On May 29, 2026, Chief U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga reinstated the jury's defamation verdict against blogger Milagro Gramz and awarded Megan Thee Stallion $75,000, ruling that Gramz — paid by Tory Lanez and his father to post false claims about Megan's courtroom testimony — could not invoke the legal shield of an independent journalist. The earlier dismissal had hinged on a procedural technicality, the kind that lets a paid mouthpiece walk because the jury labeled her a media defendant. Altonaga's amended judgment cut through it: a commissioned agent isn't a journalist, and a chart-topping artist had to fight that distinction in federal court to keep a verdict she'd already won. Megan's Aquarius Sun and Aquarius Mercury read like the architectural fit for this moment — a chart whose communications layer is principled, fixed, and unusually public, sitting on a calendar where transiting Pluto is within a quarter-degree of that natal Mercury.

What the Court Ruled
The amended final judgment came out of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Megan sued Milagro Elizabeth Cooper — known online as Milagro Gramz — in 2024 over a stream of videos and posts that called her a liar in the criminal trial of Daystar Peterson, the rapper Tory Lanez, who'd been convicted in connection with the 2020 shooting of Megan. A jury found Gramz liable on three counts: defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and the promotion of an altered sexual depiction. Then the trial court dismissed the defamation count after the jury also classified Gramz as a 'media defendant,' a designation that legally required Megan to give pre-suit notice before filing. She hadn't. The verdict stood on the other two counts, but the headline-grabbing defamation finding went away — until now.
Altonaga's reinstatement rests on a specific finding. Court filings, reported by AllHipHop and corroborated by Rolling Stone and Billboard, show that Sonstar Peterson — Lanez's father — paid Gramz at least $2,500 to publish three of the defamatory statements at issue. As the judge wrote: 'Because the trial record shows that defendant was commissioned by the Petersons to publish or broadcast the three defamatory statements, the court finds as a matter of law that defendant was not entitled to pre-suit notice.' A commissioned agent isn't a journalist. The defamation count came back. The $75,000 award attached to it.
Megan's Aquarius Signature
Megan's natal Sun sits at 26° Aquarius. That's late in the sign, the part of Aquarius that's already absorbed the freedom-fighter energy and turned it into something more strategic, more public-facing. Her natal Mercury — the planet of speech, writing, and the way a person frames the record — sits earlier in the same sign at 5° Aquarius, and it's retrograde, the orbital appearance where Mercury looks like it's moving backward and the chart's communication style points inward, rehearses, drafts, revises before going public. An Aquarius Sun with an Aquarius Mercury is a double-down on the same wiring: principles before sentiment, the public record before the private feeling. We've read this Aquarius signature before in a different register, when she stepped into the Moulin Rouge Broadway run — same chart, different stage, same fixed conviction, different cost.
That signature comes with a cost the chart names directly. Megan's Sun stands in opposition to her Moon — the 180-degree aspect that puts two parts of a person in straight-line tension — at 29° Leo, just shy of the very last degree of the sign. Aquarius keeps emotional distance; Leo wants the room. Aquarius argues from principle; Leo performs from the body. The opposition isn't a flaw, it's the engine of a public artist who can write a courtroom statement like an essayist and own a stage like a torch singer in the same week. But it's the friction that shows up when an Aquarius-Mercury private fight has to become a Leo-Moon public courtroom moment — when the part of the chart wired for principled argument has to walk into a room that runs on performance and witness. Her Sun also sits in a tight square — the 90-degree aspect that reads as standing pressure — to natal Pluto at 0° Sagittarius. Pluto is the planet that wires power struggles into identity itself. The chart pattern that fits Megan is someone built for high-stakes public confrontations whose nervous system is shaped by them.
The Transit on Ruling Day
On May 29, 2026, transiting Pluto sat at 5°22' Aquarius — retrograde, moving slowly back through the same degree Megan's natal Mercury occupies. The two are within a quarter-degree of each other, a conjunction so tight that two planetary functions stop being two things and start being one thing. Pluto on Mercury reads as the slow, structural exposure of how the speech-and-writing layer of a chart actually works — what was commissioned and by whom, what was paid for, what the record will show when the surfaces get peeled back. This is descriptive timing, not predictive cause. The ruling itself turned on commissioning — on who paid whom to write what — and that's the language a Pluto-Mercury pairing speaks. The chart marks the axis. The court did the work.
Two other transits are running near-exact on the same date. Transiting Saturn at 12°08' Aries sits in a tight square to Megan's natal Venus at 12°22' Capricorn — Saturn is the structural-pressure planet, Venus is the values-and-worth placement, and the square is the same 90-degree pressure angle Megan has wired into her natal Sun-Pluto. Simultaneously, that same transiting Saturn forms a near-exact trine — the 120-degree easy-flow aspect — to Megan's natal Jupiter at 12°25' Sagittarius. A square and a trine from the same transiting planet, both within a quarter-degree on the same day, is unusual; it reads as structural pressure on what something is worth — including a $75,000 award — landing alongside a flow line toward recognition and formal legitimacy. The same Saturn-Jupiter timing window we tracked when Jaafar Jackson's sequel announcement landed is the kind of clock the chart keeps; the chart isn't causing any of it, it's just unusually legible about which axis it's keeping time on.
