3C: characteristics, circumstances, chart

Three is an important number. It takes 3 important transits and/or progressions at the same time to mirror a major event. There are also 3 component to consider and they start with a c:
- character,
- circumstances and
- chart.
As an example: Paris Jackson. She tried to kill herself on June 5, 2013 and it was not for the first time. See how the combination of who, where and in what situation she is, could lead her into hospital.

I CIRCUMSTANCES 
a. Death of famous father
Few people have the same circumstances as Paris Jackson. Paris Jackson doesn't have a common or easy life. In a lot of ways she is exceptional, starting with the conception. Her parents aren't the usual kind of parents. She is in the spotlights because she grew up in the house of the late King of Pop. The synastry between her chart and her father's shows that he almost obsessively protected his little girl. She was the apple of his eye.  His Jupiter was on her Descendant and quindecile her Sun. Now he is dead. He died during transit Saturn conjunct her progressed ruler 8th house: death (8) of a parent (Saturn).

Of course, those are only the facts that we know of... 

b. Age
It is understandable that she misses her father. But there is more. She is also a teenager and therefore in a difficult period in life. She lives with her grandmother, who has strict religious rules that she is not used to follow. Katheryn Jackson's - and those of her generation's - Pluto sits on Paris' IC.  Read 'Pluto when a child is born'. It is about the stress of being a parent (and perhaps a mentor to the child).

II CHART (PROGRESSIONS, TRANSITS)
Progressions and transits give the impression of a difficult period. The present situation is mirrored by uneasy transits and progressions. The dramatic action in the chart of Paris Jackson shows like this:

1 Neptune on Progressed MC is confusing

One year ago the progressed MC was conjunct Neptune and that is very confusing. Her progressed Sun will square Neptune in a few years. She is not out of the danger zone, yet. Especially not, because Neptune is important (square Ascendant and !calling! - without major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees). This important Neptune is pointing at sensitivity for circumstances and situations at any possible level.  Neptune has another meaning and that is 'medication'.  (That is risky, too. Some anti-depression medication are suspected to be related to suicide attempts.)

2 Progressed Sun sign changing is life and lifestyle changes

Her progressed Sun is about to change sign, which is reflecting a period of changing life style. This doesn't help much when stability is needed. Often the period of change of the progressed Sun sign is a turbulent one. It is a chance to start another way of life, however.  Maybe therapy helps her to get there.

3 Transit Uranus and transit Pluto hit Moon and Sun/Moon midpoint

Her Cancer Moon needs to 'belong' to a family or group of people. Her Sun/Moon is square Venus: she wants love, luxury, kindness and pleasure. The natal Moon is in the 11th degree, Venus is in a 28th degree. Transit Uranus and Transit Pluto both hit her Moon, both will hit her Sun/Moon and both will hit Venus later. What does it mean that Uranus-Pluto hits her Moon inconjunct Uranus? This inconjunct makes it worse (see Characteristics below).

Transit Uranus and Pluto are causing extreme emotional tension right now and revolutionary change in the domestic and personal situation. Uranus and Pluto are often seen in cases of arrests, when there is sudden and unexpected change in life. In a way, Paris Jackson experienced such a change. She was taken to hospital and is not allowed to leave. Uranus and Pluto cause instability and unrest. Both planets will strongly change her motivation and sympathies in the coming period of her life. Tensions, normal in a teenager's life, will be extremely strong in hers. 

Natal, transits and progressions June 5, 2013

4. Mars 135 MC
When she cut herself, transit Mars was in the 4th degree of Gemini, sesquisquare her natal Midheaven (frustrated action  and anger)

5. Progression: Saturn instead of Jupiter rising before Sun
In the natal chart Jupiter rises before the Sun, but in the progressed chart it is Saturn. Before she looked at life on the bright side. Now she has become more serious, more worrying. The position of Saturn in the progressed chart makes Saturn's transits and progressions more important now than they used to be. 

