What Phillip Garrido and Josef Fritzl share...

Phililip Garrido (the man who kidnapped Jaycee) and Josef Fritzl didn't only capture and hide a girl, they also fathered her children. That makes them different then, for example, Marc Dutroux. There are two important aspects that Fritzl and Garrido share:

1. How to realise a dream?
The aspect between Sun and Neptune enables a person to either be a dreamer and dream his life away or to realise dreams. The Sun-Neptune aspect also creates frauds, if necessary.

Phillip Garrido and Josef Fritzl both have an aspect between Sun and Neptune. Garrido has Sun opposition Neptune. Josef Fritzl has Sun biquintile Neptune. In an earlier post about Sun-Neptune aspects I wrote this:

It is easy to believe and it is easy to pretend with a Sun-Neptune aspect in your chart. You could be very naïve or a con man, but in a way your way of living has something ‘double’.

Phillip Garrido and Josef Fritzl pretended to be good neighbours and nice persons. They created a place to hide their true lives and were in fact actors in their own movie. That is very much Sun-Neptune...They also convinced themselves that they were good persons. Fritzl wanted to 'protect his daughter'. Garrido thinks that he is the messenger of angels. They lived in a world of fantasy and fraud and are now (hopefully forever) hidden behind the walls of their prison cells.

With Sun-Neptune aspects you can be or appear to be who ever you like. Actors and idols and dreamers often have Sun-Neptune aspects. These aspects CAN be used for the benefit of others. And sometimes the given ability to pretend can be abused.

2. Intense desire(to have and to hold)
Another aspect that Fritzl and Garrido share is: Venus-Pluto. Fritzl has a sextile, Garrido has a square. I have written about Venus-Pluto (the beauty and the beast) on Astromarkt before. Here I want to add that Pluto always intensifies and when Venus is being intensified feelings and desires are, too. Both men have intense desires and strongly focus on what they want to have. As Venus describes the relationships with women and Pluto symbolises the ability to impress, to have authority or money, it is understandable that the issue of money and values is important. Earning money, impressing ladies with what you have...Fritzl had money and he had the complete authority over women in his households.
There is nothing wrong with strong desires and earning money or the desire to impress others with your belongings as long as nobody gets hurt like the victims of these two elderly men were. These men are criminals and what they wanted was unwanted.

The two aspects don't explain their behaviour, but they contribute to the complete picture. A criminal is not a criminal because of one aspect or placement. What they also share is an Aries Sun. But of course, those who are born under Aries don't share anything with them. Both men have the Moon in capital signs, but it may be coincidence. They are - luckily! - exceptional products of genes, gender, circumstances, experiences, situations and a rare combination of aspects in their natal charts. In our world what they want and what they did is strictly forbidden and they knew it. Let us hope that their victims manage to enjoy life as it should be.

Chart of Edward Kennedy, his death and his brothers

Edward Kennedy's brothers John and Robert were murdered, shot. Edward Kennedy lived to be 77 years old. Of course, the big difference is that Edward Kennedy never was a member of the USA government and never was the ultimate candidate for the Democratic Party. Those are circumstances just like the changing times (he was the youngest brother). But, can we also see that difference in level of danger in his chart? Yes we can.

Robert and John had important Mars, Saturns and Plutos together with a link between the Sun or ruler 1 and the eight house of life and death. Edward however had minor aspects between Mars, Saturn and Pluto, a prominent Mars and Saturn, but…not such a prominent Pluto and no link between the Sun or ruler 1 and the eight house of life and death. I will tell more about it and I will have a (second) look at the natal chart of Edward Kennedy in this post. For more posts related to the Kennedy's, see the link at the bottomline.

ROBERT
His brother Robert had an important Saturn. Saturn was rising before the Sun and ruling the Midheaven at the time and place of his birth. Moon and Jupiter were on top of his chart; Venus and Pluto were on the meridian. Also, Mars doesn't make major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees. Saturn, Pluto and Mars hold PROMINENT positions in the chart. The complete pattern of unnatural death is PROMINENT in his chart.
The Scorpio Sun (ruled by Pluto) and Capricorn Moon (ruled by Capricorn) make him a 'die hard', someone who easily makes enemies and who is a keen politician, too. Notice that his Ascendant is in Aries (ruled by Mars), so that the same pattern of Mars, Saturn and Pluto is again highlighted in the character.

