Multiple murder in charts of Lubitz and Enwazi

Charts must be seen in the light of what we know about a person (gender, genes, social circumstances, culture and historical episode etc.). Then we look at the natal chart to see 'what it is in it'). The transits and progressions show us 'what happens'. The combination of all that is sometimes enough to create 'monsters'. 

Here are two examples: the pilot who was responsible for the death of dozens of innocent people and the jihadi executioner. A quick glance shows that they share a Mars-Uranus-Pluto combination and Saturn-Uranus. The lenght of this post already tells you that it is not just one sign or aspect that explains their acts. 

I hesitated about publishing the charts, because of the complexity and cruelty of the facts. It is the fact that astrology charts of these cases are just as complicated (and cruel) as the events, that made me decide that it is important to show the many facets that color the picture: in dark shades...

SUICIDAL PILOT
Here is the chart of Andreas Lubitz (18 December 1987 – 24 March 2015). Lubitz was born in Montaubar. He was 27 years old, unmarried and it rumors that he had problems with his pregnant fiancĂ©e. His mental and fysical condition actually disabled him to be a pilot, but it was his dream and- as all pilots- he had a considerable debt. Maybe all that was enough to want to die, but it doesn’t explain why he wanted innocent passengers and crew members to share the horror of his final flight. There are ideas about it, like medication and the sort of depression, but what does the chart say? I think that it was in that chart, if you include the fact that he wasn't mentally healthy and that he had a plane in control. 


The natal chart shows a rather fanatical, ambitious, silent (if needed), not very reasonable dreamer with a health issue and the tendency to act in a radical way and/or shoot his own feet.
The transits and progressions draw a dark picture of the situation at the time of his death. Circumstances (t&p) activated existing issues and characteristics. As always,mit is a combinations of things.
But above all: if he hadn’t been a pilot, he couldn’t have done this.

I Natal chart
1.    Saturn rises before the Sun. That means that his official status was number 1 and so were his parents. This also gives a rather pessimistic view.

2.    Mercury conjunct Saturn: see Astromarkt (http://www.astromarkt.net/aspects-with-mercury.html ). I quote: ‘You just don’t tell it all…’

3.    Mars conjunct Pluto and novile Uranus is the combination of radical acts on impulse, sudden use or abuse of power

4.    Sun, Saturn and Uranus opposition Chiron shows the possible need to heal issues of breaking free and limited freedom

5.    Possible Moon NA (in the morning) could add ‘emotions at any kind of level’

6.    Calling Neptune (NA); see Astromarkt. I quote:’ dreams without limits ending in a world of dreams’

7.    Sun inconjunct Pholus for the risk to shoot your own feet at any point in life (self destruction?)

The ingredients for being silent (Mercury-Saturn) about a health issue (Sun-Chiron) and eventually losing grip on reality (Neptune) were there, and they were triggered.
When the planets involved in natal aspects are being brought together by means of a transit or progression, they ‘sound’ harder. I named that ‘resonance’.

Andreas Lubitz was a Sagittarius with Scorpio Moon. This combination contributes to a person’s confidence and minimizes objectivity (see: http://universal-tao-eproducts.com/mp/files/sun-moon_sagittarius-scorpio.pdf ). There are no placements in air signs in this chart. That is a sign of ‘not to be reasoned with’ (http://www.astromarkt.net/unaspected-planets-and-missing-elements.html )
Take that in mind, together with the 7 observatoins.

