LIBRA All about the sun sign Libra, Moon and planets, Ascendant and MC in Libra

Libra is an air and cardinal sign ruled by Venus. Air is about communication and interaction! Venus is charm.

Keywords for Libra:
Balance and compromise (and to achieve that: diplomacy and charm)

You are a true Sun in Libra when you:
- are proud of your partner
- give in to keep peace and quiet
- became a middle manager or diplomat
- need company
- want to do everything together with another person
- arbitrage in rows
- make things look better than they are
When you are a Libra you do not want to be alone for long.

You would expect perfect examples of nice and diplomatic Libra's, would you?
But here are some:

- Klaas Bruinsma (Dutch criminal, got shot)
- Truman Capote (famous for a book about murder)
- Winny Mandela (not so kind ex-wife of Nelson)
- president Putin (politicians have a lot of influence of Libra, of course)


Moon in Libra
Moon in Libra just cannot decide. Picture yourself a changing shape on a moving balance and you can understand why not. But those Moons in Libra have a nice attitude and know how to be popular and charming. They just NEED company. Mothers with Moon in Libra might pay special attention to the equal division of candy among their children...

George W. Bush and Sylvester Stallone are some having moon in Libra.

Mercury in Libra
Such a pleasant conversation you can have with them. And such a diplomacy. In studies you are very calculating. You want studies to be fun in the first place.


Venus in Libra
Good position for Venus. A diplomatic charming Venus having good taste in choosing a partner. Those people are representative! But for men sometimes a difficult position. They meet so many beautiful women! Like Bill Clinton. And Sean Connery (first James Bond)

Mars in Libra
A difficult position for a marriage for Mars brings aggression and fights. You DO something when you see someone nice so maybe being loyal might not be easy.

But OK, you CAN work on a relationship and you can WORK together. As long as you and your partner have sport together or join in the job it is OK. Until bad times arise...

Bill Clinton and Bill Gates are examples.

Jupiter in Libra
You believe in peace and harmony. If everybody joined you there would be heaven forever. With afflictions you are convinced that all goes well even if you make no special efforts and you might be a little naive.

Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Madonna and Michael Jackson have this position

Saturn in Libra
A heavyweight hanging in a balance just asks for contra weight or else ends up down. Company and partnership is very important for you and sometimes a burden load. You feel obliged to be loyal and like to make contracts to be sure of the other person (and yourself).

Libra ascendant
You do it charming, diplomatically, nicely and like a team player though behind that kind appearance might be a totally different person. You always do it politely and preferably in a nice and well decorated environment. You are beautiful or at least representative and get a lot of compliments.

Who? John Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, James Dean

Libra MC
Your goal is harmony and beauty. Hard working does not really belong to your destiny, you feel. So you will find a balance between work and rest. In your profession diplomacy or beauty is needed.

Princess Diana and Brigitte Bardot had Libra MC in their charts.

VIRGOAll about the sun sign, Moon and planets in Virgo and about Ascendant and MC in Virgo

Virgo is the second flexible sign. Virgo is the second earth sign.

Keywords of Virgo are: service, details, minor things, usefulness and skill

You show having Sun in Virgo and being a Virgo by:
- wearing perfect combinations (shoes white, handbag white, earrings white)
- telling your partner all the time about the things that do not fit in his outfit
- being proud when your boss is grateful for your services
- thinking things you cannot see or use are worthless
- change the place of the furniture every now and then
- being sarcastic when times get hard
- being a perfectionist.
Diets are Virgo related. Maybe that is why Twiggy is a Virgo. But so was Freddy Mercury.

Moon in Virgo
You notice every little thing and that is why you are of perfect use in practical processes such as photography. As a mother you like your children nice and clean and you do never forget the plants in the office. A modest attitude and at least pretending to be useful: that is Moon in Virgo.

Mercury in Virgo
Here Mercury is strong in sign. You are the kind of student that never simply accepts what the teacher tells you. Your mind is critical.

