SOLSTICE!
Today, at 18h36 (according to my ephemeris) or at 18h35 Greenwich Time (according to my computerprogram) the Sun is exactly at 0 degrees Capricorn, on the midwinter turning point!
JACQUES BREL
The French speaking part of Belgium elected Jacques Brel, the 'chansonnier' who was born april 8th 1929 in Ixelles and died in 1978, as their Greatest Belgian. The populairity of his music, even about 30 years after his death, revives from time to time and stays alive in the meantime. In his chart Uranus (ruler of the ascendant) trines the MC. In the Solar return Uranus is on the descendant. And now Transit Uranus squares the MC. While Jupiter trines the sunruler Mars.

JULIO IGLESIAS
The popular Spanish singer Julio Iglesias (born 23 rd of september 1943 at 2 p.m.) lost his father (90 years old!) who left behind a pregnant 41-year old wife. This happens when Transit Saturn is on the progressed descendant of Julio and T Uranus is square Uranus. Look at his progressed chart with transit around it here below.
Like other 'beautiful men' Julio has a rather 'cool' loveplanet. Venus is in Virgo. For more about beautiful men (like Brad Pitt) read THIS article.

ARIEL SHARON
On the 18th december 2005 Ariel Sharon (27th february 1928) was taken to hospital with heartproblems. Uranus was in the same degree as his natal Sun (8th of Pisces)...
SATURN, BONO and BILL GATES
According to the American magazine Time Bono (U2, 10th of may 1962 Dublin 2h a.m.) and Bill Gates (october 28 1955, 21h05 Seattle) are 'Persons of the Year'. They are on the cover of the magazine next to Bill Gates wife. When a similar thing happened to Father Damian (Belgians historic person no. 1 IN 2005) Saturn was there. And now it is the same thing with Bono (Transit Saturn inconjunct Progressed MC) and Bill Gates (Transit Saturn sesquiquadrate progressed Sun) BTW there is another Jupiter/ Pluto event coming up this year for Bill Gates (Pluto is about to conjunct Sun and Jupiter is about to oppose to the MC). I consider it a sign of modesty, but maybe it is also to be considered a sign for getting respect. If you want to know more about the chart of Bill Gates, click HERE.

WHITNEY HOUSTON
Whitney Houston (born in Newark, 9th of august 1963 at 20h55m) and her Bobby Brown have won a contest: the most disgusting couple of the year. This happens at the moment that Transit Uranus is exactly on her ascendant. Uranus is the newsplanet, when you come on this page of Astromarkt often you see it happen all the time!
December 16th 2005
BRITNEY SPEARS
What do 'they all' search for on the Internet? Britney Spears! She is born with Sun in Sagittarius, Moon in Aquarius and Libra ascendant on 2nd of december 1981 in Mahon. As they announce that she is- for the 3rd time in 4 years- the most populair person on the web her progressed Moon is opposed natal MC. But there is a square with Pluto coming up and in the solar return chart Saturn and Neptune are on the horizon. That might refer to the problems she is having with her friend.
December 15th 2005
LANCE ARMSTRONG
Lance Armstrong (born septebmer 18 1971) faces a trial for obloquy in Italy during a transit of both Jupiter and Saturn square his Natal Sun.
December 13th 2005
SCHWARZENEGGER/TOOKIE
How about Schwarzenegger in this case? Pluto in Tookies' chart squares the MC of Arnold. At this very moment Transit Pluto is squaring natal AND progressed MC of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Coďncidence? Pluto is the planet of life and death and the planet of power. You can have a view of Schwarzeneggers' chart HERE. Saturn is about to make a return in the chart of Arnold who has Saturn conjunct Pluto near the Sun in his chart. A die hard. ..Maybe this event will prevent a next election?
STANLEY TOOKIE WILLIAMS
LATEST NEWS UPDATE 12 DECEMBER: SCHWARZENEGGER DID NOT GRANT THE REQUEST FOR CLEMENCY
The U.S. Supreme Court, on October 11, 2005, ruled against Tookie on his final appeal and set his execution date for December 13.
In his natal chart Vulcanus (see on the right) squares the midpoints Mars/Pluto and Saturn/Pluto. Mars is tight square Saturn in Scorpio (and Pluto rules Scorpio). The progressive chart:
Transit Pluto semisquares Mars/Saturn. Like with Ante Gotovina - see 9th december - you see the comeback of planetairy combinations. On the 13th december he might be executed. Then Mars opposes natal Saturnus and transit Sun semisquares Saturn. Uranus is semisquare progressed Nodes. Transit Neptune squares Vulcanus. Transit Sun on the 13th semisquares natal Mars and is inconjunct Uranus. These are no easy aspects, I wrote yesterday. Today he was executed..
December 12th 2005
ANGELINA JOLIE
Today in the news that Angelina Jolie (the supposed to be second wife of Brad Pitt) is still having an affair with topmodel Jenny Timizu (says Jenny). Angelina (born 4th of july 1975 9h09 a.m. LA) has Venus on her ascendant in her natal chart, square Uranus (and Uranus sesquiquadrate Sun). Today transit Venus is on her descendant, opposing Venus and squaring Uranus and sesquiquadrate Sun.Yes, indications for her lovelife in the news today.
10th december 2005
RICHARD PRYOR
Saturday 10th of december
Richard Pryor died. He suffered from Multiple Sclerosis, was addicted to cocaine and tried to commit suicide a few times in his life. You find the fact that he did not like his life in the amount of planets in earth as well as in water (a worrysome combination). And in the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn inconjunct the Sun and opposed to Venus and Mars.>br>
Richar Pryor died at the time that transit Neptune was conjunct progressed Sun and on the day that transit Mars was opposed to natal Mars. His birthdate is december 1, 1940.
JOHN McCAIN
Republican Senator John McCain, born 29th of august 1936 at 9 a.m. in Cocosolo, Panama, is a Vietnam veteran and former opponent of George W. Bush. The Senate defied the White House and voted overwhelmingly to impose new anti-torture restrictions on interrogating detainees in U.S. custody or control. The amendment was sponsored by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., with 46 Republicans joining 43 Democrats and one independent in support of the new prohibitions against the use of torture. This success for McCain is happening with transit Pluto over progressed Jupiter, right after Transit Uranus opposed the Sun and transit Neptune squared progressed Sun. 'JoTown' contributed to the discussion about McCain in Astrodatabank doing a splendid job to predict this success and explaining the group conflicts of the last few months.
9th december 2005
ANTE GOTOVINA
The Croat general accused of crimes against humanity, Ante Gotovina, born 12th october 1955, has been arrested 8th of december when Uranus was conjunct his natal Mercury, that is conjunct his Sun.
At the time of the events, 1995, his progressed Sun was square to Pluto. Now Sunarc Pluto is conjunct Sun. Sun and Pluto form a septile aspect in his natal chart. A circle of aspects and events.
JOHN LENNON/MARK DAVID CHAPMAN
As it is 25 years ago today that Mark David Cahpman shot John Lennon I looked at their charts and wondered...Chapman is always referred to as 'a mad fan'. And as it happens Venus in his Chart is exactly in the same position as Lennons' ascendant is. A sign of love and affection....Another interesting thing is that the solar return chart of Lennon (his birthday chart) in 1980 had Uranus right on the ascendant, an indication for surprise, accident and shock. Uranus rules equal solar return house 4, the end of life. And Chapman's progressed Mars (for agression) was right on the IC (end of life) of John Lennon. There is probably more. Study their charts: John Lennon was born 9th of october 1940 18h30 m Liverpool. Chapman was born 10th of may 1955 19h30 Forth Worth.