II Transits and progressions
Transits (exact,within 1 degree of orb) and progressions (ditto):

1.    Transit Saturnus sesquisquare Mars (dead end)
2.    Transit Saturn conjunct Progressed Mars (dead end)
3.    Transit Uranus inconjunct Mars (accelerated drive, resonates Mars novile Uranus in the natal chart)
4.    Transit Pluto sextile Mars (easy way out using force)
a.    Together Mars, Uranus and Pluto activate the Mars, Uranus and Pluto combination in the birth chart. It is the trio of radical act of importance

5.    Transit Pholus conjunct Sun indicates an important point of no return (turning point with a risk), resonating the Sun inconjunct Pholus natal aspect
6.    Progressed Sun was trine progressed Pholus, this enable a turning point that is important (because of the natal aspect)
7.    Progressed Sun near inconjunct Progressed Chiron, resonating Sun-Chiron opposition in the natal chart and symbol of the important need to be cured with a loss involved (mirrored by the inconjunction)
8.    Transit Neptune semi square Sun for confusion
9.    More subtile aspects like Progressed Sun semi sextile Saturn (end of a period) and
10. transit Uranus conjunct Eris (sudden discord)

Two times dead end, two times point of no return, confusion and need to be cured with end of period and sudden discord: there is nothing light or bright about the transits and progressions. It is all deep darkness.

Could we have foreseen that?
Even that wouldn’t have to lead to a crashing plane on a mountain top and the death of so many people, if Andreas Lubitz had been a healthy person. But he wasn’t. He had psychiatric problems 6 years ago, already. So we have to see this load of heavy transits and progressions as a load of problems for an already troubled person who was given a responsibility that he abused to be ‘known’ forever and ever because after all he was ambitious first of all (Saturn rising before the Sun).
If we knew his hour of birth, perhaps we could add even more indications in the birth chart and more transits and progressions.  Maybe these data give us more insight in the answer to the question why he wanted to kill so many people. Or maybe that is the byproduct of medication?

If he had to be seen by an astrologer before being allowed to fly, if the astrologer only used major aspects and the classical planets, he’d only see transit Saturn conjunct Progressed Mars (if he used progressions…).  But it is as with any major incident, a matter of 3 or more heavy indications in one direction that does it at a specific moment.

Here you see 10 major and minor indications. Four of them are with Chiron, Pholus and Eris. There are 5 minor aspects involved, including 2 inconjunctions. Together they give you a picture of a nasty period for a not so reasonable person who is first of all ambitious, who doesn’t tell it all, who lives in a world of dreams and who has some kind of illness and wants to break free. Once you know what comes next, you see it. Otherwise it is just a troubled dark colored shady picture, like that of the remains of the plane on the mountaintop. If we could only go back in time and stop this man…

JIHADI JOHN
One of the most wanted persons today is Jihadi John, the British young man who slaughtered Islamic State victims in the name of his religion. He was born on August 17, 1988 in Kuwait (see link to Sky News), a rather ordinary day. This post is about the chart of his day of birth as a reminder of what I always say: charts mirror life, not vice versa. And: charts should be seen, related to genes, gender, culture, history, and circumstances.

CIRCUMSTANCES
Emotions like love and hate, being lonely or in danger cAn trigger the worst aspects of personalities, even when a person always looked so ordinary and 'normal'. Situations, like war, make any difficult aspect harder (see example).  I read an article in a newspaper about 'radicalizing' jihadists. The author said that (given the data) it seems sort of coincidental when and why persons radicalize. One of his examples 'did it' when he was sad after an ended romance...

Nobody can 'predict' wether a person will or will not become a jihadist. A chart also doesn't dictate anything.We can 'blame' certain aspects when we want to find an explanation for a person's life but let's keep in mind that there are also psychological defects that can make any chart tricky. Trines and sextiles are abundant in the charts of criminals, because they help you find the 'easy way out' and some find it easier to rob their neighbors than to work for their money. Jupiter's happy transits helped Marc Dutroux and Michelle Martin several times. There seems to be no justice 'above'.

If the chart showed us 'fate' and 'predicted' radicalizing or becoming an executioner, more persons born on that day would have walked the same road. On Wikipedia I found 4 names of people born that day:

    – Aidan Coleman, Irish jockey
    – Bianca Collins, American actress
    – Brady Corbet, American actor
    – Erika Toda, Japanese actress

They all have the same proud Sun in Leo, the stylish and polite Moon in Libra, the same will to break free (Sun trine (Saturn conjunct Uranus)) and the same romantic drive (Venus opposition Neptune and square Mars). They all have Mercury sextile Venus and trine Neptune and Pluto for mystic ideas (about love, too).  Venus and Jupiter rise before their sun and that is a good and social sign. 
And they don't use violence, as far as I know.

