Pope Francis

Pope Francis: 17 December 1936, no birth time, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Noon chart (time unknown). Click to enlarge. 

Here are my thoughts on the new Pope Francis. No birth-time has emerged for him**, so I'm going to make some observations based on the planetary noon positions only. They're not all-encompassing, they're what interested me, and I've included minor planets that appear in significant positions and seem to add to the picture.

Firstly, to state the obvious, Francis' Sun is in late Sagittarius (25Sa31), conjunct the North Node (24Sa16R) and the Galactic Centre (25Sa58). Sagittarius is a good sign for a Pope (philosopher-priest) and this position would seem to be particularly powerful. The North Node here suggests that this was always going to be his direction of travel. Add to that the fact that Quaoar (pronounced 'kwah-war') was at 25Sa29 when Francis stepped out onto the balcony to greet the crowds, incidentally at 20:12 local time on 13^th March. Now, Quaoar was the name given to the creative force by the Tongva people of Southern California. Not officially a planet but a Trans-Neptunian or Kuiper Belt Object, Quaoar seems to support harmonious revolution, helping us surrender to the creative forces governing life and death. Additionally, it inspires us to acknowledge the sacredness of life and respect the natural order. Astronomically, its orbit is virtually circular and is only slightly tilted to the ecliptic plane, unlike most other Kuiper Belt objects. This suggests it has a far gentler and more balanced influence than many of its companions. Because Quaoar moves slowly, it's been on this point for some time and will hang around there for a while yet. It suggests a benign and positive influence on the Pope at the time of his election.

There's a loose conjunction between the Sun and Jupiter-Ceres, which are in Capricorn – Jupiter at 3Cp27 and Ceres at 4Cp31. Again, this would seem a very appropriate combination for a Pope: the philosopher-priest alongside Mother Church, with Ceres' glyph also resembling the bishop's crook. The fact that Jupiter and Mercury (11Cp14) are both in Capricorn suggests a conservative mindset (not unusual among holders of high office in the Catholic Church), but as a Jesuit he's likely to have independence of mind and a radical social conscience that transcends the usual dualities of left and right or traditional and liberal.

Both Mercury and Venus (7Aq09) rise after the Sun, so are evening stars. This indicates that Francis is reflective rather than impulsive in both his intellectual and emotional response to issues. He'll take his time to think things through, and won't be hurried into making decisions.

Returning to the Jupiter-Ceres conjunction, this is being squared by Eris (2Ar50) and opposed by Makemake (6Ca38). Both these have dwarf planet status. Makemake was the creator-god of Rapa Nui (Easter Island). Every year the islanders held a competition to see who would be the first to get a sea swallow egg from a precarious breeding site at the tiny islet of Moto Nui. This was a high-adventure contest, requiring contestants to traverse dangerous cliffs and swim through shark-infested waters. Needless to say, not all contestants survived. I chuckled when I read this. Okay, maybe the conclave was not quite as dangerous as this, but I'm sure it was still quite an ordeal.

Astrologers are still getting to know Makemake, but some suggestions for what he symbolises are:

- leadership as protector and provider for the people (Francis is the Good Shepherd of his Flock);

- proper use of resources, both natural and financial (until we discovered them, the Easter islanders were managing very well on a small speck of land in a vast ocean with no natural source of fresh water. At one time, their population was as high as 13,000. After we'd carried some of them off into slavery and given smallpox to the rest, it was reduced to 111. It's now back to around 5,000. Population control is, of course, one of the contentious issues that Catholicism has to deal with);

- heeding the signs of the times and creating environmental conditions supportive of a healthy, prosperous and abundant life for all souls (not sure that the Pope will embrace environmentalism, but as the Good Shepherd he should be concerned with the welfare of those in his care, in every sense. He must also heed the concerns about priestly misdeeds and the like, because the Church is so badly damaged by the various scandals swirling around it).