TONY BLAIR
The Euro-Americain East-West Institute made Tony Blair happy by calling him 'Stateman of the decade'.
The Board of Directors of the EastWest Institute proudly presents you with its Statesman of the Decade award in recognition of your values-based leadership in international affairs. It said.
Venus is the planet symbolising nice, sweet and funny things. Transit Sun trines his natal Venus today. Venus trines natal MC (imago, position). But also Jupiter is there. This planet trines progressed Mars. Tony Blair is born 6th of may 1953 at 6h10 a.m. in Edingburgh.
7th december 2005
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
The Republicans attacked Arnold Schwarzenegger after that he appointed a democratic member of the Kennedy-family (he married one!). There are two trends in his progressed chart. First: the progressed moon. Second: Transit Pluto.
At the moment the progressed Moon in his chart (dated 30th july 1947 4h10 Graz) is leaving the seventh house and makes a straight opposition to progressed Saturn. Moon-Saturn conflicts are always about the stickiing to the rules. Progressed Moon is also inconjunct natal Mercury, ruler 4th house of family. Moon-Mercury conflicts indicate difficulties between the common rules and interest. These aspects implicate less populairity (Moon!) for Arnold. (Even more now Venus is right opposed to natal Venus...)
The second trend is the movement of Pluto through his sixth house of duties and square his MC (the point of reputation and position). Pluto always is a challenge if you see this planet in a positive way. And Pluto afflicting the MC can be dangerous.
Conclusion: there are problems with the public (MOON) opinion (Mercury) and he might be publically blamed (Saturn) for an error mad. His position is in trouble.
6th december 2005
MARY J. BLIGH IN THE ROLE OF NINA SIMONE
Mary J. Bligh will play the role of Nina Simone in a film about the life of this lady of soul. It is rather surprising when you compare their charts. Nina has Moon in Carpicorn, Mary in Cancer (the opposite). Nina's Uranus squares the Sun of Mary. Mary's Neptune squares the Sun of Nina. Wonder if they would have liked each other very much. But...Jupiter of Nina is trining the Sun of Mary: and that is about the same combination I pointed at with 007 here below. I think Nina would support this choice!
5th december 2005
BRITNEY SPEARS
It seems Britney Spears threw her husband out after a visit of a friend of his smoking marihuana. Right after celebrating her birthday! Her solar return chart has Saturn on the ascendant. But now Venus is right on her IC (opposed to the MC). So maybe and hopefully it is peace and quit again. Britney Spears was born 2nd of december 1981 at 1h30 in Mahon.
4th december 2005
MARILYN MANSON
Yesterday Marilyn Manson (shockrocker, born 5th january 1969) married and there were some astrological indications:
- transit Saturnus conjunct Moon (formalising a habit),
- progressive Moon trine ascendant (easily allowing a woman into your world, emotions)
- sunarc Uranus (ruler 7th house of partnership and marriage) square Moon (change in the family)
- transit Pluto sextile progressed Sun (positive turn)
3rd december 2005
OO7
Sean Connery is fully supportive of James Bond 2006: Daniel Craig. On BBC he said it is a great choice! Interesting to see that Sean Connery's Jupiter is right conjunct the Sun of Daniel Craig. This indicates....: confidence and support! Sean Connery was born 25th august 1930 18h05 in Edinburgh. Daniel Craig was born 2nd of march 1968 in Chester.
BRAD PITT
Today it was in the news that Brad Pitt is to adopt the children of Angelina Jolie. Transit Mars and transit Jupiter (the procreation combination) square his progressed sun and Transit Saturn (indication for parenthood and responsibility) is trine his natal ascendant. You can see his chart HERE.
1st december 2005
DAVID DI TOMMASO
The promissing FC Utrecht footballplayer David di Tomasso, born 6th of october 1979 in France, has been remembered in a stadium full of mourning fans in Utrecht today. He died 29th of november in his sleep, age 26, married and father. Even without hour of birth at least 8 astrological indications are present on the day of his death, as is mostly so in case of such a tragedy.
- progressed Sun was semisquare progressed Saturn
- transit Pluto semisquare both (progr. sun and square progr. Saturn)
- transit Mars sesquiquadrate progressed Sun and also afflicting progr. Saturn)
- progressed Mars in the sign of Leo square progressed Uranus
- transit Uranus inconjunct Mars
- Mars opposed to the progressed Sun
30 november 2005
JULIA ROBERTS
Julia Roberts: best payed actrice in 2005! No wonder, no surprise if you know her chart. The second house of possessions is filled with Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. Venus, Jupiter and Pluto together form a succesindicator. Uranus and Pluto indicate a revolutionairy change in income. Also her sun is semisquare the midpoint Venus/Pluto and Venus is conjunct Pluto! So earning money will be very important to Julia.
