I have to admit I didn’t know much about what was happening here until fairly recently… I am a big nerd in my mid thirties, and my interest in celebrity culture begins and ends with my nostalgia years. However, my interest was piqued in discussion with others, who stated that these two consider one another “twin flames”.
I am not a fan of the whole concept- mainly because of the toxicity I have seen associated with it. I do understand feeling like someone is the other half of your soul and feeling so intertwined and shattered by them that no adequate words for the experience exist. This, to me, is the material point.
Twin flames, soulmates etc are just human concepts trying to make sense of something that can only be grasped by a higher state of consciousness than the one currently experiencing such a connexion. If we stay wedded to these concepts, we stay in a mind space that is smaller than the one we need to grow towards. Also- please don’t get me started on the various psychics and astrologers who pander to the concept and sell more and more control to desperate individuals who have become like junkies trying to control the outcome with their beloved- because that is just intensely wrong.
It seems quite cringy to me, as well. Maybe it is just my detached Aquarius energy speaking, but I always get visions of someone who can’t cope with reality, crying into their unicorn onesie with a joint in hand, hatching up love spells to get them back together with the guy that ghosted them- when I think about “twin flames”. There’s definitely always large amounts of Neptune and Pluto energy in synastry between self-styled “twin flames”, which in its lower vibration presents as control issues and delusional thinking.
So what exactly is going down between these two people? Let us look first at the individual charts- starting first with Megan Fox.
Fox is, as you can see, a fourth house Taurus Sun with her Moon in Leo, Capricorn rising and Mars on the ascendant.
That fourth house Taurus Sun is very feminine and well-grounded, loving the comforts of home and everything that is stable and normal. She has Jupiter in Pisces in the second house- which is in an intercepted sign, but nevertheless blesses that Taurus sun and Mercury in sextile. This is someone destined to wealth, something that many Taureans crave. However, I also note a T-square to this same Jupiter, as well as South Node and Pluto in the ninth house in Libra. This Venusian craving for comfort and stability may come at quite the price for Fox- the tendency to be overly reliant on partnership and hostile to other views on life and way to experience existence is there. This is someone who needs to be shocked out of her ruts from time to time.
Her Moon in the seventh house in Leo squares Pluto (with a wide orb), squares Mercury, trines Uranus and Saturn, and sextiles Chiron and Venus. This is someone who “loves love”, and has a tendency to both vacillate and demand subservience from others in her partnerships. Venus in Gemini in the fifth house is a blessing for her although it opposes Uranus, for it will absolutely give her that taste for challenging and unique experiences that break the fixed mould she can unfortunately be trapped in. Fox likes to consider herself a rational person- her Mercury is the closest planet to her Sun- and also a strong, courageous one as Mars is the only other planet aspecting her Sun. Both of these planets rule her North Node, so when Fox follows her ego desires as opposed to her conditioning and her patterns, she is likely to break into experiences that give her a lot of needed growth- despite her need for comfort.
Let us return to Mars in Capricorn on the ascendant, trine Mercury and the Sun. Sex is very important to this person, sex and status. When I look to the tenth house, it is ruled by Scorpio, and Pluto sits close to it in the 9th- conjunct that Libra south node. This person will have to watch out for her tendency to be controlling, to cage others and to domineer over them for her own gain and satisfaction. She needs to trust herself more in this incarnation, and be satisfied to be her own person.
Now to look at Machine Gun Kelly’s chart:
Here we have another Taurus Sun, in this case a highly Neptunian one. He has both Sun and Mercury in the twelth house, a Pisces Moon, Pisces Venus, Pisces Mars- and Neptune in the eighth house trine his Mercury in Taurus. Whereas Megan Fox is somewhat Neptunian, with her Jupiter in Pisces and Neptune in the 12th house- Kelly is infinitely more so.
An individual with this much Neptune faces a unique set of challenges, while possessing incredible gifts as well. Reality does not mean much to these people, which gives them the ability to move past barriers that many ordinary people would get stuck at.
I am seeing an *enormous* lust for money in this chart- Pisces represents the fish, the cash flow coming and going. Taurus can be notoriously keen on its gold as well, and Pluto trine Venus in the natal chart is often obsessed with gain. Jupiter conjunct Chiron in Cancer in the second house opposite Uranus, Saturn and Neptune in Capricorn the eighth might as well have drooling dollar signs drawn in glitter all over it- and that draws this person into a pit of pain.
Similarly to Fox, Kelly has Mars in close aspect to his Sun- his 12th house Sun in Taurus sextiles his Mars in Pisces in the 10th house. This draws me to his eighth house Saturn, which squares his 12th house Sun. There is indeed heavy karma here from past lives, which affects his ability to bond with others on a meaningful level. Something is definitely going to be unusual about his sexuality- I believe he is fairly open around his kink, but indeed he may have more interest in money and control than in sex itself.
His Pisces Moon is fairly level-headed for a Pisces Moon as it is in the eleventh house, with an exact sextile to Saturn and a sextile to Mercury in the 12th house. With his North Node in Aquarius in the 9th house, the key to his growth as a soul is the detached observation of thoughts, feelings and emotions as they arise in connexion to his intimate unions. He needs to discover where he begins and others end, to explore boundaries and his sense of self as a human being.