There are 3 indications of major change in life, one indication of possible depression and one (on June 5) for taking action, getting hurt.

NOW: MARS-SATURN

Mars is conjunct Saturn in the natal chart of Paris Jackson. In the progressed chart Mars is now in the 5th degree of Taurus. Transit Saturn is opposition her progressed Mars now.
Mars-Saturn is the aspect of discipline, punishment and dead ends, blocked energy and restricted activities. She is in hospital. 
(Again: when a natal aspect is being 'repeated' by a transit or progression, it 'sounds' louder).



III CHARACTERISTICS (BIRTH CHART)
Not every young girl who lost her father will do a suicide attempt. Paris Jackson's chart has two important features holding a risk:

1 Mars Saturn Pluto aspect combination in the natal chart; that is dangerous and warns for untimely death(s) as an issue in life.

Her Mars and Saturn in the 12th house of isolation and are sesquisquare Pluto in the 8th house of life and death. That combination of Mars, Saturn and Pluto is a danger. It is the combination of violent or unnatural death threats. Mars-Saturn and Pluto are the trio of untimely death. 
So, it is important to watch her carefully. She tends to drastic measures. 


2 Moon inconjunct Uranus in the natal chart, hit by transit Uranus and transit Pluto: that is over reaction always and extreme tension at the moment.

See the post on Moon inconjunct Uranus, with more examples like Betty Davis, Jim Bakker, George Harrison and Gerard Depardieu: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2013/04/moon-inconjunct-uranus.html
Quote:

What is that:- A lot of upheaval?- The need for exciting new experiences?- Being rather different from the rest of their family or group, involving a loss or lost contact?

3C
With these aspects in natal, transits and progression, in her situation,  you may expect dramatic and dangerous action in times of trouble (like now).
It is the combination of circumstances, character and chart that does it. Dramatic actions don't come out of the blue because of a transit or progression. Every chart must be seen in the light of the situation, gender, genes, social circuit and culture.  Change one of the ingredients and you change the course of history...


With all that I'd almost forget to mention that basically Paris Jackson just wants peace, love, beautiful things and harmony. Her important Jupiter and Venus could be important in a 'socialite' career, for enjoying parties and having fun. Maybe one day she'll have all that...

A Juno experience

In an earlier post I asked myself if Juno represents Mr or Mrs Right (follow the link to see the post).  I found that if that is true, there are many possible Mr or Mrs Rights in our lives, because there happens to be a variety of transits and progressions with Juno in a life time. Of course, you need to have the right age and circumstances to experience Juno. This week I am one of the examples. I am married for decades, but I signed a civil partnership document, as a witness, in a State Hall. It was my son's official happy day. Juno was there, too.

1. I had transit Juno exactly conjunct my progressed Midheaven.
2. My daughter in law had Progressed Venus - her ruler 7 - on the progressed Descendant and trine the Progressed Midheaven. Her progressed Juno was exactly square the processed Ascendant and inconjunct progressed IC.
Venus AND Juno are both signs of marriage.

To complete it all, the transit Northern Node was conjunct her and my son's Ascendant, symbolizing joining as a family. My son had transit Jupiter trine progressed Moon in the 7th house for the happy moment. Juno didn't hit his natal or progressed chart, but progressed Venus ruler 7 was on the natal midpoint of MC and Mars.

My conclusion: Juno is indeed a symbol of partnership and marriage. I experienced it.

When love is in the air, love is in the sky above. This must be the conclusion when you see the examples of charts  in times of marriage or divorce.

Erika Leonard or E.L. James' best seller writer chart

Just like the charts of movie stars often reflect their main characters, the chart of an author may have aspects in line with his or her main characters or subjects. I found the day of birth of E.L.James (Erika Leonard). Her 'Fifty shades of Grey' is a Best Seller with capital B. It is an erotic trilogy.

Now look at that chart of March 7, 1963. There is a potential for a writer of erotic drama.