29th november 2005
SEM SCHILT
Only now I come to know that the Netherlands have another world champion: Sem Schilt (kickboxer). He is born 27th of october 1973 in Rotterdam with a brave Sun and Moon in Scorpio and Sun square Jupiter and trine Saturn as most narrow aspects. This fits with the message of the 27th where I mention Capricorn and Scorpio, Saturn and Pluto as being part of the charts of topsportsmen and - women who have to concentrate and do it on their own. The championship was on the 19th november when Transit Jupiter was conjunct his Natal Sun. A perfect astrological message, saying:"I succeeded!".
You can visit his site HERE and if you want to visit a site about kickboxing: there is one coming up now: Ram Muay
PAUL MARTIN
The Canadian prime minister is called Paul Martin. He is born 28th of august 1938 in Winnipeg. Transit Saturn is now square his progressed Sun. The Canadian gouvernment has fallen.
28th november 2005
ROD STEWART FATHER AGAIN
Yesterdaymorning, november 27th, Rod Steward got another son. His chart is to be seen here below. Equal house system is used. And why?
Yesterday the proud happy father had transit Sun square Venus in the fifth house. Transit Venus was conjunct Sun and semisquare Venus, in the fifth. Transit Jupiter - for luck - was trine Saturn - for parenthood ('the happy father'). Progressed ascendant is right opposed to Uranus. Uranus is ruler of the fifth house in the equal housstystem. En the fifth house is the house of children.
27th november 2005
HANNIE SCHAFT
Today was the memory of Hannie Schaft, the redheaded girl that was shot april 16, 1945. She is a heroe of the resistance born september 16, 1920 with a brave Moon in Scorpio. Mars, the planet of war, squares both Uranus and Saturn and is inconjunct with Pluto. That is not a lucky combination for a warrior. Her Sun is on the midpoint Mars/Pluto, so is the Northern Node. Pluto trines the Northern Node. Everything points in the direction of resistance, dare and courage.
On the day she was executed Mars opposed to Saturn, Pluto made a semisquare to her sun and T Sun was conjunct Vulcanus (see right side of this page). In the last year of her life progressive Sun was sesquiquadrate Uranus.
Today, day of remembrance of her being burried again on the 27th of november 1945, Transit Pluto semisquares her natal Sun.
DUTCH AND AMERICAIN SPORT RESULTS
Suzanne Harmes (born 10th of january 1986 in Zoetermeer) and Yuri van Gelder (20th of april 1983 Waalwijk), resp. bronze (gymnastics) and gold (rings). Both will soon face Saturn, the man with the hammer. Suzanne will have T Saturn over the sun, after she had Venus over the sun today. She is very concentrated with her stellium in Capricorn and has strong muscles with Mars in Scorpio. You can see the combination Saturn/Pluto come back in Sun semisquare Saturn and quintile Pluto in her chart. These kind of success do not come easy...
Yuri van Gelder also has such a combination. Sun is aspecting the midpoint Saturn/Pluto and is opposed to both. In due time progressed retrograde Saturn will perfect the opposition. These days Yuri also has Transit Saturn square Mars (pain in the muscles?). Transit Nodes trine Jupiter shows at the same time the joy he shares with his family members (very supportive ones). November 30 T Sun opposed Venus: a garanty for a nice day.
Alicia Sacramone got gold for gymnastics. She is born december 3 1986 in Boston and has Mars in Scorpio like Suzanne has. Bot she also has Sun/Jupiter on Aries Point and now Transit Saturn and Transit Nodes compose a grand trine with her sun.
26th november 2005
DR. PHIL
Has he manipulated an interview with Deepak, one of the men that have been arrested in Curacao after the disappearance of an Americain tourist girl age 17? He seems to be deeply concerned with the case, anyway. Transit Pluto will soon hit his MC and transit Neptune is to conjunct progressed MC. I would say it is time to take care. His positiion might be in danger and his imago might be under pressure and getting negative under these transits. Also Saturn squares his Moon! That will possibly lower his populairity rate. More about dr. Phil is HERE. BTW, iinteresting to see that Jupiter is now conjunct progressed Saturn in the chart of Deepak (born october 6, 1983).
25th november 2005
NEIL DIAMOND AND HIS COMEBACK
CNN reports the comeback of Neil Diamond, time to take a look at the chart of this singer/composer born january 24 1941 at 23h04m in Brooklyn. In the natal chart Pluto is in the 10th house, a sign for a comeback. Below is the progressed chart combined with today's transits. You see that Transit Pluto now is square the MC and Transit Uranus squares the ascendant. The combination of both implies a drastical turn in the carreer.
23rd november 2005
RUBEN CANTU
