MPs and a peer, Jupiter and Uranus

Uranus'transits often come with a shock and turn your world upside down. For public persons it is often a moment of being in the news by 'surprise'. We can see the effect of the transit of Uranus in the charts of the MP's and the peer who have to face the judge charged for false accounting and theft.

Natal combinations of the Sun with Jupiter and Uranus often reflect being inventive.
We can see this combination in the charts of the 3 MP's who have to face the judge charged for false accounting and theft.
For the charts of their days of birth, scroll down...

MORLEY (July 6, 1952, London)
Elliot Morley has Sun conjunct Uranus in the natal chart. By transit Uranus is now quindecile (165 degrees) progressed Sun.
Transit Jupiter is about to oppose Progressed Sun and sometimes the opposition doesn't help and is just reflecting a 'positive' by the jury. There is no hour of birth.
The natal Sun is sextile Jupiter and conjunct Uranus, tightly, reflecting being inventive.

DEVINE (May 21, 9153 Blackburn)
His fellow MP John Devine has Sun conjunct Jupiter and both semi square Uranus, the same 'inventive' combination. He also has Venus trine Pluto for the swift way to make money. Transit Uranus is trine his progressed Sun with progressed Mars square Saturn at the same time (for blocked energy). Interesting how the trine changes his life and lifestyle easily this way...

CHAYTOR (August 3, 1949, Bury)
The inventive combination focusses on Jupiter, connected with the Sun by quindecile (165d) and with Uranus by half semi square (22.5 degrees). Transit Uranus is now quindecile his Sun and sesquisquare progressed Sun. Transit Neptune is also sesquisquare progressed Sun and quindecile natal Sun. Neptune's transits are confusing, misty and sometimes related to gossip. David Chaytor says there is just an accounting error.

LORD HANNINFIELD (September 16, 1940, West Hanningfield)
Lord Hanningfield claimed over 115.000 euro in 7 years for hotel bills while they are suspecting that he was at home. Paul Edward Winston White, Baron Hanningfield DL, has transit Uranus opposition natal Sun and 112.5 degrees (square + half semi square) progressed Sun for being in the news the hard way. Venus conjunct Pluto prompts the issue of money in his chart.
His natal Sun is trine Uranus. Could I name the 11,25 degree a semi half semisquare, and should 127.5 degrees be considered an aspect, than I could have added the third person with a Jupiter-Uranus-Sun connection:(. But that would be considered fraud among astrologers, wouldn't it? Well, maybe his Jupiter-Uranus is connected to Midheaven or the Ascendant.

CONCLUSION
All four of them have difficult transits of Uranus now that there is a public scandall and their fotographs are on the front page of the Times.
Three out of four definetely have a Sun-Jupiter-Uranus connection in their chart, which is reflecting being inventive or benefitting from a sudden windfall. It is also the combinaton of having a helicopter view. In fact it is the combiation that I found in the charts of almost everybody who is studying astrology. Maybe they should have done that instead or why not consult an astrologer? Anyway: maybe the Jupiter-uranus connecting makes them inventive enough to win the case. Without an hour of birth, it is just speculating...The MP's happen to be a member of Labour and perhaps that is also related to Jupiter-Uranus. Anybody reading this who studied the aspect combinations of Labour and Conservatives? I'd like to place a link here...

Radical Uranus Pluto

Mix Uranus and Pluto and what you get are the ingredients for radicalism, for extreme (Pluto) differences (Uranus) of lifestyle (Sun), habits (Moon), ideas (Mercury), sympathies and preferences (Venus), in competition, war or fights (Mars), goals and reputation (MC) or in the way that a person presents himself (Ascendant). Often Uranus-Pluto is reflecting dramatic changes in a person’s life, too.*)
Here are some examples.

