BARAJAS
This is the chart of the moment of the explosion on Barajas, 30th December 2006 at 9 a.m. (Barajas is at 3d33m39s East and 40d28m20s North). Two persons killed and several were wounded. The Bask terrorist organisation ETA is responsable.
The chart shows Chiron exactly square the MC, that is connected with the midpoints Mars/Pluto and Pluto/Node (group act of violence). The Sun, Mars and Saturn are involved with the midpoint Uranus/MC. Uranus and MC come together in case of disaster (see the chart of Hiroshima and the special about 0911). Mars and Saturn in combination refer to death.

MICHAEL JORDAN
On 4 January 2002 he already asked for a divorce, but changed his mind when progressed Venus was conjunct his Sun. Now he is to divorce, again, they say, and I see the progressed Moon about to trine progressed Jupiter. He does not seem to have the 'normal' indications for a divorce (in the chart of a male: Moon in conflict with Saturn or Neptune, Venus in conflict with Saturn, Mars in conflict with Uranus. (conjunction with Mars, Saturn or Uranus is also a conflict; ruler 1 or a planet in the first house in conflict with ruler 7 or a planet in the seventh house). At least: not if he was born 17th February 1963 at 10:20 in New York. In fact, in that case ruler 1 is Venus and Venus trines Pluto, ruler 7th house. The only thing is that the Moon is in the 7th house (like in the song of 'the age of Aquarius' and his Sun happens to be in Aquarius:). That Moon is squaring both Uranus and Pluto:a combination for radical and impulsive behaviour.
29th December 2006 RUANDA again:
VINCENT BAJINYA
Vincent Bajinya is a medical doctor and he will be transferred to Ruanda to face the judge as he has been accused of taking part in the mass slaughter in Ruanda. He was born in Kigombe Rhengeri at 28th February 1961. Jupiter is oriental and conjunct Saturn for being international and a scientific academic. His peregrine Mars is sesquisquare Saturn/Pluto for being confronted with unnatural death and violence at any possible level. These days both Saturn and Pluto trine his progressed Sun. That trine is rather peculiar and I would have liked to see his hour of birth.
Apart from Vincent Bajinya, also Charles Munyaneza, Celestin Ugirashebuja and Emmanuel Nteziryayo are sent to Ruanda. There is a special about Ruanda on Astromarkt. Compared to other wanted mass criminals in Ruanda Vincent Bajinya also has a prominten (in this case peregrine) Mars. Mars is septile Uranus.Ten years ago -during the events- his progressed Sun squared the progressed Mars and at the same time Uranus inconjunct Mars. Most of the other wanted men had Mars related to Uranus in 1996, too. See the special and the article about Mars-Uranus.
29th December 2006
SADDAM HUSSEIN
It seems the execution of Saddam Hussein is near. Would it be on January 2nd? That day Jupiter semi squares his progressed ruler 8 (Jupiter) and transit Uranus perfects the sesquisquare with Pluto. It is a combination for a relief: about his death?
Saddam Hussein was born 28th April 1937 in Tikrit with Sun in Taurus and Moon in Sagittarius. There are different versions about the time of his birth (between 7 a.m. and 21h40).(PS: if he will be hanged on the 30st before 6 - as is the growing rumour - he must be born at 7:05 a.m. In that case Transit Mars ruler progressed 8th house is square progressed Ascendant).
Whatever time it was, Saddam Hussein has Saturn almost exactly on Aries Point. And that Saturn is oriental too! This prominent Saturn is also exactly opposed to the midpoint Mars/Pluto: a midpoint Yod pointing the theme of unnatural or violent death in his life.
In his chart the element of air is missing. That makes him unreasonable sometimes. Mercury is in harmony with the opposition of Jupiter and Pluto (on the horizon of the 21h40 chart) and that indicates talent for speeching and social growth in a general sense. Capricorn ascendant seems to fit, looking at the beard he is wearing...The Natal Sun is close to Uranus, a sign for a revolutionairy person, someone who wants to make the world 'a better place' and for being controversial. The progressed Sun was in harmony with both Jupiter and Pluto when he got the power.
Saddam Hussein has a few things in common with other dictators, such as Hitler (Jupiter in Capricorn: increases ambition and might lead to nepotism), Stalin (Saturn in Aries: the lone fighter, sometimes a tyrant) and also like Stalin he has Venus in hard aspect with Pluto (lust for power and money).
Saddam Hussein also has the midpointcombination for strategy: MercurySaturnPluto (like most politicians have).
28th December 2006
JOHN EDWARDS
John Edwards (born 10 June 1953 at 7:02 a.m. in Seneca) announced to go for the presidency in the USA again. Last time he was beaten by John Kerry and could not be the democratical candidate. So he became the candidate vice president. This time maybe Hillary Clinton will be the other candidate...John Edwards is a real 'die hard': he has 3 midpoint combinations made by Sun, Saturn and Pluto.
28th December 2006 TONY BLAIR AND JUPITER
Like was the case with Richard Hammond (Top Gear) and earlier this year with Bon Jovi Jupiter acted as a blessing in disguise for Tony Blair. With Xmas Tony Blair (born 6th May 1953 at 6:10 a.m. in Edinburg) had progressed Moon trine Jupiter. That is a wonderful aspect for a satisfied feeling. He was on the way to the estate of the Bee Gees for a nice holiday when his plane drove next to the runway. All is well that ends well and nobody got hurt. For the shriek!!! Uranus was involved, making a semi square with both Mercury and MC.
27th December 2006
MOZART
Today it became news that a piece of work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart has been discovered. And today his descendant is right in the middle of Uranus in his nativity and Transit Uranus of today. Is not that: news? You can find Mozart's chart and progressives under this link
MARCO PANELLA
The co-founder of the Italian Radical Party (an anti-clerical party that takes part in the present government) is in hunger strike out of protest against the confirmation of the death sentence for Saddam Hussein. He is born 2nd May 1930 and that day Uranus was oriental. A prominent Uranus, as the symbol of renewal, 'making the world a better place' and for the person who is often being discussed. Uranus is square to Pluto in his chart and Uranus is aspecting the midpoints Mars/Pluto and Saturn/Pluto. The combination of Uranus and Pluto indicates the 'radical' or extreme. The combination of Mars, Saturn and Pluto indicates the theme of the unnatural (or violent) death. And he is radically against that...The most narrow aspect Panella has is Sun trine Saturn: a man of principles.
27th December 2006
WIKIPEDIA, JIMMY WALES
Wikipedia is an internet encyclopedia that is made by the users themselves. Today it was announced that Wikipedia is busy trying to make a searching machine. The owner of Wikipedia is Jimmy Wales, born 7th August 1966 in Huntsville (USA) on a day fit to make a man with enterprise. Mars is the oriental planet and joins Jupiter, the planet of succes, publishers and being international. Venus completes this trio. A perfect match for Jimmy Wales! The conjunction is trine Neptunus, sextile Uranus and Pluto. I bet he is a lucky bird in love.
Interesting is that the conjunction of Uranus and Pluto is semi square the succes indicating midpoints of Sun/Mars, Sun/Venus AND Sun/Jupiter.
There is another side of 7th August 1966 and that is the sesqui square of Sun and Saturn on Aries Point (for being a notable bussinessman), is square Neptune. That combination might indicate limitations, restrictions and possible health issues. But not now. It is not surprising at all (if you are an astrologer:) that when he founded Wikimedia his progressed Sun was sextile progressed Jupiter.
24th December 2006
ROWAN WILLIAMS
The arch bishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, born 14th June 1950, expressed his critics against the Irac policy of prime minister Blair, pointing at the danger for christians in that area. Rowan Williams is a theologer who almost caused a schisma in the English church about homo sexuality (and he was not against homo sexuals being active in the church).
Data for William: Earth and air combination, Sun and Moon (that is oriental) in Gemini, Mars square Uranus and semi square Pluto. Sun peregrine. Closest aspect Mercury in Taurus sesqui square Neptune. Jupiter in Pisces in a midpoint Yod with Mars/Pluto. Venus sesquisquare Aries Point, trine Saturn, inconjunct Neptune. That combination says: a communicative leader, a man of theories who is rather extreme or radical and succesful in the field of arts or religion or media: a diplomate or an artist.
His Mercury is exactly conjunct Tony Blair's Jupiter, who shares an affliction of Mercury and Neptune with Rowan Williams. As it is said in the article about sharing aspects:" In business there might be a misty way of communicating or something hidden between you.". Jupiter and Neptune connected with Mercury: talking about religion...
Transit Sun squared Williams Mars and Pluto on the day of his critics and Transit Uranus opposed Progressed Mercury. That is for disagreement and anger.

MICHEL TABACHNIK
Michel Tabachnik is a Swiss director and composer, now working in The Netherlands (Noord Nederlands Orkest, Northern Netherlands Orchestra). On the 20th December he was finally aquitted for membership of the Solar Temple and for murder. In the 90's over a hundred of the members of the Solar Temple killed themselves (and their children) to leave for Sirius. It is unclear how Tabachnik got involved in this, according to the French, or what was the reason for the trial. In the mid 90's he had progressed Sun inconjunct Saturn and progressed Saturn sextile Pluto. Transit Jupiter was conjunct the progressed Sun.
He was born November 10th 1942 in Switzerland. Jupiter peregrine (for the Swiss international who worked in f.ex. Toronto and Kopenhagen) and Neptune on Aries Point (for the artist). Jupiter and Neptunue together point at religion and ideology. Mars is biquintile Saturn and square Pluto, indicating the importance of violent or unnatural death in his life. Het was aquitted before, in 1996 and 2001, but now it is final. The transits for that moment of aquittance: Neptune square Sun, Saturn conjunct Saturn, Pluto semi square Mars, Saturn trine Pluto, Venus semi square Jupiter. We see the combination of Mars, Saturn and PLuto and prominent Neptune. Today the transit Sun squares Neptune and he is in the media (in a sort of negative way). Hour of birth is unknown.
December 23, 2006
PIERGIORGIO WELBY
On the 21st of december Piergiorgio Welby died. That was his wish. He was kept alive for over 8 years by machines and could only move his eyes. He asked for euthanasia, but that was denied. His wish started a debate in Italy, where there is much influence still of the Roman Catholic Church, a church that does not allow their members or any one else in Italy to die in peace and without unnecessary pain and suffering. Even not if that suffering was unnatural.
A friendly anaestist, mr. Roccio, volunteered to stop treatment and faces prosecution now by the Italian law. On the day of his death transit Jupiter squared the progressed Sun (Jupiter is for support and medical aid). Mrs. Emma Bonino, an Italian socialist minster, supported his wish to die and that is shown in her Jupiter on the Venus of Welby. (Jupiter proofs to be the planet of support). Welby was born 26th December 1945 in Rome and had a midpoint Yod of Sun opposing Saturn/Uranus (limited liberty and lack of independance), a.o. Mercury trine Pluto was his closest aspect: the power of communication (he also wrote poems). And on the day he died transit Mars trined Pluto (a victory) and Uranus was sesquiquadrate Jupiter (a frustrating relief).
Observation: in his nativity there are two quindeciles (for obsessions): Saturn-Neptune (illness) 75 degrees and Jupiter-Neptune (religion) 15 degrees...

JOHN DEMJANJUK
Though there may be doubts about the question if he really is 'Ivan the Terrible' of concentration camp Treblinka, John Demjanjuk will be sent back to Ukrainia, the country were he was born on April 3, 1920. In 1988 he was convicted in Israël but later (29th July 1993) he was released due to lack of evidence. On April 30 2004 an Ohia court found him guilty again because he lied about having worked as a guard in the war. Now it is final, he must leave the USA. Demjanjuk is now 86. His progressed Sun is conjunct progressed Pluto and sextile progressed Saturn this year: that is a combination for a hard confrontation.
On his birth day 50% of the planets were in water signs and I found that water signs are frequent in the charts of former guards in concentration camps (the ones that were captured, of course). More about 'bias' you read in the article you find under this link. Uranus is oriental and that makes him a controversial person (and in another life maybe avant garde). There is a triple combination of Mars, Saturn and Pluto in his nativity. That is a combination indicating that violance and unnatural death are playing their part in your life. Three is a crowd.
Very interesting is that the same aspects are involved at the time of the trial and the time of the incidents or act. During the war Demjanjuk had Progressed Sun trine Pluto and sextile Saturn, while Transit Saturnus was conjunct his progressed Sun and transit Pluto squared progressed Sun. Now again Saturn and Pluto are in his progressed chart. This effect is seen more often. But in this case Saturn and Pluto also take part in the three midpointcombinations of Mars, Saturn and Pluto.
WINTERSOLSTICE
Here is the chart for the moment that the Sun returns to bring us next spring:), to be precise at 1:22 on December 22.

MATTHEW FISHER
Organ player Matthew Fisher (Procol Harum) will get the credits he wanted from the rest of the team for his part in the success of 'A whiter shade of pale'. Forty percent, the judge decided. This happens to him with transit Mars trine natal and progressed Pluto. But of course there is more than just a transit of Mars (in the birth chart in a midpoint Yod with Mercury/Jupiter; a combination for effectively making one's point, says Noel Tyl and this fits again). But that planet comes by so often. So it could be the trine of Sun and Jupiter in his solar return as well. Or because of an aspect with his MC that I do not know (no birth time available). But why this delay and why about money?
On his birth day Venus was inconjunct Jupiter and sesquisquare Pluto: a combination for success in the arts, but look at the aspects! Inconjunct Jupiter: a disconnection between arts or pleasure and happiness or success. Sesquisquare Pluto: according to Bernadette Brady a sesquisquare is a frustrating sign of 'not yet' and Venus-Pluto is a combination for gain and money issues. There is also Mars conjunct Saturn, indicating the limitations or ends of cooperation. Sun is biquintile Pluto (creative will power) and trine Saturn (a combination for a 'die hard', fit for enduring confrontations).
Matthew Fisher was born 7th March 1946 in Surrey, England.
21st December 2006 TARA CONNER/DONALD TRUMP
Almost forgotten about this item: Donald Trump allowed the beauty queen Tara Conner, crying on tele, to keep her title after she 'confessed' disbehavious unworthy to a beauty queen (...). This 'show' occured with Transit Neptune on his descendant (the media at play) and transit Pluto conjunct her Sun (being confronted with power, politics, sex, life and death and eh...having to do things for money, for example...). It is also an aspect that makes you want to live more intense than ever.
For Europeans it is quite amazing to see the strict demand of decent behaviour laid upon a beauty queen, a girl who dresses up in bathsuit and walks before the eyes of mostly old men who judge her fysical (and as they say also mental) qualities. OK, and is Tara Conner such a bad girl? She is a mix of 50% fire and 30% water, very emotional and passionate (as you may have noticed:). Her Venus is in a tight conjunction with Uranus (and close to the Moon of Donald Trump, BTW). Venus conjunct Uranus if prominent is an indication for extreme beauty, sense of rythm and love affairs (or divorces, it is one of the indications for breaking up relations). And this Venus-Uranus IS prominent: the planets are rising right before the Sun! And her Moon squares that point: the need for exitement! Jupiter is connected to Aries Point by a sesquisquare for being known internationally (by now...).
Donald Trump is a rich man with a lot of power. Venus is in an obsessive quindecile of 15 degrees with Pluto and Pluto is peregrine! His Ascendant is right on the midpoint of Mars/Pluto for a 'hero image'. Uranus is oriental (for being independant and a rebel, changing his and other persons' worlds and life). And so is hers. His Uranus opposes hers! A generation of differences lies between them.
Tara Conner (18th December 1985 Russel Springs, Kentucky) and Donald Trump (14th December 1946 at 8:51 a.m. in Queens).
20th December 2006
DAVID IRVING
David Irving, Hollocaust denier, has been released out of prison today. He was in the Astromarkt news before (see the message in Italic) and in fact there is still Transit Pluto sesquisquare Uranus (radical change) going on in his chart. Venus today makes a trine to the natal Uranus but the transit Sun is inconjunct Pluto. Note that both Neptune and Pluto in his birth chart are peregrine, Pluto close to oppositon with Aries Point. Neptune and Pluto were involved at the time of the judgement and they are still active today. Probably these planets are crucial and/or prominent in his chart.
Today (note: that was 20 Feb 2006) David Irving got 3 years jail for denying the holocaust for years, although today he said he believed millions of Jews died in the days of the Nazis. Too late, apparently. He is born 24th of March 1938, but I do not know his hour of birth. Sun, Venus, Mercury and Saturn are in Aries, squaring the Moon. Mars, ruler of the stellium in Aries, conjuncts Uranus: that makes a rebel. A creative fire-and-earth combination with Mercury inconjunct Neptune: fantasy and/or being blind for facts or fraude. Pluto has no other aspect than a trine with the Nodes: seeking challenges and influence (with success – trine).
Today progressed Saturn conjuncts Venus (Lady of Justice?). Transit Neptune semisquare Sun for disappointment. Transit Pluto sesquiquadrate Uranus (a radical change).
16th December 2006 SILVIO BERLUSCONI
Today Silvio Berlusconi got a pacemaker. That happened with:
Venus - ruler 8th house - opposed to MC and trine Uranus in 8;
Mars inconjunct MC and inconjunct Uranus (a Yod with Mars as the Apex)
Neptune inconjunct progressed MC
These aspects include all the necessary ingredients for on operation including anesthesia. And Venus? Maybe he took the opportunity to do a beauty operation (again)?
Silvio Berlusconi was born 29th August 1936 at 6:30 a.m. in Milano.
DIANA
Link to the chart of Diana, princess of Wales, who was in the news these days, because the investigation about the circumstances of her death have ended and the investigators found that a tragic accident (and not murder) ended her life.
MAARTEN BIESHEUVEL
Maarten Biesheuvel is a Dutch autor. He will get the P.C. Hooft prize (with 60.000 euro in cash) for his total works. He has been suffering from severe depressions all his life and spent time in a psychiatric hospital.
He has a strong Moon in Cancer, afflicted by Mars, Saturn and Pluto. There must be a strong destructive need in his soul. In his progressions Sun, Venus and Mars are afficted by Saturn and Pluto (again or still). But there was a creative solution for the Saturn and Pluto afflictions: Saturn and Pluto are in a quintile aspect!
Mercury in his chart is oriental (conjunct Uranus) and on Aries Point with Sun/Saturn, Sun/Pluto and Sun/Mars. His mental state AND his communication skills were pronounced this way.
18th December 2006 AKBAR HASHEMI RAFSANJANI
Rafsanjani is been accused of being the man behind a terrorist attack in Argentina (where over 85 most Jewish persons died) and he is been called a moderate man, too. Today he has won the elections in Iran with a Sun transit inconjunct one of his most narrow aspects: Mars conjunct Pluto, oriental! (BTW and Pluto is inconjunct Saturn): a rather dangerous and prominent combination in this chart. Venus is peregrine (diplomacy or being artistic at any possible level) and quintile Jupiter (finding a way for being loved). The Sun in Virgo trine Uranus: he is a reformer.
He is born 25th August 1934 in Nough (Iran). When the Argentine government asked for his arrest (October 25th 2006) that was a bad day for Rafsanjani. Among others: the transit Sun, Venus and Mars all three opposed to natal Uranus and transit Uranus was sesquisquare ...the conjunction of Mars and Pluto. Pluto afflicted Venus, Nodes and natal Pluto. Etc. Those who see the Astromarkt Newspaper more often know that the combination of Uranus and Pluto is the combination for a drastical change, such as an arrest. Sun/Uranus and Sun/Pluto are involved with Aries Point. So is Sun/Mars.
For more information about these combinations: About Mars with Uranus> About Mars with Pluto About Uranus and Pluto
These sort of combinations are often seen in the charts of very impulsive, accident prone or 'explosive' and radical persons as the examples in the above articles will show.
15th December 2006
TONY BLAIR
The Labour Party seems to have accepted secret loans, coming from the sort of people that want something in return, for example a nomination for peerage. Prime Minister Tony Blair (6th May 1953 in Edinburgh, at 6h10 a.m.) was questioned by the police about this, as a whitness. That was yesterday, the day of the news about princess Diana and her accident. And it seems Tony Blair had choosen that day, probably to cover his bad news. The Times found out the scandall was known before weeks! Accusations that ask for a look at his present astrological positions.
It seems that if Tony Blair had choosen this day to keep this silent, he should have consulted an astrologer first. Because Uranus, planet of the news and the excitement, is semi square his MC (and he is a the MP:). That is the less fortunate part. Pluto is exactly trine Mercury at the same time (he must have been a very convincing whitness). Jupiter is close to his descendant, promising support. It is just Mars, the prominent planet on his natal ascendant, that is causing trouble in his progressed chart. And Mars is a quick moving planet, so this period will not last for long. Mars is semi square Progressed Saturn and Saturn is semi square progressed Mars. Mars is also semi square progressed Neptune and inconjunct progressed Sun. Mars prominently on the ascendant of his birth chart makes him a fighter (and in Gemini particulairy fighting a verbal battle).
There is another progressed aspect in Blair's chart: on Xmas day the progressed trine between Moon in the tenth house and Jupiter will perfect. I know by experience this is the most fortunate aspect a person can get in life. So I am very curious what it will be...
14th December 2006
GOVERNMENT FOUND SOLUTION
Re: news of 13th December: The Dutch government found a solution for the crisis. Minister Verdonk looses part of her job (that will now be done by mr. Hirsch Ballin) and stays on. She had both good and bad transits and progressions, as you may see below.
Transit Sun semi square Progressed Mars
++ Transit Jupiter half vierkant progressief MC
- Transit Saturn sesqui square progressed Venus
++ Progressed Moon semi square Jupiter (perfects the 16th)
- -Progressed Moon semi square progressed Saturn (perfects 22nd)
+ Transit Sun semi square Venus
--+ Transit Saturn conjunct MC
+ Transit Pluto trine Jupiter
+ Transit Node trine Saturn
- Transit Neptune sesqui square Mars
13th December 2006
DUTCH GOVERNMENT
Crisis in the Dutch government as Rita Verdonk, minister for integration, refused to stop sending back foreigners who do not have a legitimate reason to be allowed to remain in Holland, according to the present laws (while the laws might change shortly) and a small majority of the parliament signed a petition that they disaprove of her policy. The government is considering how to act and it is difficult. Because it is shortly after elections took place and they already resigned and are waiting for the new government to take over. She probably has to step back ...Saturn is right on her MC...But the ministers of the Liberals (her party) have said they might step back too.
Interesting besides: the chart of Rita Verdonk has similarities with that of Margareth Thatcher. So it may not be surprising that she is called 'Iron Rita'. They both have Mars oriental, Sun afflicted by Pluto, They share a Libra Sun and Scorpio ascendant, too! Both have Saturn around the ascendant. Their Sun make aspects with Jupiter and Pluto. Thatcher has Mooon conjunct MC and Verdonk Moon square MC. Check it out! Thatcher is born 13th October 1925 at 9 in Grantham. Rita Verdonk was born 18th October 1955 at 8h45 in Utrecht. See the drawing of her chart with the positions of Thatchers chart wrapped around:
13th December 2006
PRINCE LAURENT
In Belgium there is a lot of commotion about Prince Laurent since December 2nd. Now a former colonel told the news papers that he once bought 3 Ferrari's on one single day, that he deliberately caused a scandal in his fathers' life by making public that King Albert has a daughter out of wedlock. And it seems his parents once hired an exorcist to drive the devil out of Laurent!...Here is the 2 December message again and the chart...
"Belgian prince Laurent, brother of Filip, and at least the son of Princess Paola (it is said that his father is an Italian representative of the Martini company instead of King Albert) is in the news again about money problems. It seems that officers of the royal navy committed fraude to ensure Laurent of the proper fourniture for his luxuous villa (that he could not afford:). That occured in 1990 and now there is a trial against the officers. Transit Uranus is sesquisquare the natal Sun of Laurent, but in fact he is in the news all of his life. As you may see in the picture, Uranus is on top and Pluto is oriental. Moon in Scorpio, ruler 8, squares Saturn ruler 2 and they both are in a hard aspect with Aries Point , so that he is known for these kind of troubles with money. There are even more testimonies: Sun in Libra and Moon in Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio. .. Laurent was born 19th October 1963 at 11:20 a.m. MET in Laken Brussels.
You see how Pluto oriental (for money, power and influence) is close to Uranus on top. That is a radical combination that immediately draws attention. The Sun is also square the midpoint Uranus/Pluto."
Maybe I should add that the Moon square Saturn in his chart indicates at the relationship he has with his parents and possibly also at the relationships between the King and Queen...For those interest in their charts, there is a Dutch article at Astromarkt about the Belgian royalty showing their charts and data.
December 10 2006 PINOCHET
Pinochet died. The very old and never punished Chilene ex-dictator was born 25th November 1915 in Santiage (someone mentions: Valparaiso) and possibly at 19h30. He has (whatever time) Moon in Cancer trine Jupiter: profit of supporters (keeping him out of jail). Just like in the chart of Margareth Thatcher (born 13th October 1925 at about 9 a.m. in Grantham) Mars is oriental. This position makes militant. The same Margareth said she was deeply sad about her friend Augusto's death. Pinochet has Sun in Sagittarius (2degrees40 minutes). Margareth has Venus in the same degree (2degrees 4 minutes). They share a hard aspect between Sun and Pluto: both are equally fanatic.
6th December 2006 DANNY BLIND
Last year's coach of Ajax, Danny Blind, born August 1 , 1961 in Oost-Souburg at 4:03 hit a car and caused a bad injury of the woman who was in that car, standing still, on the 6th of December at 23h45. It seems he drank 3 times as much as is allowed.
You see the radix with transits and progressed Ascendant. The midpoint Saturn/Ascendant is conjunct progressed Ascendant. And both Uranus and Pluto (sudden change) contact the Mercury-Saturn opposition (restricted transportation) on the horizon (by sesquisquare and inconjunct). Mercury, Saturn and Pluto are connected to the degree of the progressed ascendant, making a square, inconjunct and trine. A hard confrontation with facts...
4th December 2006 JOHN BOLTON
John Bolton was born 20th November 1948 in Baltimore USA. Today he left his function of UN ambassador for the USA. His reputation completely fits his Uranus on Aries Point (for being known as a rebel, controversial), inconjunct the natal Sun. In fact, in progression THIS YEAR that inconjunction perfected...So only now he is being dismissed.
4th December 2006
GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA
If you could have read my message of 21st October 2006 (in Dutch:) you should have read a lot of Saturn in it. And the word 'delay' or 'divorce; There were strange aspects for a marriage and see what happens....He broke up with her. This is the message of October 21st translated:
Late love for Gina Lollobrigida (4th July 1927 Subiaco at about 3 o'clock at night. She is to marry a 45-year old Spanyard. Gina has a Gemini ascendant (for keeping you young). Jupiter and Uranus are on top for being inventive and having unexpected happiness in life. Venus conjunct Neptune is in a creative biquintile with Jupiter/Uranus.
On November 20 the progressed Venus will sextile Sun and Transit Uranus is now tirne Sun (positive news). Saturn is however making strange aspects for a marriage. Transit Saturn conjunct the progressed Ascendant and getting close to Venus. Saturn is not only the planet of divorce, delay, respect and formality. Saturn is also the planet of age differences and age. Whoever gets Saturn on the Ascendant has a heavy time ahead and often is being blamed, just like George W. Bush experienced right after Katrina. The news about her engagement sure raised a good deal of dust!
BONINO, MINISTER IN HUNGER STRIKE
Emma Bonino, Italian minister of commerce, is joining the hunger strike of Pietrogorgio Welby. Mr. Welby wants to be allowed to die as he is suffering from dystrofia. He cannot walk or sit, can only breathe artificially and pleads euthansia. Euthansia in Italy is forbidden, even in such tragic cases as this one.
Emma Bonino (9th March 1948) is a left wing politician with Sun inconjunct Saturn (cannot say no...) and an empathic Sun and Moon in Pisces (unless she was born before 6 a.m., then it is a Moon Aquarius). At the moment her progressed Sun squares progressed Saturn, Sun Arc Sun squares Saturn and is conjunct the Northern Node: a hard time together with others. What she does is quite radical and maybe impulsive....So, she has been provided with a natal Sun biquintile Pluto and square Uranus. More about the Uranus-Pluto connection...
HUGO CHAVEZ
Today Chavez proclaimed to have won the elections for the presidency of Venezuela (with about 2/3 of the votes). You can read all about Chavez in the chart reading. The chart reading of mr. Chavez is also available in Castellano!
2nd December 2006
MATTI VANHANEN
Prime minister of Finland, Matti Vanhanen, is the most sexy man of Finland, said Chirac in 2006. Now there is a gossip that he dropped a girl-friend by SMS!
Matti Vanhane has a Venus in Scorpio right square Pluto and Jupiter (succes with women, being loved very much) but also conjunct Saturn (restrictions in love, and with Pluto: hard confrontations in love). He divorced in 2005. Matti Vanhanen has a birth date of 4 November 1955.
PRINCE LAURENT
Belgian prince Laurent, brother of Filip, and at least the son of Princess Paola (it is said that his father is an Italian representative of the Martini company instead of King Albert) is in the news again about money problems. It seems that officers of the royal navy committed fraude to ensure Laurent of the proper fourniture for his luxuous villa (that he could not afford:). That occured in 1990 and now there is a trial against the officers. Transit Uranus is sesquisquare the natal Sun of Laurent, but in fact he is in the news all of his life. As you may see in the picture, Uranus is on top and Pluto is oriental. Moon in Scorpio, ruler 8, squares Saturn ruler 2 and they both are in a hard aspect with Aries Point , so that he is known for these kind of troubles with money. There are even more testimonies: Sun in Libra and Moon in Scorpio, Venus in Scorpio. .. Laurent was born 19th October 1963 at 11:20 a.m. MET in Laken Brussels.
You see how Pluto oriental (for money, power and influence) is close to Uranus on top. That is a radical combination that immediately draws attention. The Sun is also square the midpoint Uranus/Pluto.

