Bus accident in Spain

El Mundo reports that on July 30, 2009 at about 23h10 there was a tragic accident with a bus that cost the lives of 6 Dutchmen (at least). This is the chart for that moment with Venus, dispositor of the eight house of life and death, opposition Midheaven and sesquisquare Uranus/Pluto, Uranus on the Ascendant and a 'calling' Pluto without aspects. MC+Uranus+Pluto have an effect of dramatic changes. The oriental Mars is pointing at speed (action in the first place) and Uranus on the Ascendant is almost synomymous with accidents (tension, hectic situation and surprises). Mars is quindecile Midheaven.

In the article about accidents on Astromarkt and on this blog under the label 'accidents' you may find more astonishing examples of the effect of Mars and Uranus. BTW: Mercury is inconjunct Uranus for the unbalanced motorized transportation: the bus fell on one side.

Charts like this do not implicate that accidents are inevitable. They just shwoe that there are certain moments that allow incidents like this to happen.

Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador; a matter of Mars

Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador keep arguing and wrangling in public. Mars is the symbol of fighting (and competition). Mars is strongly involved in this matter.

Mars of Lance Armstrong is sextile Contador's Sun, 15 degrees from Contador's Mars.
In the composite chart the Sun is square Mars, because Contador's Mars is trine Armstrong's Sun.

Got the picture? Here it is:

...the harmonic synastry aspects of Sun and Mars is a square in the composite chart because sextile + trine divided by two is a square (60+120)/2=90 and because they both have a minor aspect between Sun and Mars in the natal charts (sesquisquare and semi square = 180/2=90).

That means that when you ARE team mates and cooperating in harmony (harmonious Mars) there can be an underlying competition (the synastry chart), too.

Mars is also parallel Mars in synastry!

Well, that explains, doesn't it? It also might just be an overload of adrenaline...

Nicolas Sarkozy hospitalized (how about the chart?)

On July 21, 2009 Mr. Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, former secretary of NATO, had his goodbye party when he suddenly collapsed. It was international news, see China view.... He was born April 3, 1948 in Amsterdam and transit Neptune was trine his Uranus when he fainted and transit Mars square progressed Mars.

Today, Nicolas Sarkozy, the President of France, was hospitalized for examinations after feeling unwell while pratising sports. CNN reported about it...

Uranus and Neptune
Uranus and Neptune together are the principle of elimination of the waking consciousness (Ebertin: The combination of Stellar Influences). Today transit Neptune is inconjunct the Ascendant of the French President. Uranus is opposition his Ascendant. Transit Mars is sextile natal Mars.

The blissful realization
With Jupiter trine Midheaven and inconjunct Uranus there was a bit of luck. He was with body guards at the time of the incident, so he was helped immediately. Mr. De Hoop Scheffer was surrounded by others as well. When he got ill he had the same 'thank God'-combination: transit Uranus square progressed Jupiter + Uranus and in this period he has progressed Jupiter opposition Uranus. Let's hope for him that this indication of relief is justified. The chart of his wife Carla shows a shock.

Intense shock
Today Uranus is conjunct the Midheaven and Pluto exactly conjunct the Sun of Carla Bruni and those are the kind of transits that reflect a dramatic shock. She also has transit Saturn opposition progressed Mars, while Sun and Pluto are on the Descendant of her solar return chart for this year. This incident might be the shock that is being reflected by the transits.

The chart of the Texas shooting

This is the chart of the shooting yesterday in Houston Texas (drawn at www.astro.com). Just like in the charts of the Dunblane Massacre and the school shooting in Germany, Mars and Uranus are prominently placed in this one. At the moment of the drive-by shooting at the Texas University Mars was important as the first planet rising before the Sun and Venus. Mars is quintile Uranus (offering an opportunity for a creative way to 'explode'). Uranus is ruling the Ascendant and Uranus doesn't make major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees. That makes Uranus an important planet in this chart. Uranus is trine Midheaven.
Pluto is also 'calling' (not making major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees). Pluto rules the Midheaven.

That completes the same picture as in the charts that you can see in the earlier post, about Dunblane and Germany. Apparently, when Mars, Uranus and Pluto are important and one of these planets has a contact with the MC, it is a risky moment of possible violence. The combination is frequently active in case of accidents and impulsive (sometimes dramatic) acts. More about the combination of Mars-Uranus in natal charts, on my site Astromarkt or click the labels for more info and examples.

Conrad Murray, Saturn and Michael Jackson

Conrad Murray is the last (doctor) who saw Michael Jackson alive. He is perhaps in big trouble. He might have been responsible or might be held or feel responsible for the death of MJ. There is a big question mark about his guilt or responsibility in this now that the potential lethal Propofol was found in the second authopsy, as well as traces of injections.

In 'Astrological' question marks are oppositions; guilt or responsibility is symbolised by Saturn (Roman God of time). Medications (and drugs) are related to Neptune.
Now watch how Saturn is involved in this. Dr. Murray has a difficult progression with Saturn. His progressed Sun and the progressed Sun of Michael Jackson reached the point of the doctor's Saturn in this year. Is that coincidence? Or does it mean that there was a starring role for Michael Jackson in the bad times for Dr. Murray? And there is more about Saturn...

On Murray's day of birth the Sun did not make major aspects in sign. That makes the Sun very important. It draws attention, too.
Saturn was rising before his Sun. That is reflecting a serious man, a person with ambitions. Saturn is prominent in his chart.

When he became MJ's doctor in 2006, the progressed Sun of Murray was opposition progressed Neptune and later the progressed Sun was opposition progressed Saturn.

In the progressed chart of Murray Saturn is conjunct Neptune in 2009.

On the moment of MJ's pronounced death the Ascendant was conjunct Murray's natal Neptune. The Midheaven of that tragic moment was at 26d Cancer; square the midpoint of Saturn and Neptune in the natal chart of Dr. Murray. Every day there are moments when the actual Midheaven is in hard aspect your Saturn/Neptune midpoint. In the given situation and circumstance Midheaven square Saturn/Neptune was a very tragic deceptional aspect mirroring how Dr. Murray must have felt when he heard the news.

In this year, the progressed Sun of Murray is opposition natal Saturn, highlighting his bad sides and the disadvantages of life in general. It is a depressing aspect.

His natal Saturn is conjunct the progressed Sun of Michael Jackson and his progressed Sun is opposition MJ"s Sun. (In other words: the progressed opposition of Sun and Saturn in the chart of the doctor is related to the progressed Sun of Michael Jackson. This relates his depression and bad times to the vitality (or not) of MJ. Perhaps he is and maybe he feels responsible for the death of MJ.)

Murray and Michael Jackson apparently met at the wrong moment and Murray made a bad decision in 2006. Saturn and Neptune don't promise a rose garden. They often reflect hard and difficult times.

Conrad Murray's day of birth is February 19, 1953 (in Grenada). That is the same day of birth as Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Presidente of Argentina, who faces hard times because of the crisis and other hard circumstances and just lost the majority in parliament today!

Individuals are created by the mix of circumstances, conditions, gender and genes and...the people that they meet...An hour of birth would give insight in the crucial positions of the chart, but still...Astrology is no tool for a judge. Astrology is an instrument for considerations only.
