Can Mel Gibson Salvage His Reputation?

Ever since Mel Gibson made his drunken racial rants in a 2006 DUI incident, his image took a hit. Yet his career remained intact. But more drama has unfolded with the accusations by ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva -- the mother of his 8-month old daughter -- who has accused him of abuse and is battling him for custody. Recently, the Russian-born pianist claims to have recordings of Gibson spewing more racial slurs in crazy tirades. While not confirmed, will all this bad press end to his career?

Despite public knowledge of his questionable character, the Oscar-winning actor-director still has a chance. With a Capricorn Sun and Cancer Rising, his career and home axis is currently activated, meaning he has lucky aspects and harsh influences that can play off one another. This gives him the ability to use accusations against him and turn it around, like playing the victim and reasoning out his anger. While he may never regain his once-likable reputation, he’ll still have enough fans willing to keep validating his career. So, as it stands, don’t say good-bye to Gibson quite yet.