If they had not executed him in 1993 him Ruben Cantu would have become 39 years of age next 5th of december. It is too late for him now, but he seems to have been innocent of killing, this 17 year old streetboy (not mums'dearest, but not a killer) that was arrested based on false testimonies. I do not have an hour of birth. But his chart shows Saturn in the middle of Uranus and Pluto, forming a midpointcomination. Mercury conjunct Neptune are opposed to Vulcanus (see right border), the mystery planet that I keep seeing in cases of murder and violent death. And you might say his death was violent. That combination is trined by Saturn. Both Mars and Nodes are involved with the Zero Aries Point (the point that indicates how the outer world knows you).
22nd november 2005
GARY GLITTER
He was born 8th of may 1944 in Banbury UK and arrested this week. Today it became known that he had sex with 2 teenagers. I don't know his hour of birth, but I know his solar return shart has the Sun square Neptune. And that is a sign of a negative (Neptune) development in life. His solar return chart is here below:
21st november 2005
On the 8th of december 2004 I wrote about Frans van Anraat, the Dutch businesman involved with delivering chemicals to Saddam Hussein (read about it at CNN.com):
18th december 2004
FRANS VAN ANRAAT
8 december 2004 Frans van Anraat has been arrested. Once he studied chemistry. Now he is a rich businessman and 'most wanted' in the USA. Because in 1984 he deliverd chemicals to Iraq. These chemicals were a component for a gass used against the Kurdisch people. Van Anraat escaped to Iraq fist but when the regime of Saddam Hussein fell he left for Holland. Now he is scared of being transported to the USA. BTW In 1984 it was not forbidden to sell chemicals to Iraq. He was born 9th of august 1942 (HOB unknown). Most exact aspect is Mars conjunct Node square Uranus, a combination for taking groupwise risks. He also has Sun conjunct Mercury and Moon in Cancer conjunct Jupiter. These are 3 indications for being subjective (and not willing to see the wrong sides of 'those belonging to your group of people').
Today it was published that he will be prosecuited in Holland. Transit Neptune is near the opposition with the Sun, an oppostion that is tight in the solar return chart of this year.
19th november 2005
ALBERT of MONACO
Today Albert (born 14th of march 1958 at10h47 a.m.) became officialy Prince of Monaco. A lot of aspects accompany this event. Transit Pluto is exactly square natal Sun and Saturn squares teh Vertex (of course his fathers' death is the reason for this coronation). Progressed Sun is square to Venus (symbolising the beauty of the event) and soon will be sesquiquadrate Satrun (for obligations and duties). Transit Mars is conjunct to progressed Sun and Progressed Venus is exactly semisquare progressed Sun. The Sun is on top in this chart and in Pisces and that seems very indicative for someone with a job that attracts attention of the media.
BEETHOVEN
Maybe they found his skull, maybe not, as CNN reports, but in any case Beethoven is in the news today. His progressive chart indicates transit Uranus on the progressed IC (the news) and transit Neptune opposed to the Sun (the media). Below you find the transits and progressions. Beethoven was born 16th of december 1770 in Bonn, Germany at 13h29 LMT
19th november 2005
ROBERT BLAKE ('Baretta')
The actor Robert Blake (used to play the role of 'Baretta', born as Michael James Vijencio Gubitosi in Nutley, New Jersey on 18th of september 1933) has to pay for the violent death of his wife. Her children will get 30 million dollars (if he had that amount of money). His wife was found shot in their carin may 2001. Wikipedia tells the full story.
Robert Blake now has progressed Sun square transit Uranus (for being in the news...) and Saturn opposed to Saturn. His progressed Venus is conjunct Pluto, telling us there is a lot of money involved.
Natal Sun is inconjunct Uranus and semisquaring Saturn, a combination indicating a negative turn in life.
18th november 2005
JOSEP SMITH
Joseph Smith (born 17th of march 1966 in Brooklyn) was a divorced automechanic on probation when he kidnapped an eleven year old (Carlie) and raped and killed her. She was born 16th of march 1992. Today Joseph Smith has been found guilty with Transit Saturn semisquaring his natal Sun in Pisces.
His chart shows Uranus conjunct Pluto in narrow aspect. His Sun is aspecting the midpoints Mars/Uranus and Mars/Pluto. His Moon is in Aquarius.
Her chart shows Uranus conjunct Neptune and Mars square Pluto in narrow aspect. Both Mars and Pluto are aspecting the midpoint Sun/Uranus, making a variation of the midpointcombination her murderer has. Her moon is in Leo, opposed to his. On the 6th of february 2004, when she was murdered, Transit Saturn semisquared both Mars and Pluto in her natal chart…
To the CNN report
Link to Biblenews reporting about strange figures in the facts
BTW: still missing on Curacao is the Americain girl born 21st of october 1986 Birmingham. She also had a tight square of Mars and Pluto.

