Jupiter and the Knox appeal

In the earlier post about the Knox appeal I said that I would be back on the subject. Amanda Knox is on her way back home now. She and Raffaele Sollecito have been found innocent. (Amanda was found guilty of slaunder, however.) This post is about the effect of (transit) Jupiter in her 12^th house. You see, she has a number of aspects of transit Jupiter now as you can see in the included chart. This transit of Jupiter was square natal Midheaven and sesquisquare progressed Sun/Moon, inconjunct progressed Descendant and inconjunct AC/MC and Jupiter is in the natal 12^th house. I, too, have a twelfth-house-Jupiter and when I had transit Jupiter conjunct Jupiter all that happened was that I was saved from things that could have been worse*), like Else Parker wrote in 1953. She said: "Jupiter’s transit through the 12th house contributes to to the idea that all dark and difficult things ‘ might have been worse".

Quote:

The chart above shows the transits and progressions with the natal chart of Amanda Knox. 

In a normal situation the number of transits of Mars and Jupiter in a tight aspect with her Ascendant, Midheaven and Uranus could indicate relief, at least and more positively: a success. Also, transit Jupiter on the midpoint Sun/Moon in the progressed chart is a positive indication. Jupiter is important in the chart of Amanda Knox (rising before the Sun and ruling the Moon in Sagittarius), so the transits of Jupiter are important as well. The 12th house position of natal and transit Jupiter sometimes has a strange effect, however. I also don't want to underestimate Saturn's transit sesquisquare the progressed Midheaven, even if that transit isn't exact any more, even though there is growing belief in the innocence of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito. There is also growing hope in the chart of Amanda Knox.

Aspects in Amanda Knox's chart, transits and progressions

Tomorrow an Italian judge will let us know what he/she thinks of the lack of substantial evidence in the appeal case in Perugia, where Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito (born March 26, 1984) hope to be found not guilty of the murder of Meredith Kercher. They are supposed to have assisted the convicted murderer Guede (December 26, 1986). Amanda Knox' chart with transits and progressions is here to show you how the correspondence with charts in just as confusing cases...For more info about the case, see the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/15036490

There are several posts about the case already (see the links), so I want to be as brief as possible about the similarity between aspects in the chart of Amanda Knox and in those of suspects in other cases. This chart's source is Astrodatabank and it is AA-rated.

I. SUN-SATURN
An important aspect is the inconjunction between Sun and Saturn in Amanda Knox's chart. It is a destructive aspect.  Raffaele Sollicito doesn't have it in his chart, but he had transit Saturnus inconjunct natal Sun in the days of the murder of Meredith Kercher. There are many examples on this blog (see label ' inconjunct Saturn') and I mention a few of them. The aspect is not about guilt or innocence. In all of those cases it is about being accused. 

• Right now there is hope about the transfer of two Norwegians convicted in Congo for the murder of their driver. One of them was born on   February 28,1981 with Sun inconjunct Saturnus. http://m.nrk.no/m/artikkel.jsp?art_id=17809066&a=1.7809066&f=/nyheter/norge/&h=www.nrk.no The judge who convicted them is in a prison now... 

• Recently I wrote about the West Memphis Three. One of the men involved has Sun inconjunct Saturn and Mercury conjunct Neptune. 

II. MERCURY-NEPTUNE
That brings me to Mercury-Neptune, the aspect of miscommunications. Amanda Knox shares a hard aspect between Mercury and Neptune with the Barefoot Bandit, the Friedmans, the West Memphis Three convict and a Belgian convict who was released after many years. He had confessed but didn't do it. Mercury with Neptune is confusing and sometimes suggestible. Amanda Knox has the opposition.


III. SUN-NEPTUNE
There is a Sun-Neptune issue in this case, too. 
a. The progressed chart of Amanda Knox had Sun inconjunct Neptune and that is the combination of the 'fallen angel' and bad press. (In the weeks before the murder Amanda Knox published on Facebook about a conviction for being too loud at home.) 
b. The Sun of Meredith Kercher was inconjunct Amanda's natal Neptune. c. Neptune of the day of birth of the controversial prosecutor Mignini*) - born April 13, 1950 in Perugia- is  square the natal Sun of Amanda Knox. Neptune is confusing and Sun-Neptune sheds a negative or misty light...
More about Sun-Neptune on Astromarkt...