The Capricorn Concentration and Saturn in Pisces
Behind those active transits, Megan's chart carries a quiet weight in Capricorn. Venus at 12°, Neptune at 24°, and Uranus at 28° all sit in that sign — a three-planet concentration where the structural, the dissolving, and the disruptive all share a single address. Capricorn governs institutions, contracts, and long-arc reputation. With Venus there, the values layer is institutional: what something is worth gets measured against records, structures, durable standards. With Neptune and Uranus also there, the institutions in Megan's chart are simultaneously porous and electrified. Public reputation is the thing that gets dissolved and reconstituted, broken open and remade, often without warning. It's a chart wired for protracted institutional confrontations — and for the kind of court ruling whose substance is about who's allowed to claim the protections of which structure. That cluster is the part of the chart the body of work has been carrying all along, regardless of which legal calendar happens to be active.
Sitting opposite that Capricorn weight, alone in the water sign that flanks it, is natal Saturn at 12° Pisces. Saturn is the chart's reality-principle, and in Pisces it works through narrative — through what story the collective is willing to absorb and what story it dissolves. Megan's natal Jupiter at 12° Sagittarius is in a tight square to that Pisces Saturn, an old friction between the part of the chart that wants to expand the public story and the part that absorbs the institutional reality. Transiting Saturn pressing on her Capricorn Venus while flowing toward her Sagittarius Jupiter activates that same axis from outside. The chart isn't predicting the outcome; it's marking what's under strain in the structure when an artist has to litigate the narrative around her own testimony. The contradiction the chart names — between Aquarius principle and Pisces porousness — is the contradiction the legal story keeps externalizing in public.
What This Pattern Holds
The Aquarius-Pisces tension in Megan's signature is the part the legal story keeps pulling on. Aquarius fights on principle and keeps emotional distance from the fight; Saturn in Pisces absorbs the part the principle can't fully insulate — the collective story, the chatter, the texture of public perception that doesn't follow a syllogism. There's a cost to that combination, and it's not the one most readers would guess. The cost isn't that the principle fails. It's that the principle has to be carried in public, against people commissioned to dilute it, while the part of the chart that absorbs collective noise stays porous to all of it. Winning the verdict doesn't close that loop. Reinstating the verdict doesn't either. Another chart at a public legal pivot made a version of the same point in a different key — the chart marks the structure, the world supplies the events, and the person stands in the friction between.
Watch the Saturn transits through summer. Transiting Saturn is moving slowly enough that the 12° Aries degree will get worked over again before the year's stations close out, which means the square to her Capricorn Venus and the trine to her Sagittarius Jupiter both have more passes to make. Watch transiting Pluto's slow regression across 5° Aquarius, too — it's not done with the Mercury conjunction, and slow-moving Pluto rarely is after a single pass. None of this guarantees a particular outcome. The chart marks what's structurally live. The ruling, the appeal calendar, the public conversation about what counts as journalism and what counts as a paid mouthpiece — those play out in the world, and they play out on their own timeline. The chart is just unusually legible about which axis they're playing out on.

What is Megan Thee Stallion's zodiac sign?
Megan Thee Stallion was born February 15, 1995, in San Antonio, Texas, making her an Aquarius Sun at 26° of the sign. Her natal Mercury is also in Aquarius, retrograde, at 5° — a double Aquarius signature in the parts of the chart that govern identity and communication. Her Moon is in Leo at 29°.
Why was Megan Thee Stallion's defamation verdict reinstated?
On May 29, 2026, Chief U.S. District Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga reinstated the verdict and awarded Megan $75,000. The court found that blogger Milagro Gramz was commissioned by Tory Lanez and his father — paid at least $2,500 — to publish defamatory statements, which meant she was not entitled to media-defendant pre-suit notice protections.
Is Megan Thee Stallion's birth time publicly verified?
No verified birth time has been published by Megan or her family. Astro-Seek lists her chart without a confirmed time, which means our analysis uses a noon fallback. Sign placements like Sun, Moon, and Mercury, and the aspects between planets, remain reliable; time-dependent placements are not part of the published read.
What does transiting Pluto on a natal Mercury actually do over time?
Pluto moves about a degree every year and a half, so a Pluto-Mercury conjunction is a multi-year passage, not a single event. Descriptively, it tracks moments when the speech and record layer of a chart gets exposed and restructured — what was said, who said it, what it cost. The angle marks timing; it doesn't dictate outcomes.
What's the difference between a defamation verdict and a defamation judgment?
A jury delivers a verdict — a finding of liability or fault after trial. A judgment is the court's formal order that follows, fixing damages and the legal consequences. In Megan's case, the jury's defamation verdict was reinstated by the judge in an amended judgment, which is what unlocks the $75,000 award and the binding court order.
