Astrological Connection: Perry, Musk & Moore - by Loda Shaw

What links acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, and famed astrologer Marcia Moore? Beyond their public prominence, all three have had experiences with ketamine—a substance that has increasingly become part of conversations about therapy and altered consciousness in the United States.

The Astrological Lens: Personality, Motivation, and Substance Use Astrology offers a symbolic language that connects planetary cycles with deep inner motives. By examining the birth charts of Perry, Musk, and Moore, we can seek subtle clues about what might have drawn each to experiment with ketamine, whether for healing or exploration.

Astrologically, with the current transits of Saturn (representing discipline, boundaries, and reality), while transiting Neptune (dissolves boundaries and encourages spiritual or escapist journeys) moving from Aries back into Pisces, these collective energies provoke reflection on themes of healing, addiction, and the search for meaning—apt symbols for both the promise and peril of substances like ketamine.
Join astrologer Loda Shaw in this exploration of what motivated prominent individuals to use the drug ketamine.
