Jeremy Kyle is a chat show presenter in England. I used to listen to him quite a few years ago on Jezza’s confessions. I had split up with my boyfriend at that time and was living in a 2 bedroom house alone, and the radio at night always helped me fall to sleep. I enjoyed listening to the various problems of the callers, but it was Jeremy Kyle’s particular, opinionated style of answers that proved to be compelling. The host often deeply sympathises with people, but at the same time he is realistic and offers a blunt and straight answer to their dilemma. In Late 2007, the radio personality was signed up and commissioned to do a talk show on ITV, called the Jeremy Kyle Show; it replaced Trisha Goddard, after disputes over pay. The new format of the show with a male presenter was an instant hit with viewers. However, it was his blunt confrontations with guests that spurred the show to big success in the U.K. Morning talk shows mostly draw in female viewers at home with children. I also think that the show attracts male viewers too because of its new style. Kyle also writes for a woman’s magazine offering the same brand of straightforward advice to his followers.
Astrologically Jeremy is a Cancerian, and there is usually an interest in the past and powerful need for emotional interaction with others. At university he studied History and sociology and was also drawn to media pursuits. Cancerians can be ambitious, they share the same polarity as goal-setting Capricorn, and sometimes both signs tend not reveal their goals until success is assured. Above all, Cancer needs to work in a field where there is plenty of human contact, and where he lives out his deep sense of traditional values and preserves family and community.
The Sun is part of a Grand Water Trine with Chiron, Saturn and Neptune. Many times Water Grand Trines are empathetic, sensitive, compassionate and healing people. However, Kyle has suffered from gambling addiction for years and he cleverly disguised his addiction and the amount of money that he was spending on his habit. Water trines are highly creative, emotionally sufficient, and often interested in psychology and healing techniques. Water Grand Trines also need escapism, protection, fusion, and they may withdraw emotionally. The trine involving Neptune suggests openness to the collective unconscious and sensitivity to feeling. The Saturn-Chiron conjunction in Pisces is only too aware of the flaws in human nature and it can create defensiveness, wounding and disappointment in emotional expectations. There is deep disillusionment and helplessness in the face of human misery. With such realism and wounding represented in Pisces, it appears that Kyle takes some of the emotional burden and responsibility for clearing up the mess (Pisces). With Chiron involved there may be the desire to cure (Chiron) the poison and ills of the world. The mythic image of Pisces is the redeemer who is also the victim. I am painting quite a fun picture of Kyle. I think you can see these elements in his personality quite clearly in his own fight against addiction and this ongoing struggle dealing with everyday people in similar messes.
Mars is in Libra, which is the most diplomatic place to be. On the show he does say phrases like: “to be fair” and “let’s get two sides of the story, before we judge” or “lets balance this situation out“. Mars in Libra is civilised and fair; it works best when actively involved with others. Kyle is not afraid of confrontation and has a quite a few battles on the show. Mars in Libra will battle over perceived injustice, and fight on behalf of others, which we do see regularly on the programme. Kyle’s goals are to “air” issues out, force co-operation and find a peaceful solution (Libra). His bluntness in speech and moralistic/judgemental approach in conversation is signified by his South Node in Sagittarius opposite his Jupiter and North Node in Gemini. Sagittarius is famous for its bluntness and coupled with Jupiter in Gemini (verbal) he needs intellectual challenge and needs to communicate knowledge to others. Debating ideas, media, writing and publishing (Jupiter in Gemini) are all things that he does quite naturally. The highest aspiration for Jupiter in Gemini is his mental exploration in life. He is a great communicator and always has something to say, and the Gemini-Sagittarius axis is not short of opinions!