The important position of Pluto, ruler of the 8th house of life and death, opposition his Midheaven is reflecting the meaning of his death in a public place or related to his public function. His Sun was inconjunct the Ascendant (on the cusp of the eight house).

JOHN

Brother John had Saturn on top of his chart, an unaspected Pluto and Mars rising before the Sun. Mars is semi square Pluto (political struggle is one of the possibilities with this aspect; using force, influence or violence or...having to defend yourself is another possibility). The planets of the principle of unnatural death were all three PROMINENT in his chart and the world remembers him mostly because of his untimely death. Also, ruler 1 Venus is in the 8th house of life and death and also ruling the 8th house. The Sun was positioned in the eight house.

EDWARD had the issue of unnatural death in his chart and he dealt with the issue. Unlike his brothers’ charts his one does not have a prominent Pluto. Pluto's opposition with the Ascendant is a bit too wide (more than 5 degrees). And the ruler of the eight house is not prominent and doesn't have a relationship with the Midheaven of with the first house. The Sun is in the second house (opposition Moon and Neptune in the eight). The opposition can often be ‘translated’ into ‘others, someone else’. Someone else died and that strongly influenced his life.

So, the indications in his chart are not as strong as they are in the charts of his brothers. This, with the fact that his position never was as influential and dangerous as his brothers’ positions, allowed him to become 77. If you want to read more about his chart, read on…

HIS CHART

Observations: Edward's chart has an oriental Mars for the activist.
Ceres is conjunct his Ascendant, to illustrate the importance of the dynasty.
Juno is opposition Ascendant to mark the importance of marriage and partners.
Saturn doesn't make major aspects in sign or orb 5 degree to illustrate that he had ambition at any possible level.

Death and obstacles for the career
Mars is semi sextile Saturn and biquintile Pluto: violent, unnatural death causes were certainly part of his life.

He lost his brothers by violence and he was involved in the accidental death of a secretary (who was his lover). The affair cost him the chance to be a president, forever. He left her death body in his car without warning the police and went to sleep. That was on July 18, 1969, with transit Mars square Sun and semi square Uranus (being hit, hurt, an accident; see the article about accidents on Astromarkt.). He was lucky to have brothers in the government to support him (progressed trine of Jupiter and Midheaven) in that period. But he could never step in his brothers' footsteps anymore.

Unaspected Saturns ruling the first house warn for the possibility of rise and fall at any possible level. Nevertheless he gave it a try in the 1980 pre-elections with progressed Sun and Mercury square Pluto ruler Midheaven, but Jimmy Carter had better cards and so he gave up on August 12, 1980. Neptune was trine progressed Sun, trine progressed Mercury, trine progressed Uranus and inconjunct progressed Pluto. It was a good moment (trines) to give up and withdraw (Neptune) even though it had a price (Pluto). Also transit Pluto was opposition Mercury and Uranus and square Pluto. He was forced (Pluto) to change his mind (Mercury-Uranus). It was a bad sign that Saturn was on the Ascendant of his solar return chart in 1980. This position made it clear that it was time to fulfill the promises of Saturn's position in the natal chart. His ambitions had reached a limit. Other nasty conflicts in the chart are Sun semi square Uranus (for being part of a controversy) and opposition Neptune (for being a suspect, or being seen in a negative light). These aspects contributed to the gate that marked the dead end road to the top.

The Moon conjunct Neptune and biquintile Venus may be fortunate aspects for artists or for people who need vision and style in their job, but in the chart of others it might lead to romantic affairs and divorce. He married twice.

HONOUR
Later Edward Kennedy did a good job as a senator, especially since about 1995. In that year the Sun and Midheaven in the progressed chart were about 120 degrees apart (a trine) and also trine Neptune. There was, in other words, a grand trine of Sun, Neptune and Midheaven. It was after his second marriage (with Victoria Anne Reggie) in 1992. It must have been a marriage that changed his life and lifestyle, because his progressed Sun changed sign in those years!

