Magic Mike XXL in Channing Tatum's chart

Actor Channing Tatum’s chart has Venus Out of Bounds (27d19m20s N). This perfectly demonstrates how important his looks are. There is more in his chart that helped him to become a model. His astrological profile is in line with other attractive males. 

Attractive males often have Venus in Virgo or Capricorn and Saturn in aspect with Venus or Ascendant and placements in Taurus and Libra, too. That is what I said and you see the examples in the article :http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2008/09/male-attraction-venus-saturn-taurus-and.html.

 Channing Tatum’s hour of birth is unknown. That means that the position of his Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven are unknown. But at least we know that Magic Mike XXL has:

Sun in Taurus!

Venus exactly square Saturn!

Moon in either Virgo or Libra

Male sex symbols have this…

It is not enough to be a good looking, 'cool' guy. This male sex symbol also drew attention. On the day of his birth, Sun in Taurus didn’t make major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees. That is a ‘calling’ Sun! When Sun's are not aspected in a chart, this person will somehow (anyhow) seek attention. 

You also need to be on the right place at the right moment and have a nice progressed chart. In 2005/2006 (debute and break through) his progressed Sun changed sign to make a square with Jupiter. A progressed Sun changes sign when your life style changes. Jupiter is the symbol of success, progression and growth. When the progressed Sun makes an aspect with Jupiter you progress in life. Or grow XXLJ:)

Right now, his progressed chart has Sun square Mars, to highlight his male energy. With Sun square Mars you are likely to be driven, energetic and (if your gender allows it) purely male. 

Perhaps his chart with hour of birth reveals more  about his career. Here is his chart without DOB. It is the chart of the day of birth (in the USA). 

Watch swinging Venus in Gemini! (see: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2015/05/swinging-gemini-using-hands-and-feet.html )

PS ON OOB VENUS

In England, Marlon King (see Wikipedia) was born on the same day. He is in jail now (for reckless driving) and his football contract has been cancelled following accusations of sexual assault. In 2005 (Progressed Sun square Jupiter, for success, like Chaning) he was top scorer. There is a Mars square Uranus aspect for speeding in this chart, too. You see, it is up to you (and your situation/circumstances) what you do with life. Perhaps it is also in the hour and place of birth and the placement of Mars. And in the fact that OOB Venus lacks control. 

An OOB Venus is like a 'calling' Venus (Venus without major aspects): somehow, anyhow you want to enjoy yourself, look good and have fun. It can be done on a high level of esthetics or in the world of entertainment. Or you just want to please yourself. 

PS In this chart there is also a Mercury-Pluto-Saturn combination in the chart of April 26, 1980. That is for strategy in communications (and almost in every politician's chart). There are multiple choices to be made and of course they are limited by social circumstances and the hour/place of birth with crucial placements.

Edward Snowden's chart today

Edward Snowden, says an official, has blood on his hands. British and American spies had to be ‘rescued’ because Snowden handed over millions of files. He says that he did that to show that the West is violating human rights by spying civilians. He told us all what we already suspected: Big Brother Is Watching Us. It is been 1984 and he proved it. That makes him a hero in the eyes of millions. Later he fled to Russia (via China), a country where journalists are being murdered if they dare to criticize the leader, Vladimir Putin. Though he was a candidate for the Nobel Prize and has many fans and followers, he also made strong and powerful enemies. He gave away classified documents. Those documents were hacked (by Russia and China) and it is said that this enabled possible enemies to hurt the West (see http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/National/article1568673.ece). 

So, we have a controversial whistleblower. 

Whistleblowers are activists revealing secrets or scandals. 

The chart of Snowden is in line with that. It is the chart of an activist (Mars OOB rising before the Sun). He may be involved in scandals (Sun opposition Neptune), too. 

Here is the chart with transits and progressions for now,  June 14, 2015:

Today we see:

1. transit Pholus square his progressed Midheaven (a nasty turning or trigger point) 

2. the progressed Sun sextile Chiron (shows ‘hurt’)

3. the progressed Sun in the final degree of Cancer. Final degrees of a sign are like the clock pointing at 5 minutes to 12: the moment that live and life style is due to change. His life already changed in a big way in this astrological period of change. 