So Makemake is opposite Jupiter and Ceres. He has won the greatest prize, but perhaps it'll be a bit of a poisoned chalice. We're hearing about some possible dark deeds in his past (but then, after 76 years on this earth it'd be surprising if there weren't any). More important are all the controversies facing the Catholic Church. Square to both of these father-god figures (at 2Ar50) is Eris, Goddess of Strife and Discord. Eris is a Daughter of Night. Her fury knows no bounds. Feeling slighted when she was the only goddess not invited to a wedding (would you invite Strife to your wedding?), she set in motion events that eventually led to the Trojan War. That's taking things to extremes! This is the rage and fury of the victims of the Church. Eris is also about natural justice (and has been suggested as the ruler of Libra). This is something that Francis will have to deal with, especially as Eris is currently at 21Ar58 – opposite his natal Mars (19Li17). Some say that Mars and Eris were siblings, by the way. Unlike Quaoar, Eris has a very eccentric orbit. She's inclined to the ecliptic by 45^o (we used to think Pluto's inclination of 17^o was extreme) and her path is so elliptical it takes her in as far Neptune's orbit at one extreme and out into the unknown regions beyond the Kuiper Belt at the other. She is virtually at her furthest from us at the moment, and as a result she'll spend around 120-130 years in Aries. That's why Francis' Eris is only on 2Ar50, despite her having first entered Aries in 1922. Again, Eris is operating very much on a collective level and one that goes beyond a single generation. It's perhaps not surprising therefore that Francis, as Head of the Church, has Eris in such a prominent position. He has to put the Church on a path that will ensure its survival well into the future – it's not a sticking-plaster job.

The Saturn-Neptune opposition (at 16Pi29-18Vi57 respectively) can be interpreted in a number of ways. It could represent the growing struggle between faith and materialism during Francis' lifetime. He wasn't a supporter of liberation theology (a very Neptunian concept!) but he wasn't keen on the relentless advance of market societies, either. There again it could be the practical demonstration of his faith and compassion (such as washing the feet of AIDS sufferers). It could even represent the presence of both science and religion in his life: he trained as a chemist initially, and later went on to teach theology. His progressed Sun at the time he became Pope was at 12Pi52 – about 2.5-3 years away from his natal Saturn. I wonder if this suggests anything about the length of his papacy?

Some final thoughts (not necessarily astrological ones):

Back to Jupiter again. Does Jupiter in Capricorn represent his simple lifestyle? I know Jupiter is usually associated with good living rather than austerity, but Capricorn has a miserly side to it. I like the way he got on the bus with the rest of the cardinals after his election, and when he turned up at his lodgings to settle the bill the following day. Somehow I can't see Benedict doing that. By the way, everyone assumed he'd taken the name Francis because, like St Francis of Assisi, he lived a simple and humble life. However, he's a Jesuit, not a Franciscan. It's just as likely that he took the name in memory of St Francis Xavier, one of the early Jesuits who did missionary work in Asia and who was canonised on 12^th March 1622 (the conclave began on 12^th March). Nevertheless, the message Francis of Assisi received from God does seem very apt: 'Francis, rebuild my Church. It is in ruins.'

And in case you're wondering how he stands regarding the prophecies of Malachy, the final pope on the list is Petrus Romanus and has often been referred to as the Black Pope. Indeed, many were expecting a black pope this time. Well, whilst this title didn't apply to Francis himself as he wasn't their leader, the head of the Jesuit order is known colloquially as 'the black pope.' 

Update 16/03/13:  At a press conference today, he confirmed he took his name from St Francis of Assisi and - for probably the first time in the Church's history - the Pope said it should be a 'Church  for the Poor.'  He also said that humanity 'was not having a good relationship with Nature at the moment' so maybe he'll take more of an interest in the environment than I thought. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21812545 

**Update - a 9pm birth time was unearthed for the pope through Astrodatablog - details here. giving 10 Cancer rising, and Uranus conjunct the Taurus MC.

