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

The chart of the crash and death of Randy Rhoads

Randy Rhoads was born to be a rock star. The 'calling' Sun was biquintile his Ascendant. He played the guitar and had just begun to play in Ozzy Osbourne's band. On March 19, 1982 he was in a small plane that crashed into flames. The pilot had crashed before and was under the influence of cocaine.

Here is the chart, with transits and progressions for the fatal day:

- Transit Saturn exactly square the natal Ascendant (bad luck, ends)
- Transit Pholus exactly conjunct Midheaven (he was on a turning point in life)
- Transit Pholus trine ruler 8 Uranus in 1
- Transit Mars was opposition natal Mars

Mars in the case of Jodi Arias and Travis Alexander

The case of the murder of Travis Alexander (see Wikipedia) is a rare case of brutal violence against a man, committed by a woman (Jodi Arias). It made me think of the John Wayne Bobbitt case (his lover cut off his penis, see link), of the Mars-Uranus effect and of more examples of Mercury inconjunct Neptune, but most of all of Mars.

Killings, murders and accidents never happen because of just one aspect. In this case it is also a combination of a rather aggressive woman with possible psychiatric problems and a short sexual relationship that never should have had a second episode. Mars is the symbol of cutting, shooting, firing and sex. With Mars, it is often playing with fire...

Why is Mars so important here?

1. Mars is prominent in Jodi Arias chart.
Her Mars is opposition Aries Point and 'calling' (without major narrow aspects). It is for drive, aggression, work, energy and sex at any possible level and for being known to the public related to men or a man.

2. Mars is also important in the interaction between her chart and the chart of Travis Alexander. The distance between their Mars is 112.5 degrees (90+22.5, square + half semi square). This minor aspect with major impact shows the fire and later anger between them. See the post on Mars-Mars synastry...

3. Progressed Sun semi square Mars when she killed him.
When Jodi Arias killed Travis Alexander her progressed Sun was semi square Mars. Remember my post on Mars-Sun and Sun-Mars progressions ('manifest aggression')? Here is the link. When the progressed Sun meets Mars or vice versa it is time to stand up for yourself, to act, to show your anger and drive. But when this happens to someone with a prominent Mars who is in a bad mental state, accidents, incidents and fights may happen. It also highlights sex(Mars)life(Sun).

4. There is a Mars-Uranus issue:
- Bobbitt has Mars novile Uranus.
- Travis Alexander has Mars inconjunct Uranus.
- Arias has a prominent Mars septile Uranus.
Two short fuses meet and explode?

5. Her Mars is quindecile (165d) Eris. That is a statement for a strong focus on what makes WAR: obsessively driven by discord. 

6. His Eris is also quindecile her Mars (as they are about the same age*).

Here are the positions on her day of birth and in transit his. You may notice that they don't match much.

MORE ON CHART OF ARIAS
In my opinion you can't read Arias' chart as you read the charts of 'normal' persons. She seems to have a psychiatric problem. In those cases the hard aspects are harder and the soft aspects contribute to the realization of the potential in the hard aspects. There is that obsessive anger. For example: there is Sun square Pluto for the fanatic and intense living person. Her Saturn is square Alexander's Venus and Venus-Saturn sticks like glue. Her Neptune is sesquisquare his Sun and that is very confusing.

The second most narrow aspect is Mercury inconjunct Neptune. When there is doubt about a verdict or a statement in a criminal case, Mercury-Neptune pops up (see the examples). It is the aspect of the confused mind, and the unclear facts. It may be clear that Jodi Arias killed Travis Alexander, but she says that it was because he abused her (and she happened to carry a gun with her…). We will never know what exactly happened between them, but we know that she shot and stabbed him (more than 20 times) and that she was stalking him before that happened.

Here is the chart with transits and progressions for the day of the murder:

CHART TRAVIS ALEXANDER
Travis Alexander's chart has three interesting components:

1. Jupiter rises before the sun, narrowly conjunct Venus. That is a statement for having a party and
being lucky in love (with women).

2. Uranus is square the Sun and inconjunct Mars.
Unusual, sudden sex and experimental sex techniques CAN be related to this aspect combination. You may wonder why, if she was already stalking him, he took the risk to have sex with her. Mars inconjunct Uranus acts on impulse and that is risky.

3. Sun is sesquisquare Pholus. See the post on Pholus = Phallus: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2012/07/mars-pholus-and-phallus-male-supremacy.html
A sesquisquare is frustrating. Sun-Pholus is the combination of the turning point in life.

Here is the chart with progressions and transits for the day of his death:

*) Jodi Arias had an affair with an older man before she met Travis Alexander. In that affair, the quindecile between Mars and Eris was wider.

PS
It is  a bit strange that her name is Arias. It looks like Aries and in fact, she has an important Mars.

"...the symbol of fantasy is Neptune. Neptune is also the symbol of what is 'unlimited'. And fake. Mercury-Neptune hides facts (remains silent), invents facts or simply misunderstands the information and is confused. Lying with a Mercury-Neptune is easy and is done by giving misty information or by 'pretending' facts.
Sometimes people with a prominent Mercury-Neptune combination in their charts become the victim of false information or others simply don't believe what they are saying because it sounds like if the person is inventing it (thinking too long, known for having a fantasy etc....). (…)

When Mars kicks you

Today I published a new article on Astromarkt.net about Mars in synastry. I mentioned the interview that the Dutch royal couple gave on television. She said that she kicked her husband under the table because he almost told the press a secret about the date of the abdication of his mother, Queen Beatrix. Funny story, also because her Mars is exactly square his Sun. For more about that, and for the ways that Mars will pop up in your business, football or love relationship, see the article.

