OJ Simpson: The Shadow of Narcissus

In her latest installment in the OJ series, author Eileen Grimes shines light into the dark side of narcissistic personality disorder. She makes the case that OJ's need-for-adulation shadow took over, and became a black hole that sucked the energy of everyone close to him. Anyone in his orbit had to agree to believe in the public image he is fiercely devoted to -- his personal assistant said that to OJ, Image is Everything.

His belief in his own myth gave him a dangerous sense of entitlement to do as he pleased. That shadow, as seen in this picture, has finally been contained through incarceration. This picture shows the cops acting as Saturn's boundaries, which natally resides in the realm of OJ's 12th House, the house of self-undoing, and confinement/prisons. If you don't integrate your shadow, and it gets dangerous, others have to contain it for you. But as Eileen writes, The shadow can be our weakest point, but in the end, can be the most powerful departure point into a new, more powerful existence.