Oscar Pistorius

Quote “You're not disabled by the disabilities you have, you are able by the abilities you have"

 

Oscar Pistorius Natal Chart

Fascinating chart! Ascendant and all personal planets are in fixed signs suggesting incredible strength and tenacity. Following the recent charges of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on Valentine’s Day there is no surprise to find a Scorpio stellium at the height of the chart around the MC.(Hero to Murderer overnight!) Karmically, the Sun is on the degree of atonement for Scorpio, (exact midpoint of Pluto and Uranus), Venus is Retrograde in Scorpio (Detriment) and Mercury is at the height of its station in Scorpio. Publicly he has endured years of political battling to fight for the right as a disabled athlete to compete in able-bodied competition. On a personal level it could be imagined that there would be karmic themes around misuse of power and control within volatile relationships. This is further emphasised by Natal Pluto conjunct Venus, Square Moon in Leo. Over-dramatic behaviour may not be uncommon in his relationships displayed by power struggles or violent outbursts. He was previously charged in September 2009 of the assault on a friend.(Charges later dropped). He is quoted as saying his much loved mother had the most influence on his life and he has her birth and death dates tattooed on his inner arm. However the difficult aspects to his Moon may have deeply affected his ability to relate. With such significant energies in Scorpio there may be a fascination with death, sex and a strong survival instinct. Neptune is connected too, being inconjunct Moon and sextile Venus. This could indicate themes of loss or lack of trust with loved ones possibly resulting in intense jealousy and frustrated efforts to try and control events by controlling them. 

With Moon in Leo out-of-sign trine Sun in Scorpio the immediate impression is one of tremendous energy and internal resource having immense power to influence people. Additionally Mars in Aquarius in a tight square to the Sun (1st to 10th House) suggest a determined character capable of creating action and reaction in their wake. On the negative side this could result in impatience and recklessness (he was charged in Feb 2009 of reckless driving and crashing of a boat, resulting in Pistorius being hospitalised with facial injuries). On the positive side, this placement could suggest the drive for equality and human rights of disabled people. A deeply complex individual with strong intense emotions & maybe capacity to punish themself with equal intensity. There is suggestion of enormous power of will and self-control, but negatively this could be displayed in ruthless behaviour in pursuing what the mind is set on.(for example success, power & fame) This placement may also be symbolised by Oscar’s interest in firearms. Pluto and Mercury are conjunct the MC suggesting a enthusiasm and magnetism, a compelling communicator with a penchant for leadership. 

Tattoo on back is the Bible verse 1 Corinthians 9:26: 

“I do not run like a man running aimlessly”

Disabled from birth, Pistorius has his Chart Ascendant in Aquarius,a natural outsider both seen as and experiencing the world in an unusual way. The ruler Uranus is in Sagittarius in the 11th house opposite Chiron in Gemini in the 5th is interesting and forms a T square with Jupiter in Pisces in the 2nd house. Forming normal friendships may not have been easy as there may have been a sense of somehow being different to others and there is some suggestion of wounds around love affairs. The Jupiter in Pisces placement suggests a vulnerability to being hurt and at 13 degrees is both Square to Uranus and to Saturn in Sagittarius. The further placement of the Saturn on the 11th house cusp further adds speculation to potential difficulties in forming friendships. This T Square was significantly hit by transits on his mother’s death

It could be imagined that with Jupiter Trine to Mercury and Pluto a defence mechanism for any hurts and insecurities could be obsessive manipulation and control.

As a second chart ruler Saturn draws in Sun and Uranus as it is exactly midpoint. Pistorius’s father left home when he was 6 years old. Transiting Saturn that year moved over and then retrograde over his ascendant in Aquarius. Saturn is also significant in transit in the death of his mother where it was exactly inconjunct to the MC/IC Axis opposite its natal self and inconjunct to Pluto: pretty heavy stuff!

At the time of the alleged murder of his girlfriend transiting Saturn was conjunct to and at the midpoint of natal Mercury and Pluto.