MARS-SATURN-PLUTO
Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito both have a Mars-Saturn-Pluto combination in their charts, showing the issue of danger or problems involving death and unnatural death causes. Amanda Knox has hard aspects between Mars, Saturn and Pluto. Raffaele Sollecito has Saturn conjunct the midpoint Mars/Pluto. Meredith Kercher had a mix of Mars-Saturn-Pluto transits and progressions on the day of her death. The Pluto of her murderer, Rudy Hermann Guede (born December 26, 1986 in Abidjan) is conjunct Meredith Kercher's Mars. (Note: The Mars in the chart of Natalee Holloway is square the Pluto of Joran van der Sloot, who probably killed her just like Stephany Flores. This synastry is always strong and dangerous). Amanda Knox then had Progressed Mars trine Saturn and in aspect with Ascendant, MC and the midpoint AC/MC. Death had arrived at the center point of her chart and in her house...
(More about this challenging combination? See the label 'Mars Saturn Pluto').


The combination of miscommunications, wrong statements, the press and hard judgement by others in the circumstance of the murder in her house brought Amanda Knox in jail, but there is a lot of doubt about the proofs. 
I will be back on October 3...For more about the transits and progressions for that day, and for the links, continue...

Eris in the chart of a government

Wedding of Peleus by Bloemaert (Eris throws an apple)

Eris is the symbol of discord, disagreement and quarrels. Eris is never peaceful and nice. The story is that she threw a golden apple in a group of Goddesses, saying that it was a gift for the most beautiful woman. Then all women started fighting for the apple...*) This symbol of quarrels is in the 22nd degree of Aries right now. The progressed chart of Charlie Sheen had too many aspects with Eris and see what happened...Eris was prominent in the charts of Pearl Harbor and in that of Mohammed Atta (see the label Eris for these examples).

GOVERNMENT AND ERIS
Eris's other name is Discordia...In the chart of a government, the prominence of Eris doesn't help to maintain an orderly status quo, you'd guess. There is a good example: the government of the Netherlands. Just recently, the PM Mark Rutte and his political partner Geert Wilders shouted 'Take it easy, man!' at each other, in parliament. That is unusual behavior in Dutch politics...Both men have Moon in Aries and Eris is in Aries, too. But there is more Eris in the chart of the Dutch government.

The Dutch government was 'born' with Eris opposition Midheaven and Sun. This year the Prime Minister will have progressed Sun opposition natal Eris. In his natal chart the Sun is semi square Eris. Maybe that is too much Eris...Resonating progressions are louder and this one is about conflicts...Could that mean that the 5th government in a row will end untimely? Or could the 'calling' Venus in the birth chart of this government really help to 'take it easy'?

What does Eris do in that chart? Well, she caused a lot of fuss.. There was a lot of discord even before the new government of The Netherlands was 'born', on October 14, 2010. It took months to come to an agreement and even than members of one of the coalition partners threatened to step out. That would have been the end of the coalition.

CHART

Here is the chart of the moment of the photo of the new Dutch government and Queen, right after the establishment of the new team on October 14, 2010. The transits are the positions of the day of birth of the Prime Minister. Watch the position of Eris...

If you have a prominent Eris in your chart (angular, for example or in a very tight aspect with the Sun or Midheaven) you might see more conflicts and be in the middle of it than others do. Do you?

LINKS
It is hard for Dutch governments not to fall, because of the amount of parties and small majorities. All four governments lead by Balkenende fell before...But yes, Jan Peter Balkende has Saturn inconjunct Midheaven...

The symbol of discord also seems to have a fine way to expose vanity:)

Uranus in Aries and chart of Einstein

This is about Uranus in Aries, Einstein's Mercury-Saturn and particle accelerators like the one above, re: CERN's amazing test results. And about what if Uranus in Aries is conjunct your Mercury-Saturn...
In Astropost: Thinking about Mercury and Saturn the chart of Albert Einstein is one of the examples of scientists with a tight aspect between Mercury and Saturn. Einstein had Mercury conjunct Saturn in the natal chart. Transit Uranus is conjunct this conjunction now that there is news about particles breaking the speed of light. It has always been assumed that nothing could be faster than the speed of light. Albert Einstein had proven this. This is the chart of Albert Einstein (AA rated, source Astrodatabank) with transits and progressions for now.

