Margera (born Brandon Cole Margera on September 28, 1979, West Chester, PA, name legally changed to “Bam”) is a professional skateboarder and television personality. He released a series of videos under the CKY banner and came to prominence after being drafted into MTV’s Jackass crew. He has since appeared in MTV’s Viva La Bam and Bam’s Unholy Union, both Jackass movies, and Haggard, which he co-wrote and directed.â€?

In August he checked into rehab at the insistence of his wife, and checked out three days later. He apparently is abusing the prescription drug Adderall, an amphetamine used to treat ADD and hyperactivity as well as severe cases of depression. It is also apparent that he is in denial of the seriousness of his problem, even though one of the signs of drug and alcohol abuse is . . .your mate or partner complain that your substance abuse is damaging your relationship.

So what is in store for the professional skateboarder and Jackass star?

Bam’s predominant features in his chart are a collection of planets known as a stellium in Libra of his Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto. These are in the easy aspect called a sextile with an impulsive and flashy Mars in Leo and a daredevil Sagittarian moon sitting along side the planet of illusion, Neptune. Except for a challenge aspect between the Moon/Neputune combination with taskmaster Saturn, this man has no hard edges. Socially engaging, with an easy smile and warm personality, people just give him what he wants just to make him happy. There is one exception to this. As he was growing up, he just found rules too difficult to follow, due to the challenge aspect to his Moon/Neptune combo and Saturn. Parental control was strict and damaging. The bar was set so high for this boy he gave up trying to follow the rules. Instead, he learned to talk his way out of any situation, by virtue of his Mercury in Libra. He learned early that instead of taking responsibility he could avoid it, with a lot less pain than taking his lumps.

However, right now the planet of transformation, Pluto, owns his chart. He is going to learn some hard lessons whether he wants to or not. Pluto in the sky is sitting tightly on that Moon/Neptune square Saturn configuration spotlighting substance abuse. Like other celebrities with substance abuse problems, he is going to be in and out of rehab as he seeks to put a lid on troubles at home. However, his newlywed wife, Missy is going to patient for only so long. If he does not effect some real changes before the end of the year, she may end the relationship just at the one year mark of the wedding. That is when the planet of changes Uranus, forms the stress aspect called the inconjunct with his natal Pluto while squaring his Moon/Neptune combination.