NATAL CHART

The chart of Snowden is that of a Gemini with a strong personality (Moon in Scorpio*). The OOB Mars rising before the Sun tells us about a person who is first of all an activist, at any possible level. The Mercury-Uranus opposition on the chart’s horizon mirrors the dawning of a mental controversy and differences of opinion. This is an important aspect in the chart, as Uranus is the ruler of Midheaven and Mercury is the ruler of the Ascendant. The rulers of the corner stones of the chart are in conflict with each other, demonstrating the importance of freedom of thinking and freedom of speech .

Sun-Neptune oppositions may be day dreaming idealists and sometimes escapists (http://www.cafeastrology.com/natal/sunneptuneaspects.html ) The chart of Snowden has Sun opposition Neptune. Well, he actually escaped…

The aspects of the Sun with Neptune and Pluto enables discretion and secrecy, while Sun opposite Neptune raises the issue of identity and possible ‘double life’.

The chart shows an activist with a strong and controversial opinion, maybe not all too clear about himself. In fact, that is what he is.

More on the chart of Snowden on Astropost: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2013/06/view-on-astro-chart-of-edward-snowden.html

ALIENATION

Minor aspects, major impact, I use to say. In Snowden’s chart the Sun is 157.5 degrees from Uranus (a sesquisquare + half semi square). The Sun-Uranus aspect is about alienation (estrangement) and being an outsider or stranger in your own world. In Russia, he is. In the USA, he was. The fact that to many persons in his own country he is a traitor and in Russia he is a stranger in exile matches with the Sun-Uranus minor aspect. You wouldn’t (and apparently the State of the USA couldn’t) immediately see that he was ‘different’, but he was and he is.

HERO?

It may depend on your political position how you see Edward Snowden. Is he a spie and traitor? Is he a hero? The chart doesn’t answer. The chart just shows us that there is a controversy regarding his person, an activist pur sang, and the question whether he is a hero or not, mirrored by Sun opposition Neptune.  Maybe he knows the answer to the Sun-Neptune question:

 “Am I who I think that I am, or am I who other’s think what I am?”

Signs of changing times

http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2009/06/astrological-signs-of-changing-times.html

With Sun in combination with Neptune and Pluto we see the combination of the 'silent' (or secret) force: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2008/06/neptune-and-pluto-combination-of-silent.html

Chart of the late Robin Williams

Robin Williams, a talented and beloved movie star, died yesterday. It was:

1. when the progressed Sun had entered the final degree of Virgo (about to change sign).
It means that life or lifestyle is about to change. The period before and just after the changing sign of the progressed sun is an unstable period.

2. when progressed Mars was exactly on his natal MC. Mars is in the natal 8th house of crisis (life and death)
In the natal chart Mars is rising before the Sun. It is a position for an activist, for a do-er, for someone who is not likely to sit back and wait for the good times.

3. with transit Saturn on the midpoint Ascendant/Midheaven and almost conjunct Sun/Moon midpoint. Saturn's crucial and highlighted position marks endings, setbacks, depressions...

4. when the retrograding transit Pluto had been (again) opposition natal Mars and Uranus (and was on the midpoint Mars/Uranus); the Mars-Uranus-Pluto combination is about crisis.

5. with progressed Ascendant semi square the natal Sun/Moon midpoint and highlighted his situation.

6. with progressed Ascendant also quindecile (165 degree aspect) Pluto, for a focus on the planet of stress and crisis

6. when progressed Mercury ruler 8 was moving to an inconjunct with Jupiter. Mercury-Jupiter is the combination of successful decisions, but an inconjunct in between speaks of lost balance and loss.

7. with transit Mercury ruler 8 on natal Midheaven

8. and it happened to be a transit Sun conjunct Pluto day for Robin Williams. Those days are more complicated and dangerous than other days are. (As my site Astromarkt has been hacked, I can't link to the article about solar transits and the nature of the days, sorry.)

