Pope Benedict XVI died today at 9:34am CET in Rome with Antares flashing in the sky.
The Green dot is the Antares Nebulae (Ant-anti Ares-Mars), red and emerald green star in the Heart of Scorpius constellation.
For Rome, theskylive.com website tells us that this Nebulae rose at 5:29am and was peaking at 9:56am. The Pope died at 9:34.


Some famous death on Dec 31st
- 335 St.Silvester I, another Catholic Pope
- 1980 Marshall McLuhan, Canadian writer and 'prophet of the digital age' (the medium is the message)
- 1996 and 1997
61 and 78 law enforcement officers killed by felons in US 2 years in a row. This Nebulae does not seem to be kind with law officers, showing up in cases of violent deaths in battle or by process of law. Dangers by fire, weapons or machinery.

Interesting.

His natal Saturn in quadrant house 9th is quite close *Antares if one use the ecliptic as reference point.

I also find it interesting that he was born with a natal Mars in Gemini Out-of-Bound at 25'N43' Deklination.
When he died then also mundane Mars in Gemini Out-of-Bounds at 24'N35 Deklination

Thanks for sharing your observations Stefan.
As we draw a natal chart, the time we leave our body should be considered another form of birth.

On a spiritual level, Steiner said that Buddha and St Francis of Assisi met on Mars to guide the souls incarnating on Earth. They are said to be souls with a mission to protect and defend the needy and those who need protection.
Symbolically, it is as if the Pope was transiting to Antares for an audition with a military tribunal. I do not have enough knowledge in this matter but I am observing the sky motion.
Like when Elizabeth II left under a Perseid shower from which Steiner said it was the time of the year when human beings were receiving 'iron' from the sky to strengthen their body to keep going.

Good luck with the study Ouranos

I think the famous medium Edgar Casey refered to soul sejourn
on different planets in his many readings.
Don't know anything about it really.


Here is his a chart for the time of his death which i got from some fb group.

The death chart have it's own way of reading it I suppose..

I subscribe to James Kelleher's newsletter and his last post 'Saturn in Aquarius' deserves a good reading. Since he is a Jyotish astrologer, I find it interesting to hear a sidereal voice in the world events.

And I think you are familiar with his work Stefan. Am I right?

Here are parts of his article from the link above...
"Saturn entered Capricorn on January 23, 2020. It stays in Capricorn until January 17, 2023. I call this transit the Pandemic Transit.
Now Saturn is about to move again. It will enter Aquarius on January 17, 2023 and will continue there until March 29, 2025

Saturn in Aquarius challenges us to gather together to manage world politics and trade. For example, the last time that Saturn transited Aquarius, from November of 1993 to February of 1996, the World Trade Organization was established.
Aquarius is also a sign of warfare. In the past Saturn transit of Aquarius, on February 9, 1994, NATO launched air strikes in Sarajevo. The Bosnian War had been going on since 1992, when Saturn was in Capricorn. NATO stepped in, at the request of the United Nations. NATO issued an ultimatum to the Bosnian Serbs that ultimately brought about a cease fire.
One can’t help but notice the similarity to the war in Ukraine. It also started when Saturn was in Capricorn. So far, it has had the effect of strengthening NATO, and NATO has been supporting Ukraine in its war efforts. When Saturn transits, Aquarius, it will further increase NATO’s desire to take action.
Of course, the dynamics of the War in Ukraine is different from that of the Bosnian war, in that the aggressor, Russia, is a nuclear Superpower. NATO has to be much more careful with its ultimatums this time around. Nevertheless, Saturn in Aquarius will strengthen their resolve. It is also interesting to note that in 1994, NATO’s chart was passing through the Rahu major period and the Sub Period of Jupiter. Now, NATO’s chart is passing through Jupiter Major period and Rahu Sub period. The same two planets (in reverse order) ruling the major and sub periods, and the same transit of Saturn in Aquarius, reinforces a similar trend. Regardless of whether NATO actually steps into the conflict directly, its support of Ukraine and involvement in the war will only increase."

And he goes on to describe Saturn transit for each sign.

lol...

i look forward to revisiting this thread in a years time to see the fruit of james kellehers insights, vedic wisdom or whatever you want to call all of that!

Yes Ouranos, I was studying for James Kelleher for many years with his interactive webinars. He is a quite skilled Vedic astrologer having really lived the art, and implemented it into his bones, as first assistant to Gandhi, a famous Vedic astrologer. He also was a meditation teacher for some years in the TM org I believe.
He is quite skilled in the mundane astrology branch, with some good predictive record.
So he is worth listening to I think.

We'll see if he is correct about the NATO issues and the transit of Saturn.


About fixed star *Antares and the Pope:
transit Mars is now on the Antares/Aldbaran axis across 9'Gemini/9'Sagittarius. These two fixed star form a pair I heard, and the mundane event of the Pope dying now with that stationary Mars transit over it in synch, and also the phenomena you mentioning in your first post with Antares flashing rising in Rome at his death is fascinating I think.

Adding also the before mentioned fact that the Pope was born with a natal Mars in Gemini Out-of-Bound at 25'N43' Deklination.
And synchronistically when he died then also mundane Mars is currently transiting in Gemini Out-of-Bounds at 24'N35 Deklination

Yes, fascinating this OOB Mars in the Aldebaran/Antares axis!

My late husband had a out of bounds Mars in gemini AMY

Another interesting fact
When the Pope passed away, the asteroid Ratzinger was at 5 Sco 26 conjunct his natal 8th House (Placidus).

Antares rising as pope dies? Was this the antichristos pope,abdicated his position to the displeasure of the heavens striking the Vatican with a lightening strike.
York Minster struck by lightening after the ordination of Dr David Jenkins
Many were uneasy with his outspoken heretical musings & saw an act of God

Rather than seeing a sidereal link of Saturn in Capricorn & the pandemic, which theoretically should bring a pandemic every 28 years.I would side with the Arabic astrologers of old who taught that the Jupiter
Saturn conjunction in an air sign would bring plagues.And they would start
at the Aries ingress of the year of the conjunction.

It is interesting that the problems we are facing now inflation/famine excess deaths could just as easily be seen to have started shortly after the burning down of Notre Dame,which I predicted at the time will bring terrible consequences

As collectively people turn from faith the devil has the field to himself.

zosma

i am curious about your comment about the notre dame fire as the starting point for some of the recent history here... i am going to open a thread on it.. perhaps you can comment on that thread.. thanks - james