Venus in Virgo
You are very critical and choosy. Maybe that is why this placement of Venus is considered a sign for not getting married at all. And if they do it is because it is useful, practical or 'it should be done now'. In art Venus in Virgo is the kind of art product you can use practically, like a beautifully designed teapot. But: there ARE artists with Venus in Virgo:

These two artists have Venus in Virgo in the 5th house too: Louis Armstrong and Cliff Richard.
All of the artists below have Venus in Virgo:
- Bob Geldoff (Venus in Virgo in the 9th)
- Andrea Bocelli Venus in Virgo (born 22nd of september 1958, Sun in Virgo too)
- J.K. Rowling (Venus in Virgo, born 31st of July 1965)
- Mick Jagger Venus in Virgo in the equal 2nd house
- Eminem (17th of October 1972) Venus in Virgo
- Vicky Leandros (23th of august 1952) Venus in Virgo
- Julio Iglesias (23 September 1943) Venus in Virgo
- Carl Orff (Venus in Virgo conjunct IC) – 10th of July 1895 3h15 München

Mars in Virgo
The handyman, the realistic and practical service man, the cool guy. Badly aspected you are often aggressive to your employees. Example: George W. Bush!

Jupiter in Virgo
Symbolises the cynical and critical person who just does take everything for granted. The advantage of this placement is that you are lucky in finding good employees.

Saturn in Virgo
Symbolises those who have to work with details and be accurate and those who want to make a career in administration and services. Sometimes spending a lot of time on tiny details....

Ascendant Virgo
Hugh Hefner surrounds himself with beautiful young ladies and Virgo might be the symbol of that. But in general those with ascendant Virgo act like decent people. You will not find a spot on their clothes!

MC VirgoServices, administration, practical use and skill, that is what you want to have and be known for.

LEOAll about the sunsign Leo, Moon in Leo, planets, Ascendant and MC in Leo

Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun himself. So Leo is the sign of manifestations, being a star and being noticed.
Keywords for Leo are: strong will, show, pride and vitality.

You show (and you might sure say SHOW) you are a Lion by':
- wanting to be in the middle of the attention (esp. as a child you can sure draw some attention!)
- wanting to be the boss, the champion or the star
- showing off (sometimes with body building)
- being bossing around (somebody has to be the boss and that might as well be Leo)
- placing honour and honesty above all
- being arrogant
- being expensive
- talking too loud

Examples? Mick Jagger, Schwarzenegger, Fidel Castro

Moon in Leo
Those with Moon in Leo have a sense for status and sometimes they walk around showing off where there in fact is nothing to be shown but fake. It is a position for pretensions. They just have a need to draw attention and look royal (dressed up with 'jewels', 'furs' etc.).

Evita Perron, Margareth Thatcher, Nancy Reagan, Raisa Gorbatsjov and queen Elisabeth have such a moon in their chart.

Mercury in Leo
When you talk all the rest must keep silent (willing or not). You have noble opinions but sometimes you tell them to arrogantly. As a student you hate details. You do a study with all your heart.

Venus in Leo
Loyal is royal. You like to spend money when you love and adore someone to show your pride. Venus in Leo might also mean 'women attracting attention'. Maybe that is why Rubens has this position:)?

Mars in Leo
The managing soldier, fighting openly and proudly. Active as a leader, but as a boss (in trouble or with bad aspects) you are aggressive sometimes!

Examples? Al Gore

Jupiter in LeoSelf confidence! Believing in life itself.

Bill Gates, John Paul II as examples.

Saturn in LeoLimited vitality. The serious side of life and the load of leadership. Respect is very important for you. You always stay correct.

Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, Schwarzenegger, Al Gore


Ascendant in Leo
Whatever you do you will make sure it is noticed! Muhammad Ali is a great example of ascendant Leo, esp. when he shouted: "I am the greatest!". But all that noise might be covering up someone else...

And yes, Mick Jagger, George Pompidou, Charles and Camilla, Marilyn Monroe and O.J. Simpson share this ascendant.

MC in Leo
You want to be the star, the leader or the boss! Or at least be noticed...

AL GORE FOR VICE PRESIDENT? Obama wants him...

