Living example of Uranus-Pluto: Dieudonné M'bala M'bala

Uranus is square Pluto, still and Mars adds some fuel. You can see it in the New Year's chart.

Some of what happens these days perfectly mirrors Uranus-Pluto. This post is about a man born in 1966. That was with Uranus conjunct Pluto.

Remember the post on 'Resonance', the effect of the interaction between mundane transit aspects and natal aspects?*)

Quote:

When a transit repeats a natal aspect combination, this transit resonates the natal aspect. It sounds and resounds. It sounds harder on fruitful ground.

The generation of the mid-sixties is likely to be 'hit' by Uranus-Pluto's square. M'bala M'bala is one of them.

DIEUDONNE

Dieudonné M’bala M’bala was born in the decade of the 'protest generation' and is now the example of a ‘living Uranus-Pluto’. He is one of the most controversial persons in France today. I'll tell you why.

He is the inventor of the ‘quenelle’, a salute that reminds us of the Nazi salute. He is said to be an anti-Semite because what he says is anti-Semite. He is supporter of and supported by the regime in Iran, they say. He has been convicted seven times on antisemitism charges. He is friends with the right wing, while he used to be an anti racist left wing activist.

When the polemics started, in 2002, his progressed Sun was changing sign. That is the mark of a changing life style, a new period in life. … For more you just have to Google him.

That is one side of M'bala M'bala. He also has a lot of fans and followers (copying his gesture, the quenelle). Jupiter inconjunct Neptune, in aspect with the Sun is one of the indications for this. People all over France (and in the USA) are making selfies with the quenelle, on spots related to Jews.

This is his chart, with today's transits and progressions.

URANUS-PLUTO

His natal chart is very Uranus-Pluto:

1. Sun Aquarius (ruled by Uranus) with Moon in Scorpio (ruled by Pluto) for a rather radical character
2. Uranus is conjunct Pluto in his natal chart

Right now there is Uranus square Pluto and Mars is adding some fuel to this aspect. This combination hits his Progressed Sun and Mercury. In the progressed chart that you see here, Mars is inconjunct Uranus-Pluto. That is a sign of crisis (see the links for more examples).

Also, the Progressed Sun is conjunct Eris (the symbol of discord).

LINKS

1. The exact square between Sun and Neptune in his natal chart really causes confusion. People like Woody Allen seriously think that M’bala M’bala is just joking (http://www.legorafi.fr/2013/05/15/woody-allen-dieudonne-est-le-plus-grand-humoriste-juif-de-tous-les-temps/ )

Is it an act? Then who is the real M’bala M’bala? For more on Sun-Neptune and being 'double': http://astromarkt.net/sun-neptune.html

2. I checked what happened when Uranus hit Pluto in history (here: http://www.astromarkt.net/uranus-pluto-history.html ). The mid sixties, when Mao had his cultural revolution, in the time of the beat-generation.

The best days of Capricorn 2014

In addition to the best days for Scorpio and Sagittarius, here are those for Capricorn.

Capricorns born between January 3 and Jaunary 19 will have a pleasant start of the New Year, even if they aren't enjoying a holiday and even it they are not in love. That is because Venus is in their sign!

Earlier born Capricorns already enjoyed the nice influence of Venus in November or December 2013. And those born on January 18, 19 or 20 will have to wait until Venus goes direct, in March 2014.

Capricorns have good times in March or April, too, when their Progressed Sun is in good aspect with Venus. Also, the period from the end of May until the final week of June is perfect for holidays and meeting new people (or lovers). And it just doesn't end. The good times return in September and in December (from 10-end). Now, isn't that good news? There is even more good news for some generations. They will have Jupiter on their Uranus. Read about it here: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2012/12/the-good-news-of-2013-and-2014.html

The position of Jupiter in Cancer (a sign opposite Capricorn) allows the Capricorns to join in the happiness of other people. That doesn't mean that there is nothing left for the Capricorn. A person is not a sign and a personal chart has it's own indications of progress or decay. Also, the elder Capricorn might be supported by Jupiter in Cancer. If you were born on January 1, 1954, for example, your will have a beautiful trine of Jupiter with your Sun. That is a great help! There will be a similar moment like that early August 2014, for the Capricorn born on December 30, 1929.

THRILLING

I must add that the Uranus-Pluto square hits many Capricorns born between December 31 and January 6, next year. Please read about that square, about the transits and their meaning and prepare for some hectic times with lots of nerves and changes. It might even look like in a thriller sometimes! So you may need those nice days of 2014...

I hope that the information about your 'best moments' will guide you throughout all that in 2014!

Have a great new solar year!

The chart of New Year 2014

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. It is not a special astrological moment, like Zero Aries (the beginning of the Astrological New Year), but for many of us it is a special moment that we celebrate with bubbles and good wishes. For those who consider the 0h0m of January 1 as the overture of the year to come, the chart of that moment is an important one. So let's create them! However, every city, town or village has it's own New Year's chart. Here is the NY-city New Year chart.

Click to enlarge

In Western Europe the Ascendant is in early Libra, but in Eastern Europe and the Middle East the Ascendant at 0 hours is in hard aspect with Mars and Pluto. So it is in New York. On the angles are Mars, Pluto and Uranus and that looks quite alarming. But, there was no such thing in the NY New Year chart of 2001! And that is why I say that a New Year's Eve chart is valid as long as your resolutions are. Take my word for it: that is not very long!:)

The New Year's chart is valid for thAt specific moment. Four times a day the Mars-Uranus-Pluto combination will be on the horizon and meridian of many cities in the world, these days. We see terrorist attacks in Volvograd, riots in Turkey and danger all over the world. The Uranus-Pluto square is a mundane signal of upheaval, arrests, protests and rebellion. Mars adds some fuel to this square, now.
The Mars-Pluto square is exact in the New Year's chart. This aspect hits the 10-12 degrees of the cardinal signs and the 25-27 degrees of the fixed signs and urges to be alert if you have a chart position there. Mars-Pluto hits my Sun/Moon midpoint and my husband's Sun. We will have to be careful not to bite in hard nuts and bruise our teeth, not to get hit by someone's firework or car and just like with Xmas we will count to 10 until we drop. In that case, I'll be back in 2014! Meanwhile: have a great Year End Party.