JOE FRAZIER
For charity famous boxer Joe Frazier, born 17th January 1944 at about 6 a.m. in Beaufort SC, USA, has a fight against the mayor of Memphis, Willie Herenton (former boxer) with Pluto opposing his progressed Mars. As it says: a fight (Mars) he wants to and MUST win (Pluto)!

POPE BENEDICT TO TURKEY
For all about the astrological conditions at the time of his visit to Turkey and for the birth chart of Pope Benedict: Go to the special!

KATE MIDDLETON
Kate Middleton (born 9th January 1982, time unknown), girl friend of Prince William of England (21st June 1982, 21:03), has been invited to join the royal family for Christmas. They seem to have a lot in common and that shows in their charts. She and William share a Moon in Cancer and a prominent Neptune. Both have aspects between Sun and Moon, Sun and Jupiter, Sun and Uranus, Mercury and Mars, Venus and Mars.
Now that it is news that Kate will celebrate Xmas with William there is a solar transit with Sun and Uranus (the news planet).

QUEEN MARGARETHE of DENMARK
A heavy smoker, queen Margarethe of Denmark, who used to be obstinate and continue to keep a cigaret in her mouth always, has announced that she will not be seen smoking in public, any more. She is born 16th April 1940 at 10:10 in Copenhagen with a Pisces MC and Jupiter oriental on top inconjunct Neptune and Neptune opposed to Mercury in Pisces square Aries Point. Last year Uranus crossed over her MC, making changes. But the most important astrological changes are the changing signs of both progressed Sun and progressed Ascendant: another way of living and another way of presenting herself.

POISON IN EASTERN EUROPE
Is Putin (07101952 093000 CET
St Petersburg
) behind the death by pollonium of former co-spy and Putin-critic Litvinenko? Putin's Pluto is oriental and on the MC and right now Saturn is transitting the MC. That signifies a moment of hard confrontations, such as in times of elections. He also has a progressed chart aspect of Ascendant conjunct Sun: a moment that highlights his 'way of doing it'. Yesterday Venus passed his progressed Ascendant...Astrology is not good for pointing fingers. Criminals and their victims use to share the same sort of aspects. The KGB has used poison before. Also poisoned was the president of Ukrania, mr. Joesjtsjenko. He was born 23th February 1954 with Sun in Pisces and Moon in Scorpio, a mysterious combination. The Sun is square Mars and sesquisquare Uranus, a combination for a freedom fighter. There are 3 planets in Pisces. In 2004, the year of the poisoning, his Sun opposed to Neptune, planet of poisons and secrets and spies...Apart from Moon in Pisces Litvinenko also has a prominent Neptune on Aries Point and oriental. Joestsjenko survived, but he was demaged and his skin never healed. Venus in Pisces is sesquisquare Neptune. Unlike Litvinenko he did not have Neptune on Mars/Saturn. He has Pluto on Mars/Saturn. Maybe that is why he survived this attack.
Back to Putin. It does not seem very clever to kill all those that do not agree with you, just like former communist leaders used to do. Soon Pluto will conjunct his natal Mars and SunArc MC will square Uranus. Later Sun will semi square Mars and activate the existing semi square in the birth chart. These aspects refer to forced changes and defensive acts. It is a strange idea that the leader of the Socialist Party in Holland, Jan Marijnissen, who just gathered 3 times as much votes as before, was born within 24 hours after Putin was and has the same ascendant (8th October 1952 10:02 Oss). It is nice to see the differences in their charts here below (chart of mr. Marijnissen surrounded by positions of Putin).

MICHAEL GORBATSJOV
Former and last Sovjet president Gorbatsjov (2nd March 1931 0h38 Provolmoje) has had succesfull surgery surgery today with Transit Saturnus square to Progressed Sun, Transit Uranus conjunct natal Sun and transit Uranus trine Jupiter. The last transit I regard as an indication of relief.
DUTCH ELECTIONS
The Dutch elections has been won today by Jan Peter Balkenende, sitting prime minister, born 8th May 1956 in Kapelle at 11h37 MET. Here is his chart It will be impossible to continue to cooperate with the liberal party, that suffered a severe lost. Ruler of the liberals is Mark Rutte (14th February 1967) who has Saturn opposed to his Sun. A few months ago he beated the popular right wing minister of Integration Rita Verdonk. It seems many voted for her today, instead of for the leader. She was born 18th October 1955 at 8h45 in Utrecht and Saturn is on her MC while Pluto trines her MC. These seem to be proper transits of lost and gain.
20 november 2006
ALEXANDER LITVINENKO
Former spy and dissident dissident Alexander Litvinenko (born 4th December 1962 in Voronezh, now British citizen) has been poisoned in London by the Russian secret service, he says. His condition is serious. This happens to him with Transit Uranus square his birth Sun and semi square his progressed Sun. His progressed Sun is approaching the conflictious aspect Sun-Pluto in his natal chart. He has Moon in Pisces and that is good for a spy (keeping a secret). Neptune is oriental and connected to Zero Aries.
DANIEL CRAIG/JAMES BOND
Daniel Craig (born 2nd March 1968 in Chester) is James Bond in the latest movie about this top spy. In Holland the release is the coming week. Daniel Craig has a peregrine Sun in Pisces and Moon is in Aries. In this period he has Transit Uranus conjunct the natal Sun. I think this might refer to tension about the way his movie will be received by the public.
17th November 2006
SEGOLENE ROYAL
Ségolène Royal, born 22nd September 1953 in Dakar at 16h10 according to Astrothème, has been chosen to be the French socialist presidential candidate for the next elections. In the drawing below you see the indications for leadership, even without birth time!
Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars are prominent. The Sun on Aries Point and on the end of the vocational routing (leadership), Mercury peregrine (communication on any level), Mars peregrine and oriental (strongly pronounced drive and energy, possibly any level from being assertive to agressive). Mars, Venus and Pluto closely together ahead of the Sun: a passionate politician.
Now that she has been chosen to be the socialist leader transit Sun is inconjunct her progressed Jupiter and square progressed Pluto. Both transit Pluto AND progressed Pluto are opposing both progressed and natal Jupiter. Four times a combination for success! That is why she won with an overwhelming (Pluto) majority (Jupiter)...
13th October 2006
MADONNA AND CHILD
Madonna L. Ciccone wants to adopt an African boy (David Banda, from Malawi) and about 67 organisations want to fight the adoption because she should have broken the rules. This is against the will of the boy's father. Why such a resistance and why now? It is due to Saturn and Uranus, her rulers 5 and progressed 5th house of children...
Transit Saturn disposes of her fifth natal house. This planet is now semi square her progressed Sun. At the same time Uranus (ruler of the progressed 5th house) is inconjunct her progressed Sun, opposing her natal Maan and sesquisquare her natal Jupiter. Rumour and sensation is connected with Uranus. Disadvantages belong to Saturn...
Madonna has Uranus oriental in her birth chart (dated 16th August 1958, 7h05 a.m. Bay City). With Mars square Uranus she tends to act on impulse in a radical avant-garde way. And she makes (Mars) news (Uranus)....
9th November 2006
BRITNEY SPEARS
Kevin Federline, almost ex-husband of Britney demands the custody of the children and several millions of dollars plus some respect. He does that with his progressed Pluto (of demands and authority) exactly square (for battle) the progressed Moon of Britney. Her Moon is in the natal fifth house of (pro-)creativity.
Britney was born 2nd December 1981 at 1h30 a.m. in Mahon and Kevin on 21st March 1978. He is an Aries, she is a Sagittarius. She has Moon in Aquarius, he in Leo. Her Venus in Capricorn opposes his Mars in Cancer. There is attraction, but it must sure have been hard to try to live together. Venus is tightly opposed to Pluto in Federline's natal chart: the key to his demands of millions.
8 November 2006
PRINCESS MARGARITA
Daughter of princess Irene (so a niece of the Dutch queen), princess Margarita, officially ended her marriage with Edwin de Roy van Zuydewijn today, with a PERFECT square of Saturn with the progressed Sun. Amazing, astrology, is not it? You can check it: she was born 13th October 1972 in Nijmegen at 14h33.
DONALD RUMSFELD/GEORGE W. BUSH/HILLARY CLINTON
USA minister of defense Donald Rumsfeld (born 9th July 1923 at 17h40 in Chicago) stepped down after the bad results of the elections for his party, the republican party. He had done this with Neptune inconjunct Sun, SunArc Neptunus semi square Moon and Progressed Moon opposed to the ascendant. This was right after Saturn and Pluto were in conflict with his ascendant. Though Moon and Jupiter of G.W. Bush (6th July 1946, 7h26 EDT New Haven) are conjunct Rumsfelds' natal MC, there was also Uranus of mr. President right on top of the MC of mr. Rumsfeld. And so times changed... George W. Bush had both Saturn and Pluto trine his natal MC now. a perfect statement of the stars for being the 'last man standing', 'a die hard' and for maintaining the status quo (for himself) after a hard confrontation.
Hillary Clinton (26th October 1947, 20h Chicago) has a solar transit square Pluto these days. It is interesting to see that in her progressed chart the midpoint Saturn/Pluto is on the ascendant. The same combination for hard confrontations...
Added 12th November 2006: In The New Yorker there is an article about a former friend of Rumsfeld discussing the disruption of his carreer. Neptune makes him seem 'lost' and beyond reality these days...He seems confused, and that is what Neptune does...confuse a person.
5th November 2006
BÜLENT ECEVIT
Born 28th of May 1925 in Istanbul, time unknown: Bülent Ecevit, once prime minister of Turkey, died today with:
Transit Saturn conjunct Sun, transit Pluto trine Sun, transit Mars conjunct Saturn on a Sun trine natal Pluto day.
As you may know, Saturn in the chart of aged people often means a step back in health and sometimes death. Pluto refers to transformation processes, such as death. In this case: an easy passing (mentioned twice). Mars conjunct Saturn is known as the aspect and midpoint of death (limitations of energy, restrictions of activity).
In his birth chart Uranus is oriental and peregrine: he was ahead of his time or ...a reformer.
DANIEL ORTEGA
Born on the 11th November 1945 in La Libertad, was president of Nicaragua from 1985 to 1990 and probably will be president again this year, polls say. In 1967 he became the leader of a revolutionairy guerilla group (Sandinisats, btw, his Mars is semi square Uranus...) and shortly after that he was arrested for bank robbery. From 1967 to 1974 he was imprisoned. It was not the first time. At age 15 he was arrested already... According to his supporters Daniel Ortega changed a lot since his last presidency and he learned from that.
In his birth chart we see Jupiter oriental (for being an international and a Sun without aspect (this is called: peregrine!) that makes him a leading figure (at any possible level).
There are 5 succes indicating midpoints even without HOB and on Aries Point there are: Sun/Pluto, Mercury/Jupiter and Jupiter/Uranus.
At the time of the elections now connections between Pluto and Saturn indicate a hard confrontation taking place. (T Pluto is inconjunct Saturn, and SunArc Saturn is semi square Pluto). Transit Uranus is inconjunct Progressed Pluto and T Pluto is inconjunct progressed Mars (revolutionairy change, defence or the use and abuse of power). That does not 'sound' like the transits of a happy winner, more like a hard and dangerous battle. Only the aspect of Uranus sesquisquare progressed Jupiter is rather positive, a relief or a surprising succes. A pity there is no birth time available to see how the MC is aspected.
Daniel Ortega will be supported by Hugo Chavez (28th July 1954, 2h30 a.m. Sabaneta). His Saturn is on the Uranus of Chavez and his Uranus is on the Ascendant of Chavez, so maybe there will be some surprise waiting for Chavez and Daniel Ortega really changed...
4 November 2006 DONALD RUMSFELD
Just before the elections navy newspapers demand the resignation of the present USA minister of defense, Donald Rumsfeld (born 9th July 1923 at 17h40 in Chicago). Neptune is the planet of the media and the scandals... Donald Rumsfeld has now Neptune inconjunct the natal Sun and both Saturn and Pluto have recently aspected the natal Ascendant. SunArc Neptune (ruler of the progressed Ascendant) is about to semi square the Moon. And the progressed Moon is about to oppose to the ascendant. OK, but will he? Moon and Jupiter of the president reside on Rumsfelds' natal MC. But Uranus of mr. president is right on top of the MC of mr. Rumsfeld. So, let us wait and see ...
TED HAGGARD
Pastor Ted Haggard was the president of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals (NAE), the largest evangelical group in America. He is a conservative and was born 27th June 1956 in Indiana, USA. He is known for taking the bible litteraly. He is married and is against practising homo-sexuality but now a homo-sexual prostitute accuses him of having sex with him using amphetamine. Ted Haggard said he never had sex with that man and he bought but did not use the drugs...
This scandal occurs to him with transit Saturn conjunct the progressed Sun, a perfect symbol for stepping down. In his natal chart the Sun is peregrine. Mars is sesquisquare Neptune (dispositor of Mars), Venus is inconjunct Saturn.
There are many sex scandals with religious workers concerned in the USA. Another one was:
TERRY HORNBUCKLE
Pastor Terry Hornbuckle (Agape Christian Fellowship) raped at least 2 members of his church and was found guilty and fired in 2006. He was born 2nd February 1962 in Grapevine. His chart shows an apparent wrong idea about romance and females as well as an exploding nature.
In his chart: oriental Venus square Neptune and Mars inconjunct Uranus ruler of almost all of his planets. Mercury and Jupiter oppose to the Northern Node. That day there were 6 planets in Aquarius, most of them square Neptune in Scorpio. Mars is inconjunct Uranus and the oriental Venus square Neptune are the most narrow aspects. These aspects are related to Aries Point. Uranus is dispositor of most of his natal chart. Neptune disposes of his progressed Sun, Mercury and Mars.
2005/2006: Neptune has transitted over his natal Sun and now the progressed Sun is to sesquisquare Neptune. Neptune hardly moved in progression (almost stationairy). All this shows an affair, a scandal and shame at this moment, even without an HOB. There is much more in this chart, for you to discover...
3 November 2006
BRAD PITT/ANGELINA JOLIE
Special security for the most beautiful couple in the world: Brad Pitt (18th December 1963 at 6h31 in Shawnee) and Angelina Jolie (4th June 1975 9h09 LA). They are making a movie in India about an American reporter who was captured by militants from Pakistan. That is the reason Al Quaeda wants to kill them! Pluto, the planet of danger and challenge AND of guards. Pluto is present in both of the charts.
Pluto is semi square the progressed Sun and almost conjunct the natal Sun of Brad Pitt. Pluto is trine the progressed ascendant of Angelina Jolie (she has Saturn conjunct the progressed ascendant right now). That looks like more danger for Brad. Brad Pitt has Pluto (together with Uranus) square the natal ascendant and that is a signal for dangerous adventures. There are various midpoint combinations with Mars indicating danger as well, a.o. Pluto sesquisquare Mars/Saturn and Sun semi square both Mars/Uranus and Mars/Pluto. Good to know that someone is watching over them. And to know that often in the charts of actors you see the characters they are playing...
2 November 2006
JOHN KERRY
John Kerry was in the news for making the wrong kind of joke about American soldiers in Irak, with a Sun transit square Pluto and sesquisquare Saturn and Uranus square to both Natal and progressed Mars. That wrong joke is not really surprising. He has Mercury square Neptune oriental, making it easy to say (Mercury) the wrong (Neptune) things. He also has Mars in Gemini, retrograde. When afflicted this position tends towards brutality and rudeness. He shares this position of Mars in Gemini with Tony Blair and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
John Kerry was born the 11th December 1943 in Denver at possibly 8h03 a.m. His progressed Mars has recently returned to the natal position and that is often a turning point in life.
30th October 2006
LULA DA SILVA
Brasil's president Lula da Silva (born 27th October 1945) has been reelected. If anyone made a carreer...He only learned how to read at age 10 and lost a finger as a worker in a factory at age 21. When he became the president of Brasil for the first time strange enough, that was in the year his progressed Sun trined the Mars-Saturn conjunction. It was also on his 47th birthday and that day Transit Uranus was inconjunct the Mars-Saturn conjunction....Birth time is unknown, unfortunately but it is clear that the most narrow aspect in his chart is that of Mars conjunct Saturn! And right now transit Pluto is inconjunct Mars and Saturn. It is rather peculiar to have such aspects when you are winning elections! It is almost as if he is in danger every time. Maybe in this case it indicates the nature of the elecional battle: a hard one, I suppose.
The Sun Arc positions for his re-election include all of his most imporant planets.
SunArc Pluto is conjunct Jupiter (the oriental planet),
SA Saturn (dispositor of the progressed Sun) is semi sextile Pluto soon (Pluto is dispositor of his natal Sun)
This combination of important planets in Da Silva's chart do not only mark an important moment in life. It is also telling us there is a great success and he gained respect as a 'die hard'...
BTW In the solar return chart of this year Mercury is conjunct Jupiter and square Saturn and semi sextile Pluto, a combination for a succesfull strategy!
28th October 2006
JAN PRONK
Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of Mission in Sudan is Dutchman Jan Pronk (born 16th March 1940 at 11h55 a.m. in The Hague). When the mission began Transit Pluto squared his natal Sun: it was a dangerous challenge. Before end of this year he will be dismissed with progressed Sun sextile Pluto. (Often the samen planets make different combinations in different stades of a project or a life). He was in the news this week because Khartoum wanted him to leave the country after Pronk told the world in his weblog that the government army had been defeated a few times by the rebels in Sudan.
This is his chart. You see Mars in a tight conjunction with Uranus, the aspect of the 'exploding nature'. Mars is also quintile Pluto. That makes a radical and dangerous combination as you may read in the articles you find under the links.
The oriental Neptunue opposes Sun and MC. That marks the ethical or ideological person who wants to realise his dreams. And Jupiter is peregrine on top! for the international. The combinaton of Neptune and Jupiter refers to having a conviction.
27th October 2006
RE: ORHAN PAMUK
On the 12th October 2006 I wrote this:
ORHAN PAMUK
Orhan Pamuk was born in Istanbul on the 7th june 1952. Today it was known that he will receive the Nobel Prize of literature. See the chart for the positions of the day of his birth. As allways with authors you start looking for the positions of Mercury and Jupiter. On his birthday Jupiter is oriental and Mercury is in Gemini, strong in own sign. Mars is peregrine. The prominent Mars and Jupiter are involved with the progressions of this year:
Progressed Sun square natal Jupiter and Sun Arc Jupiter trine Mars. There is a progressive aspect of Venus conjunct Pluto (the price/prize of or for art: money!)
Today Transit Neptune trines the Sun and Transit Uranus square Venus offers a nice surprise.
!Jupiter oriental is indicating the importance of publications and international contacts. Mars peregrine and sesquiquadrate Sun and Mercury is indicating verbal struggle (discussions). Orhan Pamuk is contraversial. He has been arrested in 2005. You see this aspect of his life in the radical combinations Uranus/Pluto makes with Sun, Mercury and Venus.
Now thanks to Nilgün the hour of birth of mr. Pamuk can be estimated at shortly after midnight (biraz sonra, as he mentions in his autobiographic book 'Istanbul, Memories and the City'. That time of birth gives him a peregrine Moon in Scorpio in the 9th house, Jupiter will be ruling the MC and Mercury will be on the end of the vocational routing. All very appropiate for an international writer. That chart is also illustrative for his problems!
In the meantime AstroDatabank mentions 5 a.m. with an A reference, they heard this from a friend of his who remembers this. I think his autobiography is more AA...
Link to original Turkish text about birth time of Pamuk that says in Turkish:"7 Haziran 1952’de, gece yarısından biraz sonra İstanbul’da, Moda’da küçük bir özel hastanede doğdum". According to two native Turkish speakers this means that he is born between midnight and half past midnight on the 7th of June of 1952.
24th October 2006
PAUL MCCARTNEY AND HEATHER MILLS (again) Below the picutre is what I wrote in August. Now I must add that Paul has transit Pluto right on the MC at the moment that his former wife is accusing him of abuse. I do not wish to speculate about that accusation. Your can see the chart below. Pluto on the MC by transit is making life difficult enough...
Here is the chart of McCartney (18th June 1942 Liverpool, possibly at 2 p.m., I also saw 00h30 once) with the positions of Heather Mills (12th Januray 1968, Aldershot, acc. to Wikipedia) wrapped around. The most narrow aspects between the two are their Mars inconjunct . That is not very favourable for working together or for sex, though their is the trine her Mars makes with his Jupiter: reproduction, a child. Mars inconjunct Mars in synastry can lead to a struggle (example in the world of sports: Marco van Basten and Ruud van Nistelrooij).
Her Jupiter squares his Saturn (did not she say she would never marry a pensionado again?) and her Neptune is inconjunct his Sun (disappointment). His Venus trines her Sun and his Moon trines her Venus, so that will be the atractive part of this relationship. His Saturn and Northern Node are sesquiquadreate her natal Sun, and that is not making a partnership grow.
In 1999 when they met Paul had the Moon trine Venus (a need for love and a partner, being easily fullfilled) and in 2002 his progressed Moon trined his natal Sun (he married her). But now in 2006 progressed Venus is conjunct Pluto and progressed Moon is inconjunct Venus and sesquisquare Pluto. Also Saturn is coming close to his Moon. It is obvious that there is a problem (Pluto) with a lover (Venus) and that this hurts his feelings (Moon aspects). Apart from that Transit Saturn is sesquiquadrate the ascendant (for 2 p.m.)
Heather Mills and Paul McCartney share a Sun-Jupiter aspect. They were both optimistic and ready to be happy and grow together. But in their composite chart Venus is afflicted by Uranus and Pluto. And Uranus and Pluto of Heather Mills are both near the Neptune on the ascendant of Paul, as to fullfil the prophecy. Of course there is more to see, for example in their natal charts.
Heather had Sun square Neptune in 2002 (when they got married) and her Neptune is inconjunct his Sun. This might mean she does not see him in the right light or that she puts him in the wrong light....At the moment the progressed Sun is moving from Aquarius to Pisces. When the sunsign changes in progress, life changes and I have seen more than one example of a divorce as a way to make a complete change. Also Uranus is square to her natal Venus.
For those who like to keep it simple and look at signs: his Sun is in Gemini, hers in Capricorn (no easy combination). His Venus is strong in Taurus, hers is in Sagittarius (another inconjunct between signs, but both loving material growth). His Mars in Leo and hers in Pisces is the most uneasy combination as the aspect is exactly inconjunct.
There is a real battle about money going on now. Heather has a Sun trine Pluto, an aspect for those who survive and dare. And yes, she dared asking one quarter of Pauls'money, when he offered her 30 million pound...
19th October 2006 ROD STEWART
He is number 1 on the American Billboard album list with 'Still the same' and I personally think he deserves it!
Rod Stewart was born 10th of January 1945 at 011700 GMT in London. In his chart Mars is ahead of the peregrine Sun (for being sexy and drawing attention, I suppose:) and both are in the housse of communications. Venus is in Pisces square to Uranus (more artist have such an aspect). Now that he is number 1 again the Sun transits right over his ascendant in the 27th degree of Libra, as you can see here below...:)
JOHANN LEPRICH
He was born 7th July 1925, Johann Leprich, and in 1943 (age 18) he became a guard in a Nazi camp (Mauthausen). He entered the US illegally in 1952 and was legalised in 1958 on false grounds. He was arrested 1st of July of 2003, when the progressed Sun changed sign (and life!). He had been hiding since 1987 and was on the list of 'America's most wanted' since 1997. He was married, had children, a nice vegatable garden and neighbours liked him (that is a common story with Nazi's on the run, it seems:). But it was not just a sin of a young man! His Sun is exactly conjunct Pluto and that is combined with Mars exactly square Saturn for being a fanatic and someone hitting hard. Neptune is peregrine. Fantasy, idealism and ideology at any level will be important in this life. Neptune also disposes of the hidden things and persons...Now that no country wants the man he is placed under electronical surveillance. This happens with Transit Pluto square progressed Mercury and progressed Sun sextile Mercury. It seems Mercury is important in his chart.
October 16, 2006
MARK FOLEY
On the 8th of October I wrote this about Mark Foley:
Republican Mark Foley, born 8th of September 1954, is involved in a sex scandal. He adressed email to young boys. Very indicative is that the progressed Sun of Mark Foley is in the 7th degree of Scorpio. And the progressed Mars (planet of sex and work) is in the 7th degree of Aquarius. That makes a perfect square and squares force you to act. He did, he resigned. Sun square Mars in progression often makes you promote yourself in a negative way...
Now Astrodatabank provided his time of birth: 4h55 a.m. and born in Needham, MA. Here you see his chart with some notes I made:
You see Venus in between Saturn and Neptune. And that is not a good position for love. Please notice the political Mercury=Saturn/Pluto midpoint combination - on Aries Point - (just like with the presidents I studied, and he also has a Moon-Jupiter aspect like more politicians have...). Pluto is oriental, another statement for politics (knowing the right people, money, power and influence) and that Pluto is the end dispositor of the vocational routing. Pluto is also square the MidHeaven and Mars is sesquiquadrate the MC: use and abuse of power and influence! The Moon trine the MC correlates with the influence of his family and female family members in his profession. Pluto is the key to Mark Foley, being placed on the ascendant, very prominent. And Pluto was on top of the Solar Return Chart for 2006, announcing a revolution. Why? Because at the same time Uranus was on the ascendant of the Solar Return. Uranus and Pluto combination are often seen in cases of major changes in life (f.ex. arrest, moving out of a country, a divorce that cost you money etc.). You see that knowing the time of birth makes a major difference as well...:), The progressed Sun square Mars is now square Mars in the 5th house of ...being a playboy.
NICOLE KIDMAN
Nicole Kidman is not just famous for marriage or movies. She is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations as well. And her chart is very clear about that...
You see that the Sun is end dispositor of the MC-vocational- routing: Leo MC. Sun. Mercury. Moon (narrow trine with Venus on MC and Aries Point!for being beautiful and/or diplomatic. Together: sense of arts or beauty related to the profession). Jupiter (on Sun/Moon). back to Sun on Aries Point and peregrine! See that Saturn is oriental in the 5th Leo/Sun house...
It says: show, attention and leadership at any possible level. In heart and soul an international or a publisher, above all a diplomatic estetic person (someone with good taste) and first of all: serious, concentrated, a business woman, someone with responsibilities.
Where is the movie? Watch the dispositor of the fifth house (the natural house of Sun and Leo)! It is Neptune in the first house and in a creative biquintile with the end dispositor of the vocational routing: the Sun!
Nicole Kidman was born 20th of June of 1967 at 15h15 in Honolulu
15th October 2006
SACHA BARON COHEN
Sacha Baron Cohen: we know him as Ali G. and recently as Borat. This comedian was born 13th October 1971 in Staines (UK) and sure knows how to attract attention and cause sensation. No surprise for an astrologer: Sacha has Uranus oriental and Pluto on Aries Point. See the picture below. That combination makes him revolutionairy or causing sensation. Because Mars is disposed by Uranus and this planet is square to Saturn in progression this year, maybe he must take care a bit more this year...
13th October 2006
SEAN CONNERY
Sean Connery (born 25th August 1930 in Edinburgh at 18h05) has been honoured. He received a prize for all his works on the day that transit Sun was square progressed Jupiter and natal Pluto (a combination for success!). Jupiter trined the progressed Jupiter and Pluto (second combination for success) and Saturn trined the progressed Northern Node (getting respect). OK, there is a Neptune transit square his progressed Sun too, but that Neptune transit was trining Venus on the 13th of October.
12th October 2006
ORHAN PAMUK
Orhan Pamuk was born in Istanbul on the 7th june 1952. Today it was known that he will receive the Nobel Prize of literature. See the chart for the positions of the day of his birth. As allways with authors you start looking for the positions of Mercury and Jupiter. On his birthday Jupiter is oriental and Mercury is in Gemini, strong in own sign. Mars is peregrine. The prominent Mars and Jupiter are involved with the progressions of this year:
Progressed Sun square natal Jupiter and Sun Arc Jupiter trine Mars. There is a progressive aspect of Venus conjunct Pluto (the price/prize of or for art: money!)
Today Transit Neptune trines the Sun and Transit Uranus square Venus offers a nice surprise.
!Jupiter oriental is indicating the importance of publications and international contacts. Mars peregrine and sesquiquadrate Sun and Mercury is indicating verbal struggle (discussions). Orhan Pamuk is contraversial. He has been arrested in 2005. You see this aspect of his life in the radical combinations Uranus/Pluto makes with Sun, Mercury and Venus.
11th October 2006 CORY LIDLE
The plane crash on 11th October 2006 happened to NY pitcher Cory Lidle (born 22nd March 1972 Hollywood) with the present position of Neptune on the ascendant of the moment of the accident, afflicting Venus (planet of fun and love) and semi square his natal Sun. Of coursse an hour of birth would give us more information and the ascendant in cases of accidents is of the utmost importance. We do not know the ascendant now. It was in a succesfull year for him as the progressed Sun trines Jupiter and offers opportunities for travelling and growth. At the same time the Sun was biquintile Pluto. This is a succes combination. Transit Neptune semi square the Sun however debiliates and confuses. Neptune on the ascendant of the moment of the crash tells us about the confusion the accident caused. Indications of accidents in his natal chart without hour of birth:
- Mars/Neptune (energy missing) combined with Mercury (transport and communication), Saturn (for failure) and Uranus for accident and aviation.
- Mercury opposed to Uranus and semi square Saturn can be read as avant garde transportation that is blocked.
- Mars conjunct Saturn and trine Pluto is for a winner in a hard sport. But Mars conjunct Saturn also indicates the change of being damaged and wounded.
- Pluto oriental opposed to Saturn/Node: dying together.
MARK DAVID CHAPMAN
He is not free yet, Mark David Chapman, murderer of John Lennon on 8th December 1980. His chart turned out as a catastrophe, maybe due to circumstances in the environment or family issues were involved.
He was born 10th May 1955 19h30 in Fort Worth. He was an addict (Neptune aspected Sun/Moon), a fanatic (Pluto on top square Sun), emotionally out of control (Moon peregrine and oriental) and he managed to meet a lot of resistance (Pluto square ascendant and dispositor of the ascendant). Apart from that he was restricted by others (Sun opposed to Saturn in the 12th, a construction seen more often in cases of fysical limitations of any kind, sometimes imprisonment). It is to be seen that he lacked opportunities in life. The MidHeaven is ruled by a peregrine - not aspected- Mercury in Gemini in the 7th house of marriage and relations and there is no aspect to the MC. Gemini is the sign for imitations. He even married a woman who looked like Yoko Ono!

