CHARLES AND CAMILLA They share Venus-Neptune...

To share Venus-Neptune is good for romance. Dreaming away by candle light or music or in the cinema. How long does it last? As long as things are OK. That is my view of partners who both have an aspect between Venus and Neptune in their charts, just like Charles (conjunct) and Camilla (square) have. And right now there is a rumour that things are not going swell...

You can see that in the chart of Camilla who has transit Neptune inconjunct Sun right now. Does that mean that the gossip do not really match reality? Or that her life does not match with her dreams and ideals? Anyway, it should add negativity to her view of life. This is even stronger because progressed Moon is conjunct Neptune as well. That means she does have a nasty period.

Charles however has progressed Venus tighly conjunct Jupiter today and on the 20th of April opposition Uranus. Is that for a revival in marriage or for new 'élan'? Who knows... It seems that he has more pleasure right now than she has. I guess the life in court is not as easy for her as it is for him. Besides, she is not very popular and there is the everlasting obstacle of the idolisation of Diana.

THE BIRTH CHARTS OF DODI AND DIANA, THEIR DEATH AND THE JUDGEMENT

JUDGEMENT ABOUT DIANA'S DEATH CAUSE: THE DRIVER WAS RECKLESS

Neptune is opposition the progressed Sun of the late Princess Diana right now. Her progressed Sun is close to square Venus. I think the gossip, the negative light that was shed on her past again and the media influence is related to the Neptune opposition. And the Sun square Venus hopefully means that a new eposide of peace is near. I am convinced that the accident was an accident. I see the Saturn-Pluto-Ascendant combination in the charts of Diana and Dodi, that I also noticed in the charts of 4 other victims of traffic. And on the 31st August 1997 Mercury-Uranus afflictions in their charts indicated being in a hurry and ... a possible traffic accident.

I have don the reading of the birth chart of Diana...before, on my site Astromarkt. She was born 1st July 1961 at 19h45 in Sandringham, married 29th June 1981, eldest child William born 26th May 1982. Diana died on 31st August 1997. There is a lot to tell about the Cinderella complex in her chart (Pluto on top in the 7th degree of Virgo) and about the Plutonic effect in her life (Pluto: the price you pay for richness, the symbol of life and death, money and power, sex and politics). The chart of Diana does not show a victim. It shows that she chose her own ways of doing things, and that she needed a lot of love.

A CALLING ASCENDANT!
There is a significant lack of aspects with the ascendant. It seems she was the play ball of events and situations and had little grip on it. A calling ascendant might point at 'representing' at any possible level.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS, DANGER
The main afflictions are with Mars (conjunct Pluto) and through the translation of light with the Node connected with Uranus. All this occurs in the ninth house of other countries, travel and publicity. For the accident we see even more clues....

ACCIDENT
1. in her natal chart...
Mars, Uranus, Pluto close together in the equal ninth house of travelling. Afflicted Moon in 3. Ruler 8 in 3 opposed to planets in 9. Node exactly opposed to the midpoint Uranus/Pluto (radical relations, accidents together with others). And the supposed to (and always present) Vulcanus is almost exactly opposed to the midpoint Ascendant/MC.
And in her birth chart we see Mars, Uranus and Pluto in the eight house, indication of death by impulse or speed with Saturn related to the midpoint Pluto/Ascendant. That is a midpoint combination that also occurs in the two deadly traffic accident charts mentioned in the famous book of Carter. I looked at the birth charts he mentioned and gave my vision in this article, click here.

Diana was not driving and had no influence on the events at all. Still I think the transits and progressions for the accident are not plenty. Only her rush and taking risks can be found and maybe that is just her share in the event: being in a hurry.

2. transits and progressions
When she died there were these aspects:
- Transit Uranus conjunct ruler 1 Jupiter (mostly a 'thank God'relief aspect, but in transit an alarming signal? there must be something to be relieved about...) ;
- Transit Jupiter opposed to Progressed Sun (being happy, but with some side notes);
- Transit Uranus opposed to Progressed Mercury (nervous aspect, indicating the plan to speed ahead and connected to accidents involving 'hurrying' and technical problems);
- SunArc Pluto square Mars/Vulcanus (a life in danger)
- Transit Mars septile Vulcanus (another indication for danger).
- In the lunar chart previous of her death Saturn is on the descendant and Neptune, ruler 4, is on her IC.
- The strange thing is that in the converse chart the progressed Sun is tightly trine natal Jupiter. Look at Dodi with Uranus trine progressed Sun. Maybe it tells us something about the rather quick way of dying.
- Conversed progression: Uranus inconjunct Pluto; Saturn is almost exactly opposition natal Moon, ruler 8.
- Mars is ruling the 8th solar return house and is conjunct the ascendant of that solar return for 1997.

