A civil suit filed June 9, 2026 in Los Angeles Superior Court names John Doe, identified as a former child actor, as the plaintiff alleging Sean 'Diddy' Combs sexually assaulted him at a 2007 Hollywood Hills networking event. Combs' natal chart describes the temperament that keeps arriving at moments like this, not the reason why they happen. A Scorpio Sun at 12° anchors a fixed water-sign signature of intensity routed through privacy, of strategic disclosure over open speech, of a refusal to yield that reads as power when it builds and as risk when it cannot adjust.

What's Happening
The lawsuit, first reported by TMZ on June 9 and covered by ABC News, is one of dozens of civil claims filed against Combs since his September 2024 federal arrest. Doe's complaint alleges Combs invited him to a private room under the pretext of discussing career opportunities, offered him alcohol, and assaulted him at a Hollywood Hills residence. Combs' representative Juda Engelmayer publicly denied the allegations, calling them 'false and ridiculous.' The criminal case that preceded this civil flurry ended in July 2025 with a federal conviction on two counts of transportation for prostitution under the Mann Act; the jury acquitted on the racketeering and sex trafficking counts. Combs was sentenced October 3, 2025 to four years and two months in federal prison and is currently held in New Jersey, with a scheduled release in April 2028. A federal appeals court raised questions about the severity of that sentence during oral arguments in April 2026, and the appeal remains pending as of this filing. Rachel Nickell's recent chart read worked in the same descriptive register that this one is built to honor: portrait, not verdict.
The Natal Chart
Combs was born in Harlem on November 4, 1969. The Sun sits at 12° Scorpio, with Mercury at 4° Scorpio and Neptune at 27° Scorpio. Three planets concentrated in one sign is what astrologers call a stellium: a compounding that turns a sign's themes from a tendency into something closer to an operating system. Scorpio's operating logic is intensity routed through privacy. The temperament prefers strategic disclosure over open speech, reads other people's vulnerabilities long before it reveals its own, and experiences exposure as a kind of injury. That read carries a tax. The same fixed-sign refusal to yield that built an entertainment empire makes self-correction feel like a kind of surrender, and the same concealment instinct that protects creative leverage in business protects everything else, including conduct that would otherwise be checked by witnesses. Intensity has a cost. The cost is currently public.
The tightest aspect in the chart is Mercury at 4°58' Scorpio opposed by Saturn retrograde at 4°55' Taurus, near-exact and effectively in lock-step. An opposition is the 180-degree aspect: two planets facing each other across the zodiac, generating a built-in tension that has to be negotiated for life rather than resolved once. With Mercury, the planet of speech and information, opposed to Saturn, the planet of authority, consequence, and what gets withheld, the configuration describes a mind operating under constant pressure from rules, deadlines, and reputational weight. What is communicated is always shaped by what is withheld. Speech is strategic by default. Saturn retrograde adds an internal dimension to that authority: the most punishing voice in the room is usually his own internal one, which is part of why external structures land with such force whenever they finally arrive. Wynonna Judd's recent T-square shows the same kind of three-planet collision in a much gentler key. Strategic silence has a ceiling.
Mars sits at 29°56' Capricorn, the anaretic degree: the final degree of a sign, the critical edge where a planet's energy compresses before crossing into the next sign. Mars in Capricorn already describes ambition routed through structure: executive discipline, the willingness to do the unpleasant work first, control of timing as a competitive weapon. At the anaretic, that discipline carries a finality. There is no patience left for ambiguity by the time Mars hits 29°56'; the action is taken, and the consequences are sorted afterward. Mars also forms a building square to Saturn from this position, a friction aspect that names a lifelong tension between drive and restriction, between executing a plan and getting blocked by the parts of reality one cannot control. Some charts grind that tension into competence and some grind it into collision. Discipline at the edge cuts both ways.