MARK FOLEY
Republican Mark Foley, born 8th of September 1954, is involved in a sex scandal. He adressed email to young boys. Very indicative is that the progressed Sun of Mark Foley is in the 7th degree of Scorpio. And the progressed Mars (planet of sex and work) is in the 7th degree of Aquarius. That makes a perfect square and squares force you to act. He did, he resigned. Sun square Mars in progression often makes you promote yourself in a negative way...

MOHAMMED ATTA
A tape recording dated January 8, 2000 has come into the hands of CNN. Mohammed Atta is on the tape laughing, joking and later making a serious statement lipreaders havenot been able to decipher yet (there is no sound). It is obvious they are related to Al Quida and Osama Bin Laden and it might stop the rumours and gossips around 09/11 (see the special about the attacks on the Twin Towers).
Mohammed Atta was born September 1, 1968 in Cairo with Mars oriental and peregrine in a chart that lacks the element of air and has the Sun conjunct the midpoint Mars/Uranus. This is indicating a realistic, practical person you cannot reasonn with, who is prominently agressive and cannot control his anger.
In the year 2000 he had progrerssed Sun semi quare progressed Neptune and in 2001 progressed Mars was sesquiquadrate Saturn, ruled by the important and drifting planet of agression and war.
Now that the tape has been found Transit Neptune (18th degree of Aquarius now) opposes his natal Mars in the 18th degree of Leo and Transit Uranus (in the 12th degree of Pisces) opposes his progressed Mars (progressed to the 12th degree of Virgo).
DAVID RAY GRIFFIN (8th August 1939 Santa Barbara) will not be happy with this discovery. Should Transit Saturn square his natal Uranus be the indication for that, I wonder? GEORGE W. BUSH (6th July 1946,7h26 a.m. New Haven) seems to profit as Transit Pluto is making a perfect trine with the Midheaven (MC).

RICHARD HAMMOND
Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond got seriously injuried due to a car crash when he did an attempt to break a record. He is born 19th December 1969 in Birmingham, a Sagittarius with a Sun square Pluto who happens to crash at the very moment that the Sun squares his (as every year 3 times) and the ascendant semi squares his natal Sun (as every day...). Also transit Mars was on his Uranus (happens once and a while). But 3 is a crowd, apparently. Sorry I do not have his HOB for his ascendant and it is the ascendant that is the most important in cases of accidents. The event took place at 20th September 17h45 near York. Below you see the chart of the event, surrounded by the natal positions of Richard Hammond. Next year Transit Pluto will conjunct his Sun. And I hope that is for a come back!
Astromarkt provides a study about accidents based upon the data of Carter. There is no similairity (that I can find) of Hammond with these persons. He has Mars biquintile Uranus (and that is a combination for speedy actions). On the day of the accident Mars was conjunct his Uranus. There are afflictions with Jupiter (by Mars and Progressed Sun with progressed Jupiter). Jupiter is the symbol for succes and for horses, cars etc. All that Jupiter makes me hope that he will cure! Whoever knows more (HOB or indications) is invited to email me!
STING
In a German paper Sting said that Rock 'n Roll is dead and we should return to listen to classical music again. So I looked at his chart and saw Saturn oriental and conjunct the Sun, ruler 1. If that is not enough, I saw transit Saturn nearing Pluto. That is a generational aspect, but only to those who are not involved with generational trends. Apart from that the progressed Ascendant of Sting is about to conjunct Saturn and make a semi square to Pluto....eh...So in his natal chart Saturn is semi square to Pluto. Maybe that explains? Or would another reason be the fact that he stopped making pop himself? Sting was born 2nd of October of 1951 at 1h30 a.m. in Wallsend UK, according to Astrothème.

NAOMI ROBSON
Born in the USA on 4th December 1961 in California, now working for TV in Australia and with Transit Uranus square natal Sun it is better not to be in the news! She managed to cause a media incident around a 6 year old Indonesian boy that she wanted to 'save' from being eaten by the 'cannibals' of his tribe. And these cannibals do not eat human meat since... ages!

BB KING on tour!!!
Joined by Lucille, his guitar, BB King is on tour in Holland now and it is his 81st birthday. Why? Partly because he must. Pluto is square to his Sun and Pluto is often involved with forced come backs due to lack of money. He mentioned money lots in a recent interview. Another side of BB King is Venus biquintile Uranus (for the love of rythm and an explanation for his invitation to 'the ladies' to pay him a visit:). He has Mars oriental conjunct the Sun (a macho man, is not he?). His fitness at age 81 can be explaned. He has 50% of the planets in earth signs and in the article about the length of life and the influence of the element"s you can read that earth and air signs lengthen lifes.

BOB DYLAN
As Bob Dylan is back on top of the USA charts, here are two charts of him. Above is the progressed chart for today surrounded by the actual transits. Below is his natal chart. What they show is that Bob Dylan after a sort of forced come back (Pluto on the MC) now experiences a revival (Uranus on the ascendant often brings back something out of the past). His natal chart has a peregrine Venus ruler 10 that rules both Moon and Jupiter, oriental. If that is not enough to indicate his artistic successes the MC opposes Mars/Jupiter semi square the Sun. Also Jupiter/Pluto is on Zero Aries. An interesting chart to study!
6th September 2006
JAPANESE EMPEROR-TO-BE
This is the chart of the new baby born who is destined to be the future emperor of Japan. His gender make him more important than the eldest daughter of the present 'next emperor' and that theme is visual in the chart. Saturn is ahead of the Sun (oriental) with Venus: formalities and business before the females). Saturn is in the 10th house opposed to the conjunction of Moon and Neptune in the 4th equal house. Moon opposed to Saturn might indicate nasty memories of the early lifetime. There is another difficulty in this chart: Pluto is inconjunct the MC. That is saying that power, money, politics etc. influence his position in a difficult way. Finally: Venus (ruler 1) is peregrine and in the final degree of Leo. The Sabian symbol (Janduz) shows a man on horseback looking down at a trembling humble dog.
All in all the sort of chart that fits the Japanese court with the strict rules, conventions and hierarchy involved.
4th September 2006
STEVE IRWIN the Crocodile Hunter
A sting-ray ended the life of the adventurous Steve Irwin, the international famous Australian crocodile hunter. His Sun in Pisces (!) is opposed to the midpoint Uranus/Pluto while Jupiter is oriental (the international) with Mars (on Aries Point^, being active, a promotor). There is 70% of placements in fixed signs. This alone indicates a man who was determined to be succesful and live life dangerously. The midpoint yod of Sun with Uranus and Pluto is one of the signs that accidents might happen. There are of course more of these signs. Mars squares Saturn/Uranus (on Aries Point, remember...) and Uranus is squaring Mars/Pluto. There are also indictations of good luck in times of danger: Jupiter is square Sun/Mars and Mars/Uranus.
This year his luck was running out. Progressed Sun is sesquiquadrate the Uranus/Pluto yod connection (as if pointing at it again) and Progressed Mars semi squares Saturn. No doubt an hour of birth would bring more light in the man and his life and death. He was born 22nd February 1962 in Essendon, Australia.
4th September 2006
MITTERAND AND CHIRAC
Top politicians: they must be attractive to lots of women, as they both seem to have 'had' many mistresses next to their beloved wifes. They just did not divorce for political reasons. In the case of Mitterand it is told that he had a FEW mistresses with him on a journey to be able to select at the final moment of desire. It seems Chirac and Mitterand even shared the bed of the same woman (so maybe it is a club!:). All this is common knowledge now that a French journalist published a book about French politicians and their private lifes. As an astrologer I am not surprised and I tell you why not:
Francois Mitterand was born 26th October of 1916 at 4 GMT in Jarnac (France) with a 4th degree Libra ascendant and a Scorpio Sun. The Moon is peregrine (only squaring the Northern Node) and oriental in Libra in the first house. His Venus is involved (...:) in a biquintile with Uranus and a semi square with Neptune. A quintile with Mars produces a so called Golden Yod between Venus, Mars and Uranus in the fifth house of hobbies. A sort of a creative way to have sex adventures, that is one of the ways this sort of a combination works. His wife knew... Mitterand was a man with Pluto on top, afflicted, square the ascendant and in conflict with Mars. Use and abuse of (political) power and force might be one of the explanations of this combination. Sexual problems maybe too...
Jacques Chirac was born 29th of November 1932 at noon in Paris with the Sun and a peregrine Moon in Sagittarius and an Aquarian ascendant. In this chart Venus is oriental and square to Saturn (a hard marriage, conventions involved with love). Chirac has Pluto heavily afflicted, a.o. with Mars....
There are interesting similarities:
- Both have a peregrine (that means: not aspected) Moon: their emotions are not under control and so are their needs.
- Both have a female planet oriental (rising before the Sun): women first!
- Both have Jupiter exactly on the equal house 8 cusp: this certainly makes desire grow.
- Both have Mars involved with Neptune.
- Both have Mars afflicted with Pluto.
Venus of Chirac is very close to the Sun of Mitterand in the beginning of the fourth and in the third degree of Scorpio. So the shared a degree of the circle as they shared the bed of that special woman I am interested to see the chart of...

DIANA
Nine years ago princess Diana and her friend Dodi Al-Fayed died due to a car accident. Just like was the case with the car accident examples Carter gave in his book about the relationship of (progressed) charts and accidents Diana has Saturn square Pluto/Ascendant.
27th August 2006
MOTHER THERESA
She was born in 1910 in Skopje at 14:25 CET on a 27th of August, with Jupiter close to the MC, Neptune oriental and Mars peregrine and these three planets bound in a midpoint construction with Mercury on Aries Point. The Sun is connected to the midpoints Jupiter/Uranus and Jupiter/Neptune. This is apparently the chart of a religious person! Compare this with the charts of popes and monks and you will find the same structures.
25th August 2006
ASTROLOGERS CONSENSUS ABOUT PLUTO Reuters reports astrologers still see Pluto as a highflyer, exactly what I think of it and most of the opionions in astrological forums show. One of the better arguments in this article: the Moon is not a planet, but is also very important in charts!
24th August 2006
MOSHE KATSAV
Israelian president Moshe Katsav was born very poor in Yazd, Iran, 5th of December 1945 with Sun in 12/13th degree of Sagittarius and Saturn is at 24d08m46s Cancer. He has been accused of sexual molestation.
Uranus is often important when scandals are news and yes: Transit Uranus is now exactly square the Sun. Planet or not: Transit Pluto is inconjunct Saturn and lately many politicians are confronted with this combination of Saturn and Pluto (a boomerang for a die hard).
PS REOPENING STUDY ACCIDENT DIANA
In the study about the birth charts of the Carter accident charts I mention that Saturn is in aspect with the midpoint Pluto/Ascendant in both cases of car accidents and also.. in the case of Princess Diana (1st July 1961 Sandringham 19h45)

PLUTO TOO SMALL TO BE A PLANET?
Maybe in the eyes of the majority of astronomers on the congres that deciced today that Pluto is a dwarf planet and that there are only 8 (incl. earth) planets in our solar system. But not in the eyes of most of the modern western astrologers. (Traditional astrologers use to work with the 'visible' planets only). Those who ever read the study of Ken Gilmore, students that were ever confronted with transits or progressions of Pluto and those who have read the article about the effects of Venus and Pluto or Mars connected to Pluto will not be very surprised when I continue working with Pluto. Would it be coincidence that today Pluto in the 25th degree of Sagittarius ('the final of a wild party') squares the planet of communicatoins, Mercury?