9. Progressed MC quindecile Jupiter doesn't seem to fit in the list, but there is often a Jupiter aspect involved when a person dies. Maybe because Jupiter is the planet of the great voyage... See 'Jupiter when you die': http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2013/08/jupiter-when-you-die.html

10. The important transit of Saturn had been over his Ascendant and was in the first natal house. Transits of Saturn are often depressing and force you to face the facts of life.

Also, the solar return chart for Chicago (place of birth) has Saturn on Midheaven. It might just be coincidence, of course.

On important moments in life, we use to see a lot of transits and progressions. The list above shows the amount of them on August 11, 2014. At least 5 of the above mentioned points are related to the 8th house of death, but still this wouldn't have to mirror the end of life. Astrology, like statistics, doesn't work the other way around. And it takes a natal chart to start with.

Robin Williams' natal chart has an usual pattern of artistic talent compared to the artists on my site Art&Astrology. The sensitive and amorphous Moon in Pisces opposition the planet of art, Venus is in a way (as Pisces is the 'house sign' of Neptune) a variation on the theme Moon-Venus-Neptune. Leo MC is for the star. The culminating Mercury tells us about the importance of communications. He 'quickly mastered dialects', says Wikipedia and Mercury's prominence mirrors that. Mars rising before the Sun and Out of Bounds is in line with the fact that he was called 'hyperactive' when he was young. The inconjunct of Sun and Chiron shows us that there is something wrong and healing was needed (from the start).

Here is the chart with transits and progressions for yesterday.

Timeline of Bowe Bergdahl's chart

Bowe Bergdahl is a US soldier, recently released in a prisoner change, who was captured by the Taliban when he walked out of the compound unarmed. His chart, transits and progressions offer insight in the astrological indications of change and the impact of natal aspects. As Bergdahl seems to have psychological problems dating back to a decade, his chart should be read considering that fact and even mote careful because there is no hour of birth. I'll stick to the timelime and the progressions and transits in this post.

When he wrote about a new life, and was forced to step into another world, his progressed Sun was moving to the next sign (from Aries to Taurus), trine Mars (the symbol of the soldier). Progressed Venus inconjunct Uranus and semi square Sun.

When he was released the Sun was opposite Pluto in the progressed chart with progressed Sun trine Neptune. In the natal chart Sun is inconjunct Pluto and square Neptune. Transit Pholus conjunct his Uranus and transit Pluto conjunct Mars completes the picture. 

A progressed Sun changing sign indicates a change in life style. When it happened to me, that was clearly so. Sun-Pluto transits and progressions point at periods of stress, survival and comebacks and sometimes of life at stake. It seems the Berghdahl's timeline is corresponding with the transits and progressions with his chart.

Rise of Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister Delhi

Is there an astrological explanation for a sudden rise like that of Arvind Kejriwal, someone asked. In 1950, on January 24, the Republic of India was founded. They are celebrating that India turns 65 starting today, now that the 65th year has begun. Time to have a look at the chart of a well known Indian politician.

I always say that the chart is reflecting the events, not the other way around. Astrology works with symbols and those symbols have a wide range when it comes to meanings. Also, you need to see a chart in the context of culture, gender, time, age and circumstances.

That is perhaps why the important Mars rising before the Sun in Kejriwal's chart signals being an engineer and being an activist in Kejriwal's chart. The football player Dmitri Viktorovitsj Charin (Russian: Дмитрий Викторович Харин) was born on August 16, 1968, too. His Mars rising before the Sun pointed at sports. 
Mars is the symbol of energy, drives, activism, action, fighting, fire, iron, steel, muscles and a lot more. It depends on your environment, family, status and physical abilities how you will show that Mars rises before your Sun. Mars was 'calling' (NA, no major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees) on August 16, 1968. That makes the symbol of Mars important at any possible level. 
Both Charin and Kejrival will be active at any possible level, somehow, anyhow, using intense energy with a strong drive to win (Mars is semi square Pluto). I read that he called himself an anarchist, recently and calls for a fight against the Government. 

The second important planet is Mercury (also NA and 'calling'). That issues communications and transport. 