Al Gore is wanted. Barack Obama wants him as his minister or even vice-president. Al Gore and the Clintons did not match much since Al Gore ran for president and now this completes it. I wrote about Al Gore before, when he won the Nobel Prize. I saw amazing comparissons with the chart of Yasser Arafat.

"This is about the NOBEL PRIZE (AL GORE AND ARAFAT both won the prize and see how much their charts are a look-a-like). The first you see is the chart of Al Gore. (This time I added the chart of Al Gore only).

What is it that Yasser Arafat and Al Gore share, except for the Nobelprize for Peace? Both have a planet on the 11th degree of Aries (Dane Rudhyar, freely translated, said this degree means that the administrator of a country is official inaugurated). Very convenient for astrology!:) They share about 8 aspect combinations.

Al Gore has Sun quintile Uranus. Yasser Arafat the biquintile.
Al Gore: Sun opposed to Neptune. Arafat: Sun conjunct Neptune. Al Gore: Sun trine Pluto. Arafat: Sun semi square Pluto. They share minor and major aspects between Moon and Mercury, Moon and Venus, Mercury and Saturn, Venus and Pluto kaders), Mars-MC and an MC in Aries. One, a fighter, received the Nobelprize for a Peace that never really existed. The other, consuming large amounts of energy for his own house, gets this prize for a movie about the environment.

Yasser Arafat is born on August 24, says Wikipedia, but Astrothème and my computer program say August 27 1929 at 2 a.m. in Cairo. Pluto is crucial on the Ascendant, Neptune is oriental conjunct the Sun, Mars and Uranus are on both sides of the meridian. We see an influencial ideologist and terrorist/freedom fighter (depending on which side you are). The 900 million he kept for himself could be contributed to Venus conjunct Pluto and Neptune in the second house.

Al Gore was born March 31, 1948 at 12h53 in Washinton. Minor aspects (only) are afflicting the oriental Mercury. Venus is calling, too. We see a communicator with diplomatic talents. The most narrow aspect in the chart of Al Gore is that of Mercury inconjunct Saturn (he should have to stop thinking in doom theories:). Saturn on the midpoint Mars/Pluto in the first house seems to be pointing at the nasty sides of political struggle.

Wikipedia mentions that during the campaign for the presidency of the USA Al Gore said misleading or false things. The same thing is happening now with An Inconvenient Truth. Recently a British judge judged that there are nine mistakes in this famous movie. Mistakes of great importance, I think (the period of time it takes for the sea to rise 20 feet, the facts that no polar bears drowned and no attols were evacuated, the fact that there is no exact fit at all between the graphs of carbon dioxide levels and temperatures over 650.000 years.

Al Gore has an afflicted Pisces Mercury inconjunct Saturn ('doom'theories and fantasies). That is one of the reasons that I doubt his theories just as much as I doubt Nostradamus, the Maya-calendar and the global effect of the position of Pluto conjunct the Galactic Centre, seen from earth. And it is not to be expected (astrologically) that there will be no other doubts. Next April Uranus will square his Progressed MC, Neptune will be inconjunct the Ascendant and Saturn will make hard aspects to both the natal and progressed Sun in the second half of August 2008. Well, time will tell..."

Well, it seems that Al Gore eventually DID have ambitions although he denied having them (again the effect of Neptune and Saturn)...Now let us have a look at the match with Obama...I see the Pluto of Al Gore sitting on the Sun of Obama and I am still thinking about the effect of that.(?;)

MARS IN ASPECT WITH PLUTO

Mars/Pluto means: THE DRIVE TO WIN and all that involves that (results and pains, force, overruling, strong muscles even). In this article I give examples of people with an aspect between Mars and Pluto in their chart. And I explain what they have in common though they are so very different.