NIXON PAPERS
Re:CNN.com that says that even after Richard Nixons' secret war was known he persisted in deception. All about his chart is to be found in THIS ASTROMARKT ARTICLE
16th of november 2005
LIBBY (case of leak of Plame's identity)
This is what I wrote 30th october 2005
LEWIS 'SCOOTER' LIBBY
Instead of Karl Rove they now arrested Lewis Libby (born 22th august 1950 at 3h57 a.m. New Haven). Libby has transit Saturn on his ascendant en yes, he is blamed, like Bush was with Saturn on the ascendant at the time of Katrina. But Jupiter is heading close to the IC and progressed Moon is about to make a sextiel with Jupiter. These indications seem to give good prospects for Libby .
Today Washington Post editor Woodward told Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, that an administration official talked to him about Plame in mid-June 2003....And it was not I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff. So Jupiter worked!
15th of november 2005
BRUCE WILLIS
Right before the time Bruce Willis (19 march 1955 18h32 Idar Oberstein) proclaims he is willing to spend a million dollar for information about terrorists like Osama Bin Laden the moviestar had Transit Jupiter conjunct his progressive ascendant, so I guess he is able to pay it!
14th of november 2005
ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
Enthousiastic fans separated Arnold Schwarzenegger (30 july 1947 Graz 4h10 am) from his wife and bodyguards on his trip to China with progressed MC opposed to progressed Jupiter. In equal house system Jupiter rules the 6th house of work and naturally the ninth house of travelling. Also Pisces is on cusp nine, classically ruled by Jupiter. This clearly indicates a businesstravel.
PUTIN
Putin is reorganising. He wants his possible successor to be on top when he stops being president in 2008. Putin (born 7 october 1952 9h30 St. Petersborough) will have the progressed MC conjunct progressed Neptune in 2008 - and that fits - , and progressed MC conjunct Mercury and sextile to Pluto (Mercury and Pluto form the narrowest aspect in his birth chart and Pluto - for power and change - is on the MC).
PRINS CHARLES BIRTHDAY
Today at 21:14 hour GMT British prince Charles will be 57 years old! British royalty seems to be leaking all the time. This time notes from Charles diary (!) have been published just before his birhtday. Charles was born with Neptune (and Venus) on the IC. Transit (actual) Neptune is inconjunct the progressed ascendant, Transit Mercury is on the progressed IC (so opposed to the MC) and T Northern Node is right on the MC and...opposed to Neptune. They indicate the bad press.
13th of november 2005
QUEEN ELISABETH
Today the Britisch queen Elisabeth has been called 'enemy of the Islam' by Al Quaida. Below is the progressed chart of the queen surrounded by the actual transits. And what you see is Vulcanus (see right panel for the ephemeris) standing right on her progressed ascendant. Vulcanus is a 'supposed to be' planet that appears everytime something violent is in the air (like in the case of Fortuyn and Van Gogh, see the chart pictures in the - dutch - article). I must add that in those cases Vulcanus was on the descendant (not the ascendant).
PS Her natal chart (21th of april 1926 1u40 London) has a tight conjunction of Sun and Vulcanus.
12th of november 2005
Re: BUSH
And there was the newsitem of today: 73% of the Canadians do not like him and 38% of them think he is more dangerous than Osama bin Laden!
DRIES VAN AGT
Former Dutch prime minister Dries van Agt (born in Geldrop 2nd of february 1931) used progressive Sun square Pluto in 1997 to abolish the leader of his party (CDA). Pluto is the planeet of power and influence. Now sunarc Mars squares Pluto. Transit Neptunus moved over his Sun and Transit Saturn is about to oppose to natal Sun. Transit Mars is opposed to Mercury. What happend is that he has been seen in the company of an antisemite seller of Himmle-books, Jöran Jemas alias Israël Shamri, who himself has been seen with the former leader of KKK. Before that he came in the news supporting Gretta Duisenberg in her struggle against Israel and pro Palestines. Jemas was born 11th of june 1947 in Novosibirsk. Van Agt says he does not know the man. But they have been connected by the news article in the Telegraaf and astrologically this connection shows like this:
They share Sun inconjunct Jupiter. Natal Sun of Van Agt is conjunct Progressed Sun of Jemas. So they share the transit of Saturn in Leo. (Jemas has Saturn opposed to Saturn as well). The (progressed) charts seem to have brought them in the news together.
GEORGE W. BUSH
CNN reports that George Bush 'takes on critics of war'. Right now Bush's progressed MC is conjunct progressed Uranus. He is a hot news item with this aspect. His position is in danger for over a period (see Transit Pluto on the IC). The combination of Uranus and Pluto is an indication for drastical change, for a revolution in life or in position. That might as well be in private (maybe the father is going to be ill) as in public. We will see...Below is his progressed chart with the transits of today. GW was born 6th of july 1946 at 7h26 am in New Haven Connecticut, according to the Astrodatabank.
11 november 2005
SÁRKÖZY
French minister Sarkozy (sun of an Hungarian immigrant) plans to send 120 riotters out of France and now there has been a complaint against him. He is born 28th of january 1955 in Paris with Mercury inconjunct Uranus as tightest aspect. That explains his special ideas and plans. He is an Aquarius and at the time, with the opposition of Saturn in Leo, he has a hard job to do. The opposition with his Sun will last until july 2006!.
10 november 2005
ARETHA FRANKLIN
Aretha Franklin (25 march 1942 Memphis Tenessee) received the Presidential Medal of Freedom- like Muhammad Ali- . It seems she bursted out in tears. Transit Uranus is now squaring her progressed Sun (maybe an overload of tension. And she has the emotional Moon in Cancer. The honour is shown is Transit Jupiter squaring natal Pluto. Natal Pluto is part of the midpointcombination with Jupiter/Nodes, indicating being rewarded by the community. This is a variation on the same Jupiter/Nodes combination Ali has at the time.
Aretha has not made an important album since 1985 when progressieve Pluto conjuncted natal Pluto. Soul was out. Whenever transit Uranus aspects natal or progressed Sun something out of the past might come back (a flasback:). You can also come in the news with such an aspect, but mostly in a negative way (a scandal f.ex.). This is an exception, or I missed something....:). I read about healthproblems in march of 2004 when she was hospitalized.
10th of november 2005
MUHAMMAD ALI
The 'greatest', born 17th of january 1942 18h35 Louisville Kentucky, received America's highest civil award out of presidents Bush'hands today: the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Recently Muhammad Ali has been operated on his back and he seemed not to be able to sit down for long. Transit Saturn squared his MC and Transit Mars was conjunct and both afflicted the Moon. That for the painfull part. Transit Venus semisquared the ascendant en Transit Nodes sextiled Jupiter at the time of the event. Muhammad Ali has a good aspect for a boxer: Mars squares Pluto in his natal chart and in addition the MC in aspect with Mars/Saturn, Saturn/Pluto and Pluto/Ascendant. The succes or growing position is seen in the grand trine Sun, Uranus and Neptune, also forming a midpointcombination refering to unconsciousness and sudden weakness (the Parkinson desease). The Moon trine Juipter, also a fortunate position. He is a realistic and hard person and you can see the many relationships with women on Venus on the descendant square Saturn.

