THE BIRTH CHART OF LOUIS DE WOHL
The astrologer and spy in WW2


The files of MI5 revealed the name of Louis de Wohl, born 24 January 1903 at 15h30 CET in Berlin. He was working as a spy/astrologer in the Second World War. In those days people believed that the strategic successes of HItler were due to his relationship with an astrologer and using an astrologer to find out the next moves Hitler would make based upon astrological findings seems to be a good idea. De Wohl was not very popular among the James Bonds and although even those spies could not prove it they thought he was a charlatan. However, he was rewarded with the British nationality on behalf of a major Lennox, who said that he had been valuable for the allied forces. Read this and more in The Independent. And he did predict that Hitler would lose in the end (but not exactly when that would be).

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.

NEPTUNE
In his chart Neptune is the most prominent planet. Neptune is not aspected by major aspect in sign (and so: 'calling') and square Aries Point. Neptune disposes of the Midheaven. That might point at fantasy, belief, ideals and uh...fake things...at any possible level. Saturn is oriental and this connected with the lack of placements in earth signs activates the search for material things and security. Saturn is inconjunct the prominent Neptune. So maybe there was a certain disbalance between his ambition and his spirituality.

Accidently his Sun is on my Moon and my Moon is on his Sun. My Node is on his MC, too. The rule of 3 maybe provoked that I had the drive to give some positive attention to the chart of De Wohl. Or is that Neptunic?:)

BTW In his solar return chart Uranus is on the IC. Transit Uranus is now semi square his Sun. Neptune is inconjunct his Ascendant...And so his name got in the papers and not in the most positive way.

RUSSIANS CHOOSE MEDVEDEV FOR PRESIDENT


DMITRI MEDVEDEV
Today Medvedev has been elected to be the next Russian president. This happened to him with transit Mars conjunct his Jupiter, Jupiter trine his Uranus and Pluto; and with Jupiter sextile his Mars. These are FOUR combinations for succes in one day.

The natal positions of Medvedev are very clear about him. You see an oriental Pluto (for a politician and strategic person). This Pluto is conjunct Uranus (for making the world a better place). Pluto and Uranus combined point at a radical person, a revolutionary mind. Jupiter square Zero Aries for succes and Mars sesqui square Aries Point for the drive. Now we have Mars, Jupiter and Pluto prominent for the combination for succes.
Nevertheless, Wikipedia says he is known for being moderate, liberal and practical. Hmm...this might end up in surprises for me or for Wikipedia:). His chart shows a hyperactive strategic open minded powerfull person. I am afraid that the wide square between Sun and Saturn does not offer much hope for democracy. Mostly politicians with Sun aflicted by Saturn want to do 'it' on their own (like Chávez, Stalin etc.).

Dmitri Medvedev was born 14 September 1965 in Leningrad.

A REVOLUTIONARY FIGHTER KILLED
Birth chart of RAUL REYES (FARC)


Yesterday the Colombian army shot Raúl Reyes, second man of the FARC (the revolutionary movement that holds a.o. Ingrid Bétancourt in chains in the jungle). It was with transit Neptune sesqui square Sun and Uranus trine Mars, so I bet it was quick. Not long ago transit Saturn was conjunct his progressed Sun. Maybe he was getting too old to be in the jungle and be alert all the time. Transit Pluto was conjunct progressed Mars and transit Mars was conjunct progressed Uranus. In his natal chart there is such a combination of Mars, Uranus and Pluto. In the 22.5 range Mercury and Venus connect Mars/Saturn, Saturn/Uranus and Saturn/Pluto. Mars is 90 degrees away from the midpoint Sun/Uranus and 67.5 degrees from Sun/Pluto. Uranus is connected to Sun/Mars. And in his solar return chart Mars was square Zero Aries, conjunct natal Uranus and semi square natal Pluto. Mars-Uranus-Pluto is the combination of a sudden violence and attack and of the revolutionary fighter. Now that those particular marks of this individual were highlighted, he was taken by surprise.

