Crime writer Ruth Rendell has died aged 85, her
publisher says. She wrote more than 60 novels in a career spanning 50 years,
her best-known creation being Inspector Wexford, which was turned into a highly
successful TV series. A former
journalist, she built a name as one of the best and most successful of the
crime novelists. Her novel "A Demon in my View" was awarded the gold
Dagger Award by the British Crime Writers Ass'n. Her work also includes "A
Sleeping Life," "The Best Way to Die," and "A New Lease on
Death." May 2
Ruth Rendell
was born 17 February 1930; 9:00 am; London [1]. A prominent T-square of Saturn-Pluto-Uranus straddles the meridian axis. Saturn-Pluto is a combination
that is associated with crime, evil, death and dying – a theme that appears to have
been significant in all her writings. Having stationed retrograde on April 17,
transit Pluto was opposing its own radix place at her death while transit Saturn was in the 8th
house of death square Neptune and opposite her Arabic Part of Death [6ge]. (Ascendant
+ Cusp of 8th – Moon).
Next we will
look at the news through the lens of mundane astrology. Her death coincides
with a Mercury-Saturn opposition on May 3. A chart for the exact opposition at
London is shown here. It is significant for London since Mercury and Saturn
form hard aspects to the Ascendant. On its own Mercury-Saturn refers to the
death (Saturn) of a writer (Mercury). Notice also that Rendell’s radix Pluto [18cn]
conjoins the chart Ascendant [18cn]. The stars of the Twins Castor and Pollux, known for their literary abilities, form the
backdrop to the Ascendant.