ELVIS PRESLEY
Elvis Presley was born 8th of january 1935 in Tupelo at 4h35m CST. His face will appear on an American stamp. And this message is in the media with Mercury (the planet of communication) rigth on his progressed MC.

RIOTS FRANCE AND JACQUES CHIRAC
Is it coincidence? Now that there are riots all over France the chart of Jacques Chirac, president of the French republic, shows 'revolutionairy' aspects. Uranus is the planet of the revolution and change, of electricity, of excitement, the planet even of the French revolution and liberty, equality and brotherhood (discovery of Uranus was at that time). Transit Uranus is now square his natal Sun and opposed to natal Mars with a message from the stars: sudden events will happen, arrests, changes, impulsive action, overestimating your own force, accidents. Check it yourself. He is born 29th of november 1932.

JIMMY CARTER
CNN reports that former President Jimmy Carter said Friday 4th of november 2005 that there isn't "any doubt" the American people were misled about the war in Iraq and that President George Bush's policy on the war is a "radical departure from the policies of any president."
Transit Neptune was inconjunct his natal MC and Transit Venus was on the progressed Sun when Jimmy Carter said this. In his natal chart the Sun is semisquare both Venus and Neptune. The sun is semisquaring the midpoint Venus/Neptune and there is a midpointcombination of Venus with Sun/Neptune. Venus conjunct Neptune is an aspect for the romantic idealist and the repetative combination with the Sun says this is a major item in his life. Now that T Neptune is inconjunct the MC disappointment is felt and he wants to stand back (inconjunct!) from his former position as a president (MC). You may check these positions by drawing his chart for 1st of october 1924 7 a.m. EST in Plains (Georgia).