EXAMPLES
A radical is a person who shows a strong political stand point, like Berlusconi. Berlusconi (see his chart… ) has Mercury inconjunct Uranus and quintile Pluto and he keeps saying the 'wrong' words; the kind of words that journalists all over the world are so fond of because they fill the newspapers. The combination of Mercury, Uranus and Pluto is reflecting radical ideas. Radical opinions were also expressed by Theo van Gogh and Pim Fortuyn. They had Mercury conjunct Uranus/Pluto (and both were murdered because of their opinions). Pluto sometimes means 'danger' and Mercury-Uranus is the combination for differences of opinion...

How about Cat Stevens? He changed his name into Yousouf Islam and has the Sun between Uranus and Pluto.
I am also thinking about the change in the life of Father Damian (whose chart you can see in the linked post here…. He had Sun square Pluto and sextile Uranus.

MORE RADICAL OR EXPLICIT THAN OTHERS
When there are fewer voters, of course the more radical minded persons become active politicians easier than other persons do. That is why you see a minister in the Dutch government with Sun semi square Uranus/Pluto (who is of course also rather controversial:). George W. Bush and Netanjahu have Sun in hard aspect with Uranus/Pluto. Osama Bin Laden's Aries Point is connected to Uranus/Pluto. Even John F. Kennedy had Uranus/Pluto square Sun!

ULTRA…
In times of conservatism, the Uranus-Pluto person might be ultra left. Today, when most of the western democracies seem to be operating on the originally left side of the political spectrum, the rebel (Uranus-Pluto) is often seen as ultra right. The controversial politician Geert Wilders lives in safe houses since the murder of Theo van Gogh. In his chart Uranus and Pluto rise before the Sun. Uranus and Pluto together often provoke the enemy and/or forces to or obliges a new life style. The Australian conservative Tony Abbott has a Scorpio Sun (the equavilent of a Sun-Pluto; Scorpio is ruled by Pluto) square Uranus. The progressed Sun of Abbott is now conjunct Pluto and square Saturn and those are difficult aspects for a politician.

One of the worlds' most controversial persons is Christopher Monckton. See the news about him on the Guardian. He is an ultra right conservative and known for his views on AIDS and climate change.
Quoting Wapedia:

After attending one of Monckton's talks, Ethan Baron of the Canadian newspaper The Province criticised Monckton's assertions as the product of a "whacked-out, far-right ideology, combined with an ego the size of the Antarctic ice sheet."

Wow! Neptune (the one that offers a negative view) was conjunct his natal Sun and Progressed Sun was opposition Neptune last year, when he was an anti-climate change activist (Mars is oriental for acting). It is no surprise to astrologers that his Sun is sesquisquare Uranus, the symbol of controversy, upheaval and being different than the rest of the group (in this case: aristocrats, peers). Mr. Monckton wants to change the world or reshape the world according to his dreams, in a rather radical way. This is being reflected by the combination of the aspects of the Sun:
- sesquisquare Uranus (change)
- trine Neptune (ideals)
- opposition Pluto (transformation)
- sesquisquare Quaoar(new worlds)
Again you see the combination of Uranus and Pluto.

REVOLUTION
One more example of the radical change that Uranus-Pluto might reflect:
In 1966 there was a conjunction of Uranus and Pluto. This revolutionary combination made a sqaure with Mao Zedong's progressed Sun. Did his life change? Maybe not much. But it changed China: the cultural revolution.
The Russian October Revolution was with Uranus sesquisquare Pluto!

YOUR URANUS/PLUTO
The midpoint Uranus/Pluto in a natal chart is the point where your own 'radicalism' is cantered. When the progressed Sun or Midheaven reaches that point, your lifestyle or goals might change in a revolutionary way, or you are being forced or urged to consider doing so. There is also an hughe chance of changes when Uranus and Pluto make (separate) aspects with planets or angles by transit. See the post about indications for changes.

MICHAEL JACKSON
Michael Jackson is another example of the influence of Uranus/Pluto. He was and is one of the most controversial artists in the worlds' history. In the natal chart Uranus and Pluto are on either side of Mercury and Venus. The four planets are rising before his Sun. Could we read this as a controversial (Uranus-Pluto) vocal talent (Venus+Mercury) focussed on a radical renewal of vocal entertainment?