I think this is a person who can definitely lack honesty, which is a cause for concern. South Node in Leo in the third house has a tremendous need to be admired and respected, and it may not be particularly scrupulous about how it gains that admiration and respect, especially with Mercury in the 12th house. The truth may be an inconvenient obstacle for this person, but in order to acheive the soul’s growth, they have to look to that Chiron and Jupiter in the second and North Node in Aquarius in the 9th and establish themselves as very much their own person, with their own boundaries, wealth, and way of doing things. A tendency to gloss over fact and play games for applause will stand in the way of this.
Just by looking at their individual charts before looking at the synastry, I can already draw significance from both of their Jupiters being in the second house, and one’s North Node being in the ninth house while the other has North Node in the third. Definitely, they have a lot to teach one another around rationality and spirituality, truth and fiction- in regards to gaining an established sense of self, an idea of who they both are. Certainly, discussing the whole twin flame thing between themselves will be helpful for their awakening as individuals.
Now to look at the synastry:
Right off the bat, the fabulous thing for both of them is their Mercuries. They are conjunct, and MGK has his ascendant and South Node ruled by Mercury. Fox has her north node ruled by Mercury. Strong Mercury placements in synastry can help a lot of troublesome aspects along, while providing a perfect basis for both to learn more and more from one another. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun- it forms a large basis around how we connect as human beings.
This, of course, is further developed by the Jupiter aspects in the synastry as well. Fox inserts her Jupiter into MGK’s Pluto-Venus trine, bringing wealth, joy and abundance into his life. This is a couple who genuinely enjoy one another’s presence, and find value in exploring philosophical concepts togerther- especially with her Jupiter sextiling their conjunct Mercuries. Again, this helps them both explore their nodal axis.
We have a very obvious past-life indicator in this chart, with Fox’s Moon conjunct MCK’s South Node. This is often seen in dynamics where the Moon was the South Node’s mother in a past life, and this Moon person will hold extremely tight to the South Node- trying to mother them one more time. But in this life, the South Node person does need to move on from what can sometimes be suffocating for their growth. This to me is extremely telling, especially as MCK has his Jupiter and Chiron in Cancer in the second house. The mother to him is all wealth and faith, but all that is pain connected to his Taurean ego identity as well. His eighth house Saturn squaring his Taurus Sun is something he obviously needs to come to terms with through this dynamic- perhaps accepting the input of an older woman with a strong eleventh house Saturn who pushes him to his Aquarius North Node… Her Saturn is unaspected in the synastry, however, which gives me pause as regards the longevity of this union.
MCK does enter into an internal dymamic for Fox that has always been painful for her, his Mercury squaring her Moon as well as hers and his Pluto squaring her Moon much closer than hers does. This is all very lunar, all connected to her and that South Node, and games of emotional hurt between the couple are liable to form a toxic and familiar bond that jepoardise their ability to move forward in a positive direction. Moons are a problem in this synastry altogether, as they are in inconjunct signs and not in aspect with one another- indeed, neither receive friendly aspects, except for the Pisces Moon sextile Megan’s Taurus Sun.
Their Venuses are not in friendly signs, although the overlays are positive and indicate a wish to build a strong foundation with one another- very important to Taurus. Fox’s carefree fifth house Gemini Venus is attractive to MCK’s Leo South Node, but threatens his sensitive Pisces Moon. Fox’s strong 11th house Uranus squares that very same Venus, indicating the possibility of a sudden end and beginning to the union, especially when given the probelmatic Moons and Venuses.
Pluto trine Mars is what one would call an absolutely fantastic sexual aspect. This has got to get both of these Tauruses very much raging for one another in that respect. Mars and Venus are both in sextile, as well. What is interesting is that the woman’s chart takes the lead in both of these aspects- Fox is Pluto in the Pluto-Mars trine, and Mars in the Mars-Venus sextile. She is very much the aggressor in this relationship.
As far as Neptune aspects go, I was truly expecting to see more- but a Sun-Neptune trine is still highly significant, as well as the Jupiter-Neptune opposition. MCK idealises Fox beyond all belief- even though he can be cold to her, with his Saturn in Capricorn in her ascendant and conjunct her Mars. With her Uranus square his Moon, he has visions of her as well. I believe I can confidently say that for her it’s more about the sex, for him it’s all about the mystical hoopla he can dream up in connexion to it. He is more the romantic, escapist type than she is. Although his Saturn trines her Sun, which is highly supportive, he can be restrictive towards her individual personality, when she makes him feel threatened.
Finally, his Sun in Taurus is conjunct her North Node in Aries. This is an amazing aspect that will help her move towards asserting her own unique ego identity more and more- he has a lot to teach her about this, with his own South Node in Leo! In order for her to do this, however, she needs to address what goes on with her own emotional problems- and unfortunately he tends to join in in exarcerbating them. I think, therefore, that this aspect is more about his inadvertently helping her to shine- than otherwise.
I believe that this is the chart of a powerful relationship that these two need for their spiritual growth in this lifetime, for their exploration of new ideas that challenge them to develop their individual sense of self and ideals. I don’t see them as particularly compatible deep down, and I am doubtful that it will be “happier ever after” for either of them- the Uranus square and the Sun-NN conjunction out of sign to me seem to point towards something else further down the track, new and better possiblities for them both. It will be extremely interesting to see this unfold as time goes on, and I myself will be watching closely. We all live and learn, and I for one am glad of the fact!