He was born 30 September 1948 with the Moon rising before the Sun. That is an indication for being and feeling 'involved' and for a focus on his own kind of people. The Sun does not make major aspects and that is the sign for the leader (Sun = leadership, unaspected = 'calling'). Uranus square Zero Aries marks him as a man who wants to change the world. As Pluto is sesqui square Zero Aries, there is a combination for revolutionary changes (Uranus and Pluto combined). And look at Mars square Pluto for the use and abuse of violence or for having to defend oneself against violent acts. The prominent placements reveal his Astro identitiy: that of a biased leader who wants to make immediate changes.

There is a trine between his Venus and Jupiter. That is rather interesting. Would we expect parties in the life of a revolutionary man living in the jungle and keeping prisoners? But we know little about his life with female combattans, do we? Anyway, he was a Marxist by conviction, says Wikipedia. WIthout an hour of birth this cannot be verified by the positons of that day. However, we see Sun conjunct Neptune and in a 75degree quindecile with Jupiter for the Jupiter/Neptune combination of followers and believers (or idols and religious persons).

PRINCE HARRY's BIRTH CHART:
DUTY CALLING


Transit Jupiter square his Progressed Sun and transit Pluto in a 75 degre quindecile...Prince Harry has transits that indicate enormous succes. And he has. The British people are proud of him, now that they found out that he was fighting in Afghanistan for the past 2,5 months.

Prince Harry was born in London, on 15th September 1984 at 16h20 MET with a very prominent ruler of the first house, Saturn. Saturn is conjunct the Midheaven, placed in the 11th equal house of friends and groups and in the 9th Placidus house of foreign countries and travelling. Saturn is not making major aspects in sign. That leads to responsibilities and hierarcy on any possible level. But we might also translate the astrological message like this:

Midheaven conjunct Saturn - Saturn ruler 1, No Aspects =
DESTINY/GOAL in public life goes together with DUTY CALLING

MARS AT WAR:
ABout the birth chart of Kang Kek leu 'Duch' and other war criminals



Kang Kek leu 'Duch' tortured people in the Pol Pot period of Cambodja. He was born 17th November 1942, so last year his progressed Sun changed sign (when he was arrested and his life style changed). It seems he became a christian a few years ago, that he is sorry and that he cried when he visited the place where so many Cambodjans were tortured to death.

There is no hour of birth available, so we do not know wether there are crucial placements on the cross of the birth chart. What we know are the positions on the day, valid for many. Still, this composition of planets should show some possible entries into the world of a man who killed fanatically. And that is so...

See how Mars in Scorpio, rising before the Sun, is inconjunct Saturn and square Pluto. Notice how the Sun conjunct VEnus and trine Jupiter allowed him to live on as if nothing happened between 1975 and 1979. Notic that in 1978 his progressed sunsign changed into Capricorn and that in 1979/1980 the progressed Sun squared Neptune and was inconjunct Uranus. That tells us about hiding (Neptune) and about liberty (Uranus) being unbalanced, hard to get or lost (inconjunct).

Another thing I would like to point at is the Moon in Pisces. I have noticed before that the Moon in Cancer or Pisces were involved in the charts of those who misbehaved in war times. For example, I have the birth data of 3 women who abused and beated jewish prisoners in WW2 and they have these placements, too. I have written an article about bias, that includes these observations.

So, the 17th of November of 1942 was a day that would likely 'produce' individuals who are very committed to their family or group or party. And this man was one of them. It was also a day for people who were willing to gain either way, possibly very fanatic in sports and politics and maybe, in certain conditions, these characteristics would work out the wrong way. Most of all, because Mars is oriental (rising before the sun and not being limited by a more prominent Mercury - for sense - or Venus - for kindness and sympathy)...Mars is often oriental in the charts of the war criminals in Ruanda, too. Yet, it could be the sign for an entrepeneur, someone who was very energetic or active instead of being a war criminal. That said,
. the combination of a Moon in the 'bias' signs,
. the strong drive to use any means to win and
. the luck he had to be supported enough to stay out of prison until he was 65,
. together with the fact that he became a christian at the right moment (so that it is mentioned in all newspapers, very helpful for his case)...fits the life of Duch.