Oscar Pistorius & Reeva Steenkamp Synastry

With Reeva’s Mars exactly conjunct Oscar’s Moon she would have had a profound emotional effect on him. With her Mars in Leo in midpoint trine to Natal Jupiter and Uranus in Sagittarius it could be guessed that she could have been feisty in matters of independence and fairness. This Mars placement plugs into Pistorius’s emotional own possible obsessions around relating. (Moon Sqare Venus & Pluto). Her Sun and Venus fall in his 7th house and he would have experienced her as a potential true life partner. However Reeva’s Sun is opposite Oscar’s Mars and Square his Sun. This could have made for strong attraction but for a fiery relationship. Further unpredictability in the relationship are suggested by the placement of Reeva’s Uranus at the midpoint of Oscar’s Sun and Saturn. Karmically Reeva’s South Node is exactly conjunct Oscars Uranus and her North Node is conjunct his Chiron suggesting the shocking events of Valentine Day will never heal either of them. Incredibly, Reeva’s Venus is also retrograde and sextile to Oscar’s retrograde Venus. (Since Venus is retrograde only every 18 months for 6 weeks the probability that 2 people both have retrograde Venus let alone in close aspect to each is very slim.) This would suggest a karmic connection between them on the surface experienced by harmonious tastes and shared values. However Reeva’s Venus is additionally square Oscar’s Sun and she may have experienced his personality as overpowering at times and he may have felt that he was losing his identity with her.

Both her retrograde Venus and her Mercury in Virgo activate Pistorius’s Mutable T square between Saturn, Uranus, Chiron and Jupiter. As her birth time is unknown, Reeva’s Moon could be anywhere between 4 and 15 degrees Capricorn. It is likely that her Moon was conjunct his Neptune, if so there may have been themes around idolisation, martyrdom, deception and trust.


Oscar Pistorius and Transits of the Alleged Murder

According to neighbours they heard angry shouting at the home of Oscar Pistorius and then 4 gunshots at about 4am. (Transit Chart has been elected for 4am ). It has been reported that Reeva was shot through the bathroom door. Oscar’s defence Lawyers are contesting a case of mistaken identity whilst the prosecution will be arguing a case of premeditated murder. 

What is striking about the event chart that there are similarities to the one for the death of his mother. In this one the mutable T square is activated again with Transiting Mercury exactly conjunct his Natal Jupiter and Transiting Mercury.Mars and Chiron are Square Oscar’s Natal Saturn. This may suggest that Oscar’s buttons may have been pressed in themes of old wounds, insecurities and possibly mistrust. Again in this event chart like the death of his mother his Mars Sun Square is being activated in this case by the conjunction of the Sun. (The Sun at this time was also exactly opposite Reeva’s Natal Sun to the degree.) As previously mentioned transiting Saturn had entered the 10th house midpoint to Oscar’s Natal sun & Mercury in Scorpio again possibly triggering insecurities and dark themes.(Sex / Power / Control) With the transiting Nodal axis falling in his 10th house too there is no surprise that his true personality has come under the attention and scrutiny of the World.


Oscar Pistorius & The Future

At the present time the future looks bleak for Oscar Pretorius if found guilty he could be jailed for life. His Nodal Axis suggests a life path endeavouring to communicate his true self-identity (North Node 18 degrees Aries in the 3rd house) and this will receive considerable stress from transiting Pluto and Uranus over the next few years. Additionally Pluto will be entering into a 20+ year stint in the 12th house - maybe a time for considerable psychological growth.At the moment there is no suggestion of drugs or alcohol being involved in the valentine's day events.However Oscar's natal Venus is sextile his Neptune suggesting there may be such a theme within his relationships. His progressed chart is fascinating, with Mars exactly conjunct Jupiter at 15 degrees Pisces square a stellium of planets in Sagittarius and opposite Chiron in Gemini, once again triggering the natal mutable T-square. Does he attract / is attracted to partners with strong Neptune qualities ? (Reeva had a tight Sun Trine Neptune) & if so does this make him feel out of control? However, whatever transgresses one gets the impression that there is yet much more to come in the fascinating story of this unusual young man.


Asked once about his chief ambition by the Financial Times he replied: 

“I’d like to have a career without regrets. No, what I really mean is that I’d like a life without regrets. I’d like a life in which I made the most of my God-given talents and died without regrets......................"

Kieron Le Grice talk at the Consciousness Cafe in Totnes

I've recently been in contact with Kieron Le Grice and found out that he is giving a talk down here in the South West. Some of the Exeter Group, and indeed Plymouth and Totnes, might want to attend. Thursday 28th March 2013, at the Consciousness Cafe in Totnes, 7.30pm for 8pm. Finishes at 10pm. Donation only and the venue has recently moved to the Function Room of the Dartmouth Inn, Warlands, Totnes.