With Jupiter 112.5 d from AC/MC and Pluto sesquisquare Sun/Moon in the natal chart there was enough strategy, authority and support. The official honor that he receives after his death fits with position of his progressed Sun trine progressed Midheaven. This aspect is full after his death and was within an orb of 1.5 degree since his second marriage. From that moment on he started to have an appreciated and honorable position in the Senate.

A remembered affair (Moon-Neptune) influenced his career (sextile Midheaven), but he didn't stop and continued his work in politics. The effect of Saturn is that one does his duty and makes career, anyhow, even after the fall.

Saturn-Uranus effect re: Jayce Lee Dugard

The combination of Saturn and Uranus has a nasty effect on liberty, independence and freedom (of speach, behaviour), always; Jayce Lee Dugard, Natascha Kampusch, Elisabeth Fritzl and Sabine Dardenne found out hów nasty the effect can be in certain circumstances...It is Saturn who mutilated Uranus.

Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped when she was only 11 and gave birth to a child when she was 13/14 years old and a second child 4 years later. The children (age 11 and 15) never went to school or to a doctor. A pedophile hid her and her children in his back yard for 18 years. The age of 11/12 seems to be a dangerous ages for girls. Her story reminds us of Natascha Kampusch and Elisabeth Fritzl, whose charts are on this blog, too (see the links at the bottom of this post).

SABINE
Sabine Dardenne (surviving victim of Marc Dutroux, born October 28, 1983) was also only 12 when Dutroux abducted her. He closed her in with progressed Sun square progressed Ceres and with an important combination of transits with her Sun. Transit Uranus square Sun and transit Saturn inconjunct Sun on a day with solar transit inconjunct Saturn and opposition Uranus. Just like in the chart of Natascha Kampusch*) Saturn and Uranus together reflected seclusion and the end of freedom. In her natal chart Saturn is semi sextile Uranus and conjunct Sun. Marc Dutroux's (see his chart on my site Astromarkt...) Mars was exactly opposition hers (so that he was attracted to her) and his Uranus was square her Saturn...again Saturn and Uranus!

NATASCHA
Natascha Kampusch has 10 sextiles and trines in her chart. That makes it rather difficult to escape, because these so called harmonious aspects don't produce action. They produce acceptation. The Saturn-Uranus conjunction is very influential in her chart. It is the combination of restricted freedom and the rebellion against is. In the reading of her chart you may see how active this combination was at important moments in her life. The man who held her in his house was named Priklopil. When he kidnapped Natascha transit Uranus was conjunct his Saturn. The Saturn/Uranus connection in this case is obvious. His Uranus is opposition her Sun. Her midpoint Saturn/Uranus is biquintile his natal Sun. His midpoint Saturn/Uranus is square her natal Ascendant...

JAYCEE LEE DUGARD's CHART

Here are the positions on the day of birth of Jaycee Lee Dugard, born May 3, 1980 in Anaheim and who disappeared June 10, 1991 from South Lake Tahoe. Jaycee Lee Dugard's astrological combinations are different from those of Natascha and Elisabeth and Sabine, of course. But one thing is exactly the same. It is a Saturn-Uranus combination. On the day of birth of Jaycee Lee Dugard the Sun was related to the midpoint Saturn/Uranus (a 157.5 degree minor hard aspect - sesquisquare + half semi squar).

Sun-Uranus connection
The progessed Sun of Jaycee was conjunct the progressed Sun of the man who stole her out of her life in 1991 (Remember that Elisabeth and Joseph Fritzl were born on the same day, so with Sun conjunct Sun?) That is when their lives joined. In 1991 her progressed Sun was opposition Uranus, reflecting a sudden change caused by others. So Phillip Garrido's Sun was opposition her Uranus, too. He became the living symbol of the contrary (opposition) of what freedom (Uranus) is.
Phillip Garrido who (with the help of his wife) kidnapped her, was born April 5, 1950.

