Actor Omar Sharif, best known for his roles in
classic films Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago, has died aged 83. Egypt-born
Sharif won two Golden Globe awards and an Oscar nomination for his role as
Sherif Ali in David Lean's 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia. He won a further
Golden Globe three years later for Doctor Zhivago. July 11 http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-33483877
Omar
Sharif was born April 10, 1932; 5:30 pm; Alexandria; Egypt [1]. His radix Sun
makes a tight hard aspect to Neptune –
the planet linked to illusions and by association to films and photography. Venus square Neptune,is a combination associated with
image of a romantic lover which is what Omar Sharif played in Doctor Zhivago.
Doctor
Zhivago is a 1965 British-American epic drama–romance film directed by David
Lean, starring Omar Sharif and Julie Christie. The film takes place mostly
against a backdrop of the pre-World War I years, World War I itself, the
Russian Revolution of 1917, and the Russian Civil War.
Sharif’s
radix Sun was conjunct Uranus square Pluto. Uranus-Pluto hard aspects are
connected with war and revolutions which lead to the collapse of old orders. Sharif was born at the waning
Uranus-Pluto square and Dr Zhivago was released at the Uranus-Pluto conjunction
of 1965 so that in a sense his birth chart was connected to the film. In fact in
1965 at the release of the film, Omar Sharif’s primary direction was Sun sextile radix Pluto triggering the natal
square. And now his death has taken
place at the waxing Uranus-Pluto square with Uranus having returned to its natal
place conjunct his Sun and square Pluto which is conjunct the asteroid Requiem
(death). Just two days after his death a
Sun-Uranus square takes place on July
13, 2015. A chart for the exact square at Cairo has the Sun-Uranus-Pluto T
prominently placed on the angles.
Finally, let us look at the reason behind Omar Sharif's success in Hollywood. To do that we look at the
concept of the Least Aspected Planet ( LAP) in his chart. This concept was first advanced in 1998 by Robert
Couteau, [2] who proposed that the horoscope
planet that receives the fewest astrological aspects is the keynote or focal
point of the birth chart. In the analysis of planetary lines in
astrocartography, the rising, setting, Imum coeli, and midheaven lines of the
LAP represent geographic areas of greatest potential for the native, in fact
places where he can acquire great fame. Fame being a result of outwardly
realizing a great inner potential for success.
Jupiter
[12le] is the Least Aspected Planet in Omar Sharif’s chart. Leo is a sign associated with the stage and
often prominent in the chart of actors but also those of gamblers! (Sharif was
a regular at French casinos). Notice
that relocation to Hollywood, CA brings his radix Jupiter to the IC so that this is where he
acquired his fame.
PS:
The Sabian
symbol for the Sun [Cancer21] in the
chart for the Sun-Uranus square may have
a deeper message which perhaps we should look at .
PHASE 111: A Famous Singer is proving her
virtuosity during an operatic performance.
Keynote: The reward accompanying cultural
excellence.
If anything represents the type of response that a
well-developed society gives to the individual who successfully pours his
energy into the skilful externalization of the great images of his culture, it
is the opera. At this stage of the cyclic Sabian symbols we find the drive
toward individualization by means of concrete forms of cultural activity
glorified in social and financial success. In its deepest sense the symbol
refers to the price of success. What is success really worth? A question few
people ask.