On the 12th November 2006 I wrote about war criminals in Ruanda:
"ELIE NDAYAMBAJE, SEGOLENE ROYAL, ANATOLE NSEMGIYUMVA and SYLVAIN NSABIMANA, RUKUNDO and KABILIGI
These are a few of the names of wanted criminals of the war in Rwanda in 1996. You can find them and others on the website of Trial Watch.
There were of course thousands of these criminals, but they were supposed to be the leaders.
Today the Sunday Times mentioned that four genocide suspects who now live in the UK face trail in Rwanda. I compared 6 of the wanted men in the Trial Watch list to see 'why', and I found this:

1. Moon Pisces (see the special about Nazi Grandma Huth) and a peregrine Mars oriental. Sun conjunct Mars/Saturn and Mars/Neptune, semi square Mars/Uranus. No positions in earth.
2. Moon in Pisces (again) and Mars conjunct Mercury in the last degree of Cancer conjunct the Sun (peregrine). No positions in earth. Oriental Mars conjunct Sun/Urnaus.
3. 50% watersigns (see the Nazi Grandma special); Mars biquintile Pluto and Sun in Pisces. Oriental Mars. Sun sesquisquare Mars/Uranus.
4. 50% firesigns. Sagittarius Moon and Sun. Oriental Mars semi square Sun/Uranus.
5. 50% firesigns and no earth. Mars tightly conjunct Saturn and square Uranus. Sun Sagittarius and Moon in Leo. There is a midpoint combination of Mars/Saturn/Uranus repeated 3 times.
6. Pluto oriental, square Mars (connected to Aries Point, in the 16th degree of Scorpio) and Saturn is peregrine. Sun is conjunct Mars/Uranus.

They all have extremes and a prominent Mars (oriental 5 out of 6, AP 1).

In the days of the Rwanda genocide (summer of 1996) Uranus in the 5th degree of Aquarius was inconjunct Mars of nr. 1, opposed to the Sun of nr. 2, square to Neptune of nr. 3 (who also had Pluto square Pluto). Number 4 had Saturn square Saturn at the time and Jupiter conjunct his progressed Sun. In that year he also had SunArc Mars conjunct Saturn and sesquisquare Uranus. Nr. 5 had Transit Uranus square to his progressed Mars. Nr. 6 had Transit Neptune square Sun.

Maybe this is an interesting study to make. Please look at the article about Mars/-Uranus and Mars/-Pluto. And isnot it interesting to have a look at the chart of a heroe of that period, Paul Rusesabagina, born 15th June 1954. As the manager of the hotel Rwanda he saved about 1200 people (Hutu and Tutsi) out of the hands of guys like those mentioned above. He has Sun/Jupiter and Sun/Mars on Aries Point, Sun trine Neptune as most narrow aspect (being idealistic or helpfull). He has radical midpoint combinations, too (Sun with Uranus/Pluto, 3 times repeated), and Mars is oriental in his chart, like in those of the men above. In his case Uranus was inconjunct Jupiter (and linked to Mars) at the time of the genocide. It seems Sun trine Neptune (empathy!) was showing the right way... "

I ADDED IN DECEMBER 2006
"Vincent Bajinya is a medical doctor and he will be transferred to Ruanda to face the judge as he has been accused of taking part in the mass slaughter in Ruanda. He was born in Kigombe Rhengeri at 28th February 1961. His peregrine Mars is sesquisquare Saturn/Pluto for being confronted with unnatural death and violence at any possible level. These days both Saturn and Pluto trine his progressed Sun. That trine is rather peculiar and I would have liked to see his hour of birth.

Apart from Vincent Bajinya, also Charles Munyaneza, Celestin Ugirashebuja and Emmanuel Nteziryayo are sent to Ruanda. There is a special about Ruanda on Astromarkt. Compared to other wanted mass criminals in Ruanda Vincent Bajinya also has a prominten (in this case peregrine) Mars. Mars is septile Uranus.Ten years ago -during the events- his progressed Sun squared the progressed Mars and at the same time Uranus inconjunct Mars. Most of the other wanted men had Mars related to Uranus in 1996, too."