Jupiter, the bright star that you will see these nights, is the symbol of hope. This symbol is right above your head when the New Year starts. You might regard that as a signal, like someone watching over you. Be safe and keep hoping!

Transits and progressions of Michael Schumacher's accident

The German F1 racer Michael Schumacher had a terrible ski-accident and is now in coma. The doctors say there is nothing more they can do but wait. Accidents don't come alone: they are accompanied by more than 2 important transits or progressions, always. The former Stigg had a number of dramatic aspects yesterday. They indicate being confused or isolated, warn for getting hurt and needing a cure. They also include challenge, danger and problems.

1. Progressed Sun is exactly square progressed Neptune.
This aspect often accompanies a period of withdrawal or isolation. In the natal chart the Sun is semi square Neptune and Neptune is angular. That increases the importance of this progression.
He is in coma and in hospital and that seems to correspond with the nature of Neptune.

2. Progressed Mars and Progressed Pholus both semi square transit Pluto
This aspect warns for danger of injuries.

The two aspects above are valid even if the hour of birth is not completely correct. For the other transits and progressions, it takes more than that.

3. Transit Pluto on natal Sun/Moon midpoint (if the time of birth given by Astrodatabank is correct)
Sun/Moon is the point of heart and soul and of being motivated or not. Pluto intensifies motivations. The Sun/Moon-Pluto combination highlights crisis, issues of life and death and challenges in general.

4. Transit Mars square natal Moon
This is for a moment with a risk of getting hurt.

5. Transit Chiron is conjunct Progressed Moon, mirroring the need to heal.

6. Progressed Venus is inconjunct Progressed IC and in a growing sesquisquare with progressed Neptune.

There is no involvement of the 8th house, except for Pluto (natural ruler of 8) and Mars (ancient natural ruler of 8). In January and April/May transit Jupiter will be on the Progressed Ascendant (provided that the hour is correct!). Jupiter is the symbol of doctors, helpers and sometimes of hope that things will be getting better. His Jupiter, however is the ruler of the 8th house of life and death and of crisis. Given the situation, we will have to wait, see and hope for the best…

Here are the charts (a click to enlarge them):

The Xmas-night chart

Click for a bigger picture

Above is the Xmas-night chart for December 25, 0 hours at Bethlehem. Almost right above the heads of those in Bethlehem is Jupiter, the planet of hopes. Jupiter is in the sign Cancer (the sign of the traditions). Sounds great and the beautiful trine of Moon in Virgo - symbol of the Virgin) with Venus (peace and harmony) seems to complete the picture of holy night, silent night. In all countries of Western Europe (MET-zone) Quaoar is opposition Miheaven and that could be the sign of creating a new status. Even Quaoar seems to fit in the Xmas picture: a new world is born. The chart is a perfect chart for a Xmas-night. But...

There is always a 'but' and that is the fact that there is an explosive Mars exactly opposition Uranus, later that night and that both are on the angles of Xmas charts in the Middle-East and in Turkey where the unexpected arrests of sons of ministers was followed by firing police chiefs, prohibiting journalist to enter police stations and the resign of one of the ministers. This Mars-Uranus hits my Uranus today and my Mars is quatronovile Uranus, so I intend to let my husband drive the car and count to ten all day long. I am paying a visit to my mother, whose Mars receives an inconjunct from transit Uranus and we go by car.

There are more persons with this challenging aspect during Xmas. I think of those with a natal or progressed Sun, Moon, Mars, Uranus, Sun/Moon midpoint, Ascendant or Midheaven in the 9th degree (8-9) of the capital signs Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn. That includes, for example, those born on December 29. If you were born on or around July 1, October 2 or March 29: keep counting your blessings! Have a lot of chocolate if you have a placement in those degrees, keep cool and stay cautious. The opposition is exact between 20 and 21 hours GMT in 8d37 Libra (Mars) and Aries (Uranus). For most of the Europeans, that will be AFTER dinner. Not too much pepper, please! Avoid the risk of technical problems with machines, motors, cars or electricity and you will look back at a busy but pleasant Xmas. Take care if Mars or Uranus is prominent in your chart, especially if there are at least 2 more warnings in the chart. But why hurry, get angry and be irritated with Christmas, uh:?
Remember: it very much depends on your character, situation and conditions how a transit will manifest. You don't HAVE to be ruled by a transit. You are in charge!

With transit of Venus, Jupiter or midpoint Venus/Jupiter, on the other hand, you have a better chance of having a lovely or great Xmas. Those born on July 8,9 or 10, the Pisces of March 7 and the Scorpio's of November 9 might meet a jolly good Santa this year. If you were born on or around October 17, your natal Sun is right in the middle of the transiting combination of the 'party': Venus/Jupiter. And those born on January 18, September 21 or May 19 may see there wish come true: a nice Xmans.

Only if you eat too much or too fat or if you spend more than you can afford, this Venus-Jupiter transit hurts (later), but meanwhile: enjoy! Have a pleasant final week of 2013!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS, JOYEUX NOEL, FELICES FIESTAS and FIJNE KERST!
