Potential Astrological Placements of Jobu Tupaki
Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of my top three favorite movies OF ALL TIME. Every time I watch it, I learn something different. Depending on what is going on in my own life, I find myself relating to a different character. Sometimes one. Sometimes all of them. Sometimes all at once. Like everything I discuss in this archive, it is always the story that grabs me first. The movie is incredibly unique and immersive, and Jobu Tupaki is one of the most fascinating characters in it. Today, I want to discuss some potential astrological placements I see in Jobu Tupaki's chart.
As always, these observations are completely opinion-based. They are simply my personal interpretations based on my own experience studying behavior and Vedic astrology.
I want to start with the Ascendant here, and I'm thinking this could be her wildcard placement. Leo. I know that might not be the obvious choice for her, but we have to remember that Leo is larger than life, and Jobu Tupaki is larger than life. No, really. She is the most powerful force in the entire multiverse, and reality literally bends itself around her. Not only does she possess a unique confidence, but it isn't really confidence in herself as a person. It's confidence in her power. This isn't an "I love myself and everything is wonderful" type of Leo. It's more like, "Look what power came from my pain." I think her Leo Ascendant would most likely fall in Magha Nakshatra, and I have three reasons for that. First, the Ketu connection. Magha is ruled by Ketu. Ketu represents liberation, chaos, detachment, the void, and the dismantling of material reality. Jobu Tupaki's entire philosophy is born from seeing the infinite multiverse and arriving at the ultimate Ketu realization:
"Nothing matters."
She has experienced everything. Every possibility. Every version of herself. Every version of everyone she loves. Eventually, all meaning collapses under the weight of infinite perspective. If reality is limitless, then what makes anything important? Second, the ancestral burden. Magha's ruling deities are the Pitrs, the ancestors. Jobu's core conflict is entirely inherited from her relationship with Evelyn. She carries the weight of generational trauma, expectations, misunderstandings, and emotional wounds that existed long before the events of the movie. We can kind of see the ancestral dynamic through gongon and evelyn. Magha placements often wrestle with inheritance. Sometimes they feel deeply connected to their lineage, and other times they rebel against it entirely. Jobu does both. She desperately wants her mother's understanding while simultaneously rejecting everything her mother represents. We can see this ancestral dynamic play out through Gong Gong and Evelyn as well. Evelyn does have to do a lot of tiptoeing around her father's expectations, yet we still see her placing her own expectations onto Joy. In many ways, the same wound is being passed down. Each person wants to be understood, yet struggles to understand the next.
Lastly, Magha is symbolized by the royal throne. Jobu is the undisputed, chaotic queen of the multiverse. Yet unlike many royal archetypes, we never see her express an interest in ruling anyone. Her power is so vast that it has isolated her instead. Between the extravagant costumes, constant reinvention, theatrical entrances, and sheer inability to exist quietly, I think Jobu beautifully expresses the dramatic, larger-than-life nature of Leo. Most Leos want to be seen. In this case, however, Jobu has already seen everything. After a certain point, I think she realizes there is no validation left to gain from being seen. When you have already experienced everything, there is nothing left to prove. The spotlight loses its meaning. That may be one of the saddest parts of her character. Jobu possesses everything most people spend their lives chasing, yet she remains completely unsatisfied by it..
Next, Aquarius Sun. Yes, yes, Aquarius can create detachment, and I think we see that clearly in Jobu, but I don't think that's the clearest way this placement expresses itself. Putting the Sun in Aquarius makes it fall into the 7th House of balance, partnership, compromise, and the ability to understand another person's perspective. The 7th House is also the mirror of the Ascendant. It sits directly opposite the self and often reflects the qualities we seek, reject, or attempt to understand through other people. In many ways, I think Jobu spends the entire movie looking for herself through someone else. Despite having experienced every possible version of herself across countless realities, she still cannot answer the question of who she is or what any of it means. The irony is that after seeing everything, she becomes even more dependent on another person's perspective to make sense of her own existence.
The Sun is also a significator of the father, and I think we can see this placement reflected through Waymond. Throughout the film, Waymond consistently represents harmony. His natural instinct is to bring people together rather than push them apart. He chooses compassion when others choose conflict. One of the quotes from him really expresses this:
"I don't know. The only thing I do know... is that we have to be kind. Please, be kind, especially when we don't know what's going on."
In many ways, Waymond already possesses the answer Jobu is searching for. He understands that meaning is not found in grand accomplishments, but in relationships, kindness, and the small moments we share with one another. Despite having access to both of her parents' perspectives, Jobu remains almost entirely focused on Evelyn. Across countless universes, possibilities, and versions of reality, Jobu continues to return to Evelyn because Evelyn eventually becomes the only person capable of seeing what she sees. Jobu wants Evelyn to understand her conclusion, or provide some evidence that everything matters instead of nothing matters. She even says during the rock scene that she was hoping Evelyn would see something she didn't.
But Evelyn does understand, and though she eventually arrives at the same realization that nothing matters, she comes to a very different conclusion about what can be done with that information.
The next placement I would give Jobu is a Scorpio Moon in the 4th House. The emotional core of the entire movie revolves around Evelyn and Joy's relationship. Everything eventually comes back to her mother. Her anger. Her sadness. Her loneliness. Even her desire to destroy everything can ultimately be traced back to a wound that exists within the family itself. Scorpio Moons experience emotions with an intensity that can be difficult for others to understand. In Jobu's case, she becomes so consumed by her pain and isolation that she searches across countless universes for someone capable of seeing what she sees. The 4th House connection also makes sense because the wound itself originates within the home. Evelyn is emotionally distant throughout much of the story. She struggles to understand Joy and repeatedly fails to see her for who she really is. The beautiful thing about this placement is that Scorpio is transformative as well.
I would also place Jupiter and Rahu together in Pisces in the 8th House. Jupiter expands whatever it touches. Rahu expands whatever it touches. Together, these placements create something enormous. Jobu is not experiencing sadness. She is experiencing every sadness. She is not experiencing loneliness. She is experiencing every loneliness. She’s not simply experiencing loss. She is experiencing every possible loss across an infinite number of realities. This is where I think the Everything Bagel comes in.
The bagel is: "I have experienced everything, therefore I have nothing left."
That's a terrifyingly Piscean statement. The shadow side of Pisces can be dissolution. It is becoming so overwhelming by the enormity of existence that you stop seeing meaning in any of it. The bagel represents that shadow perfectly. It is the ultimate expression of someone exhausted by infinite possibilities. Rather than seeking transformation, Jobu seeks oblivion.
I could continue placing the remaining planets, but I don't think it's necessary. I don't want to get into the habit of watering down everything we just explored simply to fill out an entire chart. While additional placements could certainly exist, I believe these are the placements where the primary themes of the character reveal themselves most clearly.
Ultimately, I do not think Jobu Tupaki is a villain at all. I think she is a young woman carrying more emotional weight than anyone should ever be asked to bear. Beneath all of the absurdity, humor, costumes, and multiversal chaos is someone desperately searching for meaning, connection, and understanding. The tragedy of Jobu Tupaki is not that she has seen everything. The tragedy is that after seeing everything, she stopped believing anything mattered. Faced with infinite possibilities she arrived at a conclusion that many people eventually encounter in one form or another.
What is the point?
For Jobu, the answer is that there isn't one. Eventually, everything collapses into nothing.
Evelyn arrives at the same realization, but reaches a different conclusion. If nothing matters, then we are free to decide what matters.