Now that there are surprising results at CERN in Switzerland (test results question the validity of E=MC2: particles were nanoseconds faster than light, see BBC) transit Uranus in Aries is conjunct Einstein's Mercury-Saturn conjunction. If the results of CERN are true, one of the most important ideas are wrong. Yesterday (when the news was published) Mars was exactly trine Uranus. The combination of Mars and Uranus is the combination of the short fuse and accelerated speed. Uranus is the symbol of change, news, surprises and worlds turned upside down. Sometimes Uranus is also the symbol of a lot of fuss....

MERCURY-SATURN-URANUS
When your (professional or official) theories and ideas are at stake or cause a controversy you might also see Uranus in aspect with Mercury and Saturn. This transit could also give some new flashing insight that enables you to renew old concepts.

Another possible way to reflect a combination of Mercury,Saturn and Uranus is 'limited freedom of speech' (when your ideas are not being appreciated by the officials or are not 'political correct')... and your opposition against it. Whenever the official theory or idea (Mercury-Saturn) is being questioned or whenever there is rebellion, Uranus is there, too.

LINKS
In the post about Uranus in Aries I mentioned the correspondence between Uranus'move to Aries and particle accelerators. The first one was built in 1927/1928, when Uranus was moving to Aries...

Read it on:

http://astropost.blogspot.com/2010/06/uranus-in -aries-19271928-and-2010.html

Uranus in the fourth degree of Aries 'popped up' when predictions about the end of the world didn't come true and in the chart of the Japanese emperor during the tsunami. More Uranus in Aries:
http://astropost.blogspot.com/search/label/Uranus%20Aries

PS
Mercury-Uranus combinations mirror unusual ideas and unusual communications. In a community where astrology is being discussed and not taken seriously (most communities don't, except the astrologers' community:), talking about astrology causes controversy. Maybe that is why so many astrologers have a Mercury-Uranus combination in their chart. With Saturn, they might try not to mention that they study astrology at all.

The chart and transsexuality

‘ Becoming Chaz’ is a documentary about the transformation of Chassity Bono into Chaz. When I saw that, I was wondering if the charts of transsexuals show sexual transformation. I started looking for example charts and studied in particular the most individual midpoint: Ascendant/Midheaven. There is no more individual spot in the chart than this. The midpoint of Ascendant and Midheaven is the midpoint of (exact) time and place of birth. Astrodatabank has a collection of charts of transsexuals. This post is about 5 of them, including the chart of Chaz Bono. Two are transgender M-F and 3 F-M. 

In astrology transformation is symbolized by Pluto, change by Uranus, turning points by Pholus and creating new realities is being mirrored by Quaoar. Sexuality in astrology is basically mirrored by Venus and Mars. Sedna is a female symbol.

Those are the symbols that I was looking for to see if the charts had similar aspects or placements, related to the individual points in the chart.

The five charts of this post all have:

A.    Sun strongly related to Venus and Mars

B.    Midheaven or AC/MC in strong aspect with Sedna

C.   Pholus inconjunct, conjunct or semi sextile Midheaven or AC/MC

Three out of 4 have:

D.   Venus is either in aspect with Pluto or in Scorpio

The fifth has an exact trine between Venus and Pholus.

  

1 Here is first the chart of a transgender man to woman, provided by Astrodatabank.

- Sun conjunct Venus/Mars (Chaz has the inconjunction) (A)

- Asc/MC conjunct Sedna (Chaz has the opposition) (B)

- J ust like Chaz’chart this one has Pholus inconjunct Midheaven (C) .

- Venus sextile Pluto (Chaz has the inconjunction) (D).

There is more: Sedna sesquisquare Ascendant AND Moon rising before the Sun (Chaz has Mars there).

 2. Here is the second chart, with:

- Venus is square Pluto (Chaz has Venus inconjunct Pluto) (D).

- Pholus conjunct Midheaven (C)

- Sedna is sesquisquare Midheaven (B).

- Venus quintile Mars (Mars square Sun) (A)

Also: Quaoar in aspect with Venus (semi square) and Mars (trine (E) and notice the position of Uranus and Pluto on either side of the IC. Midheaven is conjunct the midpoint Mars/Pholus.

