Chart of Lionel Messi

I found the presentation of a chart with hour of birth for the young soccer (football) player Lionel Messi on this site Astrologia Diana Rosa: using Google in Spanish. It is 20:20. I don’t know the source of this hour. Is it coincidence that Spica is on Midheaven, promising wealth and fame or is this a ‘ guess chart’ or ‘ corrected chart’? If that is so, it was a good one, because the positions correspond with what you’d expect, like the Ascendant semi square Saturn (and think of his nick name ' La Pulga', because of being small and fast. Saturn is the symbol of limitations and concentrations (and of small things).
So, here are some of my observations for this chart.

JUPITER-URANUS
Ruler 1 Uranus is in Sagittarius and the angular Jupiter is trine ruler 1 Uranus: double statement for inventive techniques and positive changes in his life because of a helicopter view. These changes, this sudden windfall, is happening now. But this is not the first or the last time that Jupiter and Uranus marked important periods in his career. When he had his debute in the first team of FC Barcelona, transit Neptune would be square progressed Midheaven and Progressed Midheaven would be semi square Uranus (ruler 1) and quindecile Jupiter. Interesting, this repeating pattern of Jupiter and Uranus…Together with Mars, Jupiter and Uranus are in tight aspect with Midheaven in the natal chart, too. The first chart in this post is the debute chart (natal, transits and progressions).

NOW
The progressed Sun has been inconjunct Uranus and that was disturbing his fysical balance, but now the progressed Sun is moving towards a square with his angular Jupiter: it will be OK, he will get better (but maybe not during the first week of this WC). Within one year the Jupiter-Uranus progression has completed and the positive changes have occurred. Here is the chart for now:

MORE…
The angular Jupiter is connected with the Sun by a sesquisemisquare (67.5 degrees). On July 5, 2010 transit Jupiter will be square natal Sun. That is another good sign for success.

Pluto is on top of this chart. Transit Pluto was opposition natal Sun in the last months of 2009, when he won three important cups. Winning also meant stress and a body being ‘ exploited’ and challenged, of course together with a strong will to win and impress. He impressed, but forced to much of himself. That is why he is tired. He is a top scorer with 34 goals in 2009/2010!

Later this summer, in August, there will be another combination of Saturn and Pluto followed by Jupiter and Uranus. But first: the WC! Use the labels under this post for more about football, the Jupiter Uranus combination or the combination of Saturn and Pluto in Sports.

The meeting of the charts of Stephany Flores and Joran van der Sloot

Stephany Flores met Joran van der Sloot on a bad day. Joran van der Sloot had transit Pluto square Mars. Stephany Flores' progressed Mars was inconjunct Pluto. That is reflecting the danger of having to defend yourself and a violent act with a risk of a lost). That is exactly the same interaction as with Natalee Holloway (see below)*)...Mars-Pluto is a difficult and sometimes violent aspect combination.

SHARED MARS-NEPTUNE
Also, he has Mars sesquisquare Neptune and she has Mars square Neptune in the natal chart. Sharing Mars-Neptune with another person is not easy. On Astromarkt I wrote about that:

Mars-Neptune: Being without job, sharing drugs or alcohol or medications. Maybe they are working together in a health or non profit organization. A relationship that does not cheer up…

And that is sometimes an understatement, apparently. There is more, of course, not just in their charts (and we don't know the hours of birth) but also in situation (reflected by the Ascendant) and position (MC). There is (luckily) not much chance to meet a killer and not all women born on Stephany's birthday ended their lives in a hotel room last May.

SYNASTRY
In an earlier post I mentioned the present astrological situation for Van der Sloot (the combination of Mercury-Jupiter-Saturn and Pholus) now that he confessed his crime. His Jupiter and Mercury are square and are square Stephany's Sun, too. His Saturn is sesquisquare her Sun. And his Pholus is sextile her Sun. Her Sun is (in a way) at the crosspoint of his difficult aspect combinations in the natal and progressed chart. And the Sun is the symbol of life...

CONCLUSION
Stephany met the wrong kind of guy on a bad day at the wrong spot.

Many thanks to the person who mailed the birthday of Stephany Flores! Here are the positions for Stephany Flores birthday, transits and progressions and for Joran van der Sloot and Stephany (his natal guess chart -hour of birth is unknown- and the positions in transit for her day of birth).