On June 10 transit Uranus was trine her natal Sun (= it was an easy day for the announced sudden change of progressed Sun opposition Uranus).
Now that she is free again, transit Saturn is sextile her progressed Uranus, for an easy way to break free...

Read the story on LA Times.../

LITTLE SAILOR GIRL
The Saturn-Uranus combination is not always as hard and dramatic as in the cases of the abducted and abused girls above. In my country a 13 year old wants to sail around the world SOLO and she is fighting court for that right. Her parents won't stop her, officials will...
Uranus is the oriental planet on the 29th of February 1996, when she was born. Uranus is semi quintile Saturn. Uranus is semi square Sun/Saturn in her natal chart. It is obvious that she wants to break free. The girl was held in the UK last year, when she tried to sail back on her own from the UK to the Netherlands. Now she wants to sail from New Zealand (where she was born) but the authorities of NZ told the press that they will not allow this. Her progressed Sun is almost conjunct Saturn...this is mirroring the situation: she is meeting restrictions, limitations and the law. And because the progressed Sun will be septile her natal Uranus, maybe this period will inspire her. It is a different 'lack of liberty', but it is still the effect of Saturn and Uranus.
Read the full story...

SAGITTARIUS, VIRGO, PISCES AND GEMINI
Many Sagittarians, Virgos, Piscis and Geminis had a transit of both Saturn and Uranus with the natal Sun lately. They experienced the effect in all kinds of ways. As a Sagittarian I dealt with the transit, too. I limited the amount of working hours and limited the access to a blog. Saturn-Uranus sometimes just wakes you up to see that there is a limit. Good line to end a post with, don't you think?

The money in the chart of Sarah Ferguson

Poor Sarah Ferguson? She is filming a documentary in a poor neighbourhood and had so much critics and remarks about patronizing and hypocrisy that she (according to the Daily Mail) fled to Spain, where she stays with former husband Andrew in a 30+ million pound worth estate. Money, money, money, it is not always funny!:)

The planets of money and values, Venus and Pluto are on her Midheaven and rising before the Sun to express the importance of earning money. She was super rich, she went bankrupt, she came back and now she is down a bit. The progressed Moon is making aspects with Neptune and Pluto, just like in her natal chart.

Progressed Moon inconjunct Pluto and square Neptune seems to me the ideal aspect combination to look for (and find) shelter, but it is also an aspect combination that reveals sadness. In her natal chart the Moon is inconjunct Pluto AND Neptune. Moon inconjunct Pluto makes it hard to behave like you should. The effect is that a person sometimes looses control over the way of living (Sun) or the way of behaving (Moon). Perhaps the combinattion with Neptune makes her extra vulnerable. The public (and media) opinion can be hard. The natal chart of Sarah Ferguson - with the Moon (behaviour, popularity) inconjunct Venus-Pluto on MC) - warns about possible financial misbehaviour. Maybe she learned how to control her food and money problems, but since she is a Duchess it is rather strange to see her in this documentary and in that place. She is better off now. I think that she is recovering and supported (transit Jupiter is exactly trine her natal Sun). Hmm...Spain!

PS More than a year ago I wrote about the match (or not) between Sarah and Prince Andrew. Cick HERE for that post...

The sunshine sunsign holiday guide

Was your holiday perfect? Or do you wonder where to go next time? Here is the astrological sun sign sunshine guide to help you on the way...Try to have a mix of the signs of the Sun, Moon, Ascendant and perhaps Venus, too, for you and your fellow travelers. Also consider the position of Jupiter in the chart! You find the info that you need on www.astro.com (free charts).
Check your sign...

Aries and Mars: activity, walking, biking, working...They need something to do! I know an Aries who insist to have active holidays. His Capricorn Ascendant leads him to mountain sides...

Taurus and Venus: lazy holidays, art and culture (drawing, painting), it is important for them to have good meals. I know a Taurus who doesn't leave without a bag full of food.

Gemini and Mercury: interesting places, trips with young folks, short trips and city trips, learning a foreign language abroad. It is important to have contact and often they need a dance floor or a dancing nearby.