I corrected the earlier guess chart of MJ to 23:50. You see, Michael Jackson's hair got on fire on June 27, 1999. In a 23:50 chart that is with progressed Ascendant sextile Mars and transit Uranus trine Ascendant (reflecting the perfect moment for an accident) and transit Neptune sextile Midheaven. Also progressed Mars is inconjunct Neptune, 75 degrees from the natal Moon and square natal Pluto (for getting hurt). It was shortly after progressed Sun trine Midheaven.
Here is the chart with transits and progressions of the day of death. When he died transit Saturn was square natal Ascendant, at the lowest part of the chart, a rather important spot in the circle. Also Saturn is ruling the eight house (see the chart below). The Moon in Pisces remains on top.!His true hour of birth is still not known!.

Terrorism is one of the most extreme ways to express Mars combination with Uranus and Pluto, mixing aggression with violence and explosives. See Astromarkt for more about Mars-Uranus and Mars-Pluto combinations.

Chart of d.o.b. of Dorice Donegan Moore

Dorice Donegan Moore was born July 25, 1972., says Websleuths. She is the Florida woman arrested for the murder of Abraham Shakespeare, the lottery winner with bad luck…This is not a ‘who-dun-it’. I like to find an explanation for the reason why she was Shakespeare’s friend and to see if the suspicion matches with the possible profile as seen in her chart (and that is mostly also the way people see you). Here you see the positions on their days of birth.

Dorice Donegan Moore has Venus and Saturn rising before the Sun. The Venus-Saturn combination refers to business related to love and relationships (a business woman or a woman in business). Her natal Sun is in aspect with Saturn (semi square) and Uranus (quintile) reflecting a period of limited freedom. The amount of sextiles in her chart might reflect the quest for the easy way out (or in): I mean, to achieve something without much effort. The Capricorn Moon with the Leo Sun is an ambitious combination, however. A relationship with a not very intelligent millionaire is a great way to get rich without having a 9 to 5 job. (Of course, the chart of a day of birth just shows a potential or profile and the Ascendant, MC, positions in the chart, genes, gender, social and economical conditions and more, all have a great influence in the way that the blueprint turns into the eventual individual. So don't worry if you were born on her day, too).

MATCH
A very good reason for becoming friends is the possible trine between their Moons. Moons in the same sign or in a corresponding sign are moons that feel at home together. Friends often share moonsigns.

That is a match, but they didn’t match much. His Sun is square hers (who was the boss?). Her Venus is square his (different taste). Her Mars is square his (hot hit at first, fighting later). Her Jupiter is opposition his (differences of conviction).
But more significant are the conflicting combinations of planets, like:

Her Mars and Saturn are in conflict with his Venus and Pluto.
His Saturn is in conflict with her midpoint Venus/Pluto.

Venus/Pluto is the combination of money issues.
Mars-Saturn is related to death.

But there is more: her Neptune is inconjunct his Sun!

SUN-NEPTUNE
The Sun is trine Neptune in her chart: she might be a great actress... Perhaps she even loves dogs and she has a vivid imagionation. Coincidence or not: her Neptune in the 3rd of Sagittarius is inconjunct his Sun in the 3rd of Taurus. Her ability (trine) to realize her dreams (Sun-Neptune) cost him (inconjunct) his life (Sun). Sun inconjunct Neptune is reflecting the 'fallen angle'. It is obvious that such a combination in synastry is very disappointing at least.

All in all, she is a serious person trying to find an easy way to live up to her standards and she met a millionaire who was not able to control his millions and who found a place to stay in her house. But why kill him? Marrying him would have been easier to do. Unfortunately, they didn’t match THAT much. That might explain what followed.

Astropost: Philips and Fritzl: Mars-Pluto

Mackenzie Philips likes to reframe the word ' consensual' (about her sexual relationship with her father) and she explains here and tonight on tele (see link).

