The friendship in the synastry of Putin and Schroeder

Friendly soldier's greeting, somewhere in Europe

Thirty percent of the Dutch and perhaps even a larger percentage of Eastern Europeans are afraid for a next World War. That is because of the crisis in Ukrain and the possible threat coming from Russia in the Baltic region (Nato territory). Meanwhile, former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and Vladimir Putin are good friends. Schroeder sort of defended his friend in an interview and now he is 'under fire'. Where in the charts can we see that?

First the relationship between the charts of Putin and Schroeder.
Here is the chart of Gerhard Schröder and the transits are for the day of birth of Putin. There is more on Putin's chart and on his Sun on the Grand Square in an earlier post.

Chart of Schroeder, transits of dob Putin

When I look at the compatibility of charts, I always include the 'shared' aspects. In this case, both Schröder and Putin have a 'calling' Venus. When Venus 'calls' the ladies keep calling you:), but there is more. Venus is the symbol of diplomacy and charm. When Venus doesn't make an aspect in sign or orb 5 degrees, Venus is 'calling'. That means that you may manifest style, charm, diplomacy and perhaps a bit of vanity at any possible level, somehow and anyhow. As they both have this calling Venus, they share the same tendency to be kind to persons they like (in a special way). Venus of Gerhard is sesquisquare the Venus of Vladimir, so even though they like each other, there may be some kind of frustration because they don't always have the same preferences, even though they are 'compatible'. It is pleasant that the Venus of Putin is close to the Ascendant of Schroeder. That makes him feel comfortable and loved. So let's say that there is mutual sympathy (sometimes frustrating, but still pleasant).

Putin is a Libra, Schroeder is an Aries and that shouldn't match (if they were partners). Gerhard Schroeder's Moon is in Libra, however, and the Sun/Moon midpoint of Schroeder is close to Putin's Sun, as a sort of a compensation for their different nature.

Sympathy can't be enough to keep these VIP-politicians 'going', so what's more?

A. Putin's Pluto is exactly conjunct the Midheaven of Schroeder. There is a certain kind of authority or something that impresses Schroeder. 

B. The Saturn of Putin is conjunct the Sun of Schroeder. Even though there is a barrier or something that stands in the way (like age, status), there is at least respect. 

So that Putin impresses Schroeder and Schroeder is impressed, while Putin respects Schroeder.

It is a mix of liking and admiring each other. This friendship isn't liked or admired in Germany today, re the crisis in Ukrain. That is obvious, when you see the chart of Gerhard Schroeder, with transits and progressions. He is in the news (Uranus) the bad way (inconjunct) and subject to criticism. Friendship with the 'enemy' is not done. 

1. Saturn on his way to square Midheaven (criticism, end of a certain status) for the 2nd time
2. Progressed Midheaven inconjunct Uranus (alienation, upheaval with a loss of status)
3. Transit Saturn is about to make an inconjunct with progressed Venus (hurt feelings)

Here is his natal with transits and progressions (click to enlarge)

Super Bowl two brothers and astrology

When you click on the label 'football' you find a few posts in which I try to 'predict' the results of a match or game by using the MC of the final moment to see if there is a 'hit' with the coach's natal chart.
I also use the transits and progressions of the coach. I wanted to try it on the Super Bowl of February 3, 2013. It is a special match, because the two coaches are brothers (John and Jim Harbaugh).

SUPER BOWL CHART?
I thought it would be very interesting to see who wins and to see how the charts of the brothers are reflecting this. The problem with the chart of the SuperBowl is, however, that there is no indication for the eact time of the end of the match! The average SuperBowl lasts for about 3,5 hours, but it could be more (or less), depending on the length of shows and commercials. That makes it hard for to use my method. But I still want to have a look at the charts of the brothers.

THE HARBAUGH SYNASTRY
The sun signs of the brothers don't match. Their synastry is sun square sun. Both are starts, both want to draw attention and both want to be the boss. It must be very hard to be their mother and give both of them the attention that they need! They are two superstars fighting each other in the Super Bowl!
Also, Uranus of Jim is conjunct the Pluto of John. That is stimulating for tension and stress. Perhaps they are the sources of each other's level of adrenaline:)! They will certainly feel the heat on February 3, 2013, day of the match.

Position of day of birth John with (transit) those of Jim Harbaugh

JIM

Jim Harbaugh, San Francisco 94ers, was born on December 23, 1963.  In the natal chart Jim has a tight trine between Mars and Pluto, for the strong drive to win, strong muscles and tremendous energy. He is a typical 'strong man'.

Here is what is in his chart right now:
1. The match takes place on a day with transit Sun conjunct his Pholus. That is a yearly 'turning point' day. Mine was on Friday January 18, when the pedicurist hurt my foot. So Jim, don't stamp your foot!:)
2. Transit Pholus is sextile progressed Sun: an easy way out to a point of no return.
3. There is a minor Jupiter transit (105d) with progressed Sun: a merely visible success.

JOHN
John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens, was born on September 23, 1962. In the natal chart of John, Pluto rises before the Sun so that he has a strong focus on strategy and strength.

