PLAYBOY HUGH HEFNER AND HIS CHART

In the middle of the global financial crisis I read an 'important' message: Hugh Hefner and playmate Holly Madison have separated. The 28-year old was one of the 3 steady partners of the Playboy Icon of 82. Interesting, is not it? An 82-year old surrounded by playmates. Let us have a look at his chart, just to stop thinking about funds, shares and bankruptcy. It is fun, because there is no astrological sign of any grieve or loneliness related to the separation. What astrological signs do I see? In short, his Astro I.D. shows misbalanced use of power and money, and shocking messages about sexuality. And... a successful playboy:) Follow the track in the chart below:

LIBERTARIAN COMMUNICATOR
The rebellious Uranus is prominent in his chart. Uranus is angular, so Uranus is of crucial importance. Uranus is square the Midheaven and related to the very important and personal midpoint ASC/MC. Scandals, shock and 'news' are related to his position in society. He is definitely controversial and a person who changes the world and a political libertarian (Uranus).

Mercury, the planet of communications, is 'calling'. The fact that Mercury does not make major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees and rises before the Sun makes Mercury the oriental planet in this chart. Writing, speaking: it all becomes him.

A CALLING PASSION
Mars is the end dispositor of the Midheaven and Mars rules the 8th house of influence, sexuality and gain. Mars is ruled by the important Uranus. And Mars is 'calling', too.
And does it surprise you that Venus is 'calling' as well?

CONCLUSION...
With the prominent Venus,Mars, Mercury and Uranus we have the prophile of a person with a prominent passion (Venus and Mars) for controversial (Uranus) communications (Mercury) or for shocking messages about sexuality (Venus and Mars).

WOMEN, RELATIONSHIPS AND MORE WOMEN: WHY?
A person with Uranus on the descendant is an independent and free person. Hugh Hefner does not really need a partner. With Mercury in the 7th house young partners are his choice. And Sun in Aries in the 7th shows us that in any cooperation or partnership he will be King Number One. There is no need to have pity on the man without a long-lasting love in his life. But...with Mercury ruler 1 and 10 in 7 he will always enjoy company. That explains the 3 partners!:)
Do you mind if I end with Mars and Jupiter in the 5th house of pleasures for the play(5)boy(Mars) who is successful (Jupiter) in his games?

There is only one serious affliction that can be related to not being married or being divorced: Mars semi square Uranus is one of the aspects that don't have a good influence on relationships. The fact that he is already 82 seems to be the proof that virgins keep you young.

Pisces (the sign of his Moon and Venus) is the romantic sign, the sign of photography and the sign of addictions. In Western countries it is not uncommon for rich men to have younger women, but certainly not 3 at the time. So why so many? Why this concentration on sex?
Because Pluto is on top of this chart for money, influence, power and sex above all. And Pluto is connected to Mars in the tightest aspect of this chart!

MARS INCONJUNCT PLUTO
Now we get at a minor aspect, but the most tightest aspect in his chart: Mars inconjunct Pluto. A misbalanced (inconjunct) use (Mars) or abuse (Mars) of Pluto-matters like money, power, influence, politics, and potency or sexuality. I read that his first wife permitted Hefner to see other women out of a sort of a feeling of guilt, because she had an affair before they got married. And it seems that he did not let that opportunity to take revange, pass bye...

NOBEL PRIZE FOR HARALD ZUR HAUSEN:and the science in his chart

Harald zur Hausen received (half of the) Nobel Prize yesterday for finding the cause for uterus cancer (HPV, the humane papillomavirus) between 1970 and 1990. Better late than never, this prize...Maybe that is why we see transit Jupiter sextile Saturn. Let me tell you about this moment in his life and about the scientist in his chart, even without HOB.

MOMENT IN TIME
There are more astrological announcements for an important change in life:
a. the progressed Sun changed sign about 1,5 years ago (in 2006 the vaccine against uterus cancer was introduced, thanks to his earlier studies), just like the progressed Sun did when he got his first award*)
b. transit Uranus is square the natal Sun (for being in the 'news' this year) and there are more contemporary transits. In March 2008 the American Association for Cancer Research Lifetime Achievement awarded him already.

SCIENCE: SATURN AND MERCURY
The scientist in the chart is shown by Saturn. Saturn is prominent because Saturn is rising before the Sun (oriental). A prominent Saturn in a chart always indicates a serious person, like a scientist is.