So I can’t blame the chart of the day of birth even if they all have Mars inconjunct Pluto:).  How do they deal with Mars inconjunct Pluto? I don't know. Maybe they are extremely angry sometimes, more than average, but I can'd be sure. I only know that Jihadi John has a problem with anger and violence and that Mars inconjunct Pluto mirrors this.

Jihadi John had choices to make out of the potentials in his chart, but certain circumstances and ideas may have guided him to the road of destruction and this was related to his religious background, his age/gender and the existence of IS. Because…well, here is the chart:




SUCH AN ORDINARY CHART
I read about him that the most amazing thing about his life story is, that he is such an ordinary boy. People of the past are shocked that he is now a merciless sadist. As a kid he was such a nice boy, they say, but at a particular moment in time (about 5 years ago) someone persuaded him to become a jihadist and he went to the Middle East to start killing. Well, everybody knows the story and if not, you can find lots of info on the Internet.

At first sight the chart of the day is such an ordinary chart, too. Not per se the chart of a brutal killer. It is like in the chart of OJ Simpson, the smiling movie star who used to hit his wife and ended in jail not for killing her and her lover, but for violently robbing a store later. At first sight he was so kind and so was his chart, but...there WAS a potential for the nasty side. See the article about 'the chart behind the chart' here... Minor aspects CAN have major impact.

HIDDEN POTENTIAL
Even the chart of very ordinary day may have a hidden dangerous potential. So had August 17, 1988.
This not so obvious potential can be mirrored by minor aspects and prominent midpoint combinations. In the chart of Jihadi John it is a minor aspect combination that can be destructive in the hands of someone who is not sane or under the influence of drugs and (in this case) in a war zone. As I said before, circumstances trigger certain aspects. When you are in love or celebrating your marriage or playing with your dog, you are in a better mood than among fanatics in a war zone. 

The combination that I want to show is: Pluto semi square Saturn and inconjunct Mars (the combination of untimely death). This combinations is connected to the Sun by means of a sesquisquare. It is a tight combination. This bitter and hard potential didn’t ever have to be used like he uses it now. (OK: Maybe it comes forward because of angular placement of Mars, Saturn or pluto in the natal chart, but that remains the question.)

The signal of deathly danger (Mars-Saturn-Pluto) is also a warning signal for himself. It seems that there is a hunt for Jihad John and it depends on who catches him first, how his life will end. When Saturn will be in the 10th degree of Sagittarius, next year, he might have to look over his shoulder more frequently. And as his hour of birth is missing, there may be other moments sooner.

THE NOT SO ORDINARY PERSON
I use to read charts from the point of view that the person involved is a normal person, who wants to live a good life and be happy. But what if a person is not normal and who’s idea of ‘feel good’ is to kill, murder and rape? In that case charts and aspects may contribute to the vile acts. Only when a person is psychologically ill or in extreme situations, it is time for the worst meanings of aspects.

Saturn-Uranus
There is Saturn conjunct Uranus, both trine the Sun. Those are major aspects. It is the aspect combination of breaking free and/or limited freedom (see links)
The trine made it easy to leave the country and his family and join rebels abroad.  In a few years time the progressed Sun will hit this conjunction with a very hard square. Maybe that square ends his freedom? 

Mercury-Neptune-Pluto
Also there is a strong connection between Mercury, Neptune and Pluto by means of aspects and midpoint combinations. This combination of the ‘silent force’ and spirituality linked to the planet of communications, ideas and schooling might be the key to vulnerability for fanatic ideological ideas under certain conditions.