When someone kicks you, you feel the pain. Mars kicks you when a transit of Mars hits (sic...) your Ascendant or  Sun. They sometimes kick you out of a job when Mars hits your Midheaven. If there are no serious afflictions around, you simply go to the dentist with such an aspect.

Mars is in the final degree of Aries now, exactly at 29Aries12 now that I write this, about to change sign to Taurus. When you have your Sun, Ascendant or Midheaven in the 30st degree of Aries, you might now feel the pain or the kick! Mars is the symbol of the energy that could actually get you into space to Mars and of what it costs you to get there: effort, pain and energy. Sometimes that is just too much for a partnership and then it crashes...

Mars, crime and aspects

Last and this week there was a lot of publicity (well, where I am!:) because of a murder case and the publication of names, days of birth and pictures of the suspects. A 46 year old jeweler was brutally shot two times during a robbery on April 25, 2012 in The Hague and he died. One of the suspects fled to his home country and turned himself in later (in that country). He admitted to be the killer, on local TV.

Charts  don't tell it all. Neither do circumstances or situations. As usual, there is a mixture of positions of his day of birth (October 6, 1992) and circumstances (lack of family control, early contact with the police) explaining what happened. The day of birth has tight aspects like: Mars quare Uranus and Mars inconjunct Saturn. Sun is square Mars, square Uranus and trine Saturn. Uranus is semi sextile Saturn. 
You can easily see the combination of restricted freedom (Saturn-Uranus), short fuse (Mars-Uranus), dead end (Mars-Saturn: the killer had Mars inconjunct Saturn = dead end with a loss involved) and being a macho (Sun-Mars). Just use the label ‘crime’ or ‘criminality’ to find examples of terrorists, killers and dictators with similar aspect combinations. See the aspects, add gender, age, circumstances and his history and what you get is a potential risk for society. 

Of course, the natal positions don’t just show the aggression. You can also see Jupiter rising before the Sun: the traveler. He immigrated at age 1. You can see Sun-Uranus for being an alien in his homeland and in the new country, an outsider. You can see Mercury ‘calling’ (communications somehow, anyhow: he had to tell it on TV, anyway).

His companion was born on March 13. 1992 with his Jupiter conjunct the Sun of the killer (trust, protection). Both have Mars in the 12.5th (13^th degree) of Cancer. Mars conjunct Mars: fire, joined efforts and possible conflicts. The 13^th degree of Cancer happened to be a degree of disaster according to Janduz, who even mentioned bloodshed*). With Mars, there is an extra risk. An afflicted Mars is even more dangerous. At the time of the murder the progressed Mars of the killer was opposition the Sun of the jeweler. And his progressed Sun was trine the Saturn of the jeweler.

PS hundreds if not thousands have been born on March 6, 1992. They could be excellent in sports or techniques. They won't become a criminal just because of their day of birth. But if they do, it might be because of a short fuse, lack of control and the spotlights on fighting, competing and 'manhood'.

Mars, Eris and the chart of King Harald V

Transits with the chart of King Harald V are resonating the situation: bombs and shootings in a peaceful country. Mars is inconjunct his natal Mars. Eris in also inconjunct Mars. The midpoint of transit Mars/Eris is inconjunct natal Mars. And there is also transit Mars square his Saturn.  Mars-Eris-Saturn with Mars: it is the combination of a depressing act of aggression. The King of Norway was confronted with this today. See CNN for an impression.


1. MARS INCONJUNCT MARS
'Dreadfully cut up by it' is the translation of a Dutch word ' aangeslagen' a variety of 'aanslag' = attack. I see Mars inconjunct Mars in the chart of the Norwegian King Harald V today and tomorrow. He has been taken to a safe place, out of the palace in Oslo. When Mars hits your natal or progressed Mars there is always the risk to get hurt. If it is not your body, it is your mind...

2. ERIS INCONJUNCT MARS
There is a second indication for the events of today: Transit Eris is inconjunct Mars. Mars-Eris is the combination of an act of war (see the chart of Pearl Harbor). Mars is the symbol of aggression. Eris is the symbol of discord. When they join forces, there is aggressive discord. 

3. MARS SQUARE SATURN
Mars square Saturn is an attack on the status quo and a sometimes deadly combination. In the king's natal chart Mars is exactly trine Saturn. That means that he is a disciplined person, seriously doing his duty and acting with caution. 

Here is the chart of the King of Norway. Like many other royals he has an important Jupiter (angular, on the Descendant and rising before the Sun and Mercury). This is reflecting the international contacts (and traveling) and the privileged position that royals have. Ceres (symbol of the dynasty) is 'calling' and quindecile the angular Moon in Cancer, ruler 1. That seems to be an appropriate discription of the importance of inheritance and genes. There is also an important  Venus square Ascendant, elevated. All pleasant positions for a pleasant kingdom and a beautiful country, now upset by terror.