*)ABOUT THE MARS-PLUTO CONNECTION BETWEEN NATALEE AND VAN DER SLOOT:

Natalee's Mars is afflicting Pluto in her birth chart (and maybe her Moon is inconjunct Pluto)...
Her Mars squares Joran's Pluto.
And her Venus squares his Mars.

When she disappeared Natalee had transit Mars semi square Mars and sesquisquare Pluto, activating the dangerous Mars-Pluto connection in her natal chart.
Joran had T Pluto conjunct Uranus that day and sesquisquare Venus. He also had T Mars sesquisquare Pluto.

The confession of Joran van der Sloot

Joran van der Sloot confessed, says the police in Peru. His progressed chart shows a combination of Mercury-Saturn and Pholus. Does this reflect an official (Saturn) self damaging (Pholus) statement (Mercury)? This combination of Mercury-Saturn and Pholus was already there in the natal chart (without hour of birth) and is repeated now.

Following the earlier messages about the birth positions of Joran van der Sloot, and the post about Van der Sloot being a subject again, here is something about his Mercury. Joran van der Sloot is a good liar (he is a poker player). Afflicted Mercuries point at the ability to vary and twist communications and mental state the hard way. (And some professions aquire a tough or flexible mentality or interest). There is a post about Mercury and lying on this blog here…

MERCURY IN BIRTH CHART
In the natal chart of Joran van der Sloot we see an afflicted Mercury exactly square Jupiter and sesquisquare Saturn. There is also a biquintile with Uranus. He can limit (Saturn), change (Uranus) or expand (Jupiter) facts or subjects of conversation. Those are the kind of qualities that a poker player needs, besides a poker face or a cap to hide your expression.

MERCURY IN THE PROGRESSED CHART: aspects combinations repeated!
In the progressed chart of Joran van der Sloot we see that Mercury moved fast. The afflicted Mercury is now exactly sesquisquare Jupiter and exactly square Saturn.
This means that the original nature of his communications are now ‘ triggered’ by progressions and that his mind has strong ups and downs now.

PHOLUS AND MERCURY
In the natal and progressed chart of Joran van der Sloot, Mercury is in aspect with Pholus, the symbol of turning points and 'shooting your own feet'. In the natal chart Mercury is sextile Pholus, but in the progressed chart there is a 105 degree minor aspect. Progressed and natal Saturn are quindecile Pholus. The Mercury-Saturn-Pholus combination of the natal chart is again active in the progressed chart. We could read the combination as the official statement of a turning point or: ' shooting your own feet with lies'.

And now, confronted with the images of the hotel door on video, Joran van der Sloot confessed.

------------------------------------------
PS His progressed Sun is trine Neptune now. See the Sun-Neptune-posts...

' Am I who I think that I am or am I who others say that I am,'

How about the effect of the 'harmonious' trine? Sometimes trines just make it easy to get isolated and lost with Neptune. It seems that he tried to sell information about the whereabouts of the death body of Natalee Holloway and that the FBI knew it. He was living in a false world of poker games, drugs and illusions.

Click 'sextile' to see more examples of the effect of harmonious aspects.

Helen Thomas, Saturn and Mercury-Uranus

Helen Thomas is an American journalist of almost 90 years old (!!!). She retired this week after a controversial remark about Israel. Transits and progressions mark this moment:

- Transit Saturn semi square natal Sun (a period in life is ending, a goodbye)
- Transit Pluto inconjunct Uranus (sudden unbalancing revolutionary change with a lost involved)
- Progressed Mercury exactly square progressed Uranus (controversial ideas or communications)
There is more (and an hour of birth would give more astrological info, even) but these three are the most important and significant. Click the labels for more examples of the aspect combinations.

See the charts of the day of birth with transits and progressions and the progressed chart with transits.

Astropost: Alan Turing, the chart of a genius

June is the month of birth and death of Alan Turing. You can see the reading of the chart of this genius who saved the lives of many by cracking German codes and was ' rewarded' with prosecution for being gay later, on Astropost. Just use to link to get to the post that I wrote about him last June. In September 2009 the British government apologied for the prosecution.