RITA VERDONK (18th of october 1955)
They have been shooting at the empty room of Dutch minister Rita Verdonk. Her progressed sun opposed to Vulcanus last year and exactly today Transit Mars (retrograde) was conjunct Vulcanus in the 17th degree of Taurus. Vulcanus is moving slowly so I think this supposed-to-be planet is prominent in her chart.
She was lucky (not present at the time) and that is astrologically pictured in Transit Jupiter square Uranus, exactly today! Ebertin said this was the 'thank God' aspect.
Just like Job Cohen (here below) her birthday is 18th of october, but she has Moon in Scorpio. Lots of prominent women have Moon in Scorpio. Yes, you need to be tough on the top. Moon in Scorpio gives a sometimes rude and defensive attitude. She is also idealistic or a believer in her cause (Sun conjunct Neptune and social (air-water). She misses a planet in earth, that makes her focus better. As a true politician she has a variation on the theme of Mercury/Saturn/Pluto: Mercury/Saturn=Saturn/Pluto.
JOB COHEN
The mayor of Amsterdam, Job Cohen, has recently been named a heroe and received a prize yesterday for being 'the best mayor in 25 years'. How do the stars help him to be so praised? He was born 18th of october of 1947 with Sun in Libra, Moon in Sagittarius and a missing element in his chart: no earth. Recently Jupiter transitted his Sun and on his birthday the Sun conjuncted Jupiter. Also the dangerous Pluto - he has been threatened lately as well - is on his progressed Sun. The comination of Jupiter and Pluto in a progressed chart signifies a period of great success.
Interesting in his natal chart: Sun trine Uranus (he is a democratic socialist). Moon in Sagittarius (a positive attitude) trine Mars and Pluto (the use of autority). And like the American presidents he has the Mercury/Saturn/Pluto combination of strategic thinking and speaking. Mercury squares both Saturn and Pluto and is exactly in the middle of these planets.

GRAHAM FREDERICK YOUNG
A Japanese 16 year old girl has tried to poison her mother as a tribute to the 'Teacuppoisoner' Graham Frederick Young (who started at the same age as she with poisoning his stephmother). Graham Frederick Young was born 7th of september 1947 with a Sun in Virgo and Moon in Gemini. A curious person and that was his motive: to watch the interesting proces of dying. His most narrow aspect is Sun semisextile Pluto. That aspect became a semisquare when he murdered his stephmother and was arrested. After years they released him (in 1971), thus offering the opportunity to poison two of his collegues. Several members of his family survived an attempt, even the murderer himself got ill as he forgot where he put the antimonium and digitalis in...
He got arrested again in 1971 (Transit Pluto semisquare Saturn - the disadvantages of an inquiry..) and at T Uranus square Mars. A pity I do not have his hour of birht. But his data correspond with a small study I did with a fellow-astrologer on the charts of serial killers. He has 50% of the planets in the movable signs and midpointcombinations like: Sun and Venus aspecting Mars/Pluto, Mars/Uranus, Saturn/Neptune and Pluto/Nodes. Mars is aspecting Venus/Saturn and Sun/Saturnus.
He died 1st of august 1990, officially on a heartattack, in prison when (a.o.) the progressive Sun trined Uranus (the planet that with harmonious aspects is the symbol of positive change and liberation).

WOODY ALLAN (born 1st december 1935, 22h55 in New York)
Just before celebrating his 70th birthday Wooldy Allan said to be very happy with his wife, who used to be his foster child. Transit Uranus is getting back and forward over his sun, so maybe that is why he is in the news today. For marrying his (foster) daughter Saturn ruler house 5 in the 7th might be an indication.
PUTIN VISITS HOLLAND
The Russian president Putin (born 7th of october 1952 at 9h30 in St. Petersburg) is visiting Holland. Time for a look at his chart.
Putin is a creative earth and fire combination. Pluto, ruler of his Scorpio ascendant, is on top and points at the power and influence he has. But as he is a Libra and Venus is prominent in the first house he is also a diplomat. There are success indicating midpointcombinaties, among them Pluto with Jupiter/MC.
The other side of Putin is more formal. You can also see that the means to reach the goal are infinite.
Today he has transit Uranus squaring progressive Sun and Ascendant. Uranus is in his ninth hous. This is not favourable for foreign trips, I'm afraid. There could also be a scandal revealed. And the MC is conjunct to Saturn. He aims for stabilisation, but unexpected challenges might block this. On a more personal level he is just too busy...

PRINCESS LEONOR BORN
A passionate princess in born in Spain, Leonor, at 2h30 a.m. She has a prominent Mercury on the IC and an even more prominent Uranus on the descendant. So I expect to see her more often in the news when she grows up...There are 3 so called golden yods in her chart (a combination of quintiles and biquintiles)!, among them a golden yod of Moon, Venus and Uranus. Her most narrow aspect is a romantic dreaming Moon trine Neptune.

LEWIS 'SCOOTER' LIBBY
Instead of Karl Rove they now arrested Lewis Libby (born 22th august 1950 at 3h57 a.m. New Haven). Libby has transit Saturn on his ascendant en yes, he is blamed, like Bush was with Saturn on the ascendant at the time of Katrina. But Jupiter is heading close to the IC and progressed Moon is about to make a sextiel with Jupiter. These indications seem to give good prospects for Libby.