Mercury in Aquarius symbolizes the independent mind that was required to do a study against the 'ruling' ideas of those days, that a herpes virus caused uterus cancer. Note that if he was born later in the evening, there is a quindecile (15d) aspect between Mercury and Saturn (Mercury 327.3d, Saturn 343.8d, 13.5 d difference at noon).

ILLNESSES
Saturn is opposition Neptune. The combination Saturn-Neptune indicates the importance of illnesses in his life. .

INVENTIVE AND INDEPENDENT MIND
If he is born late in the evening, Mercury in Aquarius will be sextile Jupiter and Uranus for the inventive mind. And it will not be surprising that Mercury is placed between Jupiter and Uranus (Mercury = Jupiter/Uranus) already…

SUCCESS
His evident success is marked by the combination of Sun-Jupiter-Pluto: Sun square Jupiter and trine Pluto. This combination shows a self confident and daring person. Those are qualities needed to gain (Pluto) success (Jupiter).

Even without HOB it is perfectly clear that on the day of birth of Zur Hausen there were signs that a scientist could be born, in particular later on the day. Of course, the right environment, genes and social situation made it possible to study. And the individual birth chart (with hour of birth, HOB), will have crucial information about the angular placements that completes the picture of Harald zur Hausen.
*)In Wikipedia you see a list of awards and prizes. The first one is the Robert Koch prize in 1975. That was with the progressed Sun changing sign, just like in 2006. Transit Jupiter was semi sextile Sun.

RE: Transit URANUS opposition MC of BIDEN and the death of his mother in law

Re: my earlier post about Uranus opposition midheaven of Biden.html on the day of his debate with Palin...
On October 4, the same day, Biden had to say goodbye to his son, a military man leaving for Iraq. The next afternoon, his mother in law died. Transit Uranus opposition Midheaven caused hectic times, tension and unexpected news...

ASTROLOGY CHART OF TOP DRUG CRIMINAL KLAAS BRUINSMA

55 years ago, Klaas Bruinsma was born. Klaas Bruinsma is the name of a Dutch liquidated drugs dealer. He was born October 6, 1953 at 8:03:50 a.m. in Amsterdam. In 2003 his name was linked to that of Princess Mabel (married to Prince Johan Friso, son of the Dutch queen Beatrix).
Peter R. de Vries, the crime reporter who recently got an Emmy Award, had investigated a gossip that Mabel used to be a very good friend or even a lover of Klaas. The news sang around just before she became the fiancé of Prince Johan Friso and caused a lot of scandle.

The chart of Klaas Bruinsma is above, with the position on the day of birth of Mabel Wisse Smit on the outside of the circle. The calling MC, ASC/MC = JUPITER and the position of the oriental Moon between Neptune and Pluto with Mars semi square Saturn as the tightest aspect immediately makes us aware of the fact that we deal with a man who has to fight hard, who strongly needs medications or drugs and who is successful in his field.

MERCURY FOR TRAFFIC
The complete picture of the chart of Klaas Bruinsma, the sum of the different special marks in his I.D., made him the man who he was. Let us see what Astro I.D. he had. We see a prominent ruler 1 on top of the chart (Pluto, widely conjunct the MC) for the importance of money, the oriental Moon close to Venus and Mars for the need for passion. Very important is that the Sun is calling and is in the 12th equal house. It is a perfect description of drawing attention and being the leader behind the scenes. I think that the most prominent position is for Mercury, as this planet is angular and calling. Notice that Mercury rules the 8th house of power, money, life and death. Mercury symbolizes communications and traveling. He was the narco traffic man.

CALLING MIDHEAVEN 19th OF LEO
The MC does not make any major or minor aspects in orb 5 degrees. This means that he could reach any level in society and that his position was special. The 19th degree of Leo seems to be of utmost importance. Janduz pictures this degree as that of a man struggling against the wind, while his servant leads his horse. It would be easier to sit on horseback but instead he chooses the hard and foolish way. It is interesting to know that the family of Bruinsma was not poor, on the contrary and that he liked sailing (Pisces on cusp V), also related to wind. Rudyhar, edition 1973, mentions: a party on a yacht. That is exactly what was going on. He had a yacht, the Neeltje Jacoba, and plenty of parties there. He loed sailing!
The combination of parties on a yacht and an not needed continuation of a fight against strong powers seems to clarify the nature of this chart. Not everybody born on his day of birth became a mafia leader.

