As William Lilly wrote several times we have to combine the art of astrology with common sense. As Western World is in war with Russia one cannot take mainstream media at face value I would suggest. We have to stick to astrology not to newspaper reports. And I know it is very hard to omit ones own opinion and look at a chart as impartial as possible. I often have to struggle to leave my prejudices behind and to remind myself to just follow the delineation rules I consider trustworthy to date.

I myself do not trust mainstream media and try to stay away from it as much as possible.
In my response to linchi's comment and through the whole thread I did highlight the astrological indications in Navalny's natal chart pointing to his physical weakness, and included a quote from RPP listing a different interpretation to the Ne/Ad combination (other than poison) , that supported the possibility that his cause of death was the freezing conditions in which he was held in the arctic prison.

If your comment about putting personal prejudice and journalistic reports above astrology referred to my comments, you might have completely misunderstood it, or your preaching response was motivated by your own prejudice.

And if you totally mistrust the mainstream media, I wonder how the astrologer that created this thread knew Navalny was dead. Surely it was not just from looking at his chart. Maybe the media is lying about that too and Navalny is actually alive and well at his home somewhere, and this whole thread should be immediately deleted.

But one thing that strike me is his natal Mars squaring the nodes in the bendings ( South Node bending in this case).
A planet in the southern bendings is seen by some astrologers as sometimes being a "Sacrifice to the collective".

Navalny sacrificed himself with the sense of his Courage (Mars), showing the world an immense courage to stand up
against a dark regime for all of us to see,
He could have stayed in Germany in exile. But choose another destiny fully aware of the dangers it implied.

Thanks for your comments Aquastellia....

I would like to continue some addition to the looking at this drama from the lens of planets in the bending.
Navalny had his Mars at the bending which might signify a sacrifice to the collective if one might say so.
( I refer to Mary Plumb's article in Mountain asstrologer).

Now his wife did a similar sacrifice with her Venus (love) sacrificing her love ( venus in the southern bending) under difficult circumstances.
A whole bunch of planets there as she was born near Alexey.

Her chart to the right and Alexey's to the left.
( No birthtime for Yulia).

(In Alexey Navalny's solar return; mars is squaring the nodes again - a mars return - profected 12th house year with Mars.
Distribution : primary ascendant traveling in the Mars bound.)

you mean, develop critical thinking?? lol.. we live in an era of censorship where alternative views are removed or erased.. websites like wikpedia especially on political topics work 24/7 with the propaganda.... so navalny is a martyr, but julian assange is what?? at present the world is going thru a rough patch, but critical thinking is absolutely essential, especially when digesting news sources today... george orwell was very prescient, but then he worked inside the bbc so he had an insiders viewpoint..

No, no, I did not referr to your posting in particular!

Maybe in the sense to know that it is not possible to know what is going on in such a heated situation. With good luck astrology can tell me a little bit if I am able to understand to read it correctly without my presumptions.

I'm pretty ambivalent about the whole thing but you can see from the 16th Harmonic (disappointment; destruction; upheavals) that the death is not a random event. For whatever reason it is orchestrated (Kite formation) and rather malevolent in action I would say.

I doubt any competent astrologer could possibly argue against this chart which is rather remarkable in its clarity. Sun-Hades in particularly.

Greg,
Interesting 16th Harmonic. In view also of the Moon semi-square Sun/Hades and sesqui-quadrate Saturn.

Yes the Devil is in the detail.

the devil being critical thinking?

Lol, probably so.
Since we just had a Full Moon in Virgo, once again displaying the polarity between Foggy Pisces and critical thinker and nitpicker Virgo, and since Mercury rules Virgo and is exalted in Virgo while its glyph reminds us of the devil (with those little horns) , I suppose it's Mercury the devil (and his obsession with the details) who opposes the fogginess of random "charts" posed with no clear explanation by 'competent astrologers' who believe that by adding a hypothetical planet (whose nature they don't really understand) to a supposedly "harmonic chart" , they can 'confuse the enemy' or the opposition just by writing the immortal phrase "I doubt any competent astrologer could possibly argue against this chart".
And I am unanimous about it!

Alas, that poor little devil just fell into the Piscean ocean and drowned.

* Sorry, I forgot that in your system the full Moon was in Leo and the poor little devil is still swimming in the Aquarium. Just kidding.

i have some ‘made on vancouver island’ liferafts with a special protective ‘anti military grade’ novichok shield for anyone who is concerned about losing there bearings while wandering in a fog on a sea of propaganda.. it comes with a state of the art radar so you can always know ‘where’ you are... it’s been appropriately named after that slayer of the false ‘wikipedia’, and now referred to as the ‘wikipedia radar’.. unfortunately, it hasn’t been mass produced for walmart or other such esteemed consumer outlets, and i don’t accept credit cards, especially if they’re from russia! i might make an exception for someone named boris….
