SUICIDAL
PILOT
Here is the
chart of Andreas Lubitz (18 December 1987 – 24 March 2015). Lubitz was born in Montaubar. He was 27 years old, unmarried and it rumors that he had
problems with his pregnant fiancée. His mental and fysical condition actually
disabled him to be a pilot, but it was his dream and- as all pilots- he had a
considerable debt. Maybe all that was enough to want to die, but it doesn’t
explain why he wanted innocent passengers and crew members to share the horror
of his final flight. There are ideas about it, like medication and the sort of
depression, but what does the chart say? I think that it was in that chart, if you include the fact that he wasn't mentally healthy and that he had a plane in control.
The natal chart shows a rather
fanatical, ambitious, silent (if needed), not very reasonable dreamer with a
health issue and the tendency to act in a radical way and/or shoot his own
feet.
The transits and progressions draw a
dark picture of the situation at the time of his death. Circumstances (t&p)
activated existing issues and characteristics. As always,mit is a combinations of things.
But above all: if he hadn’t been a
pilot, he couldn’t have done this.
I Natal chart
1. Saturn rises before the Sun. That means that his official status was
number 1 and so were his parents. This also gives a rather pessimistic view.
2. Mercury conjunct Saturn: see Astromarkt (http://www.astromarkt.net/aspects-with-mercury.html ). I quote: ‘You just don’t tell
it all…’
3. Mars conjunct Pluto and novile Uranus is the combination of radical acts
on impulse, sudden use or abuse of power
4. Sun, Saturn and Uranus opposition Chiron shows the possible need to heal
issues of breaking free and limited freedom
5. Possible Moon NA (in the morning) could add ‘emotions at any kind of level’
6. Calling Neptune (NA); see Astromarkt. I quote:’ dreams without limits
ending in a world of dreams’
7. Sun inconjunct Pholus for the risk to shoot your own feet at any point
in life (self destruction?)
The ingredients for being silent
(Mercury-Saturn) about a health issue (Sun-Chiron) and eventually losing grip
on reality (Neptune) were there, and they were triggered.
When the planets involved in natal
aspects are being brought together by means of a transit or progression, they
‘sound’ harder. I named that ‘resonance’.
Take that in mind, together with the 7
observatoins.
II Transits and progressions
Transits (exact,within 1 degree of orb)
and progressions (ditto):
1. Transit Saturnus sesquisquare Mars (dead
end)
2. Transit Saturn conjunct Progressed Mars (dead end)
3. Transit Uranus inconjunct Mars (accelerated drive, resonates Mars novile
Uranus in the natal chart)
4. Transit Pluto sextile Mars (easy way out using force)
a. Together Mars, Uranus and Pluto activate the Mars, Uranus and Pluto combination in the birth chart. It is the trio of radical act of importance
5. Transit Pholus conjunct Sun indicates an important point of no return (turning point with a risk), resonating the Sun inconjunct Pholus
natal aspect
6. Progressed Sun was trine progressed Pholus, this enable a turning point that is important (because
of the natal aspect)
7. Progressed Sun near inconjunct Progressed Chiron, resonating Sun-Chiron opposition in the natal chart and symbol of
the important need to be cured with
a loss involved (mirrored by the inconjunction)
8. Transit Neptune semi square Sun for confusion
9. More subtile aspects like Progressed Sun semi sextile Saturn (end of a
period) and
10. transit Uranus conjunct Eris (sudden discord)
Two times dead end, two times point of
no return, confusion and need to be cured with end of period and sudden
discord: there is nothing light or bright about the transits and progressions.
It is all deep darkness.
Could we have foreseen that?
Even that wouldn’t have to lead to a
crashing plane on a mountain top and the death of so many people, if Andreas
Lubitz had been a healthy person. But he wasn’t. He had psychiatric problems 6
years ago, already. So we have to see this load of heavy transits and
progressions as a load of problems for an already troubled person who was given
a responsibility that he abused to be ‘known’ forever and ever because after
all he was ambitious first of all (Saturn rising before the Sun).
If we knew his hour of birth, perhaps we
could add even more indications in the birth chart and more transits and
progressions. Maybe these data give us
more insight in the answer to the question why he wanted to kill so many
people. Or maybe that is the byproduct of medication?
If he had to be seen by an astrologer
before being allowed to fly, if the astrologer only used major aspects and the
classical planets, he’d only see transit Saturn conjunct Progressed Mars (if he
used progressions…). But it is as with
any major incident, a matter of 3 or more heavy indications in one direction
that does it at a specific moment.