Examples of people with Mars-Pluto aspects:
- Hillary Clinton is one of those persons who has Mars afflicted with Pluto and Moon. These are indications for ambition. She also has the ascendant on the midpoint Mars/Pluto, indicating taking risks. Her natal chart is here below.
- Karl Rove has a midpunt combination of the MC with Sun/Mars, Mars/Saturn and Pluto/Node (the results sanctify the means).
- Joseph Smith (born 17th of march 1966 in Brooklyn) was a divorced auto mechanic on probation when he kidnapped an eleven year old (Carlie) and raped and killed her. His chart shows Uranus conjunct Pluto in narrow aspect. His Sun is aspecting the midpoints Mars/Uranus and Mars/Pluto.
- Carlie (Joseph Smith’s victim) was born 16th of march 1992. Her chart shows Uranus conjunct Neptune and Mars square Pluto in narrow aspect. Both Mars and Pluto are aspecting the midpoint Sun/Uranus, making a variation of the midpoint combination her murderer has. On the 6th of February 2004, when she was murdered, Transit Saturn semi squared both Mars and Pluto in her natal chart…
- Natalee Holloway (born 21st October 1986 in Birmingham USA, reported missing in June 2005) has a tight square of Mars and Pluto in her chart.
- Hannie Schaft (born 16th of September 1920) was executed on the end of the Second World War. She worked for the resistance.
- George Best (football legend, born 22nd may 1946, died November 2005) had Mars conjunct Pluto in his chart.
- Osama bin Laden, supposed to be born 10th of march 1957, has Mars square Pluto in his chart.
- New prime-minister of Germany, Merkel, has Mars trine Pluto (she was born 17th of June 1954)
- Sportsman have Mars-Pluto aspects often, like Willem van Hanegem and Ruud Gullit (both sextile), Rinus Michels (opposition) and famous international Johan Cruijff (very narrow Mars trine Pluto): the drive to win.

Ebertin says Mars/Pluto in general is 'superhuman force (violence and brutality'). Afflicted: to treat others without compassion to gain the goals, cruel, brutal. Sociology: topsporters, nuclear investigators, WAR VICTIMS! All this is done with the drive to win. The note in the book ‘COSI’ (Combination of Stellar Influences) says that at the time of launching a rocket a Mars/Pluto connection - usually with the Sun - has been seen.

I think Mars-Pluto speaks of 'men with power or brutal men' and use/abuse of power. Or with the Node: 'contact with violence' and I would add: power. And not to forget: the drive to win.

Victims with a tight aspect between Mars and Pluto fight for their life
When Carrie died T Saturn came over her Mars and Pluto and that (acc. to Ebertin) refers to violent divorce, suicide and wanting to get over difficulties. She defended herself against the attack that eventually killed her. Because when you have a Mars/Pluto aspect you are not likely to be an easy victim. And neither are the war victims that Ebertin mentioned: attack (Mars) and defence (Pluto). The same drive is to be found in the chart of Natalee.

No moral valuation in astrology
Mars and Pluto in aspect in your chart simply shows a extraordinary drive, strength and the spirit of combat that is helpful in the charts of those who want to win, gain, defend and force. An aspects on its own does not indicate good or bad. It indicates a tool to use. And having Mars in aspect with Pluto makes it a strong tool!

ps
ANOTHER MARS-PLUTO EFFECT IN A RELATIONSHIP:
On 10th January 2007 I wrote about SOPHIA LOREN/CARLO PONTI:
"Today Carlo Ponti, the husband of Sophia Loren, died. Mars and Pluto are starring...
Sophia was born September 20 1934 at 15hours in Rome. She has Mars and Pluto in the seventh house of relations and marriage. Today the midpoint of Mars and Pluto was exactly square her natal Sun and Transit Mars was inconjunct progressed Pluto. In the solar return chart Mars quindecile Pluto (orb 1,5 degree)and in the solar return chart for her next birthday Mars opposes to Pluto.

Carlo Ponti's chart reflects the Mars-Pluto in the chart of Sophia Loren.

He is born 11th december 1912 at 13.00 hours in Magenta and died today with Transit Pluto square ascendant and opposed to progressed Pluto, while transit Saturn is inconjunct progressed Sun and transit Mars squares progressed Sun.

Is it possible that two charts 'fit'more? His Mars and Pluto are prominent. Mars is oriental and Pluto on the IC! She has Mars and Pluto in the house of the partner (that is descriptive of the partner) and both have Mars and Pluto active and activated in their (progressed, birth or solar return) charts today."
