In Shri Lanka famous astrologer Chandrasiri Bandara has been arrested for predicting that the opposition will win the next elections (in September). Astrology is important in Shri Lanka and such a prediction may be of influence. Let's hope that mr. Bandara is safe...

Michael Jackson: "and that is it...".

After a cardiac arrest Michael Jackson was rushed to hospital but as it seems right now, he is either dead or in coma. When he announced his come back tour in July in London, he said 3 times 'and that is it...you know...that is it'. Perhaps this is it, right now. Today transit Mars was inconjunct his Saturn. The combination of Mars and Saturn is reflecting blocked energy. Also transit Pluto was inconjunct progressed Mars. This happens to be the same sort of combination as on the day of the announcement.

The Mark Sanford disappearances

Mark Sanford, governor of South Carolina, disappeared on June 18 2009, not answerring the phone and without telling his wife and family of his whereabouts. His mobile phone was turned off (and he couldn't be tracked that way). He also didn't tell the State Law Enforcement Division (for his security).

A governor is the highest authority in case of a state emergency and there should always be a way to contact him, wherever he goes. Now we know that he was in Argentina.
This was not the first time that he vanished. His wife was not concerned, she said. But Mr. Knotts, a longtime Sanford critic, is! That is because Governor Sanfort

'has frequently been eluding SLED agents and disappearing at odd times'.

Why do I tell you this on Astropost? It is because of the 3 indications for wanting to be free and alone and for having a party. In short:

1. Sun inconjunct Neptune for wanting to be alone (perhaps not appropiate now). It is the same aspect that Susan Boyle has. More about Sun inconjunct Neptune...on Astropost.blogspot.com

2. Saturn inconjunct Uranus for missing balance between duty and being free; with the transits of Venus and Mars there is a passion to break free right now.
More about Saturn-Uranus...

3. Venus inconjunct Jupiter for a whole lot of fun (and perhaps too much) and that is being activated lately by Venus inconjunct Jupiter in the progressed chart.
More examples of Venus and Jupiter related to a party...

That is three times an inconjunction. Inconjunctions mirror a disturbed balance, mental or fysical. And inconjunctions are there when something (or perhaps someone) is lost (like freedom, a certain lifestyle).

Now where is the governor in this picture? Perhaps Saturn in Capricorn is on a prominent spot in the natal chart. Or Pluto (for politics). Without time of birth this remains unknown. Mark Sanford was born May 28, 1960.

PS Neptune has an important role in the charts of those who are involved with missing people.

Saturn, Ceres and skinny :Courtney Love

Courtney Love is looking skinner than ever, see report with pictures on Daily Mail. This is rather strange, since she has transit Jupiter trine Ascendant. That is supposed to make you GAIN weight and that someone will be helping you (or give good advice). Perhaps she in the hands of a proper dietist right now? Let us hope that help really is on the way, because the pictures show that she needs to eat asap or that she suffers from a disease.

GETTING SKINNY
Getting skinny is a proces. It started, according to the Daily Mail, in 2006. Before she looked gorgious (' curvaceous', says the Daily Mail). What happened since then? She stopped using drugs and gained weight. In her chart there were 3 signs of changing times and Saturn (ruler of the bones) was square her Ascendant. Saturn's aspects tell us that there is a need to control, restrict and limit. But not to starve yourself (I hope).

Today transit Uranus is square the prominent Ceres (symbol of nutrition), activating the combination of Ceres and Uranus with Sun/Moon in her natal chart AND now inconjunct her Ascendant. This reflects the upheavel about her diet and appearance, perfectly!

CHANGES (3x)
The three signs of changing times were:
1. Her progressed Sun started to change sign from Leo to Virgo for another lifestyle.
2. Her Ascendant moved from Scorpio to Sagittarius, so that her appearance changed.
3. Progressed Midheaven conjunct Pluto (natal and progressive). Pluto reflects the come back and transformation.

When there are 3 or more indications in the same direction, there is almost a certainty that the issue that is being indicated will be very important. Here we see 'the rule of three' (three indications at the time). And all three say that there is a transformation taking place.

SATURN (3x)
Threee is a crowd, especially when it is Saturn. Saturn minimizes and 3x Saturn minimizes too much, as it seems.

1. The first aspect that the progressed Sun will make in the new sign is an opposition with progressed skinny Saturn, followed by an opposition with natal Saturn! The first aspect often reveals in what direction the change of time will be. She is getting (progressed Sun) skinny...and Saturn tells us that it is time to be in control.

2. Last April there was a progressive square between Ascendant and skinny Saturn. And finally transit Saturn is conjunct her progressed Midheaven right now. Perhaps now she realizes that she is too skinny after all.

3. Transit Saturn is also conjunct the Ascendant of the solar return of 2009, if she is celebrating her birthday in San Francisco.

Another indication: Ceres is on the solar return chart Ascendant, with Saturn!...

CERES 'CALLING'
Transit Uranus is inconjunct her Ascendant for disproportionate upheavel about her appearance. Courtney is fond of upheavel. She has Uranus semi square with Sun/Moon and 157.5 (sesquisquare and half semi square) ...Ceres, the symbol of nutrition. What a coincidence! You would almost start believing that astrology works;)

Ceres is not making aspects in sign or orb 5 degrees in the chart of Courtney Love. In other words, Ceres is 'calling'. That means that nutrition is out of control or that nutrition is important at any possible level.

As Uranus is reflecting the flashlight relationship, I am afraid that there will such a relationship whit food and diet. Transit Uranus is right now exactly square Courtney Love's natal Ceres, activating the combination in her natal chart. And that is another reason why her diet causes such upheavel.

ARTIST
Courtney Love's natal chart shows the astrological pattern of artistic talent. You can read about that on Art&Astrology.


PS
For more information about Ceres, see the post about the dwarf planet that is prominent in the charts of cooks, female icons (...) and whenever agriculture, seeds, roots, dynasties or genes and...nutrition are involved. Just click 'Ceres' on the label below this message.

Michael Schumacher, the Stig and Neptune

Top Gear revealed the identity of the Stig, a few days ago. It was Michael Schumacher, hiding behind the white suite and helmet. Neptune is the symbol of hiding away and the Ascendant is the symbol of (among other things) the name. With Neptune opposition Ascendant (and semi square Sun) being anonymous, incognito or dressed up as someone else is not surprising. With the Moon in Cancer and Venus square Neptune there is also artistic talent (for acting:). With all this and his racing talent, he was the perfect Stig!
