Max Fox – Written in the Stars
Hosted by Jasper Whitlow with special guest Philip Garcia, Sound Alchemist, Astrologer & Psychic
Hello and welcome to Stardust Stories - where we unravel the lives of rising legends, guided by the cosmos. I’m Jasper Whitlow, and today we’re diving deep into the astrological world of one of Britain’s hottest new sensations: Max Fox. If you saw that Golden Buzzer moment on Britain’s Got Talent, you already know his name - but trust me, you haven’t seen anything yet. And joining me is someone who reads the stars as fluently as most people read the morning news - Philip Garcia, sound alchemist, astrologer, and psychic. Philip, welcome to the show!
Thanks, Jasper. I’m absolutely thrilled to be here - well, I've known of Max for a few years now - never looked at his astrology before - he's always been a brilliant performer, nice lad, and he's had some sensational happenings since lockdown. But his chart is one of the most electrifying I’ve ever laid eyes on. I don’t say that lightly.
Let’s start at the beginning.. You’ve called his birth chart “once-in-a-generation.” Why is that?
Max’s chart is stacked and I mean truly stacked, with powerful parallels and contraparallels. It’s like having an entire orchestra inside you, always playing, sometimes in perfect harmony, sometimes in raw, driving tension. We’re talking Sun-Mercury, Sun-Saturn, Sun-Neptune parallels - absolute classics for artistic talent and creative drive. But then, you’ve got this rare storm of contraparallels: Moon to Venus and Mars, Mercury to Saturn and Neptune, Jupiter entangled with Saturn, Uranus, Neptune… the list goes on.
For the non-astrologers listening, what does that actually mean for a performer like Max?
It means intensity. It means you don’t just perform - you live every note. Max has the wiring of a true original, like Lady Gaga or Freddie Mercury. Emotional highs and lows, volcanic creativity, and a sense that every time he’s on stage, he’s telling his entire life story in a single song. He can’t help but reinvent himself - he’s built for artistic evolution.
Let’s talk about that Britain's Got Talent audition. The crowd, the cheeky shout, Amanda’s Golden Buzzer. Astrologically, was that just luck?
Well, funnily enough, I haven't watched Britain's Got Talent for years and years, maybe the odd snippet here and there - so when I saw Max pop up with posts over the Easter weekend, and the press bits popping up - and all the gubbins about the general concensous being it was all a set-up etc., I had to tune into the Episode to see for myself. Well, yep, I can see why the public would think it was a set-up - I saw his replies and various posts etc., and we all know how Television is all a bit dramatised - especially in these shows - but one glance at his chart and seeing the footage for myself - I thought WOW. But back to your original question about it just being luck? Oh, no, far from it. The audition day was laced with surprise aspects. Sun in Libra, Moon in Taurus - already a stage for beauty, charm, and emotion. But then you have Uranus quincunx the Sun - a classic for sudden breakthroughs, lightning-bolt moments. Saturn was standing behind him, a symbol of years of effort finally being rewarded. That wasn’t luck. That was destiny knocking, and Max being brave enough to answer. He took his opportunity and it paid off!
Now, everyone’s talking about the live finals. There’s so much hype - how’s the astrology looking for that period?
The finals are like a cosmic fireworks show! Sun and Uranus together in Taurus, Venus and Mars in a gorgeous trine, Jupiter dancing with the Moon. These are “star-is-born” aspects, Jasper. Max’s performances during this run - whether it’s the semis or the grand final - are primed to be unforgettable. The bold prediction? We’ll see a level of creativity, power, and connection that makes his audition look like a warm-up act. By the time he’s through, people will look back at that first appearance and think, “Was that really the same performer?”. He has a beautiful voice, he has a presence, and he certainly has the ability and the of course the hunger.
And what about his Solar Returns - his birthday astrology for 2025 and 2026? What’s in the cards for Max Fox?
His 2025 solar return in July screams breakthrough. Sun in Cancer sextile the Moon - so much emotional resonance. Jupiter in Cancer - think huge popularity, a tidal wave of support. But with Uranus and Neptune in the mix, expect the unexpected: new directions, possibly a leap into major acting, writing, or presenting. 2026? Even bigger! Jupiter in Leo, the classic entertainer’s placement, is trining Neptune and Uranus. He’ll be at his creative peak, and his public profile will be massive - think headlining festivals, releasing chart-toppers, probably even international recognition.
So, is he destined to win BGT? Or is something bigger on the horizon?
Well, that’s the twist, Jasper. The astrology doesn’t scream “trophy” - it screams “legend.” He may or may not take home the BGT title, but he will absolutely win the public’s heart and go on to a career that dwarfs the competition. The journey is just beginning. Don't forget that there are many other performers in the mix to win the BGT title; I couldn't even tell you one of them but with all these shows there is usually an array of sob stories, cute kids, amazing and weird talents and so on - it's not a singing show per say, but then again Max isn't just a singer - so as I've said before there is a lot of creative power that is there… and hopefully within the constraints of Television and the show's creative directives - we'll see a chunk of this from him.
Philip, before we wrap up, how much of Max’s talent have we seen so far?
We’ve seen about one percent. He’s only just opened the door to what he’s capable of. The next time you see Max on stage - whether it’s BGT or beyond - prepare for a transformation. The audition will seem pedestrian compared to what’s coming. Trust me, the best is truly yet to come. Even people who have seen him perform in his cirque show that tours, will be blown away as getting the chance to audition and everything that follows on from it, this was just the catalyst.
That’s the kind of prediction we love! Max Fox: the name, the voice, the star the cosmos can’t ignore. Philip Garcia, thank you for joining us and giving us a glimpse into the celestial fire powering Britain’s newest sensation.
So Philip. I know we were speaking the other day about Jean Dixon and her prophecies and predictions 50 years or so ago; and I know your lovely Helpful Hands co-host Jo Whitewater had discussions with you months and months before the COVID lockdown that it was all going to happen - stuff Jo said in one of your episodes that actually happened the next day or so, I find that truly fascinating - I really have to put you on the spot and ask you for some specific predictions on Max! What can you give us?
Oh Jasper!! Really?? You're digging me a big hole aren't you!! BUT I suppose - if I'm going to give you specifics..... By the end of 2025, he’ll have a major record or performance deal, TV appearances lined up, and possibly a viral moment that cements his place in British pop culture. 2026 sees Max cement his brand, with a second wave of fame - expect at least one hit single, a sell-out tour, and the start of a much much bigger media career. High-profile endorsements, or even a spot as a judge or presenter in the future. His emotional, honest style and authenticity will win him lifelong fans and open doors to surprising, creative ventures - perhaps even a signature charity or campaign.
Thanks Jasper. And watch this space - Max Fox is just getting started.
