Sochi Winter Games, chart of the start

Soon there will be the kick off for the Winter Games of Sochi, 2014. It seems that the men and women who are to compete have nice accommodations but that the journalists have to deal with unfinished hotels sometimes. Never mind, the show must go on! Let's have a look at the chart of the kick off.

The official starting moment of the Olympics in Sochi is Friday, February 7 at 20:14 hours local time, with Mercury square Midheaven and conjunct Neptune on the Descendant, opposition Pallas.

Here is the chart for that moment with the planet of achievement, competition and fighting (Mars) without major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees. When Mars is 'calling' there will be efforts at any possible level. The other side is that there might be aggression or attacks, too. ,The Moon in Gemini elevated and sesquisquare Venus and Pluto (rising before the Sun), hopefully intensifying the good mood. The Venus-Pluto conjunction in the 5th house of games and entertainment is still opposition Jupiter in the 11th. Perhaps the costs and the price of the games are higher than was to be expected.

And here is the chart for President Putin on that specific day.

There are 3 important aspects:

transit Jupiter quindecile Mars
transit Jupiter trine Venus
These two transits of Jupiter mirror growing passion. The first transit shows a strong focus (if not obsession) to succeed and for a party.

transit Saturn square Pluto is more complicated (read about the boomerang effect here: http://astromarkt.net/saturn-in-aspect-with-pluto.html ). This transit shows the danger of the nasty sides of politics. The good thing about this transit is that it has already been exact when the games start. Saturn-Pluto combinations are frequent in the charts of individual sports men and women.

I very much hope for safe games with a happy ending for all involved and maybe even a good influence for the sake of Russian homosexuals and for the people of Sochi.

Chart of Woody Allen and the abuse accusations

Dylan Malone's open letter in the New York Times accuses Woody Allen (again) of child abuse, shortly after receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony on January 12, 2014. What transits and progressions go along with such a moment?

First: Who is Dylan?
Dylan was 7 years old when she told her adoptive mother Mia Farrow, that Woody Allen - whom she had a living apart together relationship with - had abused her. Her mother believed her, but psychologists said they didn't and the judge believed them more.  Here are the transits and progression for May 13, 1994, the day of the verdict. Watch Jupiter! Transit Jupiter is square the Progressed Sun of Woody Allen, showing the positive verdict.*) There is no such Jupiter right now.

DYLAN: JULY 1 or JULY 11?
The day of birth of Dylan is not clear. Some say July 1, but several sources mention July 11, 1985 for the day of birth of Dylan Malone Previn. So, let's say that it was 1985, so that 1992 (when Dylan was 7 years old and the incident happened) was the year that Woody Allen had transit Pholus (symbol of turning point and the risk of shooting your own feet) opposition his natal Mars. Mars is afflicted and in his 5th house of children, play and entertainment. Transit Pholus opposition Mars is a turning point in the field of Mars (that is: work, action, drives and sexual activities).  Later T Pholus was conjunct Pluto, mirroring the pyrrhic victory. It was the year of Pholus in aspect with Mars-Pluto.

 If Dylan was born on July 1 (as Lynn Hayes - AstrologicalMusings - says here, the synastry shows this:

a. her Sun in the 10th of Cancer is inconjunct his Sagittarius Sun
b. his Pholus is opposition her Sun

MARS-PLUTO in 5-11
Woody Allen's Mars in V is afflicted by Pluto XI. The 5th and 11th house are exactly the houses of natural children and adopted children/stepdaughters and sons. Mars-Pluto is the symbol of the drive to dominate and win, intensifying energy and aggression and sometimes mirrors the use and abuse of power, force and influence. It is a great aspect in sports (a Belgian athlete was born the same day), but it is a dangerous one, too (see Astromarkt on Mars-Pluto). Venus-Mars-Pluto combinations like in Woody Allen's chart intensify passions.

Regarding Mars in 5 (afflicted): He is not a playboylike Hugh Hefner, but just like the Playboy chief he likes to marry young women. That is OK in larger parts of the world, but when the woman is in fact an adopted stepdaughter, lots of eyebrows rise. 

In 1992 with transit Pholus aspecting Mars-Pluto in V-XI came the first accusation by Dylan. This certainly changed his relationship with Mia Farrow. The limit was that he married one of her adoptive daughters. Mia Farrow has two reasons to have doubts about Woody Allen: Dylan and Soon-Yi, so it is not surprising (given her prominent Mars) that she attacks him. For the record, here is Mia Farrow's chart of the moment (with T&P). Transit Neptune inconjunct her Progressed Moon shows disappointment and sadness.

MARRYING YOUR STEPH DAUGHTER
Woody Allen married Soon Yi, a daughter previously adopted by Mia Farrow and Alain Previn and part of the large family of adopted and natural children. After his marriage with Soon Yi, Allen again adopted two children.

Here is the synastry of Woody Allen and Soon Yi (they have been married for many years now). There is a Jupiter-Neptune connection (worshipping) and a Venus-Uranus synastry (falling in love again and again).

