South African Paralympic athlete
Oscar Pistorius has been charged with murder after his girlfriend Reeva
Steenkamp was shot dead at his home in Pretoria .
Police said Mr Pistorius was at a local police station, adding that a friend of
his was killed at his home. They confirmed a 26-year-old man would appear in
court later. Mr Pistorius, 26, was the first double amputee to run in the
Olympics. The incident is said to have taken place between 04:00 and 05:00
local time (02:00-03:00 GMT). A police statement said that a 30-year-old woman
was "fatally wounded" in the early hours of Thursday morning at a
home a high-security compound in the Boschkop area of the capital.
We will first look at the chart for the current Crescent Moon phase. The Moon (10ar19) is conjunct Uranus (6ar13) and square Pluto
(10cp46). It also forms a sharp quincunx to Saturn (11sc30) on the Ascendant
bringing the issue of the Saturn-Venus square to sharp focus.
Uranus-Pluto: to
recognize that a threat of separation or demand for independence [Uranus] can bring vindictive reactions
[Pluto].[1]
The Moon
[10ar19] is conjunct the star 51 Piscium,
[10ar21] in the cord connecting the Fishes. With Uranus here what more would
Uranus want but to break the cord!
The second
chart presented here is drawn for the event at 3:00 GMT. This chart puts the
Saturn on the MC and Venus on the Ascendant, in other words, in very prominent
positions. As can be seen, both the charts have Venus-Saturn square prominently placed on
the angles. Astrobarry gives an excellent account of the dynamics of this
square.
Venus's transition into Aquarius can
help us detach from too deliberately purpose-focused an approach to our
interpersonal dealings. If anything, Venus in Aquarius sometimes veers too far
to another extreme, so committed to favoring freedom of self-expression and
strong individualism in relationships that it threatens to leave a dearth of
intimate connection in its wake. During Venus's three weeks in airy Aquarius,
we can recapture a greater degree of emotional space from anyone who's been a
bit too up-close-and-personal for our comfort, allowing us a better ability to
think about the dynamics of the relationship with a little distance. If only,
then, Saturn in Scorpio wasn't again interfering with that ultra-reasonable (if
not somewhat aloof) aerial perspective Aquarius prefers. But alas, Venus is
already moving toward a square with Saturn (exact on Feb 10) during her earlier
steps through Aquarius, an aspect that intrinsically constrains our relational
behaviors. Basically, Saturn wants us to make sure we're not seeking space from
someone because we're trying to avoid dealing with uncomfortable realities that
in fact must be dealt with, if we want to save the relationship from
encroaching flatness or a phony 'everything's cool' performance. These first
couple weeks of February force us to balance the craving for space with the
necessity of not running away when things get tough.[2]
Since
Saturn in Scorpio can be very possessive of loved ones, a struggle between
freedom and control is what this square with Venus in Aquarius is all about. Unfortunately for Miss Steenkamp,
the struggle ended in her murder.

Note:
(a) Oscar Pistorius
( born 22 November 1986) has radix Sun at 29sc conjunct the star Toliman of
Centaurus [29sc].
It is said to give hard-heartedness,
inclination to vengeance, love of arms, strong passion, and an energetic
nature. [Robson*, p.37.]
Relationships to female persons
often seem spoiled, or an existing relationship is stricken by exceptional
circumstances. [Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928,
p.68.]
Reeva
Steenkamp (born 19 August 1983) has radix Sun at 26 leo conjunct the star Alphard of Hydra [27leo].
A 'poisoning' is also possible in a
relationship between man and woman in marriage. [Fixed Stars and Their
Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, p.50]
(b) The New
Moon (21aq43) of 10 Feb at Pretoria
forms a semisquare with Uranus (6ar01) on Ascendant square Pluto (10cp39)
on MC. The Crescent Moon was triggering the angular Uranus-Pluto square on Feb
13, the date of the incident.
(c). The Lunar
Eclipse of Nov 28, 2012 at 6ge was
discussed in connection with artificial limbs. Eclipse aids breakthrough in prosthesis .Diana Rosenberg referring to epsilon Persei (5ge51) writes that leg ailments or injuries are common here since Perseus' legs are here. Here too, the
eclipse is significant with the Venus Saturn end of the Yod on the descendant at Pretoria and when the eclipse chart is progressed to Feb 14,
2013, Venus-Saturn conjoin the IC of the chart triggering the eclipse
effect. Incidentally, Pistorius has a natal Venus-Pluto conjunction on the same degrees. The eclipse
in Hyades is associated with a stormy passionate nature and Venus-Pluto are often
seen in crimes of passion.
