the fringe of civilization do. What was Denzel Washington thinking? (What was Oprah thinking when she invited Tom Cruise back on her show—more sofa stomping and whooping and a-hollering about Katie or Scientology? Oprah, Om your way back onto Eckhart Tolle’s New Earth!)

Highly afflicted in other parts of his personal zodiac, Wesley has Venus in Virgo oppose Jupiter in Pisces both squared by Mars in Gemini. These ‘bickering Bickerson’-type rough astrological neighbors tell me that he has a lot of problems with personal relationships and deludes himself about who he really is. He once played Noxeema Jackson, a sassy snap drag queen in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, for which his birth chart underscores his innate ability to pull of with believability.

Will he get off on appeal? Not a chance. His progressed Venus in Scorpio square all those early degree planets sealed his fate. Noxeema Jackson will be close to 50 years-old when she, I mean he, gets out of the joint.

Do I think you should send him cakes and cookies so he can eat while he waits to get out of the clink? Hello, no. Pay your taxes on time or you will find yourself bunking in with Ms. Jackson!