Sun-Mars-Uranus
The (aspect or midpoint) combination of the short fuse and eagerness for immediate change is frequent in the charts of terrorist as you can see in the article on Astromarkt. His Sun is sesquisquare Mars and trine Uranus.
See:
http://www.astromarkt.net/mars-in-aspect-with-uranus.html

Mars is inconjunct Pluto. That is also so in the chars of Hugh Hefner, Catherine the Great (both have/had an excessive number of sex partners; she had her husband murdered),  Tina Turner (had a violent relationship), Hannie Schaft (WW2 resistance, shot) and Luis Suarez (the famous biting football player). This aspect mirrors the issue of the use and abuse of power, sex and violence, with lack of balance and loss involved. Even this difficult aspect is rather neutral and how it works depends on position, gender, profession and situation. It doesn’t demand anyone to use force or to get into a situation where you have to defend yourself at any cost. But in a worse case scenario this aspects means excessive abuse of violence and the danger of injuries.

As Mars is also square Neptune, this might be stimulated by the use and abuse of alcohol or drugs or his acts are driven by ideals/ideology. 

And have you noticed the narrow quintile Sun-Pholus for creating a point of no return with a risk to shoot his own feet?

Again, this is a look at the astrological position on the day of birth of Mohammed Emwasi (and others). Everyone born on that day has the same aspects. The place and hour of their birth creates differences between them, but the major aspects are alike. So:
Charts don’t show a fate, charts show potential choices to make and the most likely way of life in certain circumstances. 
And sometimes charts show us the hidden nasty aspects that come out only in hell and only when someone freely chooses to act as one of the devil’s helpers.

MOON, ASCENDANT, MC, SUN/MOON
If we knew at what time he was born, we could see the aspects of the Moon, the Ascendant, the MC and the position of Sun/Moon midpoint. That would allow us to see the whole astrological picture and the key positions at the angles of the chart. Maybe that explains, or a bit...

BUT...
I guessed that there is something wrong with the psyche of this man (from birth or after using drugs). Or better: I hoped so. The consequence of the idea that it only took words and a certain belief/ideology to make Mohammed Emwasi 'Jihadi John' (digging up the darkest aspects of his personality), is too scary.

And to my relief I read that the executioner's past is less innocent than we were supposed to believe and that his family isn't 'well to do' but living in a mansion payed for by British welfare. In England they feel that poor people ought to have the right to live as if they were not, so that they get payed to live in mansions. The government (and tax papers) contributed many pounds to the way of life and study of the family and in fact: they still do. The father lives abroad.

Here again, the minor aspects make the chart. We all first heard the story of the common student who suddenly became a murderer and now we know that it was a process and that he wasn't so 'common' after all. The difficult Mars inconjunct Pluto pops up one day.

Chart of Misha Defonseca (not raised by wolves)

Yesterday it was the 77th birthday of Misha Defonseca, the artist name of a woman who told the world a story of being raised by wolves in World War II, after she - a Jewish child - escaped a prisoner camp. There is a movie about that! And a lot of people believed the story, including her publisher. But in the end, it is clear that Misha is not Jewish and never was in a prisoner's camp. The book and movie are still available. I haven't read it, but the reviews tell me that it is a fascinating story (but a pity that it wasn't sold as a story from the beginning).

Astrodatabank has her data. Here is the chart.

Misha Defonseca's birth chart has many many easy trines, the Sun/Moon semi square Venus for highlights on comfort and talent, and... an important Uranus to be in the news. The Mercury-Neptune trine permits her to picture a story and tell us tales. Moon with Venus and Neptune, 157.5 d from Midheaven: a pattern for artistic talent (though she had a ghost writer).
And there is Jupiter opposition Pluto on either side of the horizon for success (but, with a question mark, as oppositions seem to have to point at). In October 2008 she won a legal battle over 33 million dollars with P Sun opposite Jupiter (after P Sun c Pluto in February).

Now watch the transits and progressions for today and in particular: watch Saturn.


Transit Saturn is:
opposition natal Sun
inconjunct natal Venus
inconjunct progressed Venus
105 degrees progressed Sun

And in her solar return chart Sun is opposite Saturn, too.

She heard that she must pay back her publisher what she won in court a few years ago. That is not a nice birthday present...

