South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has arrived
at his trial, as Judge Thokosile Masipa prepares her verdict. The Olympic
double-amputee sprinter faces 25 years in jail if found guilty of premeditated
murder. He denies intentionally killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on
Valentine's Day last year, saying he thought there was an intruder. The judge
could also find him guilty of culpable homicide, or manslaughter, for which he
would face a long jail term. BBC; Sept. 11
Oscar
Pistorius was born November 22, 1986; 10:30 am [EET]; Pretoria A Rodden rating of ‘A’ for this data makes it
a delight for astrologers since all manner of progressions and transits can be
accurately timed.
The most
important direction is Pistorius’ solar
arc Ascendant [10pi] square his radix Saturn [10sa45]. On the date of the
incident, transit Mars [10pi] was triggering this square. We note that Saturn
is conjunct the star Antares [9sa54].
Antares, the fiery red heart of the sky Scorpion
stands for an anguished, often broken heart…these people can be tough,
energetic, impulsive, obstinate and dominant. Their lives may be marred by
quarrels, with colleagues, friends and relatives who do not understand them.
Domestic life may be unhappy. Among other things Diana Rosenberg associates
this star with “sexual addiction, stress and danger of murder”. Watters adds
that when Antares is directed to an angle there is severe stress. [2]
Robson’s
delineation for Saturn conjunct Antares:
With Saturn: Materialistic, dishonest through
circumstances created by environment, many disappointments, loss through
quarrels and legal affairs, [Robson*, p.138.]
If the Ascendant
solar direction to Saturn can be looked upon as “hour hand” of the clock, the “minute
hand” can be transits, diurnals, solar
return progressions or lunations.
Pistorius’
precessed solar return chart progressed to September 12, the expected date of
the verdict, has the Venus-Pluto-Uranus-Kronos-Hades-Zeus Grand Cross lined up with the meridian axis.
Venus-Pluto:
Radical events in a love relationship brought about obsessive control and
domination needs.
Kronos-Pluto: to
see that prominent persons are under substantial pressure
Kronos-Hades: To
see links between “fame” and “shame”; to be aware of laws that relate to criminals or criminal
procedures.
Pluto-Uranus: Pluto
in Capricorn square Uranus in Aries. The power of the collective to force
conformity against “outlaws” who harm society by preventing wilful, insensitive
or even sociopathic depredation by individuals whose actions harm everyone’s
safety and well being.
His diurnal
Ascendant (12 Sept. 2014; 10:30 EET) is [9sa23] conjunct his radix Saturn
[10sa].
So is
Pistorius’ going to get a negative verdict? Impossible to say. We do know that
at least on a few counts he will be found guilty, but astrologically speaking
there are a few factors that suggest that the verdict may not be all that
harsh. In his natal chart, radix Saturn [10sa] is square Jupiter [13pi]
highlighted by the current Full Moon [16pi] of September 9. Using Ptolemy’s
Essential Dignities Jupiter and Saturn get +8 and +5 points which basically
means as per medieval astrology both are strong or dignified [3].
