Wanted: Dutch FARC member Tanja Nijmeijer

Tanja Nijmeijer has been charged for kidnapping. The USA wants her. She is a Dutch member of FARC (the Columbian terrorists who kidnapped Ingrid Betancourt and many more) and she is still in the Columbian jungle. What in the positions of her day of birth indicates why she left home to spend the rest of her life in the jungle?

Tanja Nijmeijer is an Aquarius with Sun inconjunct the 'calling' (not aspected) Mars. Maybe that is just enough. But let's go through it one by one.

1. Drives, activism, the military, adventure...that is Mars. And when Mars is 'calling' you just can't resist adventure. 

2. Sun inconjunct Mars says that her life is related to unbalanced drives and adventures and that she may even loose her life in a battle. 

3. Neptune is rising before the Aquarian Sun. She is an idealist, a dreamer who wants to change the world. 

4. Neptune is related to Venus and Mars in a golden Yod and the finger is (again) pointing at the god of war: Mars. This golden yod says that there is a romantic passion leading to fighting and war...


Even without an hour of birth it is clear that this will be someone who 'goes for it'  when her ideals are involved. For this she crosses borders and lines....That is because of the Sun-Saturn affliction. 

Her progressed Sun is inconjunct Saturn (a very difficult aspect) and transit Uranus is almost conjunct progressed Sun now that the USA charges her. It might just be the end of an adventure. In the natal chart the Sun is opposition Saturn, resonating the responsibility that is part of that jungle game. When Saturn and Uranus meet in a chart, there is always the issue of   limited freedom and the urge to break free, or the end of freedom. Now that she is on an official 'wanted' list there is little chance that she will manage to get out of the Colombian jungle alive and/or as a free person.

Time's number 1 news item of 2010: the arrest of Joran van der Sloot

The arrest of Joran van der Sloot is Time's news of the year 2010.  For astrologers the most interesting point is that the interaction of positions in the charts of Natalee Holloway and Joran van der Sloot is very much in line with the circumstances (a sexual encounter ending in violence).

SYNASTRY

She has Mars square Pluto and sextile Saturn in her chart. That is a combination for danger of early death. His Pluto is square her Mars and that shows the issue of use or abuse of violence or force (sexual intimidation). Her Venus is square his Mars for passion. 

TRANSITS

There are even more violent connections between the charts on the day of Natalee's death.

And: on the day that Natalee Holloway vanished Joran van der Sloot had transit Mars sesquisquare Pluto! 

There was a lot of interaction with Mars and Pluto in their charts and there were transits between Mars and Pluto on that tragic day. 

- When she disappeared Natalee had transit Mars semi square Mars and sesquisquare Pluto, activating the dangerous Mars-Pluto connection in her natal chart. 

- Joran had Pluto conjunct Uranus that day and sesquisquare Venus. He also had T Mars sesquisquare Pluto

So coincidentallythey had the same sort of transit on the same day (Mars-Pluto) added with the aspects they already shared. And Mars-Pluto is a dangerous combination.

And... when he was arrested for killing another woman (Stephany Flores) Joran van der Sloot had again Pluto in aspect with natal AND progressed Mars. 

See all posts about Joran van der Sloot on this blog here...(via Google) or use the label Van der Sloot. Here is a guess chart of Van der Sloot (no hour of birth available) with the positions of the day of birth of Natalee Holloway (the transits).

The similarities of the charts of Bradley Manning and Julian Assange

Private Bradley Manning is in jail, just like Julian Assange, but they are in a different situation. The difference is that Assange is being supported by millions and in the UK and that he is a journalist (with the rights involved). Bradley Manning however is in the USA, he faces years if not life in prison for leaking information as a soldier. They are alike in a few ways (Wikileaks, arrested and in prison now). Their charts also happen to be alike, in at least four ways. Both have a Sun-Uranus and Mars-Pluto aspect, the Scorpio Moon and Saturn rising before the Sun. What does it mean? What does it mean that they share these positions? 