Here you see 10 major and minor
indications. Four of them are with Chiron, Pholus and Eris. There are 5 minor
aspects involved, including 2 inconjunctions. Together they give you a picture
of a nasty period for a not so reasonable person who is first of all ambitious,
who doesn’t tell it all, who lives in a world of dreams and who has some kind
of illness and wants to break free. Once you know what comes next, you see it.
Otherwise it is just a troubled dark colored shady picture, like that of the
remains of the plane on the mountaintop. If we could only go back in time and
stop this man…

JIHADI JOHN
One of the
most wanted persons today is Jihadi John, the British young man who slaughtered
Islamic State victims in the name of his religion. He was born on August 17,
1988 in Kuwait (see link to Sky News), a rather ordinary day. This post is about the chart of his day of birth as a reminder of what I always say: charts mirror life, not vice versa. And: charts should be seen, related to genes, gender, culture, history, and circumstances.
CIRCUMSTANCES
Emotions like love and hate, being lonely or in danger cAn trigger the worst aspects of personalities, even when a person always looked so ordinary and 'normal'. Situations, like war, make any difficult aspect harder (see
example). I read an article in a newspaper about 'radicalizing' jihadists. The author said that (given the data) it seems sort of coincidental when and why persons radicalize. One of his examples 'did it' when he was sad after an ended romance...
Nobody can 'predict' wether a person will or will not become a jihadist. A chart also doesn't dictate anything.We can 'blame' certain aspects when we want to find an explanation for a person's life but let's keep in mind that there are also psychological defects that can make any chart tricky.
Trines and sextiles are abundant in the charts of criminals, because they help you find the 'easy way out' and some find it easier to rob their neighbors than to work for their money. Jupiter's happy transits helped
Marc Dutroux and Michelle Martin several times. There seems to be no justice 'above'.
If the chart showed us 'fate' and 'predicted' radicalizing or becoming an executioner, more persons born on that day would have walked the same road. On Wikipedia I found 4 names
of people born that day:
They all
have the same proud Sun in Leo, the stylish and polite Moon in Libra, the same will to break free (Sun trine (Saturn conjunct
Uranus)) and the same romantic drive (Venus opposition Neptune and square Mars). They all have Mercury
sextile Venus and trine Neptune and Pluto for mystic ideas (about love, too). Venus and Jupiter rise before their sun and that is a good and social sign.
And they don't use violence, as far as I know.
So I can’t blame the chart of the day of birth even if they all have Mars inconjunct Pluto:). How do they deal with Mars inconjunct Pluto? I don't know. Maybe they are extremely angry sometimes, more than average, but I can'd be sure. I only know that Jihadi John has a problem with anger and violence and that Mars inconjunct Pluto mirrors this.
Jihadi John had choices to make out of the potentials in his chart, but certain
circumstances and ideas may have guided him to the road of destruction and this was related to his
religious background, his age/gender and the existence of IS. Because…well, here is
the chart:
SUCH AN
ORDINARY CHART
I read
about him that the most amazing thing about his life story is, that he is such
an ordinary boy. People of the past are shocked that he is now a merciless sadist. As a kid
he was such a nice boy, they say, but at a particular moment in time (about 5
years ago) someone persuaded him to become a jihadist and he went to the Middle
East to start killing. Well, everybody knows the story and if not, you can find
lots of info on the Internet.
At first
sight the chart of the day is such an ordinary chart, too. Not per se the chart of a brutal killer. It is like in the chart of OJ Simpson, the smiling movie star who used to hit his wife and ended in jail not for killing her and her lover, but for violently robbing a store later. At first sight he was so kind and so was his chart, but...there WAS a potential for the nasty side. See the article about 'the chart behind the chart' here... Minor aspects CAN have major impact.
HIDDEN
POTENTIAL
Even the chart of very ordinary day may have a hidden dangerous potential. So had August 17, 1988.
This not so obvious potential can be mirrored by minor aspects and prominent midpoint combinations. In the chart of Jihadi John it is a minor aspect combination that
can be destructive in the hands of someone who is not sane or under the
influence of drugs and (in this case) in a war zone. As I said before, circumstances trigger certain aspects. When you are in love or celebrating your marriage or playing with your dog, you are in a better mood than among fanatics in a war zone.
