The Weirdness of Human Nature
Even Vogue swooned over her"silent movie star face", the chic red lipstick, her stylish suits. Everyone who is anyone is a Phoebe fan these days. “Funny” melts the hardest heart, and let's face it, Phoebe is hilarious. Perhaps she learned how to be a joker when she attended Catholic school, and cottoned on to the weirdness of human nature, A London Born, Cancer Sign Golden Girl, Phoebe Waller-Bridge's “laugh a minute” irreverence “smashed through the comedy landscape like a bull in a china shop” according to Oprah. Oprah magazine also insisted “...She is only on the precipice of her career." She has leaped over that precipice now Ms O with the help of a witty Moon in Gemini, making us cry with mirth at her apt depictions of the female condition.

Side Splitting
The multifariously talented Phoebe, certainly enjoys a fit of the giggles. She probably split her sides laughing when creating "Killing Eve", and when offered the job of writing some of the “No Time to Die” James Bond script she probably could not pick herself off the floor. She told the BBC she“spiced up” the story line. She also spiced up "Killing Eve" the crime biopic that had us glued to our screens, and will continue to so. This girl will “spice up” anything given a chance. During her recent Golden Globe acceptance speech for Amazon's “Fleabag” a sad, dark, very funny series about the foibles of modern sex and platonic love, she happened to crack an Obama joke. Well, one would not expect anything less from the latest “L'Enfant Terrible” of show biz. Blame her moon in Gemini for all that jazz. Gemini moon folks are often side splitting-ly witty; in fact “Style and irony” are the operative words when it comes to this gal's "Silver Lady" repartee.
Sensitive
During her interview with US comedy legend Tina Fey, pretty and impressed Phoebe admitted how sensitive she felt when she first leapt into the deep end of that “Actor-Show-Creator-Script Writing” profession. Her need to kick against a top draw thespian training, as in playing out her preposterous dark humour, is typical of a joker. She continues to shock “ The Disgruntled of Tunbridge Wells” Brigade. The rest of the human race are rolling in the aisles. Her "Fleabag" role was revolutionary. Yet she told Oprah Magazine she felt the character was done; her fans might beg to differ.
They will miss identifying with the sexually confused London girl doing her best as she deals with a buddy's tragic suicide and her consistently "off the wall" existence. She gave fans hope however when she went on to tell Oprah Mag “I do have a fantasy of bringing her back when I’m, like, 45 or 50. She went on the biggest journey over the past two seasons, and she started as someone who sort of hated herself and ended up as someone believing that she could love again and forgive herself. I have to respect that arc and let her go and live for a bit”.
Digging Deep
“Letting go and living” without all that is “Fleabag” will not get full on support from her astro combo either. Her droll yet conflictual view of life is a karmic “raison d'etre” for many . She has long tuned into the stark truths of human nature and will probably continue to giggle at the wackiness of your average homo sapiens. Instinctive, passionate, able to conceptualise at the “drop of a hat”, she believes honesty is the best policy when exposing our complexes and hypocrisies, in fact she would probably curl into ball on the floor if she could not continue to express her hilarious takes on existence.
Risque Repartee
Blame Leo in Mercury for her comedic grandeur and risque repartee. Then again, perhaps four letter words are easier to use if your DNA includes a bit of “Blue” blood. “Larger than life” relatives include “Sir John Edward Longueville Clerke, 12th Baronet of Hitcham, on her mother’s side and Sir Egerton Leigh, the Member of Parliament for Mid Cheshire, on her father’s”. Leo in Mercury adds to her grandeur, her thespian passion, that creative verve. Her soul must be consistently aflame with ideas, needing a stage to let rip on. Original never mundane, she holds the spotlight with confidence. Blame Mercury in Leo yet again, for that “OTT-ness”; for her eccentric flourishes her generous friendships. Never boring, she will only cease to be a true “L'Enfant Terrible” when she grows into a fully fledged “British Treasure!” And you can bet that is not far off!