The Transit Picture
Transit Pluto, currently moving retrograde at 5°13' Aquarius, is squaring Combs' natal Mercury within a quarter of a degree. It is also near-exact in its square to natal Saturn, both squares effectively at their closest passage. That means transit Pluto is activating the natal Mercury-Saturn opposition by forming a T-square: a three-planet configuration where one planet (Pluto) sits at the apex of two opposing planets (Mercury and Saturn) and forces a confrontation neither end could escape on its own. A square is the 90-degree friction aspect; Pluto's signature is exposure, dismantling, and what gets surfaced once nothing can be buried any longer. The configuration describes a period when everything historically withheld in speech meets the full weight of external structural pressure, and when the fixed-sign refusal to yield finds it has nowhere left to hold. It does not name a verdict. It does not predict an outcome. It describes the climate.
The slower transits add background pressure rather than dominating. Transit Neptune at 4° Aries forms a wide opposition to natal Uranus in Libra, an aspect that often coincides with public narratives becoming hard to read clearly from the outside. Transit Jupiter in Cancer trines natal Neptune in Scorpio, which in a legal context tends to amplify the volume around a case rather than improve its facts. Transit Mars in Taurus opposes natal Sun in an applying, building friction that times one of the public news cycles around the pending appeal. None of these is the headline. The headline is the Pluto T-square running near-exact.
What This Means
The Scorpio stellium and the Mercury-Saturn opposition together describe a temperament built for navigating power, secrecy, and consequence with extreme proficiency. That same temperament has a structural blind spot: the parts of itself it has practiced not naming. Pluto's transit through this configuration is doing the work of naming. The function of Pluto transits, historically, is to surface what was previously protected by silence, by status, or by the careful management of information. The civil suit filed June 9 is one of dozens that have arrived since the September 2024 federal arrest. The chart does not say whether the allegations are accurate; that determination belongs to courts and to a jury, not to astrology. What the chart describes is a year in which the gap between what has been said and what has been withheld is being closed by something outside the subject's control. Nicholas Galitzine's biopic-driven chart read worked the same descriptive seam from the opposite side of the table. The verdict is not the chart's job.
The Mercury-Saturn opposition was always going to meet Pluto eventually. Pluto's orbital period brings this kind of slow-square activation around once in a lifetime, typically in the early-to-mid fifties, and Combs is 56 during the exact passes. There is no causal claim available here: the chart did not produce the lawsuits, the public did, and the courts will determine what is true. The chart is descriptive: a portrait of the temperament that keeps walking into rooms like this, not the reason the rooms exist or what happens once the doors close. For readers who follow these stories with one eye on the sky, this is the configuration that fits the year. The geometry was visible in 1969. The news cycle caught up in 2026. That is what the chart describes.

What is Sean 'Diddy' Combs' zodiac sign and Sun degree?
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a Scorpio, with his Sun at 12° Scorpio. His chart also includes Mercury at 4° Scorpio and Neptune at 27° Scorpio, forming a three-planet Scorpio stellium that compounds the sign's themes of intensity, privacy, and strategic disclosure into a dominant chart signature.
When was the new lawsuit against Sean Combs filed?
The civil lawsuit was filed June 9, 2026 in Los Angeles Superior Court. The plaintiff, identified as John Doe and described as a former child actor, alleges Combs assaulted him in 2007 at a Hollywood Hills networking event. Combs' representative has publicly denied the allegations.
What does Mercury opposite Saturn mean in a natal chart?
An opposition between Mercury and Saturn describes a mind that operates under the constant pressure of authority and consequence. Speech is strategic by default; what is communicated is always shaped by what is withheld. The tighter the orb, the more the tension defines daily behavior and decision-making.
What is the anaretic degree, and why does it matter for Mars?
The anaretic degree is the final degree of a sign, from 29°00' to 29°59'. Planets there carry compressed urgency on the threshold of change. Mars at the anaretic Capricorn degree describes a discipline that has run out of patience for ambiguity by the time it acts.
How long does a transit Pluto square last in real time?
Outer-planet squares typically last 18 to 24 months across multiple exact passes, because Pluto stations and retrogrades before clearing the orb. The current Pluto square to natal Mercury and Saturn is one passage in that arc, with the configuration remaining active across most of 2026.