I think that the similar positions are resonating the joined forces and that it means:

a. that they are/were both 'outsiders' (estranged, not part of the usual network) b. with a need for challenges and c. with a certain amount of ambition. Also, both charts show the issue of the use and abuse of power and influence (Mars-Pluto) and ... the theme of having to defend yourself.  

When people share the same aspects, they share the same issues and that often creates a strong bond (real or not). Sharing Sun-Uranus in a team means joined rebellion. Sharing the same moonsign feels like being soulmates. And when two persons have Mars-Pluto in their charts they'd better be in the same team, joining forces, or they might fight each other intensily. Hillary Clinton also has Mars conjunct Pluto. And we know that Assange wants her to resign.

Prince Charles yesterday

First there were the polls (about the people wanting William instead of him to be the next King) and yesterday the car of Prince Charles and Princess Camilla got stuck in the middle of student riots (see the Huffington Post). You'd expect something (but not too much) in the chart. Nothing really changed, nobody got hurt. That is perhaps the reason why there is only one transit: transit Pholus is on the progressed IC (opposition Midheaven). Pholus-MC is the symbol of the turning point in a status or position, but often in retroperspective. In the progressed chart of Prince Charles the Sun is almost conjunct Pholus. (Transit Pholus is almost opposition the progressed Midheaven of the B-rated chart of Camilla, too.) 
Here you see the chart and the global reading of the chart of Prince Charles. Continue for more…

Videla, Saturn and Uranus

I have written several posts about limitations of freedom as a central issue in the charts and lives of persons with a prominent Saturn-Uranus complex. (Use the label 'Saturn Uranus' to see them all and see the links to older posts below). A new example of this combination of freedom, restrictions and the struggle in between is Jorge Videla (August 2, 1925). Recently he has been sentenced to jail for his part in the disappearances and deaths of thousands of young opponents of his severe regime.

TO BE RESTRICTED

Jorge Rafael Videla is the former leader of the junta in Argentina. In his chart the Sun is square Saturn and sesquisquare Uranus with Uranus opposition the midpoint Sun/Saturn (and Saturn-Uranus in a sesquisquare). The combination of Saturn-Uranus, highlighted by the aspect with the Sun, is the combination of limited freedom. That is correct. He is in jail now.

TO RESTRICT

His junta was guilty of many crimes and restricted the freedom of the people. Not all of the crimes have been solved, yet. This is the chart of the day that Videla was born. The positions of his birthday contain a lot of information about the potentials and possibilities of suppression, like Sun square Saturn (managing to be in charge, preferably on your own). He is not the only dictator with a Sun-Saturn aspect. Chavez has it, too. The natal Sun of Videla is also sesquisquare Uranus. That makes Saturn-Uranus (the theme of the restricted liberty) an issue in his life.

AND:

• The chart lacks placements in air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius). Communications at any possible level, and sometimes you can't argue with him (he is not reasonable), that is what it means...
• The ambition is obvious with Sun in Leo and Moon in Capricorn*) , but he is also controversial (Sun sesquisquare Uranus.
• Pluto rises before the Sun. That is for a strategic and political orientation. He started with looking forward to having much (Jupiter’s opposition to Pluto) power and influence.
• Mars inconjunct Uranus for the drive to change and revolt with a lost in the end.

In fact, the chart shows an ambitious strategist with an urge to make immediate changes (with the risk to loose the fight in the end) and with the issue of restrictions as a main theme in his life.

He happened to be a general and he happened to become a president (with the support of many, mirrored by the Moon's aspects with Jupiter and Pluto) so that he was enabled to fully take hard and immediate measures (Sun square Saturn and Mars 75 degrees from Saturn, and inconjunct Uranus). You can see acts (Mars) to restrict freedom (Saturn and Uranus), to be limited in independence and freedom and/or to break free (Saturn-Uranus). It is a dangerous chart when it is the chart of a leading politician.

*) Sun Leo (wants to be in the center of attention), Moon Capricorn (need to be respected), Sun square Saturn (wants to be in charge)