His transits and progressions are:
1. Progressed sun in minor (75d) aspect with Saturn (merely visible set back?)
2. Transit Pluto trine Pluto offers a great challenging moment for a win and stronger value
3. Progressed Venus trine Mars is good for passion
4. Progressed Sun conjunct progressed Venus (great for love life)

RESULT?
How can these lists offer any insight in the results of the Super Bowl? They can't because I don't have the chart of the final moment. I want to know who is happy in the end. I think that Jim has 'better astrological cards' because of the Jupiter and because of the fact that his team is favorite while John has a minor Saturn progression. On the other hand, those trine see to bring luck, too (and John has them). So:

Can anybody give me the hour of that final moment please?

The synastry in the Petraeus affair

A few days ago I wrote about the Venus-Saturn synastry in the Petraeus affair. The Saturn of Paula Broadwell is opposition David Petraeus' Venus. Paula's Venus is 112.5 degrees from her Saturn (that is a square + half semi square) and general Petraeus has Venus sextile Saturn. So, the couple shares a Venus-Saturn connection. Now I know that there is even one more Venus-Saturn connection. Mrs. Holly Petraeus was born July 17, 1952 and that means that her progressed chart has Venus conjunct Saturn this year. That completes the triangle of Venus-Saturn.*). But how about the rest of the synastry between the three of them?

Here are the positions on the days of birth of David Petraeus with in green (transits) the positions of his wife Holly. 

 

It is interesting to see the match between the charts (he Scorpio, she Cancer, Venus in Sagittarius and Venus in Leo). Her Neptune opposition his Mars may be difficult, but there has to be some difficulty to get going, doesn't it?:) 
The present difficulty is named Paula. Paula's Mars is straight square the Sun of Holly and that means: competition! And hurt, of course.

Holly's chart only has Mars semi sextile Saturn as an indication of divorce. Unfortunately Petraeus' chart has more of the aspects that are frequent in the charts of divorced men (Moon-Neptune, Moon-Saturn, Mars-Uranus...). Time will tell how they deal with this. And if they stay together, the synastry between the signs in their charts won. At present, Paula and David's natal charts and Holly's progressed chart contain a Venus-Saturn aspect. They are all connected by the Venus-Saturn painful situation.

The Stepford wives were perfect. The author's chart has a Venus-Saturn conflict (Venus inconjunct Saturn): http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2012/01/venus-saturn-and-stepford-wives.html 


*)Also, her progressed Saturn is square her Uranus (for breaking free, perhaps).

Synastry of Johan Cruyff and Louis van Gaal

Ajax appointed Louis van Gaal as general manager to be, in 2012. It seems like a stab in the back of Johan Cruyff, Ajax commissioner, in the middle a period of serious discord in the football club. Van Gaal and Cruyff don't speak to each other since more than 20 years! They are no match at all and are supposed to work together! This is the synastry:

Sun of Cruyff in Taurus square Sun of Van Gaal in Leo
Moon of Cruyff square Moon of Van Gaal
Sun/Moon of Cruyff semi square Neptune of Van Gaal
A/M of Cruyff semi square Pluto of Van Gaal

And both men have Mars rising before the Sun (they are competitive - and they should be in their field:).

The discord in the chart of Cruyff is obviously related to Eris right now. Above is the chart, with progressions and transits. The day of birth of Louis van Gaal is August 8, 1951. Here is the chart of Cruyff with the natal positions of Van Gaal in green.

The match between Prince William and Kate Middleton

Prince William and Kate Middleton (soon Princess Catherine, I presume) share a strong Moon in Cancer. I quote myself:

When lovers have the same position of the Moon, they feel close and comfortable. Friends often have the same Moonsign. It makes you feel as if you belong together ('We are family').

This Moon might be important for keeping them together, as their Sunsigns don't match and their Mars are conjunct (for a lot of fire, and risk of quarrel). There is a lucky synastry aspect: Venus tredecile (108d) Venus. That means that although their preferences don't match (as the Venus signs don't match) they will find creative ways to settle things because of love. And that is what matters most when you want to get married...Continue for the links and for the chart drawing of Prince William with the transits of the day of birth of Kate Middeton.

David and Ed Milliband

Chart of noon on the day of birth of Ed Milliband 

David Milliband has been defeated by his younger brother Ed and now Ed Milliband is the new leader of Labour. See the Times...Why not have a look at the positions of the days of birth of the brothers and see how the results are reflecting in their charts*)?

David Milliband was born July 15, 1965. Transit Pluto was square his Ceres today and transit Saturn is almost on his Mars. The progressed Sun is sextile Mars and the sextile with Mars offers an easy way out of a battle or struggle. There is no sign of success or joy.

Ed Milliband was born December 24, 1969

Today he has transit Pluto on the natal Sun and transit Jupiter was opposition natal Pluto. Sun, Jupiter and Pluto: that is a winning team. In the natal chart he has the same aspect combination. The tightest aspect in his chart is Sun in Capricorn trine Saturn, a statement for ambition and management. 

It is clear that the chart of Ed Milliband had the most fortunate aspects. The individual charts with Midheaven and Ascendant could have made a difference, but apparently they did not. 

Continue for the match between the brothers and for more charts...BTW: The competition is reflected by Mars inconjunct Mars.