BEN BERNANKE/ALAN GREENSPAN
If the Senate aproves it Ben Bernanke will be the succesor of Alan Greenspan, president of the USA banking world, in january 2006. Alan Greenspan is a Pisces with Sagittarius moon. Ben Bernanke is a Sagittarius with Pisces moon. Both have the natal Sun sextile Mars and the sun in aspect with both Jupiter and Pluto. Alan Greenspan has a mutual reception of Sun and Neptune. Ben Bernanke has a mutual reception of Mercury and Jupiter. You might find even more similarities. Alan Greenspan is born 6th of march 1926 in New York, Ben Bernanke 13th of december 1953 in Augusta. Sagittarius/Pisces: the combination for people with a vision and for people speculating....
On 1st of januari 2006 Jupiter is in de 14th degree of Scorpio and Neptune is in the 16th of Aquarius. Ben Bernankes'progressive sun is then in the 15th of Aqaurius, so the rulers of Sun and Moon both make aspects to the progressieve Sun.

KARL ROVE
Karl Rove is the close advisor of George W. Bush and born 25th of december 1950 in Denver. Eigth out of ten planets are in the capital signs, the signs of the initiative.
His sun squares Saturn and is sesquiquadrate to Pluto. In the composite with George W. Bush both Sun and Mars aspect the midpoint Saturn/Pluto. All the planets are afflicted! Karl Rove had a difficult youth. His mother committed suicide and his father and stepfather left him. Luckily for him Sun is sextile Jupiter trining Uranus and MC with Jupiter on IC. (Uranus however is opposite to the Sun). Jupiter and Uranus play a part in the news of today. Uranus is the planet of scandals, arrests and bad news. And that planet is now on the IC of Karl Rove. Recently Karl Rove was arrested and later released with transit Juipter trining progressiv Sun. At the same time progressive Sun forms a sextile with progressive Jupiter. Sunarc Uranus trines natal sun and approaches an opposition to Jupiter. This all i s making a progressive combination of Sun, Jupiter and Uranus: a fortunate swift of faith.
Karl Rove would be the man behind the hard campaigns of Bush. His MC shows midpointcombinations with Sun/Mars, Mars/Saturn and Pluto/Nodes: a drive for reaching goals no matter what. Soon he will reach another goal when the progressed MC trines Jupiter in february 2006.
ANNE FRANK
Anne Frank (12th of june 1929 Frankfurt 7u30) was in the Dutch news today. The house she lived in before she had to hide in the Achterhuis has been restored in the style of the 30's. And on her progressed IC today are Venus (style) and Pluto (comeback, revival).
GEORGE CLOONEY
George Clooney had a hard 2005. His brother in law and grandma died. His dog was eaten by a snake. And he injured himself badly on stage, damaging the dura. Now he suffers from headaches and lacks of memory. They have to operate him several times.
An accident never comes by itself in astrology. George Clooney (born 6th of may 1961 at 2h58 in Lexington Kentucky) has the MC in the 20th degree of Sagittarius. End of 2004 Pluto transitted over this MC. His solar return chart for 2005 shows the Sun on top (so health as the main item) squaring Neptune (making weak). In 2005 progressed MC was conjunct Saturn. Then Sunarc Saturn conjunct ascendant. Followed by progressed MC opposed to Mars. Primairy ascendant was also making a difficult aspect, squaring Uranus. I dare not say if things will get better soon as Transit Neptune is about to square natal Sun and in 2006 Uranus will get over the ascendant.
George Clooney is a Taurus with moon in Capricorn and ascendnat Pisces. Main aspects: Mercury (in 3, house of communications) square Uranus (in the 6th house of health): a negative relation between nerves and brain. He also has Mars conjunct Saturn (the disadvantages of work). And Pluto in the 6th.

CAMILLA AND CHARLES
On the 1st of november Camilla flies to the USA with her Charles for her first official travel abroad. Progressed MC trines Neptune, ruler 9th house of travel in the 3rd house of trips. This trip comes right after her second Saturn return. At the first one grows up. At the second return one gets wiser (or should we say: one becomes 'of age'.)? Camilla was born 17th of july 1946 at 7 a.m.

STANLEY 'Tookie" WILLIAMS
If governor Schwarzenegger does not stop it - and he never does - Stanley 'Tookie' Williams will be executed on december 13th after having spent 26 years in the deathrow. Stanley William is born in New Orleans on 29th of december 1953 and convicted in 1979 for the murder of 4 people.
In his natal chart is the combination of Mars squaring Saturn and quintile Pluto. Such combinations you see in the charts of victims of crime and of those who want to reach a goal no matter what, even if it takes violence.
But Stanley Williams bettered himself He has been nominated for the Nobel prize of Peace for what he has done to warn the youth.On the left on this page you find the adress for signing the petition to safe his life. More about him you find HERE.

24th of october 2005
ROSA PARKS (born 4th febr 1913 in Alabama) was a human rights activist and the first white American female refusing to stand up in the bus for a white male. She did that with progressed Sun squaring Pluto in 1955 and was afterwards being threatened that much that she moved to Detroit. Recently a transit of Neptunus got over her natal Sun. For those very old that might mean weakening and mental weakness.Her old age corresponds with my findings in the study of the relation between elements and length of life. She has 4 planets in earth and 4 in air. Earth and air score higther than water and fire for those getting very old. You find more about that HERE.

ORHAN PAMUK

You find this in the progressive chart and transits. Progressed Sun in inconjunct Uranus for the shocking events after a former transit of Saturn. And Venus was conjunct his sun today. Apart from making happy Venus is the symbol of ...peace.