When a solar return chart has such aspects, the birthday is not pleasant at all. But, as you see in this example, it takes more than 2 (usually much more) aspects for a major event to happen.

PS
It reminds of the story by Jerzy Kozinski. Many believed that the The Painted Bird was more than fiction.

Mars sextile Pluto and the abuse of power

How does a seemingly ordinary mix of aspects correspond with crimes?


I already wrote about the number of sextiles and trines*) in the charts of criminals They often go for the easy way out (earning money without working, for example, or killing your hubby for the insurance money). Well, medical doctor Melvin L. Morse tortured his step-daughter by means of water boarding. Maybe it was the easiest way to test his theories on near death experiences. He told his daughter that she could remain under water for 5 minutes without brain damage…

The hardest major aspect in his chart is Mars square Uranus and there are a few more or less narrow trines and sextile, like Mars sextile Pluto. I think that this aspect allowed him to use his strength and power against his step daughter. It is not that you MUST abuse power with this aspect. It is just that it can.

Melvin L. Morse is the author of several works on near death experiences of …children. He also wrote about ritual suffocation. He was born on December 11, 1953 and on that day these were the most significant astrological positions (Astro ID). Of course, without an hour of birth the angular positions and the degrees of Moon, Ascendant, MC and Sun/Moon midpoint remain unknown.
  • Mercury is ‘calling’ (no Ptolemeic aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees), for communication at any kind of level, somehow and anyhow. He is a writer.

  • Saturn rises before the Sun, showing the importance of status, parenthood (and parents) and responsibilities.

  • Saturn is ‘calling’, like Mercury is. Status, ambition, a position: at any level…


The prominence of both Mercury and Saturn is the prominence of a combination that is related to science (official knowledge).

  • Sun Sagittarius and Moon Aquarius, with Jupiter semi sextile Uranus for the ‘helicopter view’ (and different approach)


Now we have the importance of science and the character for the different approach…

Mars sextile Pluto is the most narrow aspect in this chart. 
It is the aspect of use and abuse of power, because of the intensity of his drives and energy. Mars is also square Uranus (for the short fuse). The Mars-Uranus-Pluto combination shows the drive to forcing changes and an exceptional drive to win (taking risks) here and now.

In addition, the narrow Venus trine Eris symbolizes the love for discord (enjoying discord). Venus is also ‘calling’.  This makes him charming and creative enough to be a beloved (Venus) scientific (Mercury Saturn) author (Mercury). With Jupiter/Pluto sesquisquare Venus he had a lot of success in society.

Apply his Astro ID to what they tell us that he did,  and you almost see the reason behind it.  Sun opposition Jupiter tells us about success and question marks regarding this success. It is the same story as the ‘positive’ negative dope control: some people don’t get away with it.  How a person with such a chart became a bullying terrorist at home is maybe visible in the Moon opposition Pluto and trine Mars (intens feelings released in using violence). But it takes an hour of birth for an analysis of the progressions and transits that lead him to where he is now (in prison).

He also founded the Spiritiual Scientific Research Foundation.
The ‘spirituality’ doesn’t seem obvious with this chart of the day, but the Moon could be trine Neptune, too. Moon with Neptune and Pluto mirrors the need to explore the unseen world (and is often related to addiction to drugs, medication or alcohol, too).

*) For those who don't know: sextiles are distances of about 60 degree between two position in a chart, trines have a distance of about 120 degrees. They are considered to be 'easy', harmonic or soft aspects. They enable the easy flow between two symbols. Just for the record:

Getting hurt with transit Mars (and Uranus)


This is about a personal experience with transit Mars. It is about transit Mars inconjunct Mars. It is about transit Mars trine Midheaven. And it is about transit Uranus quindecile Midheaven.
My Mars is exactly inconjunct my mother's Midheaven, so that we both had a transit Mars experience today.