Cancer and Moon: simple, not expansive and like at home (in a tent, caravan or in the house of relatives), back to the spot of last year again...Or why not stay at home or buy a home in another country (to feel at home wherever you are...). The Netherlands is a Cancer country with the highest number of caravans pro family in the world...

Leo and Sun: wants to have a party, glamour hotels and certainly not in a modest tent. Wants sunshine! Leo Ascendants like to give

Virgo and Mercury: useful trips to decent spots and virgin beaches, but why not to Switzerland (Virgo country)?

Libra and Venus: nice holidays with some luxury and comfort in beautiful areas.

Scorpio and Pluto: wild country sides, rough terrain, the challenging holiday, trips that require force or courage.

Sagittarius and Jupiter: country life (or on the balcony), exotic countries, educational trips or some place to brag about.

Capricorn and Saturn: climbing mountains, cold places, economic (...) holidays, crossing borders.

Aquarius and Uranus: group travel or with friends, city trips, something extraordinary or special (that no one else did before:), trip around the world.

Pisces and Neptune: swimming, sailing, cruises, indulging holidays but also: the trip to an isolated convent and ...going far, far away.

Signs and the position of Jupiter or placements in the houses of the movable signs (3, 6, 9, and 12) contain information about your preferences on vacation. I, for example, have Sun in Sagittarius, Moon in Aquarius and Pisces Ascendant conjunct Jupiter in 12. I am not surprised that I need to have at least a few days by or on the sea to feel that I hád a holiday. And when I have a holiday, I love to see cities, too.
I know a Capricorn boy who swears that he always wants to go to the mountains (ain't no mountain high enough!) and a Leo who refuses to sleep in a tent. How about you?

WHERE IS JUPITER?
Jupiter in 1: you could go alone or at least: find out how and what all by yourself (so you don't need this guide:)

Jupiter in 2: expenditure and value are important.

Jupiter in the houses 3, 4, 7 or 11: you prefer to go with others (family, friends) or others stimulate you to travel. While on your holiday spot, you want to have contact with other tourist or the locals.

Jupiter in 5: the pleasure of the kids is important, but... you love to travel a lot always.

Jupiter in 6: you need a purpose for a trip abroad and hygiene.

Jupiter in 8: risky and dangerous challenging trips...

Jupiter in 10: trips for your reputation or for your career or status

Jupiter in 12: going somewhere distant, incognito and whit a lot of privacy.

Right?

Of course there is more in the chart to help you select your (almost) perfect vacation. Here are some famous examples of the observations that you might take into consideration (like the ninth house, the house of traveling):

Michael Palin (the well known globetrotter) has Mars in the ninth house (work related journeys) and Jupiter in 12 in Cancer (distant travels but in a trusted environment). The ruler of Mars is Neptune in 3. The connection between the houses 3 and 9 is indicating education or publicity. It is very important to impress or be impressed (Pluto conjunct de Leo Ascendant). I wonder where he goes for holidays. I assume it will be in a secret place (12th house Jupiter) on a country side (Taurus Moon and Sun).

Princess Máxima of The Netherlands likes to make short trips to cities (Milano; Moon in Aquarius in 3). When she has a long stay abroad, she wants privacy (Jupiter in 12 in Sagittarius; she and her husband Prince William-Alexander sue AP for making pictures of them while they were skiing in Argentina) and goes far away, to exotic places (like Africa). With Neptune ruler 4 in 12 she lives in another continent since her marriage.

Agatha Christie loved to travel and she had Jupiter in the 5th house.

Angelina Jolie has Jupiter on Midheaven and the Moon in the 9th house of international traveling. She has houses (Moon) all over the world.

PS Maybe you developed a different style of traveling? Have a look at your progressive Sun sign, too, to see why. I for example had the progressed Sun in Capricorn since I was 10. The first trip that I booked was to the French Alps. (I wonder if I will do cruises only when the progressed Sun changes sign to Pisces:)

Whatever you do and wherever you go: take care and have a nice holiday to look forward to!