WOODY ALLEN TODAY: TURNING POINT
What transits and progression does a man have who was awarded one day and faces accusation the next? Like this:

Larger picture by click

We see the mix:
- Neptune has been conjunct Saturn lately (involuntary detachment)
- transit Uranus trine his Sun (a positive change)
- the progressed MC trine Sun (honor)

- transit Uranus square Pholus (unexpected turning point)
- progressed MC moving towards inconjunct Pholus (turning point with a loss involved, unbalancing change, losing status and shooting your own foot)
- transit Neptune square Mercury: that is the kind of aspect to expect when there is a rumor, miscommunications and/or accusations as transits of Neptune are always confusing (unclarity about the facts)

- and all that happens with the progressed Sun in the latest degrees of a sign, signal of changes in life and life style

We can't judge on the basis of astrology. 
Not, because Mercury-Neptune is the theme of miscommunications and not necessarily by the owner of the chart.
Not, because Mars-Pluto is just as frequent in the charts of those who have to deal with violent men or the impact of war or the pain caused by training.

Charts have to be seen in the light of the events. Charts don't judge, people do. You have to add circumstances, culture, gender, genes…and when it comes to two people: the interaction between their (progressed and natal) charts. So in the end, you only know what kind of aspects accompany accusations of child abuse.

It is unlikely that Woody Allen would be prosecuted again, because there is no physical evidence and Dylan seems to be the only one who accuses Allen of child abuse. It might remain a mystery that is hanging over Woody Allen like a dark cloud and is a tragedy for all involved. Only Woody and Dylan know the truth, so it is a  matter of believe. That is very Neptune, the 'calling' planet in Woody Allen's chart.

How odd to set this man in the lime light with an award,  knowing that there is such a controversy! It is the same as with Roman Polanski of whom they said that it was so typically French to support a man in spite of his possibly controversial sex life. It's not so typical at all:). And just like in Polanski's case, the award had a price: spotlights on the accusations again...

A Sun-Venus aspect in the composite chart didn't overrule the Mars conjunct Mars (fire and fighting)

Roman Polanski's natal chart also has a Mars-Pluto conflict (a square) with Venus involved. During positive transits of Jupiter he was allowed to go to Switzerland to receive a prize

Chinese New Year 2014 chart

Here are 3 New Years charts for China (capital city) for 3 important moments. Which New Year's chart would you like?

1. The first chart is the chart of Chinese Lunar New Year, on January 31, 2014 at 0 hours. 

Click for a larger picture

Chinese New Year is always on the day of the second new moon after the December solstice, with the Sun in Aquarius. Chinese astrology signs last for a year. This year will be the year of the Horse (see Wikipedia), a wooden horse. The description of the character of people born in the year of the Horse (communicative) makes me think of Gemini . In Western astrology horses are related to Jupiter (and Jupiter to Sagittarius and - classical astrology - to Pisces).

(see: http://www.travelchinaguide.com/intro/social_customs/zodiac/horse.htm )

For more Chinese astrology fortune telling, see: http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/2014.htm

2. The second one is the chart of January 1, 2014 at 0 hours, first day of the Western calendar. The Western calendar doesn't relate to the position of Sun or Moon.

Click for a larger picture

3. The third one is the December solstice chart 2013 (that is when the Sun is at 0 degrees Capricorn).

And in all 3, Jupiter is elevated. Jupiter happens to be the symbol of the horse.

Aquarian Astrologer Louis de Wohl and 10873

In the series of astrologers and sun signs it is now time for the astrologer born under Aquarius. I refound Louis de Wohl, German astrologer born January 24, 1903 (picture on astrology.co.uk). In the earlier article on his chart on this blog I wrote about Jupiter and Uranus:

De Wohl was a true astrologer. Jupiter and Uranus are vital components in the charts of astrologers and De Wohl has a lot of indications pointing at Jupiter and Uranus. The Ascendant is in a Yod with Jupiter and Uranus. Mercury is aspected by Jupiter and Uranus. The MC is tightly connected with Jupiter and Uranus . Jupiter is semi square Sun/Uranus. And the MC-routing ends in the mutual reception of Jupiter and Uranus. He was recruted with transit Uranus square progessed Ascenand and the progressed MC sextile Jupiter and semi square Pluto.

Amazing how I can't seem to find more famous astrologer born under Aquarius, supposedly the sign of astrology:). I opened and closed numerous files on Astrodatabank and ended with the chart of Astrologer 10873, gender unknown, born on February 17, 1948 with Sun in the 29th degree of Aquarius sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius. Jupiter is prominent (rising before the Sun) and is opposition Uranus. I don't know if he still has a practice and apparently he hasn't published about astrology, but at least: he was interested and offered readings. The Jupiter-Uranus pattern is there.

In what way De Wohl demonstrated being an Aquarian astrologer (and not, say, a Taurus)? I think it is in the application of astrology as a new technique in war times:).
