The hammer has fallen.
A new Discovery+ docuseries titled “House of Hammer” uncovers the dark side and sordid family drama surrounding fallen star and confirmed Virgo Armie Hammer.
Allegations of Hammer’s abuse first came to light in 2021 when a rape accusation was made against the actor and a series of disturbing messages that alluded to torture fantasies and eating human flesh were released by his former partners.
Two of those alleged victims are featured in “House of Hammer, which explores the claims made against the “Call Me By Your Name” star as well as five generations of abuse perpetrated by patriarchs of his wealthy family.
As a trailer for the series, premiering on September 2, maintains, “You don’t just wake up and become this dark controller, abuser. This behavior is deep-rooted.”
To be clear and kink positive, the issue with Hammer is not his alleged fetishes, alleged BDSM and cannibalism. extreme as they may seem, but his alleged and aggressive violations of consent. Within kink communities and BDSM scenes, consent is king, communication is essential and dynamics and boundaries are thoroughly negotiated to maintain the safety and satisfaction of all parties. Sharing an alleged cannibalism fantasy does not make someone inherently deviant or an abuser, violating another person and the covenant of consent does.
In terms of astrology, there are no aspects or planetary placements that indicate or predict that someone is or will become abusive. An old adage, “the stars incline us, they do not bind us,” is apt to remember here.
While certain elements predispose us, and certain aspects suggest darkness or struggle, our willingness to be consumed by or to exact that darkness onto others is a matter of free will and a measure of our humanity. In essence, the birth chart is the cards we are dealt, how we play them is up to us and astrology is the interpretation of that hand. With this in mind, read on to learn more about what has made and unmade Armie Hammer.
Born August 28, 1986, Armie Hammer is a Virgo sun with a Gemini moon. Hammer was named in honor of his great grandfather Armand Hammer, who amassed the family’s fortune through oil and grifts, kept close ties with Soviet Russia and according to Vanity Fair, funded the Watergate cover-up.
The sun in astrology represents our ego, identity and the archetype of the father. As an earth sign, Virgos like Hammer are interested in the corporeal world and the tangible results that can be found within it. Virgos have a reputation for being exacting, anxious and self-punishing. These people are blessed/cursed with the ability to see both the weak points and unrealized potential in all things and all people. At its highest expression Virgo energy transmutes this ability into service, rectification and organization.
At its most lowly, Virgo energy is manipulative, demeaning to others and acutely self-serving. Not for nothing folks, Ed Gein was a Virgo and the sign ranks as the most dangerous in the zodiac. Interestingly enough, Hammer’s playboy father Michael, who has fielded his own accusations of depravity, is also a Virgo.
