BIRTH CHART of RICHARD GEREThe man who kissed himself out of India...

Richard Gere is free to go to India and will not be arrested for kissing Shilpa Shetty (with passion!). Gere is often in India to support refugies from Tibet, a.o. I am afraid he has a time unknow chart:(

VENUS CONJUNCT NEPTUNE
He was born August 31, 1949 in Philadelphia with a very tight aspect that indicates love and romance: Venus conjunct Neptune. It is the aspect of the persuader, the artist and the womaniser. Yes he is:)

In his chart Pluto rises before the Sun. That means that he is orientated on/focussed on issues regarding money, sex, danger, influence, power or politics. The Moon in Sagittarius is related to the desire to travel abroad, so I guess he will be happy about this decission of the Indian authorities.

JUPITER INSTEAD OF SATURN NOW
Transits of Mars, Jupiter and Uranus are making hard aspects with his prominent progressed Pluto right now and transit Pluto is trine progressed Mars (for winning a battle). I hope he does not kiss Shilpa Shetty again:). But if he cannot resist her charms, it will be not as bad as before with Transit SATURN conjunct his progressed Pluto. In his birth chart the conjunction of Sun and Saturn points at the possibility of a highlighted error, some day, some place. And this was in India.

The almost fatale and extra ordinary kiss made me write about Richard and Shilpa before. This is what I wrote on my former blog (09/28/2007 02:17)
"Shilpa Shetty's almost missed her flight yesterday due to Richard Gere's kiss months ago! Read all about in the The Telegraph (Calcutta, India)

This delay shows in the positions of the planets today. Saturn (for delay) is involved (semi square Saturn, perfecting, and sesqui square Jupiter). And so is Uranus (for upheavel: square to her Sun and sesqui square to Venus). But with Jupiter trine Mars and semi square Uranus to assist her, she could fly anyway after all."

On the 26th April 2007 I wrote about her, too:
"In the article about people meeting you can read that sometimes lifes get related due to a progression. Here below you see the progressed positions of Richard Gere (inner circle) and Shilpa Shetty (outer circle). Notice that her progressed Venus is exactly conjunct his progressed Mars!And what happened: they kissed in public (it looked like an embrace dancing the tango, just too much). For some reason that caused a big scandall in India and even provoked death wishes. Transit Neptune is inconjunct Shilpa's progressed Saturn and Transit Saturn is conjunct Richards' progressed Pluto: should this mean she is sad that he is in danger now?

BIG BROTHER
Before Shilpa Shetty was in the Astromarkt news, too!
"Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty is in the British Big Brother house in between two fires. Two of the other inhabitants keep making racist remarks. She responds with emotion and that is to be expected with the Moon oriental (most possibly in Taurus). She was born 8 June 1975 in an area where Tulu is spoken, in India. She has Sun semi square Venus and Jupiter square Saturn as the most narrow aspects in her chart. That is indicative for estetic values and...for the disadvantages of advantages. For her succesful efforts we find Mars square Jupiter/Pluto (and Saturn/Pluto). Jupiter is sesquisquare Venus/Pluto and Nodes is sesqui square Mars/Jupiter. With Mars in an obsessive quindecile with Uranus impulsive and explosive situations are to be expected in her life"


Look: progressed Venus and progressed Mars come together...Passion! (for a brief moment...)

ASTROLOGY OF MEETING and GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER
About the starting point for relationships in the - progressed - chart
People meet or get to know each other at the moment that they share the same kind of situation or period in their life. Both partners are at the same time searching for hapiness or are sharing a good or bad moment and that 'connects' them. At least, you would think so when you see their progressed charts!

Sometimes they meet too soon. Sometimes that meeting is wrong for both of them....

BIRTH CHART SALLY KERN (NO HOB)

Jupiter in Scorpio can produce strong believers, and sometimes fanatics. Sally Kern has Jupiter in Scorpio prominent in her chart. Jupiter is rising before her Sun and sesqui square Aries Point. Jupiter is also strongly connected to Pluto (by square).

With Transit Saturn square her Sun Sally Kern, an Oklahoma state legislator, said that homosexuals were worse than terrorists. And now it seems that she is the mother of a homosexual son, Jesse, who is behaving badly. Her husband strongly denies this. He says homosexuals should not have sex. He is a baptist preacher.

The Moon in Capricorn in her chart and in certain conditions (like a community of narrow minded people) can manifest herself as a so called decent person, in order to be neat and acceptable in the community. So the revelations about her son Jesse won't be very welcome, I guess. Sally Kern is not ready for a 'coming out'. And now that Saturn highlights her mistakes and failures, she might soon wish that she never said what she said. Up to now she says she did not say anything that was not true...

EQUATORIAL GUINEA, THATCHER AND MANN

Re: a message in the Daily Mail....about the interview with Simon Mann.

THE SHOCK EFFECT OF A SON
The Uranus in the equal 5th and Placidus 4, ruler of the equal 4th house, of Margareth Thatcher (13th October 1925, at 9 a.m. in Grantham) is inconjunct the Sun of her son Mark (15th August 1953). And his Uranus is square her Sun, ruler of her 10th house. That might explain...

MARK THATCHER
In the message in the Daily Mail Mark Thatcher was named as being part of the plot that brought his friend Simon Mann in prison in Equatorial Guinea since February 1, 2008. It is a long story, but it is short in the language of astrology. Transit Neptune is opposition the Sun of Mark Thatcher today! The media (Neptune) against (opposition) Mark (Sun), his secrets (Neptune) highlighted (Sun) and gossip and betrayal (Neptune) coming into his life (opposition).