WHITNEY HOUSTON/OSAMA BIN LADEN
A strange pair,yes, but the news brought them together. Today there was a newsitem about an ex 'sexslave' of Osama who claims Osama bin Laden is obsessed with Whitney and even planned the murder of her husband! Time to take a look at their charts and see if they would match...:)
Whitney is a Leo, Osama is a Pisces (rather difficult). Moon of Whitney is in Aries, the Moon of Osama could be in Cancer (not easy to live together, different habits). His Mercury opposes hers (communication problems). His Venus in exactly inconjunct hers (forget about her, Osama!) and then their Mars make a frustrating sesquiquadrate aspect. Her Pluto is opposite his Venus and Mercury and that might be an indication for fatal attraction.
Yes, opposits attrack! (
Whitney was born 9th of August 1963 and Osama possibly 10th March 1957.) You can check your match too...
GRIGORI PERELMAN
Grigori Perelman is a brillant Russian mathematician (born 13th June 1966) who is very shy. What astrological indications for the birht of a famous mathematician are there on his birthday?
Saturn is on Zero Aries, though still in the sign of Pisces and peregrine. Ruler of Pisces is Neptune, inconjunct the Sun. and there is also Venus (semi square Saturn, he is not married). And both make aspects to these midpoints: Sun/Mercury, Sun/Jupiter (succes combination), Mercury/Uranus (calculations, maths) and Mercury/Pluto (intense study). This is a clear astrological statement for a succesful mathematical researching scientist.
Sun inconjunct Neptune might indicate an unwordly and shy person.
21st August 2006
MADONNA
Madonna (born 16th Augustu 1958 in Bay City at 7:05 a.m.) has been accused of being provocative lately, more then ever before. Interesting to see how her Uranus is heading infront of the Sun (Uranus oriental) and square Mars. In her progressed chart this rebellious aspect has progressed to a creative quintile now.
DIANA/PHILIP
Another lover introduced himself (he lasted for 2,5 minutes), it is clear now that she was not pregnant when she died and the French will again investigate the circumstances of her death. British tabloids keep accusing Prins Philip (Diana's ex-father in law) for being the evil genius behind her death. Should this happen to him because of his Sun square Saturn, I wonder? Maybe you find more. These are the dates:
Diana was born 1 July 1961 in Sandringham at 19:45 and Prince Philip, duke of Edinburgh, was born on Corfu (Greece) 10th of June of 1921 at 21:46

GÜNTHER GRASS/LECH WALESA
Lech Walesa refuses to keep sharing the honorairy freedom of the city of Gdansk (former Danzig) with his fellow Nobel prize winner Günther Grass. Writer Grass informed the press last week about his membership of the SS (as a volunteer) in the later years of the Second World War. In the files is more about the progressions and transits of Grass during his anouncement. One of them is Transit Pluto sesquiquadrate natal MC (a frustrating difficult position). It seems Walesa is the one to make Grass' position more uneasy. His natal Pluto is on the MC of Grass.

AYAAN HIRSI ALI
Just before leaving Holland for her new life in the USA Ayaan Hirsi Ali warned The Netherlands for the danger of minister Verdonk, the woman that almost denied her her Dutch passport. At present Hirsi Ali has Neptune square Mercury and Transit Nodes oppose to her Pluto, but there is more going on. Rita Verdonk (born 18th October 1955 in Utrecht, 10h45 a.m.) has her progressed Mars in the 6th degree of Schorpio and that is exactly square to the Natal Mars of Hirsi Ali (born 13th November 1969 in Mogadishu). A Marsian conflict! The same sort of synergy aspects I found lately in the charts of:
- Marco van Basten and Ruud van Nistelrooy (coach and football player, Mars conjunct Mars, the coach does not want to work with the player anymore)
- Theo van Gogh and former friend Thom Hoffman (Mars opposed to Mars: Theo van Gogh used to tease Thom Hoffman after a conflict about money)
- Paul McCartney and Heather Mills (divorcing with conflicts)
JOHN MARK KARR
These are the natal positions of John Mark Karr, the man who confessed the murder of Jonbenet Ramsey. He was born 11th December 1964, possibly in Hamilton USA, no time of birth (so no known Ascendant, MC or Moon degree). Wikipedia gives lot of information about him, for example about his fake marriage to a 14-year old, the fact that he still had to appear before a judge for possession of child pornography etc. He was arrested in Thailand a few days ago and will be transported to the USA soon.
What you see in this chart is Mars conjunct Pluto. His supposed to be victim was born 6th August 1990 at 11:56 a.m. in Atlanta. Jonbenet had Mars opposed to Pluto. This is not the first time that I see a joined violent aspect in the chart of murderer and victim. (Read the article about shared aspects in relationships for more info...).
There is more info available about the aspect Mars-Pluto....

CLINT EASTWOOD
The 15th of August Clint Eastwood got a Golden Boot Award for his total works. Now Clint Eastwood (born 31st of May 1930 in San Fransisco) is used to being honoured and getting prizes, so it is not to be expected that there are lots of transits and progressions to accompany this event. For 'glory and honour' there are these indications only:
. transit Sun was exactly conjunct Progressed Sun
. the progressed Moon sextile Venus,
. transit Pluto is to oppose to Jupiter (perfecting the 28th).
This link leads you to more about solar transits.

PLUTO CAN STAY (a planet)
I think most astrologers will agree with the decission the astronomers conference made, that Pluto is a planet. They identified 12 satellites of the Sun. They are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon, Sedna/Xena and Ceres. Most astrology sites say Ceres is the symbol of mother earth and the placement of Ceres in your chart should indicate what you care about. At the moment Ceres is at 18degrees44minutes in Aquarius. Here is an interesting link to
the site of David Darling with images of size and position of Ceres, the possible new planet or pluton.
ALFREDO STROESSNER
Alfredo Stroessner died today. He was born 3rd November 1912 in Encarnación (Paraguay) and ruled this country as a dictator for 35 years, as from 1954. He has Sun in Scorpio conjunct Mars and Pluto (dispositor of Scorpio) is right on Zero Ariesin a Yod with Mercury and Uranus (Pluto inconjunct Mercury and inconjunct Uranus related to Zero Aries). Pluto is the planet of influence, power and politics.
Now transit Saturn opposes the progressed Sun (health condition is poor) and transit Jupiter joins the conjunction of natal Sun and Mars, stating that sometimes it is better to pass away.Mostly Jupiter in the charts of people dying means a doctor or other kinds of support.

INGRID BETANCOURT
Planet Internet (www.wxs.nl) has an item about the Colombian candidate for presidency that was kidnapped over four years ago: Ingrid Bétancourt. She is born 25th December 1961 in Bogotá at 14h15 (according to Astrotheme.fr).
What is in her natal chart?
She is realistic, earthbound, ambitious and aware of status with Saturn peregrine and strong in own sign of Capricorn. She also has the combination of Sun Capricorn and Moon Leo. She is a warrior (Mars is oriental). She mentioned once that her children are proud that she is doing this, this fight against drug criminals.
Mars, Saturn and Uranus combinations : liberty robbed!
There is a triple midpoint combination of Mars, Saturn and Uranus. And Mars in Capricorn is trining Uranus. Being robbed of your freedom and liberty is one of the interpretations Ebertin gives (in Combination of Stellar Influences) and it seems to me that it fits! You could also see this combination as: disadvantages of a radical way of doing things.
Radical living
Ingrid Bétancourt did not choose an easy family life with children and a dear husband. She was a member of parliament and a candidate for presidency in Colombia. The fact that this had a negative influence on her private life is seen in the aspects of the Moon square Neptune and opposed to the MC. Her vocational routing is through Aquarius (making the world a better place). Uranus. Mercury. Saturn*. What has politics got to do with this? Pluto trines Mercury. The combination Mercury, Saturn, Pluto is often seen with politicians (strategic minds, like the USA presidents).
There is a stellium in this chart of Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars in the eight house of crises, life and death. And in her fourth equal house Moon is there with Uranus and Pluto, the radicals. She was born in Columbia, emigrated (to Paris) and came back. Uranus and Pluto in 9 or 4 indicate radical changes and often come backs.
Nobody knows how she is now: Neptune!
Neptune on the descendant for disappearance, idealism, ideology and …drugs. All Neptune related items are prominent in this chart, due to others (descendant!).
Kidnapping: the progressed chart
At the time of her disappearance, 22nd February 2002, transit Pluto squared progressed MC and transit Jupiter ruler 8 was inconjunct the natal Midheaven. This happened right after a transit of Neptune across Saturn and MC and just before Neptune was to join Jupiter.
Meanwhile the progressed Sun is getting closer to a crucial conjunction with progressed Jupiter. Normally this is a prosperous aspect. But in this chart Jupiter rules the 8th house of life and death. That is why in this case the Sun conjunct Jupiter progressive aspect (perfecting in November 2006) might even mean the announcement of her death. Jupiter is the planet for publications and up to now it were problems that made her a world wide celebrity.
13th August 2006
FIDEL CASTRO
Today is his birthday, but is it the 80st birthday? There is a lot of confusion about the birth data of Fidel. 1926 or 1927? What place? 1 p.m., 4:44 a.m. etc. etc. That is why I cannot produce his chart, though I do like the one of 13th August 1927 at 2 a.m. in Biran.
PAUL MCCARTNEY AND HEATHER MILLS
Here is the chart of McCartney (18th June 1942 Liverpool, possibly at 2 p.m., I also saw 00h30 once) with the positions of Heather Mills (12th Januray 1968, Aldershot, acc. to Wikipedia) wrapped around. The most narrow aspects between the two are their Mars inconjunct . That is not very favourable for working together or for sex, though their is the trine her Mars makes with his Jupiter: reproduction, a child. Mars inconjunct Mars in synastry can lead to a struggle (example in the world of sports: Marco van Basten and Ruud van Nistelrooij). Her Jupiter squares his Saturn (did not she say she would never marry a pensionado again?) and her Neptune is inconjunct his Sun (disappointment). His Venus trines her Sun and his Moon trines her Venus, so that will be the atractive part of this relationship. His Saturn and Northern Node are sesquiquadreate her natal Sun, and that is not making a partnership grow.
In 1999 when they met Paul had the Moon trine Venus (a need for love and a partner, being easily fullfilled) and in 2002 his progressed Moon trined his natal Sun (he married her). But now in 2006 progressed Venus is conjunct Pluto and progressed Moon is inconjunct Venus and sesquiquadrate Pluto. Also Saturn is coming close to his Moon. It is obvious that there is a problem (Pluto) with a lover (Venus) and that this hurts his feelings (Moon aspects). Apart from that Transit Saturn is sesquiquadrate the ascendant (for 2 p.m.)
Heather Mills and Paul McCartney share a Sun-Jupiter aspect. They were both optimistic and ready to be happy and grow together. But in their composite chart Venus is afflicted by Uranus and Pluto. And Uranus and Pluto of Heather Mills are both near the Neptune on the ascendant of Paul, as to fullfil the prophecy. Of course there is more to see, for example in their natal charts.
Heather had Sun square Neptune in 2002 (when they got married) and her Neptune is inconjunct his Sun. This might mean she does not see him in the right light or that she puts him in the wrong light....At the moment the progressed Sun is moving from Aquarius to Pisces. When the sunsign changes in progress, life changes and I have seen more than one example of a divorce as a way to make a complete change. Also Uranus is square to her natal Venus.
For those who like to keep it simple and look at signs: his Sun is in Gemini, hers in Capricorn (no easy combination). His Venus is strong in Taurus, hers is in Sagittarius (another inconjunct between signs, but both loving material growth). His Mars in Leo and hers in Pisces is the most uneasy combination as the aspect is exactly inconjunct.
There is a real battle about money going on now. Heather has a Sun trine Pluto, an aspect for those who survive and dare. And yes, she dared asking one quarter of Pauls'money, when he offered her 30 million pound...
12th August 2006
HASSAN NASRALLAH
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah (a hype now in Syria) was born 31st August 1960 in Libanon. The positions of that day are here below and are a perfect statement of the value of the oriental planets and the significance of Mars, Uranus and Pluto as indicators of a radical attitude. In his chart (whatever time born) Pluto is oriental (power, influence, money and politics first), followed by Uranus (rebel, making a change) and Mars (action, agression). Also Pluto semi squares the midpoint Mars/Uranus. The midpoint combination Mars/Saturn (cruelty and death) is at Aries Point the day he was born. More info, see these links: Mars and Pluto Mars and Uranus Zero Aries
HILLARY CLINTON
Daniel Edwards made a bust of Hillary Clinton (she did not pose for it) and this was unveiled in a sex museum. Hillary Clinton is born 26th of October 1947 in Chicago at 20h. In her natal chart Venus is square Saturn/Pluto. Today the progressed horizon (ascendant/descendant) is in the 18th degree of Leo/Aquarius. Neptune is in the 19th of Leo, Saturn in the 16th of Leo. Pluto is in the 15th and Venus in the 17th of Leo in the Natal chart. So transit Saturn (disposing Hillary's 8th house of life, death and ...sex) is sitting right at her Venus/Pluto midpoint. This combination is interpreted in COSI (Ebertin) as 'immorality'. You can see that a chart does not say 'who did it'.
OLMERT
The Israelan prime minister Olmert was born in Binyamina at September 30, 1945. Today, during an expanding invasion of the Libanon, his progressed positions show an interesting midpoint combination. Progressed Mars is about 3 degrees Leo (when born at 12 it would be 3d4m56s Leo). Progressed midpoint Saturn/Pluto is at 3d3m47 Leo. This exact and direct midpoint combination usually refers to murder, death and killings and that is what is taking place. As you can read in the article about Mars and Pluto, there is no astrological indication for the clue in a 'who done it'.Fact is that Ehud Olmert announced that the militairy actions will be intensified and that fits with the astrological statement. You can also read the combination as 'die hard' (Saturn/Pluto) fight (Mars).
In his natal chart there is a stellium in Libra of Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune, possibly indicating a mind and opinion based upon ideology or religion. There is more to read about Jupiter/Neptune in the charts of popes and the martyrs in Algeria.
11th August 2006
Günther GRASS
Nobel prize winner author, sculpturor Günther Grass volunteered for the Waffen-SS at age 15 and that is different from what he told before. Günther Grass was born 16th October 1927 in Dantzig at 7 a.m.. His natal Mid Heaven is in the sign of Leo. HIs vocational routing is Sun (conjunct Mars, the nature of a fighter). Venus. Mercury. Pluto. Moon* (inconjunct Saturn, nasty memories indicated this way). Neptune is peregrine (limitless fantasy and idealism).
Today there are many transits and progressions at work at the same time:
- transit Uranus in a narrow square with the ascendant (things of the past coming back in a stressful way)
- Pluto sesquiquadrate MC and Jupiter square MC: a succes combination (because there is already a lot of publicity about his soon to be released auto biography:)
- Transit Saturn square Mercury and sesquiquadrate Uranus for the disadvantages of communicating news.
- Progressed Moonn opposes Mercury. Others are causing the communication moment he does not really like.
GEORGE CLOONEY
George Clooney had a hard 2005. Today newspapers quote him saying he even considered suicide that year. What happened? His brother in law and grandma died. His dog was eaten by a snake. And he injured himself badly on stage, damaging the dura. Then he suffered from headaches and lacks of memory. They had to operate him several times.
His natal and progressive charts show these facts. 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. Later transit Neptune squared natal Sun and early 2006 Uranus passed the ascendant. Pluto is for the problemous condition/position and facts of life and death. Saturn for a bad condition or position. Neptune for giving up. Mars for pain and injury and Uranus for operations and nerves.
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 house as well.

ROBIN WILLIAMS
Robin Williams, born at 21st Julyi 1951 in Chicago Heigths, 13h34, is having a therapy against abuse of alcohol again. Uranus is the planet for news and for things that come up again from the past. Uranus is now squaring Robins' progressed ascendant. The combination Moonn biquintile Neptunus (creative pretending) comes back in the position of the Sun in Cancer (disposed by Moon) and Moon in Pisces (disposed by Neptune). This aspect squares Mars in Cancer (that is a position with more chance of abuse of alcohol than placement of Mars in other signs). Of course there is more, but Robin is also more than his addiction. The same aspect that indicates his need for acting and his ability to identify himself with the role he playes is the aspect that might lead to an addiciont. Moon-Neptune is without limits in more than 1 meaning of these words. But he also has 7 midpoint combinations indicating succes. His vocational routing is: Sun. Moon. Neptune. Venus. Mercury. Performing as an actor is a logical result for the combination of pretending (Moon-Neptune) and 'communication talents'(Mercury-Venus).
BRUCE WILLIS
Bruce Willis has a case against his former friend of childhood times, Bruce diMattia (who took care of his house once). This friend wanted 100.000 dollar or else...Bruce Willis (born 19th Mrach 1955 at 18h32 in Idar-Oberstein) has now Saturn exactly on his natal MC (feeling the disadvantages of a position) and Pluto (in his natal in the eleventh house of friendships) is inconjunct progressed Jupiter (ruling the 4th house of youth and past). An inconjunct indicates more than once a lost. In this case he loses a friend.
9th August 2006
NIXON
It is 32 years ago that Richard Nixon had to step down due to the Watergate Affair. There is an article about Nixon on Astromarkt. Nixon made his move when Jupiter was rigth on his descendant.
7th August 2006
JOB COHEN
The Amsterdam mayor Job Cohen has been nominated for the contest of 'best mayor in the world' at the time that transit Pluto is sextile natal Sun (political support: there are elections in november). He is rather controversial. Those who do not like him point at his manner of drinking tea with conflicting groups in difficult times instead of doing something. With the Moon in Sagittarius he is bound to act in a positive way, whatever happens. He is born 18th October 1947 with Mars afflicted (conjunct Pluto and semi square Uranus), Sun trine Uranus, Pluto in between Mars and Saturn and Neptune oriental. His 'softness' and idealism goes first...But behind that is a rather radical idealist who wants to make the world a better place. And with Jupiter peregrine (not making major aspects) he is now going international...
MARTHA STEWART
Today, t he Securities and Exchange Commission announced that there is a settlement in the case of insider trading against Martha Stewart. According to Noel Tyl's book 'Vocations' Martha Stewart (the USA life style guru, born 3rd August 1941 in Jersey City has an ascendant in the 11th degree of Scorpio and that is exactly where Jupiter (the helpful planet) is at this time.
VICTORIA BECKHAM
There is little left of Victoria Beckham due to an extreme diet, it seems. Her waist is of the same measure as that of a seven year old girl. That is not much for a mother. Could it be because Saturn is on Zero Aries in her chart and transit Saturn is now making a semi square? You can check for yourself: she was born 17th April 1974 in Harlow.
MARISKA HULSCHER
Not internationally famous, though having a peregrine Jupiter (...), is Dutch TV Babe Mariska Hulsker (studied laws, is new presenting programs on televisions and is ready for her 3rd marriage again!). She was born 8th March 1964 in Delft, Holland and married about 2 months ago. She divorced last week already. How can that be (astrologically)?
She has Venus in Taurus, Moon in Capricorn and a 'realistic business' Saturn ahead of the stellium of Sun, Mercury and Mars in Pisces (trining Neptune). That makes her a romantic idealistic person (though she keeps business in mind). She got an award for her job for Pink Ribbon. This Mariska has Jupiter in Aries peregrine in the 22nd degree (the degree of spilling energy and not taking care). Besides she has Mars (dispositor of the peregrine Jupiter) opposed to both Uranus and Pluto
On the Internet Mariska says having Sun in Pisces makes her do what she 'feels' ignoring all advices, but I would rather blame the badly aspected Mars in Pisces and the Peregrine Jupiter in the 22nd degree, specifically since Mars rules her progressed Sun.
The progressions 'did it'. She divorced in 2002 (P Mars inconjunct Pluto and semi square Saturn, P Sun semi square P Venus). Later progressed Sun semi squared natal Mars first and then natal Venus. Now P Mars is inconjunc tnatal Neptune and Uranus (by transit) is conjunct Mars and semi square Progressed Sun (to make it news...Uranus is always there where the news is). So there were astrological announcements. Knowing that she is a person that acts befor thinking and always is dreaming (Sun trine Neptune) and you can see why she could not resist the opportunities to make a change, get married and see that her decission was impulsive and wrong in such a short period of time. Progressed Sun is about to change sign (to Taurus) and that might make her more easy living in future.