There are no transits involving the ascendant or MC unless you change birth time into 19h46m22s in which case primary ascendant is sesquisquare Pluto and the progressed Mars is exactly moving from the ninth into the eight house. That is why I think she was born 80 seconds later than officially mentioned in her birth certificate.

All ingredients of the conjunction of Mars, Uranus and Pluto in the birth chart are mixed up on that dramatic day!

MORE PLUTO
Pluto is on top with Venus/Ascendant for the power of being beautiful and being married. Pluto is disposing the 12th house of discretion and secrets and in the 9th house of publishing. Pluto is part of the Yod with Jupiter and of the small tine with Sun and Neptune . Diana was an idol (Sun-Neptune effect) and that was even more so after she died (Pluto). Pluto is semi square the MC. So her position was in a negative way related to life and death, money and power and sex...A lot of people already seem to have forgotten that in the beginning the gossip magazines did not stop talking about the way Diana and Sarah Fergusson were spending heavy lots of money!

And that brings us back to Pluto on top in a Cinderella degree...
=====================================================================================
On Tuesday, December 18, 2007 I wrote in this blog:
DIANA - DODI:
A Mars-Mars and Jupiter-MC connection

Diana and Dodi: they must have made each other happy. Notice that his Jupiter squares her MC, while her Jupiter is conjunct his MC. I wonder it that could have prevented a row in the end. Her Mars is exactly square to his. Remember the charts of Paul and Heather? Her Mars inconjunct his...It must be attractive in the beginning but it might turn into fighting each other later when two temparements test their qualities.
=====================================================================================

DODI's FINAL DAY
On his last day, Dodi Al Fayed had a tight aspect of transit Uranus (ruler progressed 8th house of life and death) trine the progressed Sun. That could be read as an easy and swift change. Notice that on that day Mercury is tightly semi square Uranus (for a hurry) and Saturn is tightly inconjunct Saturn. Saturn is conjunct the descendant in his natal chart and in Scorpio, square Pluto. That is the same sort of combination that I found in the charts of other victims of traffic accidents. Another bad sign is Pluto opposition Mars, within 2 minutes of orb! And perhaps the fact that Saturn is close to the MC in his solar return chart for 1997.

The oriental Moon in 9 is opposition Jupiter ruler 8 and that is the tightest aspect in his natal chart. We could read this as the woman from abroad and the collission that ended his life, but it refers to being used to travelling a lot.
Saturn square Pluto in Scorpio and the Ascendant related to the midpoint Saturn/Pluto is corresponding again with the victims of traffic who's charts I studied.

GREENSPAN AND BERNANKE: Who is in charge?

Alan Greenspan keeps doing his old job. Every now and then he warns for a recession, and he does not seem to have much confidence in his successor, Bernanke, even though they both have a combination of Sagittarius and Pisces in their charts. This combination of Sagittarius and Pisces is symbolic for speculations (and for everything that one can be convinced of, without seeing it). They might have succesfull visions, too.

Two years ago Alan Greenspan stopped (did he?:) and Bernanke took his place.

Greenspan was born in NY on 6th March 1926 with Sun in Pisces, Moon Sagittarius and Jupiter rising before the Sun. Mercury is on Aries Point, and calling! Maybe that is why he cannot stop publishing (Jupiter) his ideas (Mercury).

Bernanke was born 13th December 1953 in Augusta, with Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in Pisces. In his chart Saturn is oriental. Mercury, Venus and Saturn are calling. He is much more carefull and less open than Alan Greenspan is. Transit Pluto is now semi square his progressed Sun and transit Saturn opposition progressed Mercury. It is a statement for meeting challenges and bad messages.

I think it is rather amusing how Greenspan does not seem to be able to step back in favour of Bernanke. Or should they work together as one? I wonder...

