Supportive father of Joran van der Sloot died

Joran van der Sloot, the suspect in the case of the disappearance of Nathalee Holloway, was allowed to attend to his father's funeral, even though he is ' persona non grata' on the Antillian island where he used to live. Paul van der Sloot died last Wednesday. It is easy to see the reflection of the support, help and protection that he gave his sun. His Jupiter is trine the natal Sun of Joran van der Sloot. Here you see the chart of the day of birth of the father and on the outside are the transits on the day that Joran van der Sloot was born.

Joran van der Sloot is probably the last person who saw Nathalee Holloway alive. She is still missing. For more about the Holloway case on this blog, see this link...

Winter Games: Gold for Sven Kramer

Speed skater Sven Kramer won the Gold Medal yesterday (Winter Games, 5000 meter in 6.14,60). It was the only medal missing in his cupboard:)
Sven Kramer is a real champion, the son of skating talents, well trained and skilled. And he also had perfect transits reflecting 'winning' yesterday. It was a day for success and it was a prosperous moment for winning. That and the fact that Sven Kramer is one of the world's greatest speed skaters already, helped him to reach the number one position. The transits were:

a. Transit Sun of February 13 semi square his natal Jupiter/Pluto (midpoint of success) and
b. Transit Jupiter was exactly trine natal Pluto (helping him to win or – if you wish – reflecting the happy winner).*)
And of course the second one is the most important transit.

BORN SKATER
He was born April 23, 1986 in Heerenveen, sun of a skating talent (Yep Kramer, born November 15, 1957). He and his father share:
- An important Jupiter (for travelling, the international and for positivism and confidence leading to success). Sven has Jupiter rising before the Sun; father Yep has a 'calling' Jupiter (without major aspects within 5 degrees).
- Sun in minor and major aspect with Pluto and Saturn (a combination that is useful in the charts of individual sportsmen who have to be concentrated). Sven has Sun opposition Pluto and biquintile Saturn; Yep has Sun half semi square Saturn and binovile Pluto). For more examples of Saturn and Pluto's effect in sport, see this link...Together, father and son share their success and a ‘die hard’ constitution (ignoring pain, consistency when it becomes difficult). Here is the chart of his day of birth at noon (no hob available) with transits and progressions.

Posts for Valentine Day

This is the photo of a romantic man style 1920, Rudolfo Valentino. Isn't he sweet?Rudolfo Valentino was a famous lover in the movies. He married twice. The first time the partner was a lesbian. The second time he was arrested. He remarried while there was not yet an official divorce. Venus in the 'double sign' Gemini doesn't make any aspects. That is reflecting love and women at any kind of level,more than once and even double...
We prefer other kinds of guys today, like:Matt Damon, the cool decent guy or other examples of modern Valentines (the James Bonds or Brad Pitt)...But even if they don't line up in front of your door, you can have a romantic Valentine. Take a look at the sky above, very romantic! The picture in red is of the Butterfly Nebula, pictured by Nasa. Or just use your computer and read the romantic posts of Astropost . You might also go to Art&Astrology, Astrology-love-romance.blogspot.com... If you do, don't forget to scroll down to see the contents of Art&Astrology.

Happy Valentine to you!

Remembering the release of Nelson Mandela

Astrodatabank says that there is no hour of birth, because nobody noticed and it was not considered important in those days, when Nelson Mandela was born. Every hour of birth is speculation and is being contradicted by outher sources of information. So let's not have a specific look at the Ascendant, MC, houses or degree of the Moon. Let's have a look at the main information (the Astro ID):

- Pluto rising before the Sun
A strategist in the first place, a politician. Pluto is close to Venus and Jupiter and that combination is a sort of a statement for being loved by the millions.
The combination of an important Sun and Pluto refers to political leadership (coaching others).
- Uranus opposition Quaoar and sesquisquare Mars
Provoking the creation of a new reality by action (a freedom fighter)...

There is more about Mandela on this blog, including more chart readings. See those posts here...

*)More specifics:
The Sun without major aspects within 5 degrees...That is for someone who draws attention, a leader. Unless he is born with a trine with the Moon, like when he is born after 14.00 hours, the Sun is 'calling' in Nelson Mandela's natal chart.

Chart Bill Clinton (heart operation)

Bill Clinton underwent a sudden heart operation yesterday, after complaining of pain. Here is his natal chart with progressions and transits. Transit Neptune (ruling the 6th house of illnesses and ailments) is opposition natal Sun right now. Sometimes the effect of Neptune opposition Sun is 'being seen in a negative light'. Sometimes the aspect is reflecting a health issue. That is because the Sun is they symbol of honour and of vitality. Also transit Chiron is now opposition natal Sun, mirroring 'healing'. Transit Saturn is in the 4th degree of Libra, close to the Ascendant and semi square progressed Mars. That is a statement for blocked (Saturn) energy (Mars). There were 3 indications at the time and when that is the case, sometihing of importance follows, often. There is another important transit coming up for Bill Blinton...

Use this link to see all posts with the name or the chart of Bill Clinton.

If Bill Clinton's Ascendant and Midheaven are in the 6th degree of cardinal signs, like in this chart of Astrodatabank, transit Saturn and transit Pluto will be afflicting his Ascendant, his Midheaven and the crucial midpoint AC/MC this year. It has been most fortunate that today transit Jupiter is inconjunct Ascendant and Midheaven and quindecile AC/MC. Jupiter is the symbol of doctors and of what cures you. Later this year transit Jupiter will have moved on in Pisces, but the hard guys (Saturn and Pluto will still be in hard aspect with the Ascendant. That might force Bill Clinton to take care and perhaps this pain and operation should be seen as a warning not to force himself and to consider his age and health.
