Page 26 The Westchester Guardian Thursday, JUly 1, 2010On July 4 th Weekend, UranusStations RetrogradePaparazzi King, Ron Galella, Gets Some Respect at LastIf time has not been altogetherkind to Ron Galella, it has beenfair. In this season of eclipses in theCancer/Capricorn axis, Galella, ahard-working Capricorn if ever therewas one, famous for ushering in themodern era of pop celebrity photojournalism,is now himself immortalizedin the current hit HBO documentary,“Smash His Camera.”One-of-a-kind Ron Galella,“Superstar Paparazzo,” was born in theBronx on January 10, 1931. “I don’tknow what time, I think it was at night,but it was at home with a midwife.”Galella said when I spoke with himthe other day. As a Capricorn withSaturn both ruling and conjoining hisSun, timing and an unshakable workethic is, always was, and always will becritical to the man who shares his lifestory in the film, and reveals his manytrade secrets like crashing and dressingtips for all would-be paparazzi.Known best for endlessly stalking,ARIES: A family member could helpyou complete work obligations on July1 st and free you up for the weekend. Butthe July 4/5 standstill of Uranus in yoursign can be summed up in one word:photographing, and being sued twice byhis favorite subject, Jacqueline KennedyOnassis, and for having had his jawbroken and several teeth knocked outby Marlon Brando, the people interviewedin this film seem to either lovethe mischievous, hard-working, andbeguiling Galella or hate him.I am in the first camp and afterwatching the documentary and seeingthe lifetime of work generated by thisprolific and unstoppable photographertrained by the U.S. Air Force. I havea newfound respect for his perseverance,his passion, accessibility, and hishumanity.While it has to be terribly annoyingto be stalked and photographed and feelinvaded by anyone violating your personalspace (I could not begin to tolerateit), I found myself making excuses forGalella’s frenzied pursuit of Mrs. Onassisand actually rooting for him. I recall inthe early-to-mid 1970’s when JackieOnassis’s trial was news everyday. GalellaOver-stimulation. And it could justifiablydeem you more untouchable thanusual. So put others on notice that youwill be in no mood for small talk and thatyou may veer off into anti-social territory.was perceived as the biggest nuisancearound. But all that is changed now thathis photographs are featured in galleriesthe world over. Many of them fetchthousands of dollars.Galella is the author of more thanten books of celebrity photos. His mostrecent book, “No Pictures”, is featuredin the HBO film as he hands a copy toRobert Redford after snapping someshots of the star at the Waldorf Astoria.He has been married since April 21,1979, to his beautiful and devoted wifeBetty, a journalist in her own right. Thetwo make quite the team. She graciouslyanswered the phone “Ron Galella” whenI called, and identifying myself as anastrologer she volunteered “I’m a Pisces.”Galella has the Moon in Libra,Uranus in Aries, and completing theCardinal Grand Cross is the conjunctionof Jupiter and Pluto in Cancer. Thatgives him tremendous staying power. Itis perhaps the most action-oriented anddriven chart I have ever seen. It makesF O R E C A S T SBut on the other hand, the genius in youwill be aroused and in the proper setting,you could put on one hell of a show.TAURUS: A sibling or neighbor andyour partner may see eye to eye for thesense that, in summer 2010, whichalso features a Cardinal Grand Cross,Ron Galella is featured as an exampleof one who made that configurationwork for him.

OnJuly 5 th , as Uranus stations retrogradein fiery Aries, travel may be strange, tosay the least. Tires could blow unexpectedlyand there could be technicaland electrical problems.