1. Mars inconjunct Mars
I had transit Mars inconjunct natal Mars resulting in a complete energy drain. I slept about 10 hours, only interrupted by half an hour in the middle of the night. An inconjunct brings you out of balance. I was... Mars inconjunct Mars: loss of energy, not productive actions

2. Mars trine Midheaven
My almost 84 year old mother had transit Mars exactly trine Midheaven and transit Uranus quindecile Midheaven, too, today.  This was a great opportunity (trine) to show what she could do (Mars), all by herself, without any help (Uranus). So she wanted to fetch her mobile phone (that she can hardly use) and fell very hard, again.
Now her left arm has a big bubble and she has medication for the pain. Mars-Uranus for an incident and sudden pain.

Fortunately, she didn't break anything, this time. After August 31, 2012, when transit Saturn on her Midheaven (see that post named 'Saturn and hitting the floor') and she broke her hipbone in two places, she hasn't been able to walk without help any more. Another fracture and more surgery will be the end.

Mars trine MC: demonstrating that you can (but what if you can't?)
Uranus quindecile MC: strong focus on independent status or being determined to take a risk?

Falling isn't funny. But here is a link to YouTube about funny old ladies falling down (hopefully without injuries): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWrWF2Ft3wE

Mars trine Saturn, Nessus and Ariel Castro's chart


Ariel Castro was born on July 10, 1960 in Puerto Rico*) with an exact trine of Mars with Saturn. Driver, meringue player and abductor, divorced after domestic violence. How does that match up with a trine? Well, trines make it easy.
Mars-Saturn is for punishment, disciplining actions and discipline in general. Trines don't mean that you use the quality for good things only. The fact that his Mars is trine Saturn doesn't mean that this date of birth is not correct. So here is the chart:

In his progressed chart Mars was inconjunct Saturn at the moment of the first abduction (Michelle Knight's on August 22, 2002). Mars-Saturn is the kind of aspect that can be used to overcome difficulties and in the army or as a hero. Mars-Saturn is also the combination of death, limited energy and drives and slapping (see http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2010/04/mars-saturn-and-slapping.html )

PROGRESSIONS AND TRANSITS
Some 10 years ago his progressed Sun was changing sign and so was his life style. Between 9 and 11 years ago he abducted three young women/girls and kept them in chains. It started on August 22, 2002 when there were the following transits and progressions:
1. Progressed Mars was inconjunct Progressed Saturn, resonating the natal Mars trine Saturn. The self discipline was lost.
2. Transit Pluto was inconjunct natal Mars (violent act, the extraordinary - inconjunct - drive to dominate)
3. Progressed Sun square Nessus (in mythology a rapist). Nessus rises even before Mars...
4. Progressed Mars trine Pholus (turning point in sex life?)
5. Progressed Mercury conjunct Uranus (nervousness)
6. Transit Saturn opposite Jupiter

The combination of Mars, Saturn and Pluto is always difficult and threatening. Sometimes this combination is seen in cases of violent death or suicide or other 'unnatural' causes of death.

Sextiles, trines and crime (re: Fernandez de Souza)


Are sextiles and trines*) really symbols of harmony? Or are they the symbols of the easy way out? And is the easy way out, in certain situations, the criminal way? Do these aspects tend to 'give in' and 'give up' (with the hard aspects as symbols of 'resistance' and 'effort'?)
I have some examples on this blog and a recent one: Bruno Fernandez de Souza.

The Brazilian professional football goalkeeper Bruno Fernandez de Souza had the mother of his son killed because he didn't want to be a father and didn't want to pay. A friend suggested to have her killed and (as he says) he accepted this. It is a horrible story. Bruno Fernandez de Souza tried to kill himself in prison in September 2010, but he failed. Now he has to stay in prison for 22 years. That won't be easy.

This is the chart of the day of birth of Bruno Fernandez de Souza. Count the blessed sextiles and trines…

There is only one stress aspect within 5 degrees orb and that aspect happens to be a wider Mars square Saturn (the symbol of the issue of death, discipline and punishment). There is also the combination of Mars in aspect with both Saturn and Pluto, illustrating the issue of unnatural death. But: there are 7 sextiles and trines!

