Mercury is the planet of communications, transportation and moving around. Mercury is also the planet of information. Here is some
information of what I found about the way Mercury sometimes works:
1. For passing messages
6th January 2007
STANISLAV WIELGUS
Stanislav Wielgus is the archbishop to be of the Polish city of Warshaw. He was born 23rd April 1939 with Sun in Taurus and Moon in
Gemini. Saturn was (possibly peregrine) oriental and Mercury was peregrine (not aspected). That shows that he is first of all a
conservative (and maybe a person who is very carefull and easily scared). It also point at the importance of communication and
passing through messages (Gemini and Mercury!). That is exactly what he did. He was a spy for the communist government and was
rewarded for that.
2. For telling tales
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).
3. For writing and mental illness
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.
4. Mistaken communications
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.
5. Transportation
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 chance of being
damaged and wounded.
- Pluto oriental opposed to Saturn/Node: dying together.
(a hard confrontation in a group)
Mercury comes up in all of these cases...
