Champion free diver Natalia Molchanova missing


“Your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself”.

-  Joseph Campbell


The son of the woman considered to be the greatest free diver ever says his mother is missing after diving in the Balearic Sea on Sunday (Aug. 2). Natalia Molchanova, 53, was diving with three others off Ibiza on Sunday when she did not surface after a dive without fins to about 115 feet off the coast of an island near Ibiza, Alexey Molchanov and the free-diving federation told the New York Times. A search continues for Molchanova, a Russian who holds a number of world records. August 4 http://goo.gl/ounlfK









The unfortunate incident has occurred just two days before the Full Moon. A chart for the Moon phase at Ibiza has a Grand Cross straddling the angles. For Mars in aspect to Uranus-Pluto, Ebertin gives “injury or accident”. Mars is also in hard aspect to Neptune in the 5th house. This is a house connected with recreation and sports. With Neptune here we are looking at water related sports like diving. And with Michel Gauquelin’s research [1] linking Mars to sports champions, it is not too difficult to connect the chart to Natalia Molchanova, the greatest free diver. Uranus [20ar] in the Cross is conjunct the star Baten Kaitos. Zeta (ζ) Cetus,  Baten Kaitos, is a topaz yellow star in the belly of the Whale or Sea Monster (ocean depths?) [2].


Mars [24cn] on the MC is conjunct the star Procyon [26cn]. Elsbeth Ebertin warns that Mars configured with Procyon is especially dangerous  and natives must take care not to be imprudent in order to avoid a fiasco [3]. Stars of the Cancer Crab also  start here and presumably because Crabs live on the land as well as the sea, Diana Rosenberg hints at “shoreline disasters”.

Natalia Molchanova (born 8 May 1962) currently had her progressed solar arc Sun [8cn] trine natal Jupiter [8pi]. Transit Neptune [9pi] was conjunct her Jupiter with both in hard aspect to transit Mars [24cn]. In his “The Combination of Stellar Influences”, Reinhold Ebertin gives the following keyphrases for the combination:

Jupiter-Neptune-Mars: Proneness to irresponsible acting; the desire to realize plans without prospect.