WRITER
Mercury is 'calling' (no major aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees) which means: communications (writing, singing, speaker) at any possible level. It is like in the chart of the author of Harry Potter, who also writes with her name in initials: J.K. Rowling.
FANTASY
- Sun trine Neptune: good for fantasy (and hiding behind a pseudo). This aspect is sort of repeated by the placement of the Sun in Neptune-ruled Pisces, with Moon in Sun-ruled Leo.
PASSION
- Venus opposition Mars (passion)
SWEET TENSION
- Venus inconjunct Uranus (desiring tension and surprise in love)
PROFIT
- Venus biquintile Pluto (creative way to earn money and a creative way to deal with intense desires)
SUCCESS
- Jupiter/Pluto midpoint is square natal Sun and that is one of the signs of success. It takes more, but strong self confidence is a good start!

It takes more (like an hour of birth) to complete the picture and find the aspects with Midheaven and Moon. Not every born on the 7th of March 1963 wrote such books. Here are three names of those born on March 7, 1963, too:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_7

• 1963 – Bill Brochtrup, American actor
• 1963 – Mike Eagles, Canadian ice hockey player
• 1963 – Maria Lindström, Swedish tennis player

They don't mention E.L. James on this page,yet, but here is the source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._L._James

View on astro chart of Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden is on the way to Russia, from China, now that I write this (news on CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2013/06/23/politics/nsa-leaks ). He travels with transit Jupiter on his Sun. Jupiter is the symbol of support, help and the international traveller. That is not the only thing that seems to be in line with what is happening. He is world news, things go fast and thanks to Dunyazade's comment I can now give you the natal chart with time of birth. Transit Pluto on the progressed horizon (conjunct Descendant) seems to be an appropiate statement for a difficult situation with lots of stress, pressure and danger.

Here is the hypothetical chart for noon (no hour of birth) with transits and progressions. In important periods in life, there are always more than two indications of an event or change. You may notice that there are three hard progressed aspects, even in this chart without time of birth.

1. Progressed Sun inconjunct Neptune. This is resonating the Sun opposition Neptune aspect in the natal chart. When aspects in the natal chart are 'repeated' or highlighted by transit or progression, it is time for the natal aspect to show up and tell us what it means.  Please read the article on Astromarkt (link below) about the confusing aspect Sun-Neptune.
In this particular case it could be interpreted like the manifestation of secrets with a loss involved.  The aspect is also pointing at having to give up on a certain life style, due to an affair.

2. Progressed Sun is square Saturn (a period in life is ending)
Sun-Saturn shows the nasty sides of life, facing responsibility and 'begin blamed'. Sun-Saturn marks the end of a certain way of life. This progression also marks a break up with his father, who asked him to stop leaking and come home.

Edward Snowden revealed 'government secrets' and may have to spend 30 years in jail or a lifetime abroad. He will not return to the USA as a free citizen. Perhaps that is why we see the third aspect:

3. Progressed Sun inconjunct Ceres, the archetypical mother and the symbol of dynasties, genes, seeds and roots. Sun inconjunct Ceres faces lost roots.

MORE…
In the period of the first mention in the press that Big Brother is really watching us, transit Pluto was inconjunct his natal Mercury, so it was probably a day of intense mental stress. He had moved out of the USA to Hong Kong on May 20, with both Uranus and Pluto in hard aspect with Mercury, telling us about intense strain.

PERSONALITY
The time of birth is unknown, so there can't be a complete analysis. There are certain interesting placements that I like to mention anyway.
a. Snowden has Mars rising before the Sun, like many activists have. It is an indication of wanting to make a statement, ' doing something about it'.
b. There are no placements in earth signs and that is pointing at the importance of materialism, security and safety. Snowden had a good salary before he started leaking information about the government's interest in the people's internet activities.
c. I also like to mention the Scorpio Moon for the strong personality. Bradley Manning and Julian Assange also have the Moon in Scorpio.
d. There is a hugh number of trines, that again doesn't show an easy and peaceful life. See the post on trines and sextiles on this blog: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2013/03/sextiles-trines-and-crime-re-fernandez.html
e. The Sun is in minor aspect with Uranus (157.5, sesquisquare + half semi square, tighter when born in the morning). This attributes to living as 'an alien', for example in another country or as an outsider in your own circle. See http://www.astromarkt.net/sun-uranus.html

The astrology of Snowden seems to be in line with the events.