MARS IN ASPECT WITH URANUS

This article is about the aspect Mars-Uranus and the midpoint Mars/Uranus. It is the combination of the radical action. Fast and sometimes too fast actions are part of Mars and Uranus. The goal is to establish a change. It is the aspect of the revolutionary, the rebel and the independently operating soldier. Not surprisingly Mars/Uranus midpoint and Mars in aspect with Uranus are clearly shown in the charts of terrorists and freedom fighters. This aspect is also to be found in the charts of those causing accidents and involved in the crime scene. Arrests and operations belong to the Mars/Uranus combination. As an example: Frida Kahlo (6th July 1907 8h30 Coyoacan Mexico) had Mars conjunct Uranus. When young she suffered from a heavy accident that crippled her and later in life she was arrested and imprisoned for a while.

Here below you find several examples and a few to make you know that statistics do not work the other way around, and neither does astrology. Attention, also! Having such a clue as Mars-Uranus does not mean a person needs to become a terrorist or has to cause a bomb explosion. It is the other way around. The indication is apparently needed to create a terrorist or rebel.

The examples:
1. The 3 suicide killers of the London Subway Blast on 7th of July 2005 were born:

a. 20th October 1974 (Sun, Mars and Uranus conjunct, Sun conjunct the midpoint Mars/Uranus)
b. 16th September 1986 (Sun trine Mars, square Uranus),
c. 15th December 1980 (Sun conjunct Mars/Uranus).

Read more about that on my site Astromarkt.net...

2. Rote Armee Fraction
Gudrun Enssling was a terrorist as a member of the Rote Armee Fraction. Born 15th of August 1940 at 18 hour in Bartholom. Mars makes an almost exact square with Uranus and Uranus squares the midpoint Sun/Mars.

3. Begin (16081913 060000 LMT Brest-Litovsk)
Menachem Begin started his political carreer as a terrorist. He had Sun sesquiquadrate Mars/Uranus.

4. William of Orange (the first, 24041533 085000 LMT Dillenburg)
Willem van Oranje (William the Silent) has Sun conjunct Mars/Uranus in the natal chart.

5. Mohammed B. (murdered Theo van Gogh, born 8th of March 1978)
(Recently called the leader of the Hofstadgroup and in prison now. Mohammed B. has Sun trine Mars and trine Uranus and that Sun is making an opposition within 2 degrees of orb with Mars/Uranus.
Mohammed B.'s Saturn is right in between Mars and Pluto of his victim Theo van Gogh. His Mars is on the midheaven of Theo van Gogh and his Pluto conjunct the Ascendant of Van Gogh. We see a double combination of violent death: Mars-Saurn-Pluto.)

6. Samir A. (member of the Hofstadgroup, born 27th July 1968)
Mars squares Sun/Uranus.

7. Osama Bin Laden (10th of March 1957)
Mars conjunct Sun/Uranus

The Sun square Saturn and Mars square Pluto and Saturn quindecile Pluto: a combination for using hard violence. Fifty percent in watersigns: to be influenced and involved too much, a desire to belong. Sun square Sarturn and sesquisquare Uranus: limited freedom. No placements in airsigns and an afflicted Mercury: not always reasonable. Mercury square Saturn in Sagittarius: not always telling the truth about being strickt in applying the religious rules. These are observations of the positions for the day that Osama Bin Laden is supposed to be born. That was on March 10 1957 in Jeddah (time unknown) according to the CIA. On that day there are combinations for success, but there are also indicatons for limitations of freedom and for hard confrontations. Yet, the narrowest aspect is Mercury conjunct Venus: he is a communication talent.
Add this with being rich and with his fundamental religious education when he was a lonely teenager, mix this with the time and culture of his whereabouts, see this in comparisson with the charts of terrorist....and there is Osama.

ACCIDENTS
Explanation:
Mars with Uranus is an explosive combination. Mars is energy, Uranus is the spark. Uranus is also the planet of ‘now or never’. Two explosives coming together to execute radical solutions… Somtimes the one with these indications becomes the victim of an accident (perhaps as a result of being hasty). This was the case with the next persons. Mind you: it take at least three indications for heavy accidents!

You read day-month-year…

23-1-1943 Uranus sesquiquadrate Sun/Mars
16-10-1967 Mars square Uranus
12-12-1974 Mars semisextilel Uranus
5-1-1969 Mars semissextile Uranus
23-1-1943 Uranus sesquiquadrate Sun/Mars
16-5-1959 Mars wide square Uranus
10-06-1991 Uranus opposition Sun/Mars
16-10-1967 Mars exactly square Uranus
19-11-1950 (murdered) Mars exactly opposition Uranus


The statistic component: the examples of the contrary
(any statistic has exceptions and it takes at least three indications for a heavy effect!)