3. Just like Chaz Bono this transgender was born a woman and changed into a man:

The same sort of combinations can be found in this chart.

1.Sun/Pholus square Midheaven (Pholus semi sextile Midheaven) (C)

2.Venus square Mars (Venus is in Scorpio) (D)

3.Ascendant/Midheaven opposition Sedna (B)

Also:

4.Midpoint Uranus/Pluto inconjunct Midheaven

5.Uranus/Pluto opposition Pholus 

4. A sad example (transsexual female to male and suicide) is this chart (2543 in Astrodatabank), with:

- Venus trine Mars, Sun square Mars  (A)

- Sedna sesquisquare Midheaven (B)

- Pholus semisquare Midheaven and semi sextile Ascendant (C )

The midpoint Venus/Mars is square Sedna.

Change is indicated by Uranus and Pluto in tight aspect with Midheaven. Also, A/M is semi square the elevated Moon and 105 Quaoar (Moon is sextile Quaoar).

5. CHART OF CHAZ BONO

Chaz Bono is still in the process of transgender that started in 2008. In May 2010 he officially became male. This is the chart of that moment, with transit Saturn on Midheaven (the symbol of ending a certain period or status). That was also with transit Pholus on the Sun/Moon midpoint. 

Today, transit Pholus is back again on that Sun/Moon midpoint. Right now he is planning the final turning point: to add the genitals of a man. 

I have written about the earlier period before here (link) but I didn't mention the natal chart then. The day that Chaz Bono was born, was the day that Pierluigi Casiraghi was born, too. He is an Italian football manager and in the year 1998 (when Chasity had her coming out) he had a cruciate ligament injury and never came back as an international. Lacy Rose (actress in pornography) had her last movie done in 1998. I don't know what happened to the comedian Frank Nicotero, the singer Stina Nordenstam, actor Patrick Roach or to Matt Tiliey (an Australian radio personality). They were also born on the same day as Chaz Bono. But they can't have the same combinations with Ascendant, MC and AC/MC midpoint!

ASCENDANT/MIDHEAVEN

A chart must be seen in the light of genes (!), gender (!) and circumstances or situations, always. And maybe the midpoint structure with Ascendant and MC says moreI had a look and found this: the conjunction of Quaoar  (Indian god of creations) with the midpoint AC/MC opposition Sedna.This is telling us about the vital importance of creating new realities and new worlds, opposition the female symbol of Sedna. Only those born on a specific time and place on earth with this cross point of Ascendant and Midheaven will have the Quaoar-Sedna opposition related to Ascendant-MC.

MIDHEAVEN

On the day of birth the midpoint Uranus/Pluto was inconjunct Pholus. See the picture: Uranus and Pluto are on either side of the MC. This position announces dramatic and radical changes in status and position in the world. The inconjunction with Pholus means a turning point in status including a loss (and is related to dramatic change). Venus/Mars inconjunct Sun shows a life (or body) out of balance related to passion and sexuality. It depends on the accent on sexuality or passions in general, in what way this will show up in the charts of those who were born on the same day as Chaz Bono. The fact that the midpoint Venus/Mars is semi square his Midheaven (conjunct Uranus/Pluto!) says a lot about radical transformation related to sex life.

PAIN AND DESIRE (VENUS and PLUTO)

 The chart is clear about what it takes to get the desired look. Just like the beauties in this post, Chaz has a Venus-Saturn-Pluto combinatioin with Venus-Uranus:

Venus conjunct Saturnus and inconjunct Pluto, with Venus quatronovile Uranus and Uranus quintile Ascendant. The last aspect relates the combination to personal circumstances. Uranus quintile Ascendant says that creative change in presentation will or can be achieved and/or that the situation (Ascendant) will change (Uranus) in a creative way.

!PS

This is of course not a scientific study (5 charts only...). Please remember: we are individuals and charts are to be seen in the light of genes, gender, social/cultural circumstances and situations, always. If you have the same range of combinations in your chart, that doesn't mean that you should be transgender. If you are a transsexual, you might not have the same patterns. The study continues later...

- Astromarkt about Venus in aspect with Pluto

- We know that Chaz has artistic talents. There are 5 quintiles/biquintiles.  Venus is biquintile Moon and biquintile Neptune. Neptune is sextile Midheaven. That completes the pattern of artistic talents.