If you are coming please confirm by emailing Wendy: <wendystt997@googlemail.com>

Dr Keiron Le Grice on ‘Rediscovering the Gods: Archetypal Astrology as a Guide to Psychospiritual Transformation’

Individuation, as described by Carl Jung, is a process of deep psychological transformation leading the individual towards the realization of the Self—the organizing center and the totality of the psyche. As Jung and Joseph Campbell have demonstrated, the sequence of transformations occurring during individuation is symbolically portrayed by myths of the hero’s journey. In this discussion, by exploring connections between archetypal themes in human experience and particular planetary alignments in astrology, he will present the case that astrology can be used to help illuminate the dynamics of individuation, serving as a guide to one’s own heroic journey.

Keiron is a guest lecturer in Jungian and Archetypal Studies at the Pacifica Graduate Institute, California, and adjunct faculty in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program at the California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco. He is the author of The Archetypal Cosmos: Rediscovering the Gods in Myth, Science and Astrology and Discovering Eris: The Symbolism and Significance of a New Planetary Archetype. He is also founding editor of Archai: The Journal of Archetypal Cosmology. His latest book, The Rebirth of the Hero: Mythology as a Guide to Spiritual Transformation, will be released later this year. Keiron currently lives in Wales with his wife and son.

Obama - Second Inauguration

President Obama will be formally inaugurated as the President of the United States of America on Monday 21 January 2013 at 12 Noon. The following chart shows the astrological picture in Washington DC at this time.

 Obama - Second Inauguration

On most occasions, the Presidential inauguration will occur on 20 January. However, the ceremony is not conducted on Sundays. Hence, President Obama will be sworn in on Monday 21 January this year. Obama's first inauguration took place on 20 January 2009, with the angles at 14 TA 03 (ASC) and 26 CP 09 (MC).

This date - 20 January - has been used since 1937 for most Presidential inaugurations. The date was changed in the Twentieth Amendment of the United States Constitution on on 23 January 1933.

Section One of the Amendment says:

"Section 1. The terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin."

This makes inauguration charts interesting because the angles for the occasion remain more or less the same, symbolically, from ceremony to ceremony. Of course, the actual swearing in may occur at a slightly different time from noon depending on delays etc.

(I am using the date, noon time and the MC degree as a symbolic device for interpreting the archetypal significance of the Presidential office itself, and the specific chart associated with this time as an indicator of the significance of the particular Presidential term.)

The first inauguration on 20 January was for F D Roosevelt. This occurred in 1937, four years after the Amendment to the Constitution. At the time of this inauguration, Pluto had just completed a lengthy transit of the degrees opposite the Presidential MC from Cancer. The Amendment was made just before Uranus made a square from Aries to the Presidential MC.

This makes the upcoming transit of Pluto to the Presidential 'MC' in late Capricorn a potentially challenging time for the incumbent elected in 2020 and sworn in in 2021. This Pluto transit will occur during 2020-2022.

Uranus will  transit square the Presidential MC from late Aries from mid-2017 to mid-2018. The combination of the Uranus transit and the forthcoming Pluto transit, both to the Presidential MC, suggests the office may be subject to a high degree of change and transformation during the five years from 2017.

Both planets were prominently involved during the period of time between the enactment of the Twentieth Amendment in 1933, and its implementation with F D R's second inauguration in 1937.

Neptune transited the Presidential MC during 1996, the last year of Clinton's first term.

For an interesting perspective from Hellenistic astrologer Chris Brennan, on whether Obama's term starts on 20 January 2013, or 21 January 2013, see:

http://politicalastrologyblog.com/2013/01/16/obamas-second-inauguration-charts/

In my view, there may be a case for saying that there will be an inner Presidency (20 January 2013) and an outer or public Presidency (21 January 2013). The inner Presidency may be faced with great conflict (Moon square Mars), whilst the public Presidency, declared in the ceremony on Monday, may be popular and apparently successful (Moon conjunct Jupiter, trine Sun conjunct Mercury - see chart above).

The enactment of the public ritual of inauguration on Monday 21 January 2013 lends this date great power in the imaginations of the American people, and it may reflect a broad popular view of Obama's second term.

It is worth noting that Obama re-took the Oath following his first inauguration because of concerns that a small mistake my lead to his political legitimacy being contested.