There are two post about the relationship between the Papa and his daughter as reflected in their charts and the nature of Mars-Pluto, that you can see here:

The benefits of Jupiter: Don Gelmini

Jupiter is the Roman name for Zeus, who came to Leda in the form of a swan. This post is about the effect of having an important Jupiter when you are a priest in Italy, accused of paedophilia. Jupiter is the symbol of support and that shows in the case of Don Pierino Gelmini, in two different ways. He is being supported and he created a chain of communities as a filantropist.

Recently Pierino Gelmini celebrated his 85th birthday January 20 and that was news in Italy. He had gifts, two men jumped out of an airplane to surprise him and the Provincial Counsel of Ragusa Giovanni Occhipinti gave him a plaque and multimedia. Don Gelmini is still very popular in spite of the accusations of paedophilia. He still has a lot of followers and supporters who believe in him. Among them: Silvio Berlusconi! Gelmini 'loves' Berlusconi, at least: that is what he said.

Why is he so popular? Of course, he is a filantropist! It might also be because he has Sun in hard aspect with Jupiter/Neptune, the combination of religion and the devoted audience or...fans and followers. Also, on his day of birth Jupiter was rising before the Sun and Jupiter made a lot of nice quintile aspects. Jupiter is the symbol of help, protection and successes. When a person has Venus conjunct Jupiter, he/she likes to have parties and is almost always popular. Gelmini has Venus conjunct Jupiter, rising before the Sun. He is first of all a social success! Venus is opposition Pluto (raising the question of problems with sympathies and love, preferences or money issues). The combination of Venus with Jupiter and Pluto is a combination that grants you great social success and/or lots of money (but he is a priest, so he gathered the money for his communities, I guess).

ACCUSATIONS
Pierino Gelmini founded the Incontro communities where drug addicts are being 'rehabilitated'. There are communities in Italy, Spain, Thailand, Canada, Bolivia, Costa Rica, the USA, Brazil and more. Jupiter is the symbol of the international. In 1963 he started to help children. Now two of them say that he abused them. In March 2008 the judge found their stories plausible. Since then nothing much changed; Gelmini is working on his defence.
(There have been problems with the law and accusations before. Gelmini was convicted in 1971 to 4 years in prison for fraud, but he never entered jail. In 1997 a mysterious group on the web launched a hoax about an arrest for child pornography related to the business in Thailand. That was with transit Neptune on his Sun: being set in a negative light.)
Here is the chart of the day of birth of Don Gelmini.

JUPITER
Jupiter is very important in his chart. The optimistic Jupiter in Capricorn rises before his natal Sun. Jupiter in Capricorn is a good placement for a public person.
Jupiter is conjunct Mercury and Venus. This trio (Mercury, Venus and Jupiter) is quintile Uranus (for being inventive in a creative way), sesquisquare Neptune (for creative talent) and opposition Pluto (for his successes). Venus, Jupiter and Uranus are all 3 biquintile the Node: being creative and inventive in a community or group.
Quintiles and biquintiles allow us to be creative in finding solutions.

QUAOAR
Maybe it is significant that this important Jupiter is exactly trine Quaoar*), too? Could we read this combination of Jupiter trine Quaoar, quintile Uranus and biquintile Node as the possibility of creating new international communities (worlds)? The fact that Neptune and Pluto are making hard aspects with Jupiter could be seen as the spiritual world (or discretion or drugs problems) related to it.

SATURN IN SCORPIO SQUARE NODE
Of course there is a Saturn, too, to show us where the hard sides are. Saturn is in Scorpio, the sign of the challenges, strategy, power, influence and sex.
On Astromarkt I wrote about Saturn in Scorpio:

Making a problem of your career and status, so that limitations are your challenge (...).

Priests are supposed to live with sexual limitations. As his Saturn is square the Node, the combination of the communities that he founded and his limitations as a priest has been challenging enough...

BTW Gelmini was born in Pozzuolo Martesana. As this place couldn't be used in the Astro.com computer, I used the neighbour town of Gorgonzola. There is no known hour of birth.

See the labels for more examples of quintiles, Quaoar, Jupiter Neptune and Venus Pluto.

*) Off topic: Should it be just coincidence that Quaoar is a 'rising star' and that there is the movie Avatar (also about creating new dimensions)?