HIROSHIMA
Above is the chart of 6 August 1945, 61 years ago, the moment the atomic bomb destroyed Hiroshima. (The article about this chart is in Dutch only.). Uranus (for shock, and for new) is on top on the MC of this chart.
3rd August 2006
MEL GIBSON AND HIS BEARD
A little surprised by the long grey beard of Mel Gibson (also read the messages below) I looked for an explanation in his chart and found one. His natal Sun in Capricorn (associated with the goat. and all the attributes...) is in exact oppostion with the Ascendant. Saturn (making older and making you sometimes - with aflliction - act based upon fears and restrictions - is sesquiquadrate the Ascendant. And Pluto is semi square the Ascendant. So all the planets taking part in the Sun-Saturn-Pluto combination for a 'die hard' are in hard aspect with the ascendant.
1st August 2006
MEL GIBSON, CHARLIE SHEEN AND THE COMPLOT THEORY OF 9/11
Mel Gibson is in a clinic now after being arrested drunk behind the wheel and later producing anti-semite texts he has apologised for. Pluto squares his natal MC at the moment (good for therapy!).
Together with Charlie Sheen he supports a movement in the USA that has a complot theorty about 9/11. Not the Arab intruders did 'it', it must have been CIA or even Israel. You might wonder what these two actors have in common to get the same sort of ideas and yes, there it is again (like in the older messages below): Saturn-Pluto!
Mel Gibson is born January 3, 1956 at 16:45 in Peekskill USA. He has Sun in Capricorn semi square Saturn and sesquiquadrate Pluto. Also Saturn squares Pluto. Fellow believer in conspiracy is Charlie Sheen, born 3rd September 1965 at 22:48 hour in New York (both of these data given by Astrotheme.fr). Charlie Sheen has Sun conjunct Pluto (and Uranus) opposed to Saturn and so Saturn is opposed to Pluto. In both cases there are midpoint combinations with Saturn and Pluto involved.
The actors share more, among which Mercury square Neptune (a misty mind and fantasy fighting facts). Maybe that is good for actors (they can imagine facts for their job), but not for conspiracy theories.They do share even more: Mel Gibson has Mars conjunct Saturn, Sheen has a trine. Mel G. has Venus quintile Saturn, Charlie Sheen has a biquintile. They also share the Moon tine Mercury.
Interesting to see is that Charlie Seen has a lot of midpoint combinations involving Jupiter and Neptune, the combination for actors, religions and mediums: success with the unseen or fictious.
Mel has Moon with Jupiter/Neptune and Jupiter with Moon/Neptune: fantasy unlimited and populair idol.
At the moment Charlie Sheen has Saturn inconjunct Saturn and Uranus opposed to Uranus and Uranus conjunct Saturn. Saturn is in top of his chart (above all a conservative!) but a radical as well (Sun with Uranus and Pluto), at the time being confronted with opponents and having a hard time in his position.
How to interprete the fact that they both have these strong connections of Sun, Saturn and Pluto? The tendency to stick to a point of view no matter what, and to seek the harder kind of confrontations might be something they share. Or maybe they are just afraid of authorities and the imagination does the rest?
In the mean time, those who believe that ‘Skull and Bones’ organised an ordeal to make a brave new world, are convinced that it was no coincidence that Mel Gibson was arrested even though he said he was wrong…
29th July 2006
PRINCESS DIANA
Today is was 25 years ago that Diana married Prince Charles. I think she will be in the news more often, for example on the 31st of August, when it will be 9 years since her death. Uranus is close tot the meridian and some news might be expected then if not constantly.... Here you see her chart:. She was born 1st July 1961 at 19h45 in Sandringham. Marriage was her single goal (Libra MC and Venus strong in Taurus, but afflicted) and divorce came to her (Saturn and Pluto were in conflict with the MC). Charles' Saturn was conjunct her natal and prominent Pluto in the degree of a Cinderella-syndrom. (As Janduz describes it it shows a couple tied together on the market watched by an aristocratic lady looking down at them, while on the background a shy and humble woman makes way for her). Pluto is oriental and on top of the chart, part of the small trine with Sun and Neptune and the pointing finger in the midpoint Yod with Venus and ascendant (describes the masses loving her) and is in the ninth house conjunct Mars and close to the Nodes and Uranus. Pluto is inconjunct the important Jupiter, dispositor of the 1st house. Pluto is the planet for money, power, and influence, sexuality and life and death...His Saturn conjunct her Pluto: they ended in a nasty divorce that hurt both. Diana has Venus/Jupiter and Venus/Neptune on Aries Point together with Mars/Saturn and that describes being known for a fairy tale marriage and for the way she died. As her ascendant lacks aspects she was in a way subjected to the influences and events instead and rather indirect in expressing herself. Of course there is more...Like for example the fact that the ruler of her MC, the strong Taurus Venus is in a degree between Algol and Capulus and that does not seem to be a sign for having good luck in love. Also Venus is afflicted by Uranus and ruler 1 and 7 are inconjunct...signs for divorcement....(there is a translation of the article in Dutch coming up this summer)
28th July 2006
MEL GIBSON
Mel Gibson was born 3rd of January of 1956 at 16h45 in Peekskill (according to Astrotheme.fr). and today he was arrested for driving to fast with too much alcohol consumed. His MC is in the 25th degree of Pisces and that is exactly square to transit Pluto today. It seems Mel Gibson is having Problems. What happens again and again these days is that famous people come in the news with Saturn-Pluto transits or progressions or that they have such aspects in their natal chart. Mel Gibson is a real 'die hard' too. He has the Sun semi square Saturn and sesquiquadrate Pluto but quintile also quintile Neptune.
27th July 2006 PRINCE LAURENT (BELGIUM) SHORT IN MONEY?
The Belgian Prince Laurent was born 19th October 1963 at 11h20 in Laken and receives a yearly allowence of about 300.000 euros. The funny thing is that if you follow Noel Tyls' vocational routing procedure for this chart, what you get is this:
MC in Libra.Venus (dispositor) in Scorpio. (sextile). Pluto in Virgo. Mercury in Libra, back to Venus...
If you like you can interprete that as 'transporting or communicating/trading with money'. The financial axis Venus-Pluto is there 3 times (and 3 is a rule in astrology!): 1. Venus in Scorpio (ruled by Pluto) 2. Venus sextile Pluto 3. Sun in Libra, Moon in Scorpio (ruled by Venus and Pluto).
FLOYD LANDIS and TESTOSTERON
Without an hour of birth there is only the prominent Mars on Aries Point in the 'opportunistic' 30st degree of Gemini (according to Janduz) and on the midponits Sun/Neptune and Jupiter/Nepune to be blamed for the results of the doping test for Floyd Landis. His Sun opposed to Jupiter says he wants succes and it IS a succes aspect, but in some cases the opposition might work out as not being honest. Landis has the natal Sun in aspect with Saturn/Pluto. Lately so many famous people experience the disadvantages of an investigation when they have a transit, a progression or a natal aspect that connect Saturn with Pluto.
It seems you cannot win such a heavy Tour de France without some help...Should the Tour become more 'human' now?
26th July 2006
GUUS HIDDINK
Famous football coach Guus Hiddink (coached Australia in the WC 2006) has been charged for tax fraud. There will be a trial on the 15th of September, when Jupiter is conjunct his Sun and the actual Sun trines his Jupiter. The announcement and the sometimes very nasty reactions of the public happens today when Saturns is EXACTLY conjunct his Pluto. This aspect keeps coming back. It is a frequent transits for those born between 45 and 55 this year, a generational aspect, that seems to have more effect for those with power and money. What happens is a hard confrontation about strict rules or mistakes being made. Gaining or losing respect is part of it. Below are his natal postions and transits. He is born 8th of November 1946 in Wisch (Netherlands). |
The Kaczynski brothers - twins and Gemini - rule over Poland as president and prime minister and they announced, 16 years after the revolutionairy change of regime, to purify Poland and get rid of the tens of thousands of people who spied during the communist period and are still active in gouvernment offices. There are critics who are afraid of a witch hunt and that is to be expected. Because Saturn is going to conjunct their natal Pluto and lately several politicians (mentioned on this site) were challenged to be very strict in the rules (and later had to go...:).
The brothers were born 18th of June 1949 in Warschow and are conservatives (Mercury is square Saturn). Ahead of the Sun are Mars and Mercury, so they might act (Mars) as they say (Mercury) or just speak with agression. This Mars however squares Saturn and that is often a sign for hard and brutal activity. Pluto is sesquiquadrate Zero Aries and soon Saturn will conjunct Pluto. A crucial moment to gain or loose respect. Transit Pluto will oppose to their Suns in December and in 2007: a forced change will be made then.
20th July 2006 MURAT KAPLAN
These are the natal positions of Murat Kaplan. This brutal Belgian 'top criminal' escaped several times already, but was allowed to have a weekend off from prison again when he .... escaped. But just like in the picture below (Daniel Baldwins'natal positions) you see Mars in between Uranus and Pluto and that might mean an arrest coming up, hopefully without damages. However, like with the Dutch criminal Holleeder (born 29th May 1958) Venus is on the midpoint Mars/Pluto. That is not uncommon with top sportsmen, too, but in the case of criminals unfortunately this midpoint combinations refers to the desire to use brutal force.
For more advanced students in astrology: It seems Murat Kaplan loves to be free. His Mars trines Uranus and so he keeps succeeding in escaping. Another interesting aspect is that Mars is walking ahead of the Sun, together with the 'supposed to be position' Vulcanus (using violence is the first thing that comes up) That Mars is making quindecile aspects with both Saturn and Neptune (the purple lines in the picture). Noel Tyl connects these aspects of 75, 105 and 165 degrees with obsessions. In this case obsessive violence and agression. Finally, Venus is on the midpoint Mars/Pluto, I said, and Venus is on Aries Point. You could interprete this as 'being known for being a good looking violent man
Other persons with Venus connected to Mars/Pluto are among others:
- Gerald Robinson (priest and murderer with Venus semi square Mars/Pluto.
- His victim: Venus conjunct Mars/Pluto.
- Croatian war criminal and general Ante Govina has Venus semi square Mars/Pluto.
- Joseph P. Smith, murderer and rapist of a 12 year old has Venus sesquiquadrate Mars/Pluto.
- Late football player George Best had Venus semi square Mars/Pluto.
- French coach Domenech: Venus square Mars/Pluto.
- Niccolo Machiavelli had Venus semi square Mars/Pluto.
- And so did Casanova... Venus square Mars/Pluto.. An enormous drive or potential to dominate, conquer or perform has to find an outlet. Long live sports!...
DANIEL BALDWIN
Daniel Baldwin is an actor (a.o. 'Touched by an angel'). He was born 5th October 1960 and recently he was arrested after damaging 2 parked cars while driving with a non valid license. Here you see the natal positions surrounded by transits. Uranus and Pluto are ahead of the Sun. Those planets together might indicate unexpected changes in life, such as arrests. Transit Mars is now in between Uranus and Pluto, coming closer to the midpoint Uranus/Pluto. And the actual midpoint Uranus/Pluto is sesquiquadrate natal Mercury. So in the same amount of time we already have Uranus/Pluto twice, without even knowing an hour of birth... Also Transit Saturn is inconjunct Saturn.
18th July 2006
PAMELA ANDERSON
Pamela Anderson is about to try it again with Kid Rock. She announced her marriage today. Pamela Anderson is born 1st July 1967 at 4h08 a.m. in Ladysmith. Right now Neptune is on her MC and about to oppose to natal Venus on the IC (being diplomatic, estethic or beautiful is part of the profession, this Venus tells us...).
Neptune is in her chart square Venus. That is a sign for a romantic person with disappointments in love (due to ideolizing the lover). Let's hope for the best...You can see the lucky event in the progressed MC that is about to make a sesquiquadrate aspect with natal Jupiter, dispositor of the seventh house of steady relationships and marriage.
TONY BLAIR
In Tony Blair's chart (see the drawing, this is the link) Mercury, planet of communicatons, squares the natal MC. Yesterday on open microphone made his conversation with George W. Bush very public during transit Mercury in the 27th degree of Cancer retrograde square his natal Mercury in the 27th of Aries and right opposed to his MC in the 27th of Capricorn. More serious is that the progressed Moon is still square natal Saturn, ruler 10. Depressing events and forced communications... George Bush only had Mercury conjunct natal Saturn...
16th July 2006
Late Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands (official birth date 29th June 1911 at 2h45 a.m. in Jena, but in reality - as he told himself - born a day earlier, on the 28th) was the original objective of the later kidnappers of Heineken (among which Willem Holleeder, who is now in prison waiting to be put on trial for the murder on various criminals such as Willem Endstra). You can see the natal chart under this link. Uranus of Willem Holleeder (born 29th May 1958) is between Nodes and MC of Bernhard. That is interesting, because as you can read here below, Valerie Plames objects of accusation are Cheney and Rove and her Uranus is involved with their chars.
Willem Holleeder (29th May 1958) is a cruel person. He is the son of an alcolholic former employee of Heineken and started his criminal business with beating up people who illegally lived in houses that were supposed to be destructed. The most narrow aspects in his chart are with the planet of agression: Mars. Mars squares Saturn and semi squares Uranus. Venus - planet of joy - is in the middle of Mars and Pluto and of Saturn and Pluto. This sort of combinations is often seen in the charts that involve the violent or unnatural death of either the native or his victime. Willem Hollleeder has been arrested when Uranus squared his natal Sun.
14th July 2006
VALERIE PLAME
Links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Plame
It is Plamegate! Valerie Plame was born 19th April 1963 in Anchorage (Alaska) and is a top spy for the CIA. That was reveiled, as she and her husband claim, as a punishment for the remarks her husband made about USA policy. She is fit for this job, her natal positions tell us. A brave Sun Aries and a discrete Moon in Pisces. Both dispositors (Mars and Neptune) square: a job that requires secret action or involve secrets. Also Neptune is on Aries Point, for being known as a secretive person, idealist or perhaps as a spy (and that was not the intention:)
Today she accused Dick Cheney (born 30th January 1941 in Lincoln at 19h30) and Karl Rove (born 25th December 1950 at 4h14 in Denver). Her Uranus is on Cheney’s ascendant and on Rove’s MC! Her Pluto in the 10th degree of Virgo (in a narrow semi square with the Nodes!) is on the ascendant of the father of George Bush (born 12th June 1924 at 10h38 EST in Milton, MA) and on the Mars of George W. Bush himself (born 6th July 1946 at 7h26 EDT in New Haven). It seems she sure has an impact!
Pluto semis square the Nodes is her most narrow aspect. It points at frustration (semi square) about problems (Pluto) you have because of a community or group (Nodes) or that you have to share with a group of people or a person.
Also notable is Jupiter oriental (before the Sun) and the fact that she signed a contract for a book already.
12th July 2006
ZIDANE/MATERAZZI
It is still not certain if FIFA allows Zinedine Zidane to keep the golden ball award. Here you see the charts of the man who kicked his head and the man who's chest was there to get kicked. Both are fanatics with Mars connected to both Saturn and Pluto (a little violence could be used). But Jupiter of Materazzi is on the MC of Zidane. Will it be: all is well that ends well? Let us hope so...

ALBERT EINSTEIN
Not a world news item, but...
Only today (they must have waited for ‘cucumber time’) it was made public in the Dutch papers that Albert Einstein had lots of lovers. A comparisson with charts of other famous ‘playboys’ I studied once, shows that he has a few things in common with them. Jupiter in the eighth house (33% of them has it), Venus sesquiquadrate Uranus is notorious for love affairs and Moon trine Venus just loves women. There is a biquintile between Moon and Neptune and between Mars and Uranus. Both aspect combinations refer to ‘having more than 1 relationship’. There are several midpointcombinations indicating the same, a.o. Jupiter and Pluto semi square Venus/Saturn. The publication comes at the time that Uranus is on his natal MC. Does it surprise that there is even a suggestion that it was his first wife who contributed a lot to the E=MC2 theory?
Einstein is a creative personality (fire and earth combinations) but not very ‘social’. It seems his children were not very happy with this father. So far the ‘revelations’ that come in the right astrological time with Uranus. For his success I would like to point at the so called ‘golden Yod’ of Moon, Jupiter and Neptune (peregrine, for limitless!) for the great imagination and succesfull speculantions and the small trine between Sun, Mars and Pluto.

9th July 2006 AND ITALY IS CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!
As I mentioned the stars blessed Buffon and so he held 1 crucial ball and Italy won the final game. But also astrology has been proven a good method of prediction... I mentioned before: "If there will be penalties, he must steel the show, was my idea, untill I heard that he has already been proclamed best keeper of the games. He wins anyway!."And so it is.
FINAL WC FOOTBALL
The official final moment of the worl championship football in Stuttgart is 9th of July at 21h45. But most of the games last longer...Also there is the possibility of another added half hour. And ...of a range of penalties. So it is very difficult to find the MC of the final somewhere between the 26th degree of Scorpio and the 5th of Sagittarius. I see the keeper of Italy (Gianluigi Buffon, born 29th of Januray 1978 in Carrara at 8h30 a.m.) has beaufiful Jupiter and Pluto transits and also an exact trine of Saturn to hit natal MC. If there will be penalties, he must steel the show, was my idea, untill I heard that he has already been proclamed best keeper of the games. He wins anyway!. Here is some more data for those who want to make there own astrological prognosis:
Thierry Henry (France, born 17th August 1977 at 18h45 in Les Ulis 25 km from Paris). He has T Saturn square MC and should not perform as well as was to be expected. Coach of France is Raymond Domenech, 24th January 1952, Lyon at 21 hours) and coach of Italy is Marcello Lippi (11th April 1948 in Viareggio, time unknown). Zinedine Zidane was born 23rd of June 1972 at 3 a.m. in Marseille (he will stop playing after the games and has progressed Moon trine ruler MC Uranus on his final day as a football player)
Allessandro Del Piero, born 9th November 1974 in Conegliano is an Italian football player.