Exceptions and examples without accidents (in this case 'renewers' or people doing something special):
1. Albert Schweitzer had Mars on Sun/Uranus.
2. Abraham Lincoln had Uranus on Sun/Mars
3. Anthony Bell (invented the phone) had Mars square Uranus
4. Sigmund Freud (Mars sesquiquadrate Sun/Uranus)
5. Willem van Hanegem (Dutch football player - soccer-, Mars conjunct Uranus)
6. Patrick Kluivert (football player - soccer - and involved in 2 heavy accidents – one killing a person, Uranus square Sun/Mars)
7. Van Nistelrooy (born the same day as Kluivert, Uranus square Sun/Mars)
8. Betty Friedan (Uranus conjunct Sun/Mars)
9. Coretta King (Mars square Uranus)
10. Machiavelli (Mars inconjunct Uranus)
11. Keith Richard (Mars conjunct Uranus; well, he did fall out of a tree:)

Conclusion :
Ebertin calls Mars/Uranus the principle of sudden effort and sociological: the freedom fighter or revolutionary. Accidents, injuries and operations are part of the meaning of Mars/Uranus. Harmonically it does indicate the good result of a dangerous situation. People with these aspects will not give in easily and be rebellious. Those are characteristics that might cause accidents. Combined with the Sun life can change drastically due to an accident, arrest or in the case of women a birth or pregnancy.

It takes more then one aspect or midpoint combination always! That does not make astrology an easy subject to statistics. But perhaps these examples clarify that Mars-Uranus stands for the unexpected action to bring a radical solution and that action sometimes collides with the life and will of others or with the law.

PS
Moussaoui, born 30th of May 1968 in Saint Jean de Luz, France took part in the preparations of the attacks op 9-11. This terrorist also has a connection between these planets. Natal Sun is conjunct Mars and square Pluto. Mars is (widely) square Uranus and is semi square the midpoints Sun/Uranus and Sun/Pluto. The mark of a man who wants to make changes with struggle and violence.

BIRTH CHART OF DALAI LAMA 14

Mars, the planet of war and attacks, is on the birthday chart of Dalai Lama number 14 (born July 6 1935 at sunrise in Taktser, according to Astrodatabank). He is the spiritual leader of Tibet and Tibet is strugling for freedom right now. So that fits? I wonder. I have seen many places of birth and many hours, too, for the chart of the Dalai Lama. One is that of Chinghai, 16h22m36s GMT (so in the evening; source is my computer program Astrolab - ILH-4) and another one (Astrology Weekly) tells us that he is born in Tengster (could be Taktser, same coordinates) at 11:45 Local Meridian Time (about 5 a.m. GMT). Star IQ names 4:38 a.m., Tengstar (...) and Astrothème 4:38 AM Tengster Village. So let us agree whit sunrise in a place 101d12 North and 36d32 East in Tibet. I think, however, that this might be a manipulated birth time, just to get 'LEADER' in capitals (Sun conjunct Ascendant). À true spiritual leader, because the Sun is trine Jupiter and sextile Neptune (ruler MC). And a respected one: Sun trine Saturn. Abstination of female company and being taken away from his mother and family so young: Moon conjunct Neptune and opposition Saturn.

And we see a 'calling' Mars: a call for action. Uranus is oriental (one of the helping symbols for getting old). We see Mars and Uranus prominent for freedom fighter.

Now this Dalai Lama certainly isnot the kind of man to sit and wait. China accuses him of leading the protests against the occupation of Tibet by China. Tibet is completely different from China and one might wonder what the Chinese are doing there. I don't know, all I know is that the world accepts it.

With an MC in Pisces spiritual goals are on his way and as Mercury is the end dispositor of the MC-routing communicating is his 'ambition'. He knows his languages! We also see Saturn in the ninth house for the heavy load that conviction and religion lays upon him. I often point at the combination Jupiter-Neptune for religion. This time I like to point at Sun tightly square the midpoint Jupiter/Neptune, confirmed by Jupiter square Sun/Neptune and Neptune conjunct Sun/Jupiter. His day of birth was thé day for the birth of spiritual persons.

Will his country ever be free? I doubt it. But there is one good sign. On his birthday the solar return (4th July 2008, 13h15 GMT for Taktser, he lives in India, close to Tibet, in Dharamsala,) Venus instead of Mars is on the descendant. And Venus is for peace.
