Trigger warning: this article discusses a fatal road incident.
It is written with empathy for everyone affected. A young man has lost his life and families are grieving. Our thoughts remain with them.

This piece is an astrological case study, not a judgment or prediction of guilt. We believe in a fair trial and in the right of every person to due process. Astrology here is being used only to explore timing, energy, and the wider themes of midlife transits. The planets do not condemn. They mirror lessons that guide us toward our highest good.

Who is Ghetts?

Ghetts, whose real name is Justin Clarke Samuel, was born on 9 October 1984 in London. He is one of the UK’s most respected rappers and an actor whose storytelling and delivery have shaped British music for over two decades. In 2024 he appeared in the Netflix film Supacell, which spent weeks at number one and marked a confident step into screen work.

At the height of this success, tragedy struck. On 18 October 2025, Ghetts was allegedly involved in a fatal collision in Ilford, in greater London UK and has since been remanded in custody. The legal case continues, and the outcome remains for the courts to decide. From an astrological point of view, this moment coincides with several intense transits that represent shock, karmic reckoning, and transformation.

The Libra Sun and Mercury Conjunction

Ghetts has both the Sun and Mercury in Libra, the sign of balance, fairness, and image. This combination is typical of writers, poets, and lyricists whose identity is fused with the power of words. It explains why his artistry has always centred around truth-telling and social reflection.

Right now, the asteroid Karma is moving across this exact area of his chart, highlighting accountability. Years ago, Ghetts released a track where he referenced speeding and said that if he ever hit someone, he would not stop. Those lyrics have resurfaced with uncomfortable accuracy. Astrology shows that when Karma meets Mercury and the Sun, words and actions often return for resolution. Libra insists that balance be restored, whether that happens publicly or privately.

Born on a Full Moon

Ghetts was born during a Full Moon with his Libra Sun opposite an Aries Moon and square Mars in Capricorn. That alignment gives a strong will and fierce drive, but also emotional impulsiveness. It is the mark of a performer who thrives on tension and intensity. The missing element of this configuration is Cancer, the sign of empathy and nurture. It suggests that life repeatedly teaches him to reconnect with compassion whenever ego or pride takes the lead.

The Transits on 18 October 2025

The day of the crash carried a rare combination of energies. Karma was moving over his Sun and Mercury in Libra, while Mercury and Mars in Scorpio were pressing on his natal Saturn and Venus. The Sun itself was sitting on his natal Karma, shining a light on themes of justice and consequence.

At the same time, Transit Uranus had just entered Gemini and was opposing his natal North Node at 28 degrees Taurus. Uranus brings shock, upheaval, and sudden change, and when it touches the natal North Node it can abruptly shift the course of one’s destiny. Transit Pluto in early Aquarius was squaring his natal Pluto in Scorpio, intensifying the sense of exposure and forcing transformation. Transit Saturn and Transit Neptune were both retrograde in Pisces, symbolising surrender, consequence, and the dissolving of old identities.

Together these describe a moment where life turned completely on its head. They are the classic markers of karmic realignment.

Pisces Rising? and the Power of Sensitivity

If Ghetts is Pisces rising (no birth time currently available), his chart makes even more sense. Pisces rising gives natural musicality, sensitivity, and a fluid emotional presence that audiences connect with. Transit Uranus in Gemini would then fall on the cusp of his fourth house, symbolising disruption to home life and foundations. Transit Pluto in Aquarius would be moving through the twelfth house, which rules isolation, confinement, and psychological reckoning.

Transit Saturn and Neptune hovering around his Pisces Ascendant reflect confusion over identity and public perception. This combination can strip away illusion and force humility. It mirrors what happens when fame collides with consequence.

The Court Date Astrology

On 24 November 2025, the day of his next hearing, Transit Mars will be in Sagittarius at 14 degrees, sitting directly on his natal Uranus and opposite his natal Chiron in Gemini. Mars conjunct Uranus is volatile and decisive. It often marks sudden developments or moments of release. The opposition to Chiron indicates pain and confrontation with truth. Because Ghetts’ Moon is ruled by Aries, emotions may be heightened and raw around this time.

Transit Saturn stations direct in Pisces early November, symbolising the re-emergence of accountability after months of uncertainty. It is often when decisions are finalised or responsibility is formally recognised.

The Icarus Return

An additional layer comes from asteroid Icarus, which represents risk, ambition, and downfall. Ghetts’ natal Icarus is in Capricorn, closely aligned with Jupiter and Mars. As of November 2025, Icarus will have returned to that same point. Mythically, Icarus flew too close to the Sun and fell when his wings melted. In astrology, the Icarus return can bring events that pull us back to earth after reaching too high or moving too fast.

Because his Icarus forms a tense pattern with his Sun and Moon, the missing energy again lies in Cancer. Compassion, family, and emotion are the balancing forces that can heal this pattern if consciously embraced.

The Libra Scales of Justice

The Libra Sun in mid-October 2025 was highlighting Ghetts’ own Libra placements, while the Moon in Aries earlier that month had already activated his Full Moon polarity. This created heightened visibility and emotional tension, the same themes we normally associate with eclipses but without the eclipse itself. It marked a point of reckoning for someone born on a Full Moon, making hidden issues visible and forcing balance to be restored.

The Twelfth-House Pluto Transit

Transit Pluto’s recent move into Aquarius signals a long phase of self-confrontation. If his twelfth house begins in Aquarius, Pluto’s passage there may feel like a retreat from public life or a deep internal transformation that lasts years. Twelfth-house Pluto often coincides with therapy, solitude, or imprisonment, but its purpose is purification rather than punishment. It forces honesty with oneself and eventually grants wisdom through endurance.

A Wider Lesson on Responsibility

This tragedy is a stark reminder that one decision behind the wheel can alter countless lives. If you have been drinking, please do not drive. If you are unfit to drive, call a friend, taxi, or rideshare.

Final Thoughts

Astrology does not dictate events. It mirrors the cycles that shape human experience. Ghetts’ current transits reflect a time of karmic consequence and potential rebirth. They show how the same forces that elevate a person can also humble them when balance is lost.

This is not about predicting guilt or doom. It is about understanding that the universe always seeks alignment. Midlife transits such as Uranus oppositions and Pluto squares can be turbulent, but they invite us to evolve. For Ghetts, this is a period of reckoning, and in time it may become the turning point that reshapes his life and art.