2006
Unlike Kejrival, Charin is not a politician. His career ended 10 years ago and I have no idea what happened in or around 2006 in the life of Charin. That is when both men had in 2006:

1. The progressed Sun sign changing
2. Sun conjunct Uranus in the progressed chart

Those are 2 signs of changing times. They mean: changing life style and sudden change.
Without hour of birth there is no more information. Midheaven, Moon and Ascendant, Sun/Moon midpoint and AC/MC midpoint remain unknown. A career change is often accompanied by a transit or progression of or with Midheaven. That is exactly what is unknown now…

Arvind Kejriwal founded a political party (AAP,  Aam Aadmi Pary) in 2011, but in 2006 his life had already changed in a significant way. That is when he was awarded by CNN-IBN for his achievements in the field of public service. He didn't come out of nothing when he started his party. He was already famous and popular. Still, 2006 was a hectic and disturbing year for Kejrival following his resign as a Joint Commissioner of Income Tax in New Delhi. 

Here is the chart of Kejrival. Right now transit Pholus trine Sun tells us about swift turning points in life while transit Saturn is on his way to square the natal Sun (ending a period in life).  We'll see…What exactly happens depends on his personal chart with hour of birth, and on the circumstances…

LINKS
There is something else about Kejrival that I like to mention: Sun exactly square Neptune. That is the same aspect as in the chart of Barack Obama and Angela Merkel, both idols and media icons. See the post on Sun-Neptune on Astromarkt…

Living example of Uranus-Pluto: Dieudonné M'bala M'bala

Uranus is square Pluto, still and Mars adds some fuel. You can see it in the New Year's chart. 

Some of what happens these days perfectly mirrors Uranus-Pluto. This post is about a man born in 1966. That was with Uranus conjunct Pluto. 

Remember the post on 'Resonance',  the effect of the interaction between mundane transit aspects and natal aspects?*) 

 Quote:

When a transit repeats a natal aspect combination, this transit resonates the natal aspect. It sounds and resounds. It sounds harder on fruitful ground.

The generation of the mid-sixties is likely to be 'hit' by Uranus-Pluto's square. M'bala M'bala is one of them.

DIEUDONNE

Dieudonné M’bala M’bala was born in the decade of the 'protest generation' and is now the example of a ‘living Uranus-Pluto’. He is one of the most controversial persons in France today. I'll tell you why. 

He is the inventor of the ‘quenelle’, a salute that reminds us of the Nazi salute. He is said to be an anti-Semite because what he says is anti-Semite. He is supporter of and supported by the regime in Iran, they say. He has been convicted seven times on antisemitism charges. He is friends with the right wing, while he used to be an anti racist left wing activist. 

When the polemics started, in 2002, his progressed Sun was changing sign. That is the mark of a changing life style, a new period in life. … For more you just have to Google him.

That is one side of M'bala M'bala. He also has a lot of fans and followers (copying his gesture, the quenelle). Jupiter inconjunct Neptune, in aspect with the Sun is one of the  indications for this. People all over France (and in the USA) are making selfies with the quenelle, on spots related to Jews. 

 This is his chart, with today's transits and progressions.

URANUS-PLUTO

His natal chart is very Uranus-Pluto:

• 1.     Sun Aquarius (ruled by Uranus) with Moon in Scorpio (ruled by Pluto) for a rather radical character
• 2.     Uranus is conjunct Pluto in his natal chart

Right now there is Uranus square Pluto and Mars is adding some fuel to this aspect. This combination hits his Progressed Sun and Mercury. In the progressed chart that you see here, Mars is inconjunct Uranus-Pluto. That is a sign of crisis (see the links for more examples).

Also, the Progressed Sun is conjunct Eris (the symbol of discord). 

LINKS

1. The exact square between Sun and Neptune in his natal chart really causes confusion. People like Woody Allen seriously think that M’bala M’bala is just joking (http://www.legorafi.fr/2013/05/15/woody-allen-dieudonne-est-le-plus-grand-humoriste-juif-de-tous-les-temps/ )

Is it an act? Then who is the real M’bala M’bala? For more on Sun-Neptune and being 'double': http://astromarkt.net/sun-neptune.html

2. I checked what happened when Uranus hit Pluto in history (here: http://www.astromarkt.net/uranus-pluto-history.html ). The mid sixties, when Mao had his cultural revolution, in the time of the beat-generation.