SIMON MANN
Simon Mann was born June 26, 1952. In his chart Jupiter is oriental (for the international). Saturn is square Uranus and square Sun. The combination of Sun, Saturn and Uranus highlights limitations of freedom. Given the prominence of Jupiter it is not strange that that is in Africa. And this year 2008 his progressed Sun is semi square Uranus. Also in progression Pluto is square the Northern Node. These are signs for a dramatic twist of faith.

MARGARETH THATCHER NOW
In the meantime, the fact that her son is again mentioned this way must have an effect on Margareth Thatcher. Uranus plays its part in the interaction between her and her son. And Uranus is again here today, inconjunct her Sun. Saturn conjunct her MC and semi square her Sun, Pluto semi square Ascendant...It does not 'sound' good and recently she had to go to hospital.

ELIOT SPITZERUranus square Sun for upheavel

Eliot Spitzer is governor of New York at the moment, still...He is a true moralist and now he admitted to wrongdoing after that he was linked to a prostitution ring by the New York Times. Those who read my blog and site more often, have seen examples of the way Uranus works before. And here is another one.

Spitzer was born 1st June 1959 in NY and that means that his Sun is in the 19th/20th degree of Gemini and Venus in the 4th of Leo and Neptune in the 5th of Scorpio. Right now the actual position of Uranus is the 19th degree of Pisces. So there is a square of Uranus with the Sun and a sesqui square of Uranus with Venus and Neptune. Sometimes astrology is so logical! We read:

upheavel (Uranus) about a love affair (Venus Neptune) that changes
the way he lives or is seen (Sun).

It is obvious that this transit would be important, as in his birth chart there is a hard aspect between Sun, Venus and Neptune! It is a pitty for his carreer. He has a calling Sun (for leadership) and a strong Saturn in Capricorn oriental (for being ambitious, a manager). WITH hour of birth we would understand more about his chart. But still, without it it is easy to observe that he would come in the news (Uranus) with a 'romance' (Venus and Neptune). Venus is inconjunct Saturn and square Neptune in his birth chart. It might be that the Moon is also square Neptune. Here you have 3 indications for conflicts in relationships and 3 is a crowd!:)

This affair reminded of the predictions of 2008 for Gemini, that you can find here.... I advised those born under Gemini to be discrete, sincere and thrutful, especially in 2008! And see what happens if one does not (LOL!:)

Here is the text for 2008 for Gemini:


GEMINI: truth wins...
2008 will not be the easiest year for Gemini’s. There might be disappointments during travels or moves. One advice is to stay truthful and sincere always, whatever happens. And to be discrete. If not, it might cost you a lot, especially if you were born between the 5th and 13 of June.

Mercury is your planet, Gemini. In May, June and the first week of July Mercury will be in your sign. Are you born between 2 and 12 June? Then Mercury will visit you twice in a year and stimulate relationships and contacts.

Your holiday can be celebrated best in May or June, February/March or September.

A special message for those born 9, 10 or 11 May and about 64 years old: October might be tense and/or exciting, a month full of adrenaline.

PS: he quit!

ADMIRAL FALLON QUITSaturn plays his part...

Admiral William J. Fallon quit the navy, after having critised the policy of president Bush. He was Commander of the U.S. Fleet Forces Command in the Middle East. In his birth chart there is an opposition between Sun and Saturn. That opposition was activated recently in progression. With Sun-Saturn in the chart it is to be expected that some time in life there will be a retreat or a step back. Another effect is that the poverty, relationship with parents, mistakes and failures of this person will one day be highlighted.

Saturn (the planet of farewell and goodbye) was semi square the Northern Node (symbol of groups and communities) today, but this step can also be seen in the light of his progressed Sun. As his hour of birth is unknown, we know little about specific timing in his chart. But we see the Progressed Sun at about the 13th degree of Pisces. A few years ago the Progressed Sun was square Uranus. Less than 18 months ago the progressed Sun was opposition progressed Saturn. The importance of that progressive aspect is indicated in the birth chart, where the Sun is also opposition Saturn! And there is right now or coming up within a year, the progressed Sun inconjunct Progressed Pluto.
These are heavy and difficult progressions, indicating conflicts with authorities (Pluto and Saturn) and rebellion (Uranus).

The birth chart of Fallon (30th December 1944, East Orange) shows a man who is a military man, a soldier, in the first place (Mars is rising just before the Sun). The Moon in Cancer (for patriatic feelings) is calling! The Moon does not make major aspects in sign. That shows the importance of caring, involvement and sentiments, but also the importance of the country he was born in. And the risk of being biased sometimes...
The Sun is afflicted by both Saturn and Neptune. Sun-Saturn aspects in leadership has a risk. The nativity might want to do things on his own (see the chart of Chávez). The Sun-Neptune square points at idealism. The disadvantages (Saturn) of idealism and ideology or belief (Neptune) is apparent (Sun) in his life. It might be that the relationship with the father was frustrated in his early years (but do we know?). We also notice the Sun inconjunct Pluto for the unbalance between him and authority or ...politics (Pluto) and for being fanatic or driven in his own disadvantage.

Mars is square Jupiter and sesqui square Pluto for a succesful and ambitious combination. It says that he has more energy than others have. Mars-Jupiter-Pluto is a good sign for a military man. If he uses violence (Mars-Pluto) it will be right or justified (Jupiter).

Mercury is conjunct Mars and square Jupiter and sesqui square Pluto. Here we see intelligence added and communication skills.

So what we see (without HOB) is the chart of an ambitious man who is an entrepeneur or soldier in the first place and who has been confronted with a mistake he made and took responsibility for that. Saturn at work...
