June 23, 1927. Bob Fosse was a once-in-a-generation visionary in the world of theatre, dance and, of course, film. After nearly sweeping the 1973 Oscars with his kinetic, disorienting depiction of 1931 Berlin in "Cabaret," Fosse’s filmography has gone mostly overlooked in modern takes on the New Hollywood era. With that, we’re so excited to discuss two of our favourite Fosse’s - 1972’s "Cabaret" and 1979’s "All That Jazz" - in relation to his astrological chart.
Fosse's chart action surrounds the signs of Aries and Leo, both masculine fire signs, exhibiting qualities like passion, creativity and extroversion. Leo often symbolizes the dramatic, confident lion - a true showman built for entertainment. In contrast, his chart also displays lots of Cancer. As a feminine water sign ruled by the Moon, Cancer suggests a deep intuition and a sensitive, emotional nature.
Tumultuous, contradictory and self-reflexive, Bob Fosse's chart and films contain all that and more.