GERMANY -PORTUAL 3-1
7th July 2006
LONDON SUBWAY BLAST REMEMBERED
One year ago three suicide bombers caused a disaster in the London Subway. See the article about the midpoint aspects the 'position' Vulcanus made that day with the chart of the moment of the blast.
The 3 suicide killers of the London Subway Blast on 7th of July 2005 were born:
a. 20th October 1974 (Sun, Mars and Uranus conjunct, Sun conjunct the midpoint Mars/Uranus)
b. 16th September 1986 (Sun trine Mars, square Uranus),
c. 15th December 1980 (Sun conjunct Mars/Uranus).
All three had combinations of Sun with Mars and Uranus. You read more about Mars combined with Uranus in the article under this link.
5th July 2006
TOUR DE FRANCE
On the front pages of the tabloids today was the face of Erik Dekker, covered with blood. It was supposed to be his final Tour de France but he fell and his injuries do not allow a come back. He was born 21st Augustu of 1970 in Hoogeveen. Sun is in Leo, Mars is walking ahead (oriental: performance first!) and the Moon is in Aries (that is a position I noticed with more Dutch bikers). Today you see the disappointment of transit Sunsesquiquadrate Neptune. The accident you might see in the transit Uranus makes (opposition with Mars and Mercury progressed). And the untidy forced end of the ride you might adress to the semi square Saturn makes with natal Pluto. A bad memory would be too bad for this succesfull biker. Besides the amount of succes indicating midpoint in this chart there is Jupiter semi square Mars/Uarnus to be a guardian angel in case of accidents.
Better news for Robbie McEwen (24th June 1972 Brisbane). He is Cancer with Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius. Out of sign the Sun squares Pluto. Jupiter is opposed to the Sun and Sun on the midpoint Jupiter/Pluto. This combination indicates succes. McEwen might be more carefull (Saturn is oriental) but still he is winner today with T Mars sesquiquadreat Jupiter and conjunct Progressed Mars and Transit Jupiter sesquiquadrate Venus. He convincinly won part of the Tour de France today.
3 juli 2006
PAUL en HEATHER McCARTNEY
Rumours say Paul is to pay 14 million to Heather although she is entitled to get 270 million. Nevertheless these are no happy days for Paul. First he had transit Pluto conjunct Sun for a definite change with challenge in life. Today transit Saturn is semi square the Sun (frustrations and being set back). Transit Neptune is square Venus (disappointment in love and ....loss of money, as Venus is in the second house of money). Easy letting go of a business affair (Transit Neptune trine Mercury), but Transit Venus conjunct Saturn (symbolising for example divorce, saying goodbye, feeling sad...etc.). He is born 18th June 1942 in Liverpool at about 0h30 a.m. If that is correct the transitting Node in 29d15m30s Pisces is nowe conjunct his ascendant.
29th June 2006
GOVERNMENT CRISIS IN THE NETHERLANDS
This chart is the solar return (birthday( chart of the Dutch government. As a result of the fuss around Ayaan Hirsi Ali and the withdrewell of the support for this government by one of the coalition partners (D66, left wing liberals in a conservative government) prime minster Balkenende had to present the resignation of the government. Maybe this crew continues in some way, maybe earlier elections will follow.
28th June 2006
ANGEL MATURINO
Today Angel Maturino (born August 1, 1959) was executed. He had been convicted for the murder and rape of over 15 persons and his nickname was ‘Railroadkiller’. Angel Maturino was an illegal Mexican in the USA. On Augus1, 1959 the Sun squared Neptune and was biquintile Saturn, with Mars conjunct Pluto. Drugs-and alcohol addiction was the background and the violence is shown by the Mars-Pluto aspect. But of course there is much more…The Moon is oriental and that is prominent. The positions of both Moon and Mars correlate with the study mrs. Wickenburg did on the charts of serial killers:This is the link to that study
Apart from that his Moon opposes Saturn (for the bad concitions in his family home). Venus, Mars and Pluto join each other in Virgo and his chart lacks air: you cannot reason with him sometimes.
He started in the year 1997 (29th August) with:
- the Sun about to join Saturn and to square Mars,
- Sun about to semi square the midpoint Mars/Saturn
All very apropiate. At the time of his arrest you see:
- the moon joined Saturn,
- the moon trined Pluto and
- the moon was sesquiquadrate Vulcanus.
Today, day of his death:
- transit Venus (the actual position of Venus) squares progressed Pluto
- transit Jupiter semi square the Progressed Sun
- transit Saturn semi square the Progressed Sun
- progressed Moon square Saturn this year
- progressed Moon inconjunct Pluto this year
- porgressed Mon semi square Vulcan this year .
What comes around goes around, it the saying and in this chart that is so, like you see more often in these cases.
JOHAN STELLINGWERF
Johan Stellingwerf has been arrested in Brasil and the Dutch police refuses to say why exactly, but they mention serious sexual crimes with violence and the danger of repeting this. The pattern on his day of birth (27th February 1981 in Leiden, Holland) is in line with the Wickenburg study on Astrodatabank. The Moon is in Sagittarius (in 74% of the serial killer charts she investigated the Moon is in Sagittarius or Capricorn). The Sun is conjunct Mars (in 56,8% of the cases Mars is no further than 45 degrees away from the Sun). On Zero Aries are the midpoints Mars/Saturn, Uranus/Pluto and Pluto/Vulcanus. Uranus/Pluto is the midpoint for arrests. The combination of Mars and Saturn with Pluto and/or Vulcanus indicates violence (not necessairely as the actor). Interesting is the conjunction of Venus and Uranus with Vulcanus (indicating perhaps ‘getting exited of violence). With an hour of birth there could maybe be more to tell. The prosecution and arrest happen with Transit Saturn inconjunct Sun and conjunct Nodes after transit Uranus conjunct Sun and Mars.
25th June 2006 NICOLE KIDMAN MARRIED
Sunday 25th June 2006 Nicole Kidman, born on Honolulu 20th June 1967 married for the second time. In her chart I see Mars in Libra opposed to Saturn in Aries. Mars in Libra is making conflicts in partnerships and the opposition of Mars and Saturn in a female's chart is an indication for separating (Saturn) from a man (Mars). Wish her better luck this time!
LOST! Netherlands - Portugal 0-1;(
As was to be expected, looking at the transit and progressions of Marco van Basten compared of those of the Portugese coach Scolari, Portugal goes on and the Netherlands quit. It is clear that if you want to win a world cup you had better take a coach with Jupiter aspects at the time of the games...
ANDRE AGASSI
Andre Agassi (born 29th April 1970 in Las Vegas, USA) announced that this year will be his last as a tennis player. His Sun in in the 9th or 10th degree of Taurus. Jupiter is now in the 10th degree of Scorpio (back in the sign Jupiter was at birth) and moving backwards (retrograding) still. Saturn is in the 10th degree of Leo and will soon square natal Saturn in Taurus in Agassi's chart. It seems age (Saturn) and possibility (Jupiter) made him decide.
The Sun is conjunct Saturn and sesquiquadrate Pluto in his natal chart. Another 'die hard' who need to concentrate to win (Pluto) a game (Sun) alone (Saturn), mostly. I have seen more charts of individual sportsmen and sportswomen with these planets in aspect with each other. This combination in the charts of professional sportsmen also tells us that they their may be health problems due to the strong demands they made to the body. Agassi has Jupiter opposed to the Sun also, to make it a success combination.
TO WIN OR TO LOSE?
This is the progressed chart of the Dutch coach Marco van Basten with the transits of the final moment of the football match Netherlands - Portugal. Apart from Transit Neptune square progressed MC and Transit Mars inconjunct progressed ascendant he has transit Mercury inconjunct natal Saturn and transit Pluto opposed to the Northern Node. How optimistic must this preview be?:) The only way Holland can win is that Marco van Basten was born 8 minutes later. Two years ago, when he became the coach of the Dutch team, he had IC conjunct Jupiter. It is, BTW, a pity that the match starts at 9 p.m. instead of at 8.30 p.m. like the match against Argentina. That would give a Jupiter effect in the end.
Luiz Felipe Scolari was born 9th November 1948 in Brasil and coaches Portugal. More is not known, but this already is sufficient to see that at the end of the game Holland-Portugal transit Mars semi squares his natal Jupiter, the actual Sun is exactly contra parallel his natal Jupiter and the midheaven of that moment is exactly conjunct his progressed Jupiter. Need I say more? These are all indications for being happy!
Scolari has Sun in Scorpio square Pluto and Pluto trines Mars. These are commun aspects with coaches and footballplayers. The coaches I studied all have an aspect between Sun and Pluto.
22nd June 2006
HIDDINK!
Guus Hiddink has progressed with his Australian team in the World Championships Football after 2-2 against Croatia. Guus Hidding is born under lucky stars 8th of November 1948 in Wisch. During this event Jupiter is conjunct Jupiter (a Jupiter return!). And if that is not enough already in September Jupiter will pass over his natal Sun. With such a Dutch coach Holland feels a winner anyway!
21st June 2006
EDWIN DE ROY VAN ZUYDEWIJN
Edwin de Roy van Zuydewijn, the ex of Princes Margarita (daughter of Dutch Princess Irene, sister of the Queen), does it again. He reveils delicate secrets of his former mother in law. I do not know if that will help him getting Margarita back!
Edwin has a narrow conjunction of Uranus and Pluto square Mars. Translation: a dangerous short temper. Read also the articles about
Mars-Pluto and Mars-Uranus. And precisely today transit Uranus squares his Natal Mars. He certainly is dangerous for reputations.
Princess Irene has today an exact square of the progressed Moon with the ascendant (an emotional reaction). Also Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are heading up to make a conflicting aspect with both the Sun and progressive ascendant. Daughter Margarita (born Octobeer 13 1972 in Nijmegen at 14h33) has transit Pluto on the Midheaven, indicating difficutlies in keeping and guarding her position.Below is the natal chart of Irene. Notice the lacking elements water and air. Venus conjunct Pluto is the closest aspect. You can read about that aspect under this link. BTW Edwin was born 19 June 1966 in Amsterdam.
THE NETHERLANDS-ARGENTINIA
This is the chart of the final moments of the World Championship battle between Holland and Argentina, with the positions of coach Van Basten wrapped around it. Do you see Jupiter on the IC?
And this is the chart of the final moments again, now with the positions of coach Pekerman (Argentina) wrapped around the chart. Do you see Jupiter on the Ascendant?
It seems both are happy! Sometimes being an astrologer is not made easy by the stars...:)
20th June 2006
CHARLES TAYLOR
The former president of Liberia, Charles Taylor, is to be trialed in The Hague for his crimes. As you see above on the day he was born (28th January 1948 in Arthington, near the capital of Liberia, Monrovia) there was a quintile between Mars and Uranus. The Sun was semi square Jupiter, sesquiquadrate Uranus and widely opposed to Pluto, that is inconjunct the planet Venus. In the chart drawing you see both Neptune and Pluto inconjunct Venus. Neptune and Pluto form a sextile aspect. This is called a Yod, with the pointing finger towards Venus that is square Mars/Uranus. Without the Hour of Birth (HOB) there is no more to be said than that he is a rebellious and short tempered person, succeeding in having succes. Jupiter on that day was exactly trine Saturn (growing responsibiliteis) and that combination, as you see in the drawing, is the key factor in his life. Also watch the relationship between Venus and Pluto and the Nodes (the people) conjunct Vulcanus (V = for Violence...). Significant midpointconnections for a 'warlord': Mars semi square Saturn/Uranus and Uranus/Pluto and Pluto square Sun/Saturn. (
FREYA VAN DEN BOSSCHE
Belgian minister Freya van den Bossche is hot news again. This time Uranus (for revaltion and news) is conjunt natal Mercury (that squares Neptune...) at the time that there is public doubt that she wrote her dissertation about Marc Dutroux herself (or did the housefriend?). That is because she is not only a busy member of the gouvernment but also a young mother. Where does she find time? people wonder. She was born 26 March 1975.
This newspage started on 29th of october 2005 in English. Older message are HERE for 2005 and you find the files for 2006 under this link.
15 June 2006
FATHER EUSTACHIO VAN LIESHOUT
Father Eustachio van Lieshout was born 3rd November 1890 and today it was his beatification. Even without hour of birth the positions of the
planets of that day tell us a story.
Like with Father Damian in 1995 you see an aspect with Saturn around the beatification. Father Damian had progressed Sun opposed to Saturn.
Father Eustachio now has transit Saturn inconjunct progressed Sun (and transit Uranus opposed to natal Saturn). Saturn is for 'status'. Father Eustachio also has a transit of Pluto semi square natal Sun today. (You see, another combination of Saturn and Pluto, like is the case in a lot
of news items these weeks...).
Justs like most of the trappist monks I studied. in the year he entered the congregation of fathers of the holy harts of Jesus and Mary in 1913 his progressed Sun was connected to Jupiter (a sextile in this case). The progressed Moon was trine Jupiter (for happy event) and conjunct Neptune. The combination of Jupiter and Neptune says is indicative for believers, religion and 'what is holy'. In august of 1943 he died due to the bite of an insect and that was with progressed Sun inconjunct Neptune, very apropiate. Neptune is for poison and Neptune is for insects. Do you see the aspects with Jupiter in 1913 and Neptune in 1943? Another Jupiter/Neptune combination.
The midpoint combinations show no Jupiter/Neptune connections as far as I can see (without knowing MC or Ascendant!...) But like a lot of
modern popes and like Father Damian this father has Jupiter/Uranus combinations for having a special conviction. Jupiter/Uranus combines with Venus, Mercury, Saturn and Nodes! Also Jupiter squares Sun/Uranus.These are already 5 indications in the same direction, and that is more
than the 'rule of three'.
BTW Father Damian was born 15th april 1889 and his beatification was in 1995. December 2 2005 he was named 'greatest Belgian ever'. That
occured with transit Saturn semi square Sun in the year that his progressed Sun opposed to Neptune.
BILL GATES
Bill Gates announced today that as from 1st of July 2008 he will dedicate himself to charity work and limit his activities for Microsoft to advising only. On the 6th July 2008 his Progressed Sun sextiles Neptune, symbolising withdrawel and charity. Neptune in his chart is oriental (rising before the Sun) and that is good for idealism. Volunteers, BTW, often have Neptune in aspect with the ascendant. There is a full article about Bill Gates that you find HERE, just clik on this link..
14 June 2006
YOLANTE VAN KASBERGEN Yolante van Kasbergen has been proclaimed the most sexy woman of The Netherlands. She was born 19 March 1985, time unknown, on the Spanisch island of Ibiza. Her Sun and Moon are in Pisces and its ruler (Neptune) trines Mars. An astrological way to tell us that media and looking good on pictures have to do with her activities. Another thing is that she has a so called Golden Yod in her chart, formed by Venus, Saturn and Jupiter.
Today is her lucky day. A transit of the Sunis sesquiquadrate Jupiter.
OLDEST MAN DIED
With a transit of Mars opposed to his progressed Sun, the oldest man in Holland died due to compiications of a surgery. His name was Jan Voogt and he was born 12 October 1899. That day 50% of the planets were in airsigns. This corresponds with my study about the differences in length of life and the planets in their elements..
13 June 2006
FRANZ BECKENBAUER
Great organisor of these World Championchips Football in Germany is Franz Beckenbauer, born 11th September 1945 at 23h45 in München with an ascendant of 28d28m20s Gemini. Mars is in Cancer (lots of Dutch footballplayers and coaches have Mars in Cancer). Mars squares Jupiter and Neptune. Pluto is oriental (that is: rising before the Sun), indicating that influence, money and power is the first thing that rises when looking at this chart.
Beckenbauer has Mercury sextile Mars (being a spokesman) and Venus is conjunct Pluto (somebody who will sure look after making money).
The 29th of June his progressed Moon perfects the trine with natal Jupiter and that is the best aspect a man can get!No wonder he lookes busy but happy!
12 June 2006
GUUS HIDDINK
See 3rd of June for his data. Guus Hiiddink is the Dutch coach of the Australian football team that won (from the Japanese) today. With Jupiter coming over his Sun in September it is to be expected that luck will not soon leave this man. In July he will start training the Russians.
PS CAMILLA
Camilla, who lost her father the 11th of June is about to experience her second Saturn return very soon. While the first time Saturn returns to the natal position makes a person grow and 'adult', the second time makes you very aware of time passing by...
JOHN CLEESE
John Cleese (27 October 1939, 3u15 a.m. Weston-super-Mare) will stop his activities on stage. Instead he is planning to write a book about the history of comedy. He announces this exactly at the right astrological time. His chart indicates:
Transit Saturn (in 8) conjunct Progressed Midheaven (an end, luckily with Saturn begin ruler of th 5th house)...
Transit Jupiter sextile Sun (being content)
Progressed Mercury (planet of communicatiions and writing) sesquiquadrate the MC
Progressed MC opposed to the progressed Venus (Venus dispositor of the ninth house and in 3...The houses three and nine form the axis of publishers and teachers..
The Solar return chart for October 27 2005 had Venus, ruling nine and in three...conjunct the IC.
The change is reported shortly after the event of Full Moon in the 21st degree of Sagittarius, exactly conjunct the IC in his solar return chart.
11th June 2006
CAMILLA
The Princess of Wales, Camilla, lost her father today. She is born 17th of July 1947 at 7 in the morning in London (MEZ). Today we find Transit Pluto sesquiquadrate Saturn (a hard confrontation) as the closest aspect next ot Transit Jupiter trine Moon (possibly describing the support of the family) and inconjunct the Midheaven.At the same time Transit Saturn is semi square Uranus and sextile Neptune, ruler of the 8th equal house.
Sunday the 11th of June it is Full Moon at 18:05 Universal Time. It is said that the place of the New Moon in your chart indicates where the main changes and events are to take place. The Moon will be in the 21st degree of Sagittarius this time. So if you are born between 11 and 13 December this is YOUR new moon chart. See the chart below: . More about the Moon and positions in 2006 ....
10th of June 2006 This linkleads to an observation of the chart (time unknown) of Yigal Amir, the murderer of Rabin, born 23th May 1970 with a tight square of Mars and Pluto. About 18 months ago he married a 'f an' who is eager to get pregnant, but guards now stopped her from transporting semen out of prison after a visit. The couple is not allowed to have intimate meetings. Apart from what is mentioned in the articel of 'Talillastan.com' I see Vulcanus close to the Sun, perfectly trined by Pluto. Pluto squares Mars. A violent combination. Also Saturn is on Aries Point square Mars/Uranus and sesquiquadrate Uranus/Pluto (sudden violence and the responsibilities of this act). As there is no time of birth there is not much to tell about this (progressed) chart. But in 2004, year of marriage, the progressed Sun squared Uranus and the progressed Moon trined Venus. In November 1995 (he killed Rabin the 4th of November) Pluto, retrograde in the natal chart, returned to the birth position. That indicates an important moment of change in life and with Pluto danger and questions of life and death are involved..
9th of June 2006
AL ZARQAWI
Hot news today is the death of the terrorist leader Al Zarqawi. There are different version of his background and different dates of birth, all with big question marks. Most mentioned is 30th of October 1966 in Jordany. The chart is to be seen here below (chart for unknown time of birth). You see that Uranus, Mars and Pluto are in a cluster and rising before the Sun (oriental). After that you have read the articles about Mars with Uranus and Mars with Pluto you will agree that this chart could fit...
7th June 2006 ANN COULTER/HILARY CLINTON
Ann Coulter is a conservative publiisher, born 8th December 1961, 4:37 p.m. in Darien, Connecticut with a stellium of 5 planets in Sagittarius squaring the planet Pluto. Pluto makes fanatics and a 'Sag' stellium makes persons who loudly proclaim their opnion. A rather radical opnion, as in the book 'Godless; The church of liberalism' she says the 9-11 widows of New Jersey are the happiest widows she ever saw, enjoying their position. Hillary Clinton slams that remarks. She is born 26th October 1947 at 20 hours in Chicago and het Saturn is on the Nodes of Coulter. Het IC is in between the Uranus and Pluto of her opponent (for years allready). She is deeply (Pluto) shocked (Uranus) by Ann. See the chart of Ann Coulter here below:
GEORGE W. BUSH
As to be expected with Saturn on the ascendant George W. Bush (6th July 1946, 7:26 am New Haven) struggle against same-sex-marriages was in vain. The amendment to forbid these marriages was defeated in the senate. He cannot have an astrologer to advice him, that is a fact, as Saturn in now at the same position as in the days right after Katrina (8th degree of Leo). Saturn is for thinking things over seriously and doing your job. Not for trying to change things or win battles. See 3rd of June, too.
5th June 2006
JOHN DE WOLF/REBECCA LOOS
Rebecca Loos thinks John de Wolf is a sweetie. Rebecca says she and John are having 'something'. John is divorced and born 10th of December 1962 at 5h20 a.m. in Schiedam. Right now Jupiter is on his ascendant and Venus close to his descendant. Both planets are for luck and are on his horizon...Pretty descriptive for the situation.
4th of June 2006
VINCE WELNICK (GRATEFULL DEAD)
Vince Welnick (keyboard player of the Gratefull Dead, born in Phoenix Arizona 21st of February 1951, ended his life the 1st of June 2006. It was known he was depressed for long. His natal chart shows Mars opposed to Saturn and biquintile Pluto (a combination often found in cases of unnatural death) and Sun inconjunct Saturn with Mercury opposed to Pluto, describing both stress and depression. At this time Transit Saturn squares his natal Mercury (thinking too hard) and Transit Pluto squares Venus (making a difficult choice).
DOUTZEN KROES
Doutzen Kroes is a foto model, born 23 january 1985 in Oostermeer (Netherlands) and elected to be the 'face' of' l'Oreal. Maybe her MC and ascendant tell other stories (without Hour of Birth I do not know) but Saturn sesquiquadrate Mars says she is frustrated now and that is peculiar. How come she is so beautiful? She has Sun in Aquarius and Moon, Venus and Mars int he sign of Pisces. Pisces is the sign of media, movies and fotography. Like in the charts of the worlds' most beautiful people (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) Venus makes an aspect with Uranus (a square) The Sun squares Pluto, showing her strong will and persistance. With both Jupiter and Uranus on the midpoint Sun/Venus the chance for special luck in love and beauty is a lot greater than with others, too.
3 June 2006
GEORGE BUSH
As if he never learns George Bush started a campaign against homosexual marriages at the time Transit Saturn is conjunct his ascendant again, same positiion as when Katrina went over New Orleans. Jupiter is squaring Pluto on the ascendant, symbolising a conflict (square) between conviction (Jupiter) and sexualitiy (Pluto). Today transit Sun semi squares Saturn, another indication that this is not the best day to start a new project. I noticed that the progressed Sun is to semi square both Saturn and Progressed Saturn and Transit Uranus is opposed to the Sun on the next 11/12 th September and that in the Solar Return chart Pluto is on the ascendant, like in his birth chart. That does not seem to be a good sign for his healt and neither is this transit of Saturn in the first house.
GUUS HIDDINK
Today there was a documentairy about the life of Guus Hiddink, former coach of suddenly rising Southern Korea and now working in Australia. First of July he will set off for Russia. This international football coach has Sun on Aries Point conjunct Jupiter, square Pluto, biquintile Uranus and square Saturnus. A study on this site showed that all of the football coaches in Holland have Sun in aspect with Pluto (being fanatic, being an authority). Guus Hidding is passionate man (Venus is conjunct Mars tightly) and the aspects his Sun make say that he is known for being a succesfull die hard. Jupiter Oriental (rising before the Sun) make this man the international he is.
Recently he divorced after a very long marriage. As it happens I recently had another case of Venus Retrograde returning to natal position and like Hiddink that man divorced.
COUNTESS LEONORE
This is the -equal house - chart of the daughter of Prince Constantijn (second son of Queen Beatrix) and Princess Laurentien, born today at 17h06 in The Hague and called Leonore.
Her mother Laurentien was born 25th of May 1966 in Leiden .Her progressed Sun is conjunt Jupiter and semi square Mars this year, a fortunate combination for expanding the family. Her Venus was exactly at the descendant of Leonore at the time of birht, a sign of being happy.
Father Constantijn has his Mercury on the Souther Node of his daughter. Her Saturn is square to his progressed Venus and his Saturn is conjunct her Venus (a common pattern between parents and daughters). Also her Sun is sextile his MC and that is the solar transit for Constantijn for today. More about solar transits you find HERE.
LIZ TAYLOR
Nopw 74-year old Elisabeth Taylor told the press in a conference that she does not suffer from Alzheimer disease, but due to using medication so much she can hardly speak. She was born 27th of February at 2 a.m. in Londen. In her chart we see Transit Neptunus square Progressed Sun vor the rumours and the medication. For her bad condition we find Progressed MC semi square progressed Saturn and T Saturn is inconjunct the natal Sun.
PRINCE BERNHARD (jr.)
There is much irritation in the press over the way the Dutch princes are allowed to park in the capital, Amsterdam. Prins Bernhard parks his beautiful Ferrari (inherated from his grandfather) in the garage of the Amsterdam Social Service of all places! That saves money and that is very pleasant for a person with Sun and ascendant in Capricorn and Moon in Cancer, both economical signs. He is born 25th of December 1969 at 8h58 a.m. in Nijmegen with Jupiter conjunct MC opposed to Saturn (indicating a business carreer). Uranus is in top of the (equal house) chart and squaring the Sun (for the need to be free and avant garde). I doubt if the gossip hurts much. Jupiter is now squaring the progressed Sun and about to return to the natal MC. Jupiter conjunct the MC might even indicate getting a new car...

ROCIO JURADO
(En Castellano) La cantante famosa Rocio Jurado (nacido el 18 de septiembre de 1944 en C;adiz) ha muerto durante el tránsito de Plutón en Sagittario, 90 grados (un cuadrado) del Sol en su horóscopo. Sufrió de un cancer, pero en enero estaba cantando en televisión. Era impressionante.
The famous Spanish singer Rocio Jurado (born 18th of September 1944 in Cadiz) died during the transit of Pluto in Sagittarius, squaring her natal Sun. She suffered from a cancer but late January she was in a television show that was quite impressive.
31st May 2006 Hello visitor, in the month of May 2006 you and 20.500 other unique visitors saw 70.400 pages of this website, Astromarkt. That is a new record!
ALBERT OF MONACO
Today Monaco announced that Prince Albert of Monaco does not have ONE but TWO children out of marriage. Does that surprise you, knowing that Venus in Aquarius (afflicted: free love) is afflicted by Saturn (by semi square), Neptune (square: good for love affairs) and Uranus (opposition, good for love adventures)? That Venus also is in the 8th house of sex and rules the 5th house of children.
27th May 2006
SHILOH NOUVEL JOLIE-PITT
Saturday night in a rather unpopulated part of Namibia, the daughter of Brad Pitt (18th December 1963, 6h31 in Shawnee) and Angelina Jolie (4th of June 1975, 09h09m in LA) was born, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. Nice to see that the positions in her birth chart correlate with the charts of her parents.
Her Venus squares her mothers Venus conjunct Ascendant and her Mars is close to that position..
Her Jupiter is conjunct her fathers’progressed MC
Her Pluto is conjunct her fathers’ Sun
From this we read joy and happiness and (likewise Tom Cruise, who had Pluto on the IC when his baby was born the 22nd of last April), the father is very impressed.
25th May 2006
'ROYAL FLYING BEHAVIOUR'
The Dutch socialist party has asked the minister about the way the royal family uses the gouvernmental airplane. Over 50% of the flights are private flights, but they were not calculated. So they flew (for) free as a bird! :)

HEATHER MILLS
Heather Mills is (still) the wife of Paul McCartney. She was born 12th January 1968 in Aldershot and was married before. She is rather controversial and lots of friends and fans opposed against their marriage. Uranus is right on the descendant of Paul and in her chart on Aries Point. Uranus brings sensation, hectic situations and accidents. The marriage started with Heather loosing a leg. End it ends with her progressed Sun opposed to Jupiter and in the Solar Return chart Mars opposed Jupiter. It is said that the divorce would cost Paul a quarter of his possessions.
However, they shared a life and they shared aspects in their chars:
- Paul Sun conjunct Jupiter, Heather Sun sesquiquadrate Jupiter
- Paul Saturn conjunct Uranus, Heather Saturn opposed Uranus.
More about sharing aspects in a relationship is to be found HERE.
18th of May 2006
PAUL MCCARTNEY
He is fining for a divorce, Paul McCartney (born 18th of July 1942 in Liverpool, possibly at 0h30m). This happens when Transit Pluto opposes his natal Sun and trines progressed Sun, right after Transit Neptune squared natal Venus and before T Pluto is about to square Neptune. Transit Saturn has recently been conjunct progressed Venus. Neptune in his natal chart is right on the descendant (starting point of the house of marriage and relations).
AYAAN HIRSI ALI
I notice a Saturn-Pluto connection in the chart of the liberal political party members involved in the case of Ayaan Hirsi Ali who was 'exposed' as a liar in a socialistic newsmagazine (Zembla) although every knew the thruth 5 years ago. The riot costs Hirsi Ali the Dutch nationality, the minister might loose her job and the people their government. Ayaan was born 13th of November 1969 in Mogadishu Somalia (a country where according to Zembla women are free to choose their husbands and never harmed when they do not want to marry a candidate introduced by the parents). The minister is Rita Verdonk, born 18th of October 1955 at 8h45 in Utrecht (Moon in Scorpio conjunct Saturn).
An ex politician, also liberal, Hans Wiegel, born 16th July 1941, said he was happy Hirsi Ali leaves. He has T saturn exactly on P Pluto.
Hirsi Ali herself has SA Pluto opposed to Saturn.
A liberal political friend in European parliament born 9th of July 1941, who introduced Hirsi Ali into the liberal party defended her and has T Saturn over P Pluto.
The liberal minister has T Pluto trine Jupiter (defending her conviction and policy) and semi sextile P Saturn (exactly).
The progressed chart of the Netherlands (16th March 1815 11h40 LMT Amsterdam) had P MC 26d18m Virgo and that is square T Pluto. Transit Saturn is exactly opposed to Progressed Saturn. There is Saturn-Pluto again. Is not astrology amazing?
14th of May 2006
Margaret Ann Pahl (born 6th of April 1909 in Edgerton Ohio), a nun, was murdered by a priest at age 71. What indications for this brutal event were there in their natal and progressed charts?
In her natal chart Uranus is semi square Mars/Saturn and square Mars/Neptune. Also Mars, Saturn and Uranus square by translation of light in a relationship with Sun and Venus. And Mars, ruler of the Sun and Venus, is in MR with Saturn. Venus is quintile Mars and Pluto, square Neptune. Jupiter and Saturn quintile Pluto. (Acc. to the rules of Tyl she must have been a creative person, in the sense that she could create things or thoughts). In 1980 (year of her death) the P Sun was conjunct Pluto. On the specific day T Pluto squared Uranus and semi squared Jupiter, trined Nodes. Transit Uranus was inconjunct PSun and inconjunct P Pluto. T Pluto was opposed to P Saturn.
This year, 2006, her murderer has been charged at last. Transit Pluto is opposed to (Progressed Mars square Pluto). This says: a murder -Mars-Pluto- investigation Pluto. In the Solar Return chart for this year Mars opposed Pluto.
13th of May 2006
ANNA MARIA TAUSCHER (Maria Theresa of Saint Joseph)
Today Maria Theresa of Saint Joseph (born 19th June 1855 in Sandow - now Poland, then Germany, daughter of a vicar) has been pronounced blessed by pope Benedictus 16th for the work she did for children and old people. On the day she was born Jupiter was in Pisces (a Jupiter-Neptune connection) and Mars square the midpoint Jupiter/Neptunus.
8th May 2006
NICOLE KIDMAN and TOM CRUISE
'I still love him', Nicole says about the man she divorced in 2001 (Tom Cruise). They share a Venus-Saturn aspect. Venus-Saturn refers to a marriage, love or loyalty related to time, age, position or endurance. In She has Venus in Leo trine Saturn and is born 20th of June 1967 in Honolulu at ??time unknown. He has Venus in Leo opposed to Saturn (born 3 July 1962 in Sirracuse time unknown.
5th May 2006
TONY BLAIR
Tomorrow is his birthday, but today he did not receive presents yet. His Labour Partij lost the local elections after a lot of scandals in the party and about the way his wife is spending the money of the community. You would expect a lot of difficult aspect, but to my surprise there are more pleasant ones. There is a lot of support and optimism (Jupiter) and besides the stress there is strength (Pluto). There is of course a nastsy moment (P Moon square P Saturn) but very soon that will pass. There is a rumour going that he is planning to be converted into Roman Catholicism. His wife is a roman catholic.
A list of aspect:
1. Progressiver Jupiter trine Moon (mid of May: growing populairity and personal growth)
2. (followed by the most fortunate aspect in December: Progressed Moon trine Jupiter!).
3. Progressed Moon is now square Progressed Saturn (emotionally down),
4. But soon after: P Moon trine P Venus! If he had not been married yet and had a comoplete family you would expect a family moment but in this case having a nice time (maybe a holiday) could fit as well.
5. Transit Pluto inconjunct IC: fundamental changes against his will.
6. Transit Pluto semi square Moon (stress).
7. Transit Pluto exactly trine Mercury, ruler ascendant and Mars (the important cornerstone planet) . Pluto rules the sixth house of daily tasks. Maybe he will make a succesful speech but he could also change his mind easily during this aspect.
8. Primairy Moon semi square Jupiter and primairy Jupiter semi square Ascendant.
9. Solar chart (birthday chart) has Mars on the descendant while in the radix Mars is on the ascendant. A turn?
10. Solar Moon squares solar MC (indication for a change in life or lifestyle).
4th of May 2006
KAREL APPEL
Karel Appel, famous Dutch painter of abstracts, died 3rd of May in Zürich, age 85. He was born 25th of April 1921 in Amsterdam. At the moment Transit Saturn makes life harder for those born around 25th April. Transit Pluto is inconjunct the progressed Sun of Karel Appel. And the Sun is semi square Venus this year. You could read this subsequently as hard times, confrontation with death and more or less forced peace and rest.
MOUSSAOUI
Born 30th of May 1968 in Saint Jean de Luz, France and today he will be convicted to life in jail for taking part in the preparations of the attacks op 9-11. In the article about the aspect Mars-Uranus you find examples of terrorist with this aspect prominent in their chart. This terrorist also has a connection between these planets. Natal Sun is conjunct Mars and square Pluto. Mars is (widely) square Uranus and is semi square the midpoints Sun/Uranus and Sun/Pluto. The mark of a man who wants to make changes with struggle and violence.