Fatherday special + royal fathers' charts: George III, George IV and William

It is Father's day.
This post is about royal fathers and the transits and progressions on the day of the birth of their first born, completed with links to posts about father-son relationships, and to more on transits and progressions when a child is born.

MOON-JUPITER and the GEORGES
Yesterday I saw a documentary about the history and interior of Buckingham Palace. I was interested, because when I was in London, I visited the palace. In the documentary they spoke of the kings George III and George IV. The first was a very disciplining father of fifteen (!15!). The last was a self indulging son who like architecture and decorating.

When George IV was born, transit Jupiter was exactly trine the Moon of his father, George III. The  progressed Midheaven of George III was also in hard aspect with Pluto, ruler of his 5th house of children.

George IV had one daughter, Augusta, who died together with the child when her first baby was born. Augusta was born when Jupiter was opposition the Moon of George IV.  He had married her mother (his niece) just to 'produce' a legitimate child and didn't have more children.
Here is the chart of George III with the transits of the day that his son George IV was born:

PRINCE WILLIAM'S FIRST BORN
Two examples of Moon-Jupiter transits/synastry at the time of the birth of the first sun or daughter.
Now how about Prince William and Moon-Jupiter?*)

The transits in this period are pretty nice.
- On the 26th of June Jupiter will be on the Sun of Prince William .
- On the 7th of July transit Jupiter is on his progressed Venus. Those are happy transits.
- On July 17, transit Jupiter is conjunct his Moon and transit Saturn will trine his Moon. There is a third one: transit Mars will be on his Venus then.

Will it be July 17? If so the baby will have a Scorpio Moon for a strong personality, a 'calling' Sun for leadership and drawing attention, a 'calling' Venus for the importance of grace, diplomacy and style and a tight grand trine between Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune.
That grand trine is a bit wider on the 13th. That is when transit Mars is in Cancer, on the Sun of William after 3 a.m.
We'll just have to wait and see:).

PS

In the solar return chart of his birthday on June 21, 2013, Ceres (dynasty, genes) is in the final degree of Cancer. That is  spot on the progressed Sun of the Prince and highlights the theme of motherhood/parenthood. It is been said that his first baby will be born around July 13.

DISCLAIMER
- To avoid any misunderstandings (transit Mercury is square my Neptune now:), it is not so that births always happen when Jupiter is in aspect with the father's Moon.

- Not all British' royals were born with Jupiter-Moon synastry. On the day that Queen Elizabeth II was born, transit Saturn was on the Moon of her father, perhaps because he worried about the event. He died when she was 18.

- In fact, not everybody is born with a Moon-Jupiter transit. This aspect reflects the possibility of a happy moment to remember. In synastry, Jupiter helps and supports (see for an example of Jupiter trine Sun: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2010/02/supportive-father-of-joran-van-der.html).
It is not that easy...

- Others have Pluto transits when their child is born. See: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2011/06/pluto-when-child-is-born.html

http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2010/12/elton-johns-hours-of-birth-and.html
On the day that Elton John's son was born, there was a transit Pluto, too.

Mozart lost four (!) of his six children between 1783 and 1789.  Saturn joins Sun and Mercury in the fifth house of (pro-)creation. At the time of the death of his little son, transit Pluto was in aspect with the 5th house Sun and Mercury. When his little daughter died in 1789 progressed Moon squared Pluto and transit Saturn was on the Moon. 
PS In the natal chart Saturn also rules the 5th house.