RESEARCH
There has been research in the world of astrology, almost always concentrated on stress aspects. But I saw an overdose of easy going aspects in the charts of those involved in crime (victims AND killers). Here are some links:

A French case of killer and victim, both with charts full of sextiles and trines:
http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2009/07/effect-of-sextile-example-youssouf.html

Sharon Tate had so many trines in her chart… She and her killer Susan Atkins even had a grand trine. Their synastry also was loaded with trines. Yet, they were connected by violent death. http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2009/03/chart-of-sharon-tate-raising-questions.html and shared a Sun-Saturn aspect: http://www.astromarkt.net/sharing-aspects.html (see about having the same aspect combination)

Dorice Donegan Moore killed Abraham Shakespeare after he won the lottery. Count the trines and the sextiles in her chart...
http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2010/02/chart-of-dob-of-dorice-donegan-moore.html

Ted Bundy had a number of trines and sextiles, too...http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2012/11/chart-of-ted-bundy.html


It is not that trines and sextiles have to lead to crime. It is that they tend to find easy ways out. And there are indeed many criminals with stress aspects, too.
What I mean to say is, that soft aspects don't mean easy lives and nice persons.
In order to make it easy on themselves they may damage others or themselves, just like those with hard and stress aspects do. Lots of trines and sextiles also don't stop that one stress aspect and they are no guarantee of easy living and happy ever afters.

*) For the starting student astrology:
- aspect is a distance between objects
- sextile is about 60 degrees distance
- a trine is an aspect of about 120 degrees

Chart of Benedict XVI: the day after



Yesterday the papacy of Benedict XVI ended by abdication. Here you see three charts of Benedict XVI: the natal chart with transits, solar return 2012 and: natal and progressed together. Transits and progressions clearly mirror the kind of change in the life of the now ex-pope. I'll show you how.


Natal and progressed positions Benedict 16t
1. In the progressed chart we see Pluto on the Ascendant, exactly. The Ascendant is the symbol of the situation (your view on the world outside) and … of the name. Pluto is the symbol of transformation, value, authority, stress, challenge, issues of life and death and change. There is hardly a better symbol than Pluto-Ascendant to describe what happened yesterday. Pluto also may refer to (too much) pressure. As Pluto is the ruler of the 8th house and positioned in the 4th this is a symbol of final issues (like this one) and a possible indication for the danger of death. I read that he recently had fysical problems.

2. Progressed Neptune is exactly trine natal Sun. That is a beautiful description of realizing a dream and the start of a period of seclusion. It is the kind of aspect that smoothly accompanies the start of a period of withdrawal (like when you step back).

3. Transit Pholus semi square the natal AC/MC marks a rather frustrating key turning point.

4. The solar return of his birthday in 2012 (valid until the next birthday in 2013) has Sun opposition Saturn. Afflicted Sun-Saturn moments are moments of discontinuation, ends and... goodbyes.


solar return 2012-2013
Two times symbols of change, one time symbol of an ending and the symbol of a smooth start of a more isolated way of life are about enough for a man of his age. But after I published this, I realized that there is even more, like:
- transit Uranus sesquisquare progressed Mars
- Jupiter novile progressed Sun (rejoycing positive change)
- Neptune transit quindecile progressed IC (weakness, basically)
- transit Uranus trine Saturn (breaking free)

I don't really know what to make of Progressed Mars trine Ceres. Ceres is an important figure in his chart and represents motherhood (or the holy mother figure). He said that he will continue to work for the (mother)church.

On Transit Mars inconjunct Progressed Mars you can see the energy drain of the final days of the papacy.

See the post of June 2012 about the power struggle in the Vatican, Cardinal Sodano and Cardinal Bertone and their synastry with the Pope.
( http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2012/06/sun-pluto-sun-mars-synastry.html ). I quote:
" Cardinal Sodano (November 23, 1927) has denied the rumors about a power struggle in the Vatican (perhaps anticipating on the end of the papacy of Pope Benedict). But before, he denied that there was any abuse by priests... "