The combination that I want to show is: Pluto semi square Saturn and inconjunct Mars
(the combination of untimely death). This combinations is connected to the Sun by means of a
sesquisquare. It is a tight combination. This bitter and hard potential didn’t ever have to be used like he uses it now. (OK: Maybe it comes
forward because of angular placement of Mars, Saturn or pluto in the natal
chart, but that remains the question.)
The signal
of deathly danger (Mars-Saturn-Pluto) is also a warning signal for himself. It
seems that there is a hunt for Jihad John and it depends on who catches him
first, how his life will end. When Saturn will be in the 10th degree
of Sagittarius, next year, he might have to look over his shoulder more
frequently. And as his hour of birth is missing, there may be other moments
sooner.
THE NOT SO
ORDINARY PERSON
I use to
read charts from the point of view that the person involved is a normal person,
who wants to live a good life and be happy. But what if a person is not normal
and who’s idea of ‘feel good’ is to kill, murder and rape? In that case charts
and aspects may contribute to the vile acts. Only when a person is psychologically ill or in extreme situations, it is time for the worst meanings of aspects.
Saturn-Uranus
There is
Saturn conjunct Uranus, both trine the Sun. Those are major aspects. It is the aspect combination of breaking
free and/or limited freedom (see links).
The trine made it easy to leave the country and
his family and join rebels abroad. In a
few years time the progressed Sun will hit this conjunction with a very hard
square. Maybe that square ends his freedom?
Mercury-Neptune-Pluto
Also there
is a strong connection between Mercury, Neptune and Pluto by means of aspects
and midpoint combinations. This combination of the ‘silent force’ and
spirituality linked to the planet of communications, ideas and schooling might
be the key to vulnerability for fanatic ideological ideas under certain
conditions.
Sun-Mars-Uranus
The (aspect
or midpoint) combination of the short fuse and eagerness for immediate change
is frequent in the charts of terrorist as you can see in the article on
Astromarkt. His Sun is sesquisquare Mars and trine Uranus.
See:
http://www.astromarkt.net/mars-in-aspect-with-uranus.html
Mars is inconjunct Pluto. That is also so in the chars of Hugh Hefner, Catherine the Great (both have/had an excessive number of sex partners; she had her husband murdered),
Tina Turner (had a violent relationship), Hannie Schaft (WW2 resistance, shot) and Luis Suarez (the famous biting football player). This aspect mirrors the issue of the
use and abuse of power, sex and violence, with lack of balance and loss involved. Even this difficult aspect is rather neutral and how it works depends on position, gender, profession and situation. It doesn’t demand anyone to use force or to get into a situation where you have to defend yourself at any cost. But in a worse case scenario this aspects means excessive abuse of violence and the danger of injuries.
As
Mars is also square Neptune, this might be stimulated by the use and abuse of alcohol or drugs or his acts are
driven by ideals/ideology.
And have you noticed
the narrow quintile Sun-Pholus for creating a point of no return with a risk to
shoot his own feet?
Again, this
is a look at the astrological position on the day of birth of Mohammed Emwasi
(and others). Everyone born on that day has the same aspects. The place and hour of their birth creates differences between them, but the major aspects are alike. So:
Charts don’t show a fate, charts show potential choices to make
and the most likely way of life in certain circumstances.
And sometimes charts
show us the hidden nasty aspects that come out only in hell and only when
someone freely chooses to act as one of the devil’s helpers.
MOON, ASCENDANT, MC, SUN/MOON
If we knew at what time he was born, we could see the aspects of the Moon, the Ascendant, the MC and the position of Sun/Moon midpoint. That would allow us to see the whole astrological picture and the key positions at the angles of the chart. Maybe that explains, or a bit...
BUT...
I guessed that there is something wrong with the psyche of this man (from birth or after using drugs). Or better: I hoped so. The consequence of the idea that it only took words and a certain
belief/ideology to make Mohammed Emwasi 'Jihadi John' (digging up the darkest aspects of his personality), is too scary.
And to my relief I read that the executioner's past is less innocent than we were supposed to believe and that his family isn't 'well to do' but living in a mansion payed for by British welfare. In England they feel that poor people ought to have the right to live as if they were not, so that they get payed to live in mansions. The government (and tax papers) contributed many pounds to the way of life and study of the family and in fact: they still do. The father lives abroad.
Here again, the minor aspects make the chart. We all first heard the story of the common student who suddenly became a murderer and now we know that it was a process and that he wasn't so 'common' after all. The difficult Mars inconjunct Pluto pops up one day.
