Star Trek's Mr Spock dies

Argo Navis – Jason’s celestial ship

US actor Leonard Nimoy, who played Mr Spock in the cult sci-fi series Star Trek, has died at the age of 83 in Los Angeles, his family has said. His son, Adam, said he died of end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on Friday morning in Bel-Air, California. Nimoy had a long career as both an actor and director. However he was best known for his portrayal of the half-human, half-Vulcan character in both the TV franchise and series of films. Last year, the actor revealed he was suffering chronic lung disease COPD, despite stopping smoking 30 years ago. BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-31662024

Leonard Nimoy’s horoscope [1] is available at Astro DataBank. He was born at the last waning Uranus-Pluto square.  When the two planets went through a conjunction at [16vi] during 1965-67,  close to stars in the sail of the Celestial Ship Argo Navis,  he  became famous as the pointed-eared alien Spock in "Star Trek." And as if proving that his life was connected with the Uranus-Pluto cycle, he has died  at his Uranus return and the waxing Uranus-Pluto square.

Nimoy’s radix Sun [4ar56] is quincunx the Neptune [3vi37]. Neptune is a mysterious and fascinating planet closely connected with human inspiration. As a planet of illusions it rules photography, movies and cinema and by association actors too. In Nimoy’s chart, Neptune is conjunct alpha Sextant [3vi10] – a star in the constellation  of Argo Navis – the mythical ship which carried Jason and the Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece.

Finally we look at the chart of the April 28, 2014 solar eclipse at  Bel-Air, California to explain the death of the legend. Notice that the eclipse was prominent for the place with a Grand Cross placed sharply on the meridian axis. The Mars leg of the Cross is conjunct the MC and stars of Corvus and the Virgin. Diana Rosenberg writes that this is an area connected with astronomy, navigation, aviation and space . She also adds that since these stars are in the chest of the Virgin, there can be susceptibility to tuberculosis and lung diseases [2]. How strange that Nimoy’s case is linked to both these! Progressing the eclipse chart to Feb. 27, the date of his death, aligns the Grand Cross with the horizon axis confirming our thesis.