KEITH RICHARD
Keith Richard (born 18th December 1943 at 6 in Dartford) has serious head injuries or (according to CNN) a light concussion after falling out of a palm tree (!) on one of the Fidji islands. He is in hospital for observation. This happens during the transit of Mars (dispositor of the head, scars and woonds) on the progressed descendant. Recently Jupiter was on the progressed MC. Let''s hope this aspect is still working! But the progressed ascendant also makes a sesquiquadrate aspect with Mars. And in the Solar Return Chart Mercury (symbol for brains and ruler 8 in the natal chart) is sitting on the ascendnat. Apart form that there is a Mars-Uranus conjunction in Keith Richard's natal chart. That conjunction could show the possibility of being accident prone. You see the progressed chart with the transit here below.

EBRU OMAR
She publishes articles iin Holland, Ebru Omar (born 20th May 1970 in Den Haag - The Hague - at 7hu41m a.m., This weekend two boys who recoginsed her and apparently did not agree with the contents of what she wrote, hit her hard in the face after saying 'that is her!". This happened with Transit Mars square Uranus in her chart and in the solar return Mars is conjunct Uranus. You can read about the aspect Mars-Uranus in the article you find under this link.
ANGELINA JOLIE
Angelina Jolie is born 4th June 1975 in Los Angeles at 9h09m a.m. and is partner of Brad Pitt. With him she is in South Africa now. Her former female lover Jenny Shimizu keeps mentioning the sexual relationship she had with Angelina. A former male lover of Angelina has said she preferes women over men. This happens to Angelina while transit Uranus, ruler of the 8th house of sex, life and death, squares her natal Sun. Uranus is often bringing the 'scandalous news' in the charts of the rich and famous.

QUEEN ELISABETH
Exactly 80 years ago today Queen Elisabeth of England was born at 1h40 GMT in London, with Saturn on the MC. A good example for a person who stays on in spite of everything (or would Saturn be nicer to women? Both Napoleon and Hitler had Saturn on the MC). And a good example for those with Saturn on the MC being afraid of the future...:).
It seems she does not think of resigning in favour of her son Charles and she wants to be a queen until she dies. Her mother reached the age of 101! It seems that of all the British royal people the Queen is now the most popular person.

KATIE HOLMES
Tom Cruise's wife is called Katie Holmes. Her life completely changed this year. She was converted to the Scientology church (of Tom Cruise..) and now that Transit Pluto is in the 27th degree of Sagittarius she had a baby. Katy Holmes was born 18th December 1978. Her natal Sun is in the 27th degree of Sagittarius. The impact of Pluto on the charts of both Katie and Tom will equal the impact the little girl will have on her parents. Her natal Pluto will be conjunct her mothers' Sun and her father's IC.
TOM CRUISE
I happened to write the text below the chart about Tom Cruise last night. At that time he called Jay Lenno to tell him he had just become the father of a daughter. That happened with T Pluto conjunct his IC.
Tom Cruise is in trouble. He says he is willing to eat the placenta after his baby is born. That is mentioned on http://www.TomCruiseIsNuts.com. Transit Pluto is exactly on Tom's IC and that might be the reason there is so much attention being payed to his extreme exclamations these days. So much that you almost would forget about the grand trine between the Sun, Jupiter and Neptune in his chart. That is an indication pointing at being an actor and/or religious activity. Jupiter and Neptune and the midpoint Jupiter/Neptune are prominent in the charts of popes and the Trappist martyrs you find more about on this site. There is an article about Jupiter and Neptune, but... in Dutch only. BTW Jupiter is the planet for growth and success and Neptune is a.o. the planet of the movies. For those interested in his marriages: he has Mars square Uranus and Moon and Venus square Neptune and Saturn and opposed to the Nodes. Hard indications for divorces and mistakes in love. Venus in hard aspect with the midpoint Uranus/Neptune makes a person fall blindly in love....That might explain the couchjumping in the Oprah! show

DAVID RUMSFELD
The Americain minister of Defense is being critised by the militairy top of the nation. David Rumsfeld is born (according to Star IQ) 9th of July 1932 at 17h40 in Chicago at summertime with a 23d Sagittarius ascendant. The progressed midpoint Ascendant/MC is now square Transit Pluto and that Pluto is aproachoing the progressed MC. This is an indication for the present problems. Pluto in his natal chart is conjunct the Sun. That makes him a fanatic and who wants to win.
11th April 2006
PROVENZANO
One of the most viscious Mob-bosses ever, mr. Provenzano, born in Corleone 31st of January 1933, has been captured. On the day he was born Venus was exactly opposed to Pluto (for giving extreme wishes) and Mars was inconjunct Uranus (for the aggression and violence in his life). No HOB, so this has to be all about this mafioso.
10th april 2006
SILVIO BERLUSCONI
Silvio Berlusconi was born 29th of spetember 1936 at 06h3000 MET in Milano Italy. Today he lost the elections. You see b elow his progressed chart. Saturn is on the progressed IC at the lowest point of the chart to describe that he is really down.
8th April 2006
PRINCE HARRY
Prince Harry was born 16th of september 1984 in London at 16h20m (summertime). Today it was known that he ordered a lapdancer yesterday, to celebrate finishing his militairy training in Sandhurst. As it happens in his progressed chart the planets of sex, sports and militairy power Mars and Pluto are exactly sextile and Jupiter is on the MC for having a party, while the transit Sun is opposing to Venus. In his natal chart Venus is on top. Venus is for diplomacy, art, fun and pleasure (and women). It is said that Harry is a typical playboy… A pity for him is that on his natal MC there is the limiting planet Saturn. That makes him also serious in his job. And he is, as he seems to be sent to Afghanistan or Irak and says that should be done. Below the horizon is the singleton Moon, symbol of the importance of the mother and the youth.
April 2006
NAOMI CAMPBELL
Her progressed Sun squares Uranus and progressed Uranus now that has been revealed that Naomi uses to hit her servants hard. The hot tempered beauty was born with Jupiter on top, Neptune on the MC and the Sun on IC. Venus is inconjunct the ascendant and on Aries Point. And… Mars squares Pluto. That is a hit! Check the data: she was born 22nd of May 1970 at 01 a.m. MET Westminster.
20th of March 2006
OZZY OSBOURNE
Ozzy Osbourne (born in a suburb of Birmingham on 3rd December 1948, time unknown), is in the news today stating that he is unable to have sex anymore due to medication against depression and that even four viagra’s do not help, but that it is boring anyway. Nice to see that Uranus is square his natal Sun (as always when there is sensation) and that Transit Neptune is conjunct his progressed Mars. Mars is the planet of sex…Neptune the planet of the media and of disapointment. There is indeed a connection with the medication against depression. His natal chart has the Sun square Saturn (depression) and Mars in Capricorn is ruled by and trine Saturn.
11th of March 2006
SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC
This morning Slobodan Milosevic (born 20th of August 1941 in Pozarevac) was found dead in his prison cell in Scheveningen. On the day he was born the Sun and Mercury squared Saturn. When he was taken prisoner on April 1st 2001 Transit Saturn was exactly on his natal Sun (being confrontred with responsibilities and guilt). And today Transit Saturn is on his natal Pluto (the disadvantages of an inquiry), Transit Pluto trines his Sun (a sudden end) and the transit Sun is sesquiquadrate Pluto (a day with problems). Pluto (apart from a sextile with Uranus - more generational) is a stand alone in this chart. You can read more about planets having no aspects and playing a mayor role HERE. Progressed Sun this year was inconjunct natal Uranus. This indicates that there were unexpected and negative changes in his life or in his health.
10th of March 2006
DANIEL CRAIG (New James Bond)
When Uranus comes over your Sun you are in the news, but not always in a pleasant way. Daniel Craig (born in Chester, 2nd of March 1968) is confronted with a website called 'craignotbond.com'. And there they say he is not handsome enough to be a James Bond. The Bondfans even want to boycot the movie (Casino Royale) and on the site petitions can be signed against the latest 001. That is Uranus!
MADONNA
She announced to stop acting in movies when Uranus transitted opposed to her Moon in Virgo on the ascendant. Have I ever mentioned before that it is real astrology to become famous with 'Like a Virgin' when the planet of imagining (Moon) with 'just like' in her vocabulairy is in Virgo? She was born 16th of august 1958 at 7h05 in Bay City.
4th of March 2006
BABIC
Warcriminal Babic comitted suicide in his prison cell in Scheveningen in the year that life became more difficult by progression. In the progressed chart Sun squared Pluto. On the day he was born the Sun squared Uranus and was inconjunct Pluto. Pluto opposed to Mars.. He was already a warchild, being born 26th of February 1945 with Sun in Pisces.
1st March 2006
ANGELIKA MERKEL
Angelika Merkel (Germany’s prime minister) was born 17th July 1954 at 19h45. She found out today that she is merited. And that occurs during a transit of Pluto on Mars (her ruler 5th in the first house). According to Bernadette Brady the 5th house is a lucky house. In Angelika’s birth chart Mars and Pluto are trining! There are more aspects today:
- Mars is conjunct her progressed Sun semisquare Uranus. She wants to go ahead with the changes she announced during her campaign.
- Transit Jupiter multiplies her happiness by making a sesquiquadrate aspect with progressed Venus even though the nature of this aspect will be frustrating her a bit.
- At the same time there is a transit of Saturn sextile the progressed Sun. This indicates that she is respected.
In the meantime Uranus is going towards the IC. She might have a surprise waiting! Before she was elected I said she is a contemporary woman who wants to make a change and is sometimes disappointed in that purpose. I said so because of her Sun afflicted by Uranus and Neptune.

KEN LIVINGSTONE, again
The suspension of the London Mayor Ken Livingstone has been postponed during his appeal. The actual remark was made against a jewish reporter who was told that he looked like a concentration camp guard. Livingstone says he will fight his suspension by a commission that has not been elected and he was...BTW The combined transits/progression of Uranus and Pluto indicates drastrical change and unexpected problems.
28th February 2006
KEN LIVINGSTONE
He is suspended for 4 weeks because of nasty and regarded racist (anti jewish) remarks when he was interviewed. He is also known for his idea that the West has produced suicide terrorists themselves. At this moment - now that he is temporarily not in function- this London mayor has transit Pluto opposed to the Sun. Transit Uranus is inconjunct Progressed Pluto. (A lot of stress and pressure.) He is born 17th of June 1945.
GEORGE W. BUSH
Somehow Uranus keeps producing bad news, this time for George W. Bush and his popularity range. Uranus opposes his progressed Sun today. George W. Bush is born 6th July 1946 at 7h26 in New Haven. Progressed Sun is in the 11th degree of Virgo. Uranus in the 11th degree of Pisces. Also SunArc Neptune is semisquare Jupiter.
27th February 2006

DAN BROWN
Transit Uranus is inconjunct progressed Sun and Saturn inconjunct Saturn now that Dan Brown has to appear before the judge accused of robing parts of 'The holy grale' when writing Da Vinci Code. That reaction is rather late..Dan Brown was born 22th June 1964.
GEORGE MICHAEL
The police arrested George Michael last saturdaynight. He was found laying in his car with a certain amount of drugs. Here is the progressed chart of George Michael (born 25th June 1963 in Finchley at about 6h). The descendant progressed to about 17d38 Aquarius. Neptune is at 18d05 Aquarius today. Transit Uranus opposes progressed Pluto. And the 25th Transit Sun was inconjunct Saturn to make it complete. But there is also Transit Jupiter square the horizon. Help is on the way...
Jupiter is on top in his birth chart. But Transit Jupiter today is to be found on the lowest spot of the progressed chart, the IC.
25th February2006
GEORGE HARRISON
It occured to me George Harrison was born 63 years ago today (24th of february 1943 according to my computerastrology programmer, 25th according to Wikipedia). Either way his musical talent shows in Venus sextile Uranus and opposed to Neptune. In Dutch there are two articles about musical talent and they mention the same kind of combinations for musicians (singers): Venus in aspect with Uranus and/or Neptune.
23rd February 2006
KATIE HOLMES
Did Tom Cruise or did Scientology put a spell on her? With Transit Pluto on her Natal Sun (also inconjunct Tom Cruise's Mars - he was born 3th July 1962) you bet something impresses her or changes her... Katie Holmes was born 18th December 1978 in Los Angeles.
The McCartney brothers... PAUL MCCARTNEY
Paul McCartney (18th of June 1942) has progressed Moon square progressed Mercury and transit Pluto opposed to his Sun in the 3rd house today. This might have something to do with his brother Mike....More over as progressed Uranus in Paul's chart reached the degree Mars in his brother Mike's chart is at, the 5th of Gemini. Uranus and Mars, an important combination in the chart of Mike...
MIKE (PETER) MCCARTNEY
The younger brother of Paul is on trial for groping a teenage waitress in 2004 (!). You can find this in his chart in the narrow conjunction of Mars and Uranus (and opposed to Venus). In 2004 Transit Uranus squared this conjunction. Today Saturn makes sextiles to both Mars and Uranus. That makes me think there will be a mild sentence. Unfortunately there is no birth time available for a deeper analysis.
Mars aspecting Uranus: that is good for obstinacy and ill-considered behaviour. In 2004 Transit Uranus squared the natal conjunction. Mars/Uranus is the idea of ‘physical intervention’, says Ebertin. In this case somebody else’s physics were involved…
Maybe he is sued because he told the manager:” Don’t you know who I am?” after the waitress complained. That is how they found out that he once had successes with Scaffold (♫‘Thank you very, very, very much”♫) and of course that he is the brother of Paul. Interesting besides is that the picture of the Sabian degree Janduz had for the 5th degree of Gemini is that of a noble man being thanked by a member of the parliament.
Mike McCartney definitely had talent according to his chart. Venus in Sagittarius opposes Uranus and trines Neptune. That talent was translated into making beautiful photographs and in Scaffold. He never became as famous as his elder brother. Typically for a family relationship where age or position is playing a part in, Saturn is related. Saturn of Paul McCartney is on top of the Mars-Uranus conjunction. The Nodes are involved as well (that is indicating a relationship in general). So is Pluto, perhaps referring to the influence Paul has.
Now that he is on trial the next aspects are to be found in the chart of Mike (7th of January 1944, Liverpool).
Today:
- Transit Jupiter square Progressed Jupiter
- Transit Saturn sextile progressed Uranus
- Transit Saturn sextile progressed Mars (again Mars and Uranus…)
- Transit Pluto trine Jupiter
Longer period:
- Sun arc Venus opposed to Pluto
- Sun arc Mars conjunct Pluto
(Literally: problems – Pluto – with male/female-relations – Venus/Mars)
Maybe it is nice to look at the similarities his chart has with that of Ruud Lubbers, the Dutch United Nations man who lost his job for touching the same body part. Both have an aspect between Mars and Uranus and between Mars and Neptune. Both have a tight conflict between Saturn and Pluto. And both have a mutual reception with Saturn involved. Ruud Lubbers was born the 7th of May 1939 at 10h30 in Rotterdam. And so we find another similarity that would enjoy any ‘numerologer’. They were both born on the 7th.
22nd February 2006
PRINCE CHARLES
Everybody seems to have access to Prince Charles’ personal letters and documents. Now part of his diary has been released. In that diary he gives his view on the decissions government members make during a trip to Hong Kong. And he sighes that it is the end of the Empire, as members of the government travel more luxurious than he does. He tried in vain to prevent this publication. You wonder why he did not succeed? First consider that he has Neptune - the natural ruler of the 12th house of what is behind scenes, privacy and secrets - in the 3rd house of communications. And that the Moon is on top of his chart near the public MC, but the Moon is ....ruler 12. I think the twelfth house has to do with 'the media'...After these considerations read all about this in Times Online.
Progressed Sun is sesquiquadrate progressed Saturn, a frustrating aspect that brings him in an uncomfortable position. Transit Uranus squares progressed MC and that is not favourable for his image. Charles is born the 14th of November 1948 at 21h14 in London. More about his chart...
21st February 2006 RATKO MLADIC
Today Planet Internet reports that Ratko Mladic would be arrested. That is with Mercury on his natal Sun and Transit Saturn frustrating the Sun with a sesquiquadrate aspect. This year Sunarc Uranus will oppose Mars and in the Solar Return Chart Mars conjuncts Uranus. In the natal chart Mars is in Aquarius (ruled by Uranus). And the midpoint Mars/Uranus is at 1d59 close to Zero Aries. Neptune is opposed to this midpoint. Ebertin calls this midpointcombinaton a sign of bad intentions. I would also like to mention secret (Neptune) rebellion (Mars/Uranus). Having Neptune on Aries Point Mladic will be known by the media (Neptune) and as an unreliable person (Neptune) or as an ideologist. He is particulary known for what he did in Srebrenica (on the 11th of July 1995). And that is why it is interesting that the important Neptune in his chart is in the 1st degree of Libra. Janduz pictures this degree as that of an armed man being followed by a man carrying a sable, coming up from behind...
All I know is his birthday (12th March 1943, Sun in Pisces sesquiquadrate Pluto and a Moon in Gemini). The chart now shows: a message (Sun-Mercury), having bad luck (Sun sesquiquadrate Saturn) and a struggle for freedom (Mars-Uranus) or rebellion.
Saturn was in the sign of Neptune - Pisces - and Neptune in the sign of Saturn - Capricorn - exactly in the same degree - 25th- in mutual reception, Mars opposed to Saturn and in harmony with Neptune
About Srebrenica: this was the so called protected UN area in Yugoslavia that was captured on the 11th of July t1995. Te day of the events Mars opposed to Saturn (hard agression) and Neptune trined Mars and sextiled Saturn (covering the violent events). Like in the chart of Mladic Neptune plays an important part. The leading officer of Dutch Bat was pictured toasting with Mladic. Pictures and alcohol also are part of the meanings Neptune has. Mladic's Sunarc Vulcanus - the indication of violence - squared natal Neptune that summer and Sunarc Mars semisquared Neptune. It is clear Neptune is playing an important part in the events and in the chart of Mladic'. And that importance is indicated by Neptune on Zero Aries, being ruler of his natal Sun..
20th February 2006
DAVID IRVING
Today David Irving got 3 years jail for denying the holocaust for years, although today he said he believed millions of Jews died in the days of the Nazis. Too late, apparently. He is born 24th of March 1938, but I do not know his hour of birth. Sun, Venus, Mercury and Saturn are in Aries, squaring the Moon. Mars, ruler of the stellium in Aries, conjuncts Uranus: that makes a rebel. A creative fire-and-earth combination with Mercury inconjunct Neptune: fantasy and/or being blind for facts or fraude. Pluto has no other aspect than a trine with the Nodes: seeking challenges and influence (with success – trine).
Today progressed Saturn conjuncts Venus (Lady of Justice?). Transit Neptune semisquare Sun for disappointment. Transit Pluto sesquiquadrate Uranus (a radical change).
19th of February 2006
MICHAEL CHERTOFF
You know why Michael Chertoff is still in function though he was blamed for the bad aid after Katrina? He is born 28th November 1953 and presently has Transit Saturn trine his Sun. An aspect Saturn-Sun is not easy, but a trine is...
JOEY CHEECK
He won 2 medals at the Olympic Winter Games in Torino. His date of birth is 22th of Juni 1979 and everybody thinks he is sympathic. His Moon is conjunct Venus in Gemini, sextile Jupiter and square Saturn. His Mars in Taurus has progressed to the 17th degree and that is trine Pluto and Progressed Pluto. Mars trine Pluto indicates an enormous effort and the use of force and power that ends up in winnig (Pluto) a battle (Mars).
PS I just heard that he donates the money he won to the children in Daffour (Africa).
17th February 2006
DEBBIE ROWE
She is the natural mother of the two childrren Michael Jackson has, Debbie Rowe, born 14th of May 1959 in LA. In her chart the Sun opposes Jupiter and Mercury opposed to Neptune. Also Venus opposes Saturn. These oppositions indicate a tendency in times of trouble for blaming others, making up stories and being rather materialistic when affection is concerned. The last aspect is very important as Venus rules her Sun in Taurus. It is interesting to see that Venus is in the 'mothersign' of Cancer, while the Moon in Leo conjunct Uranus expresses a desire to be free and independant. In a way that is how she 'did it'. Michael Jackson takes care of the children and she is the visiting parent. Recently the judge has said that in spite of a contract she is allowed to still see her children (born 13th of February 1997 and 3rd April 1998).

WALL STREET
Wall Street happily jumped up during and after the speech of the man after Greenspan, Bernanke. Reason: analist saw them operating in the same way and expect continuity. I wrote about the similarities between the two before:
16th February 2006
MADONNA IN HOSPITAL
A few days ago Madonna was in hospital for minor surgery (a hernia) when the progressed MC was semisquare Progressed Mars and Transit Mars was between Mars and MC. Mars is the planet for knifes, scars, cutting and surgery. She was born 16th of August 1958 in Bay City at 7h05 a.m.
P|S DICK CHENEY
There is a lot of joking going on about Dick Cheney that refers to his tendency to reveal or be secretive. Dick Cheney has the Moon in Pisces opposed to Neptune and that is a good indication for that attitude.
14th February 2006
LIZA MINELLI IN SCHEVENINGEN
Tonight there is a performence of Liza Minelli in Scheveningen (village near The Hague) and it is bound to be a succesful one. Venus is on het MC. Transit Sun trines Jupiter at exactly 23 hours local time. She was born 12 march 1946 at 7h58 in Los Angeles.
MORE DICK CHENEY
The friend Dick Cheney shot has little bullits in his heart and ...had a little heartattack. That happened with Transit Mars on the MC of Dick Cheney and Transit Moon on the ascendant. Apparently the news struck him (Mars) and emotioned him (Moon).
13th February 2006
DICK CHENEY
Dick Cheney accidentally shot a friend instead of a quail when Mars was positioned between Uranus (accidents/firends) and the MC. Mars also sextiled the progressed MC. The slightly wounded millionaire was in the hospital soon. It is said that Cheney always has an ambulance with him when he goes hunting. He is born 30th Januari 1941 at 19h30 in Lincoln Nebraska. Transit Sun was squaring Uranus on Saturday, day of the event. More about solar transits here...

