Is Martha Stewart Heading into Hot Water Again?

Martha is in the news again for being naughty. This time, Macy’s is saying she is breaching her exclusive contract with them by signing a deal with JC Penny. Defending herself despite precarious times in her company, will Martha come out of this on top?

Martha is a Leo with a Scorpio Rising, which makes her very PR-savvy. Powerfully serious Saturn is not on her side right now, as it’s testing her natal First House (identity) and her solar Fourth House (security). She’s going to have an uphill climb to defend her reputation. Luckily, there are a slew of planets in her natal Fifth House now, which will help her pull some damage control, though she’ll still have to deal with the legal issues. That said, the same planets that are helping her publicly are also hitting her in her solar Eighth House (money and power). So while the universe is not exactly in her favor for winning the lawsuit, her brand will likely still hold steadfast despite this bump in the road.