TIGHTEST ASPECT
The tightest aspect is the semi square between Mars and Saturn. It is an indication for the possibility of a struggle against the law or for hard and brutal action (striking hard). Notice the 15d aspect between Sun and Saturn (in 12). There seems to be a connection between Saturn in 12 and the disadvantages of the unseen world (maybe behind bars) when Saturn is related to the Sun. There is another possible view of the connection between Mars and Saturn. His father, the owner of a lemonade factory (Raak), used to beat him up. His four children had to clean bottles every Sunday, in spite of the money that the father owned. His carreer, later, seems to have been a protest against authority (his father).

With these observations we have found a passionate and a leader whit influence, who can strike hard and is rather bitter. Now let us see if there is more information available.

PROBLEMS WITH AUTHORITY

Klaas Bruinsma had problems with limitations and liked to step over barriers and break free. Maybe even, his carreer was the revenge for his youth.
In the midpoint analysis there is a frequent pattern of Saturn, Mars, Uranus and Node. It is an indication for attempts to break free the hard way. He liked to provoke authorities and his own family (Saturn, Uranus, Node). This might have been a generational combination, if not Mars had been involved. Mars is the planet of energy and aggression, semi square Saturn (see above). Venus is also involved (conjunct Mars). The combination of Venus, Mars and Saturn is the combination of broken hearts and breaking hearts.

DISASTER
There are very frequent combinations with Uranus and Neptune: nine*). Those combinations can be interpreted as the misty, unseen, amorphous, alternative and strange business, due to a mind that was not working well from time to time. These planets are involved with disaster and hallucinations.
Mercury/Saturn/Node (with Saturn square Node) can be linked to the many travels and broken relationships. This person had to say goodbye very often.

DEATH
He died 27th June 1991. Transits at the time (within 40’ of orb) were:
Transit Uranus square Sun
Transit Pluto square MC
Transit Saturn square ASC
(Note that the 3 most important spots for life were afflicted by the 3 most challenging planets)
Transit Mars conjunct MC
The deathly and violent combination of Mars, Saturn and Pluto hit the angles of the chart and the sudden surprise came from Uranus.

NICKNAME
His nickname was ‘The Vicar’ (in Dutch: de dominee) because he used to be dressed in black and have the attitude of a vicar. Mercury conjunct the Ascendant is for the attitude to have a lot of critic about others and Scorpio (with the important Pluto) is for authority and the color of authority is black. The oriental Moon in Virgo might also be an important tool when it comes to telling other people what to do and how to do it the perfect way.

ASTROLOGY CHART LE CORBUSIER: A passion for patterns

Le Corbusier was a famous architect, born October 6, 1887 at 20h30 in Chaux de Fond. That gave him the birth chart below. It is a chart that shows a passion for patterns.

VENUS MOST PROMINENT
You see Venus, rising before the Sun (in other words: Venus will be the over the Ascendant sooner than the Sun will be). Venus is not making Ptolemaic aspects within orb 5 degrees. That is what makes Venus ‘calling’ . Venus is the oriental planet, square Ascendant. With Venus, symbol of the arts, prominent, you can easily see the importance of style, arts or diplomacy in the life of this man. He will be esthetic at any possible level.

PASSION FOR PATTERNS
Mars, planet of production, is angular (crucial) in this chart. But I also would like to point at the position of Pallas on top. Pallas is the symbol of (re-)organizing things, associating and patterns. Combine this prominent Pallas with the prominence of Mars and Venus and what you get is passion (Venus-Mars) for patterns (Pallas). Below you see a bank designed by Le Corbusier.

Le Corbusier also developed a system, Modulor. The need to shape order might also be related to Moon sextile Saturn, an important very tight aspect in his chart.

STYLE! AND WHERE IS THE ARCHITECT?
This natal chart of Le Corbusier quickly shows us the man with style, but where is the architect in this chart?
The MC (Midheaven) is in Aquarius, sign of the community and of renewal. His style is still modern today! In some ways he was ahead of his time.
Uranus, dispositor of Aquarius and MC, is tightly conjunct the Sun in the 4th equal house of living and houses and in the 5th of Placidus (creation and procreation). Sun conjunct Uranus is the combination for the free will and independent mind and also points at a tendency to be ‘different’.
He wrote several books about architecture. Notice that the MC-routing ends in the mutual reception of Mercury and Pluto (for specialized literature). The Moon sextile Saturn might also be seen as an indication of the issue of building (Saturn) houses (Moon) and the need (Moon) for structure (Saturn).

PERSONAL LIFE?
Le Corbusier had Moon conjunct Pluto in Gemini in the 12th house. To be able to create, it is sometimes necessary to be alone. The Moon in the 12th house also indicates a certain need for privacy. I can find nothing about his private life on the internet….