MICHELLE KWAN
An injury of the groin stopped Michelle Kwan at the Olympics in Torino. She was born 7th of July 1980 with the Sun in the 16th degree of Cancer. Her progressed Sun is now in the 10th degree of Leo, exactly inconjunct Uranus. An inconjunct is an aspect of 'having to let go'. Uranus is always there when there is news.
11th February 2006
GEORGE W> BUSH
More and more scandals around the policy of George W. Bush (born 6th of July 1946 at 7h26 in New Haven). His government knew what Katrina did to New Orleans and waited 24 hours to start helping. And today there are revalations about the beginnning of the Iraqui War and provocations planned by the president before. Uranus (planet of news and scandals) is transitting in the 10th degree of Pisces, opposed to G.W.'s planet Mars (ruler MC) and is heading up towards a confrontation with the progressed Sun. Saturn was on the ascendant of the president during Katrina and due to a retrograde period has come back within orb to conjunct the ascendant. Saturn is the symbol of blame and judgement and...delay. You can see his data and chart in the article about USA presidents.

DOG and ASTROLOGY
It is the Chinese year of the dog, but there is nothing Chinese in this story about astrology and a dog. A very sweet dog in my family had her uterus removed today. She is born on the 14th of April of 1999. On the day of the surgery by progression the aspect 'Venus opposed to Pluto' in her natal chart perfected. So there is Progressed Venus opposed to Pluto, indication for female problems. Transit Saturn squares Mars (indicating possible pain or hurt) and Transit Uranus is semisquare Sun and sesquiquadrate Pluto. That means a sudden event (Uranus) changing (Pluto) life or body (Sun). Is not astrology a wonderful thing to study?
4rd February 2006
CARTOONS
Right now Jupiter squares Neptune. Both are the planets of religion, conviction and ideology and they are in conflict. See the image:
3rd February 2006
MADONNA
It seems there is another person in Madonna’s life and that here marriage is ending. Madonna was born 16th of august 1958 at 7h05 EST in Bay City. Uranus was right in between Sun and Venus and that is the perfect image of ‘the other’ inbetween marriagelife. Venus is squaring Neptune, ruler of the seventh house of marriage and relationships. Apart form these indications in her natal chart Transit Uranus has recently passed the descendant and entered the 7th house. Last year Transit Saturn crossed over Venus and Saturns’nature is to expose the failures and mistakes. While this message is placed Venus is conjunct the progressed IC and Neptune is inconjunct. A combination that says that her name (MC) is involved with a love affair or a disappointing relationship (Venus-Neptune)…See the picture below

PRINCE FILIP
The Belgian successor to the thrown Filip (born 15th of Arpil 1960 at 9h40 a.m. in Brussel) is in the news today. The papers mention that behind the scenes there would be a gouvernment discussion about the future position of the king, as there would be doubts about his abilities. This happens to him right after transit Uranus came over the MC and while Uranus is exactly square the progressed Sun. Uranus is often active in the (progressed or natal) chart of persons in the news.......
OPRAH's surprise special guest: MARY J. BLIGE
I personally think Mary J. Blige touches your deepest emotions...OK, I am a fan. Mary J. Blige will be Oprah's special guest today. She was born 11th of January 1971 in the Bronx and they call her Queen of R&B. She has Venus and Neptune conjunct in Sagittarius (and some of the most famous lady singers have Venus in Sagittarius in aspect with either Uranus or Neptune!), also conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio. She lacks the element of air (carreer women often lack an element) and fact is that Oprah has a lot of air, so that will be complementary today! Have fun!
29th of January 2006
BERLUSCONI CNN reportsthat the Italian prime minister Berlusconi publically promised a TV-preacher not to have sex until the elections. This challenching promise was made exactly on the day that progressed ascendant in Scorpio trined the planet of all challenges, Pluto. Pluto is in his public natal hous. In the progressed chart Pluto balances on the edge between the eigth house of sex and challanges and the ninth of conviction, belief and vision.
CHINESE YEAR OF THE DOG
Today the Chinese year of the dog started. As this is a western astrologers'site, so you will not find information about Chinese signs here, but you can find it under this link.

POPE BENEDICT
Pope Benedict the 16th will visit Turkye in November 2006 under remarkable astrological conditions. Transit Pluto, ruler 9th house of travelling and conviction, will be exactly on his MC. Saturn, natally in the 9th, trines his Sun. Uranus rules the progressed ninth house. This planet is trining the progressed ascendant in november. Jupiter -natural ruler of the ninth houses, travelling and convictions – is sesquiquadrate the progressed ascendant in November. Three indications for a trip…You find his chart in the article about Popes.

MOZART
Today 250 years ago the composer Mozart was born. Time for celebrations and for an article about the chart of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and about his progressions.
What happened between 18 and 24th of January?
BON JOVI
His guardian angel was at work when the plain of Bon Jovi went of the landing track and he got out unharmed. Venus, the good ('bon' in French)planet, was on his IC! Jovi is a name that has to do with Jupiter. Progressed Jupiter was on his Progressed IC at the time! And Pluto (the indicator of cases of life and death) beautifully trines his progressed Sun. Bon Jovi is born the 2nd of March 1962 at 20h45 according to Astrotheme. BTW For those interested in Vulcanus: the progressed midpoint between Vulcanus (!) and Vertex is exactly on his progressed descendant at the time..
PAMUK
Good news for the Turkish autor Pamuk (born 7th of June 1952). He will no longer be prosecuted for the fact that he has published about the fate of the Armenians. His transits are not yet full of confidence. Jupiter is inconjunct the Sun and Neptune is trining the Sun. But Saturn is coming back to a conjunction with his progressed Sun in june.
EVO MORALES
Born 26th of October 1959, being inaugerated as the first Indian president of Bolivia 22nd Januari 2006, Evo Morales. There are a few things that jump out of his chart. Mars in between Sun and Neptune making a small trine with Pluto and Saturn. I hop the small trine Mars-Saturn-Pluto will beware him of the danger that is announced by the midpoint Mars conjunct Saturn/Pluto (unnatural death). He calls himself the nightmare of the USA and yes, his Neptune squares the ascendant of George W. Bush. Morales has 4 planets in Scorpio (a.o. Sun) and 2 in Leo (a.o. Moon). That indicates a person with a strong will. That he used to work with cocaine is to be found in the stellium Sun, Mars, Neptune. But Neptune is not only drugs. Neptune also is the planet for idealism.
WILLEM HOLLEEDER
According to Planet Internet Willem Holleeder (born 29th may 1958) has two choices only: to be arrested or to be murdered. Willem Holleeder is the man that kidnapped Heineken. His father used to work for that company until he became an alcoholic and got unemployed. Holleeder should be the man behind a couple of murders. The victims were criminals as well. It seems Willem likes to beat hard…Lots of his partners and enemies in crime have been liquidated in the past year. It seems it is all about revenge and having power. You can see the way he uses his muscles and aggression in the chart even without HOB. I took Mars on the ascendant because of his prominent nose and the position Saturn (his father) gets: on top. But it is still a composed chart! But planets and aspect between them are real: Mars is exactly square Saturn and semi square Uranus ( a combination for a violent way to solve tensions). Venus – planet of pleasures - is on the midpoints of Mars/Pluto and Saturn Pluto, a deadly combination indicating unnatural death. Transit Uranus was in December square his Sun, so the question is: has he been arrested or captured already?
IBRAHIM RUGOVA DIED (21st of January)
Just when he was about to become the president of an independent Kosova Ibrahim Rugova (born 2nd of December 1944) died when (just like Wilson Pickett) when his progressed Sunin the 13th degree of Aquarius was right on the midpoint Transit Saturn /Transit Neptune.
WILSON PICKETT DIED
Soulman Wilson Pickett (18th March 1941) died 19th of January 2006 at the moment Sun in Pisces was right in-between Transit Saturn and Transit Neptune, the planets of illness. In his natal chart Sun is opposed to Neptune. One of the various possible interpretations of that is weakness (Neptune) of the heart (Sun).
BLAST IN TEL AVIV
A blast in Tel Aviv was a suicide action killing the man who threw the bomb and hurting several persons around him. It happened 19th of January 14h37 in Tel Aviv. See the chart below. Uranus, planet of the spark, the unexpected, arrest, accidents and news,…is right on the MC. Pluto is on the descendant square the Moon in the fourth house (hurting the people) Mars, planet of aggression, squares Neptune en is opposed to Jupiter. Jupiter and Neptune together is pointing at religion, as you can read in the article about popes.

JOHNSON SHIRLEAF/BACHELET/THATCHER
Remarkable, I think, that those three female presidents share combinations of Saturn and Pluto or Capricorn and Scorpio (rules by resp. Saturn and Pluto)in their charts. Die-hard aspects are apparently a must to make it when you are a woman:)
Thatcher(13th of October 1925) has Sun square Pluto and Saturn prominent on the Scorpio ascendant.
Ellen Johnson Shirleaf (29th of October 1938) is now president of Liberia. She studied economy and has 4 children. She is divorced. Like Thatcher she has Sun square Pluto. Her Sun is in Scorpio and her Moon in Capricorn.
Michelle Bachelet (Chili) is single too. She has Sun in a tight conjunction with Saturn and semisquare Pluto. She was born 29th of September 1951.

THATCHER, the musical
Hard to believe, but the life and ways of Margareth Thatcher were inspiring someone to write a musical with songs like 'Me and my handbag'. Thatcher, the musical, will not be unnoticed by the Iron Lady. With Saturn in Scorpio on the ascendant not a surprising nickname for this charming diplomate...(Yes, she was if she liked to; she has Venus in the first house and a hard and fanatic attitude). Her name is in the Times and Neptune the planet of media, gossip and music, is transit square her ascendant while Jupiter (for joy) is fastly approaching (April) and then (in July) Saturn is coming up to make another square and put her down. Hmm. does this mean she does not like the way they present her in the press at the moment? Here below is her chart.
CLARENCE RAY ALLEN/SCHWARZENEGGER
In 1982 Clarence Ray Allen was convicted for paying hired killers fur the murder of three witnesses in 1980. One of the victims was a 17-year old girl. For this serious crime Arnold Schwarzenegger wants the old man to die after 24 years in prison. Pluto is at play again. Allens’Pluto is right on Schwarzeneggers’Mercury and near his ascendant. See Stanley Tookie Williams case in the files of 2005, where Pluto was taking part also.
Allen, born 16th of january 1930, had 50% of his planets in earthsigns, a strong Saturn in Capricorn, Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Leo and Pluto opposes Sun, Moon and Mars. These are indications for a hard and ambitious character with a difficult life and problems with health. Unnatural death (of his or others) is seen in the midpoints Mars makes with a.o. Saturn/Pluto and Sun/Saturn and Uranus/Pluto.
On the day he is supposed to die (one day after his birthday) transit Saturn squares the Nodes and transit Pluto trines progressed Venus. It is Venus return day for him, transit Sun is square both progressed Venus and Jupiter and transit Mercury conjunct Venus. Solar Arc Pluto squares Saturn (but that is more generational). If Arnold had not yet denied parole I would have thought that he would get mercy just in time with these Venus aspects involved. But of course I do not have the time of birth for Allen and…maybe this injection is a soft way to die for a sick old man. Last year, with progressed Sun conjunct progressed Uranus, he had to be resuscitated after having a heart attack (..!)…Finally: in 1980 (time of the crime) Clarence had the Sun semisquare Vulcanus, the supposed to be planet (?) that appears in the charts of people whenever there is a threat or violence.

TONY BLAIR
Tony Blair for secretary-general of the United Nations? Clinton is backing him. And so are the stars. Progressed Jupiter first trines natal Moon in may and end of december (when Kofi Anan resigns) progressed Moon trines his Jupiter. But there are a few steps to take as progressed Sun semisquares progressed Pluto and then there are transit Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune making hard aspects to his Sun, Pluto and Moon. That makes it a tiresome 2006...You can see Tony Blairs' chart HERE.
MICHAEL PALIN
A "bad example", that is what he is, as he did not only travel a lot himself but also inspired crowds of people to follow in his footsteps... Michael Palin is under fire.He is president of a leading environmental group called Transport 2000 and they want him to stop defending his passion for long-distance air travel. This happens while iin his Solar Return chart Jupiter is on the meridian (on the IC). And of course there is Uranus. Sunarc Uranus joins the ascendant for bringing his 'ways' in the news. You can check his birthdata: 5th of may 1943, at 11:43 am in Sheffield.

MARY J. BLIGE
The R&B singer Mary J. Blige (recently, on th 11th, had her 35th birthday) warns animal activist not to throw paint at her fur coats. She likes to wear them. Now she has Venus in Sagittarius, the sign of hunting. Would it be that?

THEO VAN GOGH
In Holland there is a trial going on against a group of friends of the murderer of Theo van Gogh (the director). Here below is the progressed chart surrounded by today's transits. It speaks for itself. I see Uranus on the meridian every time a person is in the news.
12th of january 2006
MEHMET ALI AGCA
It seems the release of Agca is very controversial in Turkey and he might be arrested again after or during a review of his trial. Uranus (symbol of freedom, but also of the denial of it) is on his progressed Sun and moving back and forwards, causing lots of tension. See 9th of January. Agca is the man that shot the pope, but he also murdered a Turkish journalist.

DAVID BOWIE
David Bowie is to receive a Grammy for his life work on th 8th of february 2006 Here you see his solar return chart with a proud Jupiter on top, on the MC!
January 9th 2006
JOHN LENNON Astrodatabank has a discussion about the chart of John Lennon (9th of october 1940) at the very moment. ..
QUEEN BEATRIX
Dutch Queen Beatrix has been operated (she got an artificial knee) and the doctors say the operation succeeded. But...today it was announced that she suffers from pneumonia while Mercury (the planet ruling air and lungs) is on the MC. She was operated when Saturn was squaring Uranus (a heavy operation) and Saturn in Leo is opposing the stellium in Aquarius that she has in the equal 10th house. Check for data: she was born at Soestdijk, 31st of january 1938 at 9h27 GMT. Today progressed Moon is exactly on the midpoint of illnesses: Saturn/Neptune (she might feel sick). About march/april 2006 Uranus will transit her progressed MC, so I bet she will be mentioned on this newspage again..
MEHMET ALI AGCA
Twenty five years after he shot the Pope he is to be released: Mehmet Ali Agca, born in Yesillite, Turkey at 9th of january 1958 (so this is his birthday...). Transit Uranus moves over his progressed Sun (changes in life) and Pluto is on Mercury and sesquiquadrate Uranus (lots of stress), Transit Neptune is on Venus.
MICHEL FOURNIRET
Michel Fourniret is to be transferred from Belgium to France monday as it was in France that he committed most of the crimes you can find by simple googling 'Fourniret'. I attached a 23h chart (I do not know his hour of birth!) for the 4th of april 1942 in Sedan (at the time Belgium, now France), as in that case Moon has entered Sagittarius (and more serial killers had that Moon position instead of Scorpio). The tightest aspect is Venus inconjunct Neptune (often an indication for 'strange ways' in love and sex) followed by Mercury opposed to Neptune (lying) and Venus square Uranus (being adventurous in love or experimenting). Also Mars semisquares Pluto (sometimes an indication for using force or violence, read about it in the article). And Sun semisquares Uranus.
Interesting is that on Aries Point is the afflicted Mercury on the midpoints Sun/Jupiter, Sun/Mars, Uranus/Pluto and Saturn/Pluto. Somewhere in that combination lies a Mars/Saturn/Pluto indication for unnatural death causes. At this time transit Jupiter is inconjunct his natal Sun and progressed Sun is conjunct Jupiter. Neptune trines his progressed Sun. I hope that will not lead to his escape, like was the case with Dutroux.

AGAIN and MORE SHARON
Re: 5th january:
By now I know time and place of birth of Ariel Sharon: 27th february 1928 at 7:49 am in Kafr Malal (43N11 and 34E54) Israël. That means his progressed MC is also square T Pluto, just like progressed Sun. With the conjunction of Uranus on his natal Sun that gives 3 indications. Three or more indication at the time indicate (generally) a major event.
This is the chart of Sharon.
The fire and watercombination shows that he is emotionally driven: Pluto, ruler eight equal house of life and death, is isolated exactly on the lowest spot of the chart. That shows the importance of his background (the defence of the grouup, the death of his wifes and son).
The square Pluto makes with the ascendant is indicative for his brutal way of doing things. He was called: the bulldozer. The MC is right in the middle of Mars and Saturn and is squared by Jupiter. According to Ebertin that indicates the ability to destroy and recover. Mercury ruler 6 is conjunct Mars/Jupiter. That makes him a fast decissionmaker.
Most narrow aspects are the MC square Jupiter and sextile Sun (two indications for succes and great ambition).
Sharon lost a wife in 1962 during Transit Saturn conjunct progressed MC and Transit Pluto opposed to the Sun. He married her younger sister. She died in 2000 with progressed Sun inconjunct Saturn and progressed MC square Saturn, Transit Saturn and Jupiter squared his progressed Sun.
During the attacks on Palistine refugeecamps in 1953 and 1982 progressed MC was square Vulcanus (the violence indicator) and progressed Mars semisquared progressed Uranus. In 1982 the progressed ascendant opposed to Saturn and transit Jupiter opposed to the Sun.
In january of 2004 he was accused of curroption. Transit Saturn was opposed to the MC at the time, right after making a conjunction with Pluto. Progressed or transit Saturn/Pluto combinations in the charts op politicians often cause disadvantages due to inquiries (like is happening now in the chart of Bush, with Saturn on Mercury ruler 11 and aproaching Pluto).
Now (january 2006) during his operations Uranus is on the Sun and Transit Pluto is afflicting the progressed Sun and progressed MC.

BAD REICHENHALL ACCIDENT
Chart of Bad Reichenhall (Germany), 2n of january 2006 about 16.00 hours, the moment the roof of the icehall collapsed.
The equal house chart shows MooonNodes on top semisquare the midpoint Saturn/Uranus (serious accident) with a 0.1 d org. Uranus is right on the MC, indicating a sudden event. Both Uranus and MC are on Saturn/Ascendant and Saturn/Nodes. The midpointcombination Mars/Saturn/Pluto (indicative for unnatural death events) is activated 3 times*), using a 22.5 d dial. Saturn is within 2 d of Ascendant/MC (I include that because I doubt it was EXACTLY at 16.00 hours) and in mutual reception with the Capricorn Sun that is sesquiquadrate Black Moon.
*)explanation: there are midpointcombinations of Mars with Saturn/Pluto, Saturn with Mars/Pluto and Pluto with Mars/Saturn.
January 5th 2006
TALLMANSVILLE MINING DISASTER This is the chart for the moment of the mining disaster in Tallmansville. Pluto and Mercury are on the ascendant, sesquiquadrate Saturn. Pluto symbolises danger and 'the underworld'. Mercury air and gasses. All tree are in opposition with the midpoint Mars/Saturn (indicating together: unnatural death) and semisquare the midpoint Sun/Uranus (enormous change or explosion). The MC is exactly in the middle of Saturn and Pluto+ ascendant and makes a sesquiquadrate with Mars/Pluto (another statement of death and danger). And again there is Vulcanus on a significant position: square Saturn/MC. Two midpointcombinations are perfected: Cheiron semisquare Neptune/MC and Saturn opposed to Sun/Uranus. This all qualifies for the rule of 3 (there need to be more than 3 indications)...
ARIEL SHARON
Ariel Sharon was born 27th of february 1928. That makes a Sundegree of 8th Pisces. Transit Uranus is at 8th Pisces now, too. Uranus brings shocks, news and repeted events. At the same time Pluto is inconjunct the progressed Sun of Ariel Sharon, endagering his health in a way that he is to change the way he lives completely.

TOM DELAY, ABRAMOFF AND BUSH
Very interesting development in the republican party fraude case, considering the astrological aspects..These are the data:.Abramoff was born 28st of february 1958, Tom Delay on 8th of april 1947 at 21h47 in Laredo and George W. Bush 6th of july 1947 at 7h26m in New Haven. And these are the actual positions and relationships: Tom DeLay's Venus inconjunct Neptune (to be interpreted as: wrong relations and missing possessions) is conjunct Abramoff's Sun. Abramoff himself has Venus square Neptune, the same kind of conflict as his friend has. His Pluto (power and influence) is right upon the MC (position/image) of DeLay. At the moment transit Saturn is inconjunct Abramoff's Sun, making him depressed. While Uranus is on his way back to make another conjunction with that Sun. And Uranus is the planet of arrests, news and sensation. All the while republican president George W.Bush has Saturn in the first house (being blamed...) on Mercury, ruler of the eleventh house of friends and partymembers...
DONALD TRUMP
Donald Trump, born 14th of june 1946 at 8h51m am in Queens, has Neptune aproaching his descendant. Quit right, given these conditions, that he decided not to run for governor this year.

BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE, pregnant?
Brad Pitts' chart is to be seen HERE, Angelina is born 4th june 1975 9h09 am Los Angeles, with Venus on the ascendant, both squared by Uranus ruler 8 and Uranus semisquare Sun. Today
News of the World brought the news that 'friends' of the couple said Angelina was pregnant. Her natal Saturn squares the MC and this summer T Saturn will square progressed MC.That might be an indication, particulary as NOW Saturn trines Mars (ruler 5) and Neptune (in 5) and the fifth is the house of children. But we also know that her children are to be adopted by Brad Pitt...
As for Brad: Mars and Jupiter (the procreative planetcombination) were on the meridian lately...
In the bookshop you find a selection of astrology books.
Lord Alfred Tennyson wrote:
*** ex libris "Maud"
Here will I lie, while these long branches sway,
And you fair stars that crown a happy day
Go in and out as if at merry play,
Who am no more so all forlorn,
As when it seemed far better to be born
To labour and the mattock-hardened hand,
Than nursed at ease and brought to understand
A sad astrology, the boundless plan
That makes you tyrants in your iron skies,
Innumerable, pitiless, passionless eyes,
Cold fires, yet with power to burn and brand
His nothingness into man.
You see the radix with transits and progressed Ascendant. The midpoint Saturn/Ascendant is conjunct progressed Ascendant. And both Uranus and Pluto (sudden change) contact the Mercury-Saturn opposition (restricted transportation) on the horizon (by sesquisquare and inconjunct). Mercury, Saturn and Pluto are connected to the degree of the progressed ascendant, making a square, inconjunct and trine. A hard confrontation with facts...
 at 14th October 1975 with Sun on the midpoints Saturn/Pluto (for being a ‘die hard’) and Uranus/Pluto (for being very tensed) in opposition with Jupiter (for self confidence). Saturn is exactly square Uranus in his chart (demanding great efforts of oneself). Pluto is oriental (ahead of the Sun) and making hard aspect with the midpoints Sun/Mars and Mars/Jupiter (a combination of succes). <br><br>
Floyd Landis shares the aspect Mars trine Uranus with Tour de France runners like Joop Zoetemelk, Lance Armstrong, Henk Kuiper and Van der Velde. It seems to be THE bikers aspect.<br><br>
A limited view on progressions and transits (no hour of birth): Jupiter is semi square Pluto today and both are making aspects with Neptune and Pluto in his chart. Transit Mars is semi square his Jupiter (success) and in the solar return chart Mars is close to Jupiter as well.
