At What Age Are You Happiest? At What Age Are You Wealthiest?

A study from out of the u.k. Says that people are happiest at age 33. The Sun in your Solar Return chart is said to begin a new cycle at this age because it returns to the same house it was in when you were born. So, perhaps this is the year when you are reborn? Kind of an interesting thought Christianity wise. Jesus was 33 when he was killed, and risen. However you say it. I'm appreciating Christianity more these days. It seems to have taken some of the best of Greek thought and tried to bring it to the people. Sometimes works, sometimes not.

Here's the article. On iPad so can't figure the links.

Also.

Financial disaster prophet, Henry S. Dent, supplies a bunch of different statistics about ones age. He says that most people are the wealthiest they will ever be at age 48. This is at or right after a person's 4th Jupiter Return.

Mega Ball - 3 Winners

No word yet on who exactly won the biggest Lottery of all time. According to what I just read which I don't have link for there were 3 winning tickets.

Winning places were:

Town of Red Bud near St. Louis in Illinois?
Baltimore County, Maryland
somewhere in Kansas, i.e. Oz

I talked about how Jupiter and Venus were on the Descendant and was hoping that this would somehow describe the winners. Aside from wondering if they're not all Diabetics (Noel Tyl relates Venus-Jupiter combos with Diabetes)

Looked up astrolocality chart for the drawing and found that the Jupiter DS line runs down from Milwaukee/Chicago to just east of Houston. St. Louis is right on it! Baltimore MD is under the influence of the Mars MC and Cihron IC lines. I don't think that Kansas was under any particular lines.

The winning numbers were

02-04-23-28-46 The MegaBall no. was 23

That means that you would have had to have picked the number 23 twice. I know that when I was picking numbers I didn't even think of repeating any.

Anyway, it's interesting that 23 is an age related to the 2d Jupiter Return which happens between ages 23 and 24. That's as far as I will go to try to relate the numbers to the astrology chart because one can get really nuts about that.

Congratulations to the Winners!!! I read what I thought was some really good advice which said to go ahead and spend some money now but to wait a year before making the major decisions.

Oh yeah, Jupiter is conjunct Lilith.

Did the U.S. Give Leftist Latin American Leaders Cancer?

Wow, I hope not. I suspect that the U.S. invented most of the treatments that the Leftist Latin American leaders are getting treated for. Anyway, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela has just conjectured out loud that the U.S. probably infected all these leaders with Cancer. I think our Lone Wolves are too busy shooting up the House of Pancakes, the White House, and little kids to bother with infecting Leftist Latin American leaders but I can't be sure. I know that I'm being gang stalked by Mexican, East Indian and others. Wow, Hugo, I'm sorry for your pain, but have to admit you look better with a bald head. I suggest trying Homeopathy and Acupuncture and Macrobiotic Diet. Most Americans go down to Mexico for cures. Maybe sleep on a couple of Aloe Vera leaves for a week.

All the Leftist Latin American leaders have different signs and different types of Cancers so if the U.S. infected them then I guess they tailored the stuff. All the Leaders are just past their 2nd progressed Lunar Returns. Most are about to enter their 2d Saturn Returns. In other words, they're in their 50s and that's when Cancer rates begin to go up.

What they do have in common is placement of Neptune in the sign of Libra. This explains their leftist politics. And they should include listening to music of the Beatles in their therapies. Music is extremely important for this generations' well being. Saturn has just passed over their natal Neptunes which can sap energy. Saturn rules old age. Right now we're having a trine between Saturn and Neptune in the sky. Don't know that that means a hill of beans, you don't really hear astrologers talking about it too much right now. Neptune removes boundaries and Saturn builds boundaries, so obviously there is a disagreement between what both want to do. Trines can lend an ease to the tension so that they might help each other put form into chaos. Trines might also bring out a problem that both these planets can grapple with in that they both can buckle under fear and guilt. These guys all need to do some deep breathing exercises.

What is interesting in connection with Chavez' blame game is that both Libra and Neptune rule enemies. Libra rules open enemies and Neptune rules secret enemies, and poisons and gases and blame.

I'm not real interested in looking at the charts further so I'll list the Leaders and dates below. I wish everyone rapid and full recovery and freedom from suffering.

Cancer in Astrology, I suspect, is ruled by the Moon/CAncer and Pluto/Scorpio but I haven't even looked that up. The Houses related to Health are (as far as I know) the 6th House of Daily Health Habits, the 12th House of Chronic Health Problems and the 1st House of the Physical Body.

I'm not in any way whatsoever a Health Astrologer so my investigations here are kindergarten.

Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela, Colon Cancer which has erupted into Pelvis, gad I'm totally cringing right now thinking about how that must be.

Bret Michaels' Health Problems

All I know about Rock Star Bret Michaels is that he chalks up his eyes with black eyeliner and wears a blue bandanna and had a miraculous recovery from a very serious blood clot in his brain. Now he is suing the Tony Awards for the aneurysm saying that he was hit on the head by a freak stage accident 6 months before which led to the brain clot. At the time it was taken as a funny accident, but supposedly his nose was broken so the injuries were serious.

Bret Michaels
b. Mar. .15, 1963 Butler, PA

Sun 25 Pisces; Moon Scorpio or Sagittarius; NN 27 Cancer

Don't have a birth time so I can't place the Moon and don't have a Ascendant for Michaels. This isn't the greatest situation for looking at the health of an individual, of course, as the Ascendant, H6 and H12 give so much information about a person's health.

Indicators for suffering an accident are shown by Mars and Uranus mainly and probably Saturn. There are other indicators I'm just trying to hone down to the most obvious elements.

Michaels is a strongly water type of person if his Moon is in Scorpio and in a Grand Water Trine with Sun 25 Pisces-Jupiter 26 Pisces and NN 27 Cancer Rx. This shows a person who is very receptive and sensitive and might hold a lot of his psychic energy inside. Of course it is a very artistic and creative element, but also can present some problems. Water is receptive and reflective. Grand Trines have a problem in that they contain the energy. There's no easy interaction within the rest of the chart which projects out into the life in some way. Water in particular likes to flow. Perhaps there is a physical stagnation.

There are two very strong elements in this chart, the Water element and the Mars element, can show a problem with sucking energy in and holding it in. There's going to be a need to be "lanced." If Michaels' Moon is in Sagittarius this will still hold only partly true and will present a firey outlet which is good but might also be accident prone. Can't say for sure without the correct placement so I shouldn't even be speculating here.

This chart Mars shows a pretty intense outlet through firey Mars as well. Mars is unaspected to other planets at 6 Leo. This is a very bold placement, great for a performer and rock star. Mars is lead planet of a locomotive chart so it in a sense leads the rest of the planets. This is a guy who gathers no moss under his feet. And this shows his incredible recuperative powers. Mars also rules the brain, at least in part, and the head. If this doesn't explain the brain hemorrhage, then it at least explains the Bandana which is such a big part of Michaels' image. If Moon is in Scorpio and not in Sagittarius, Mars further stands out as a singleton in Fire.

There's one additional element to Michaels' Mars to point out and that is that Mars stationed direct just hours after he was born. I have no idea how to interpret that, psychically it would probably require a Doctoral Dissertation to explain, but I wonder if there weren't some sort of trauma experienced soon after birth. Maybe exposure even to heat or surgery or head got squeezed by forceps.

Apparently Michael's suffered the onstage accident in June, 2009, then about 8 months later was rushed to the Hospital for an emergency appendectomy, then about 2 weeks later suffered the brain hemorrhage, then weeks after that was rushed back to the hospital for a hole that developed in his chart. This was while the Saturn-Uranus opposition was slowly passing over natal Sun-Jupiter in Pisces. Mars rules emergencies as well as the head. Appendectomies ruled by Uranus and possibly Moon and Mercury for digestive system/stomach problems. Heart is ruled by the sign that Michaels' Mars is in: Leo.

Michaels' was born in the 1960s during the conjunction of Uranus to Pluto at 3 and 11 degrees in that sign. The connection between these two slow moving outer planets in the sign of Virgo is a generation overall which is concerned with health issues and obsessive daily habits.

Michaels' chart is hooked into that on a personal level through an opposition from Mercury 11 Pisces conjunct Chiron 12 Pisces. Mercury is connected to brain function through fine motor coordination, Mars through gross motor function. Chiron represents a wounding that can't be healed but also ability to teach others through the wound.

Michaels' was diagnosed as Type 1 Diabetes when he was 6 years old which shows that he has led a life of always having to maintain his health. At 6 years old a child is going through his first Jupiter Opposition and moving in to his first Secondary Progressed Lunar Square. So I was amazed to find how prominently those transiting planets are perhaps placed in the natal chart within that Grand Water Trine. Jupiter is in close 1 degree conjunction with Sun in Pisces trining the North Node in Cancer and maybe trining the Scorpio Moon.

Illness can certainly guide a person to learn how to hold energy in reserve. A child who deals with a serious illness well develops special abilities. And, with that prominent Mars there would be a desire to develop psychic strength to make up for the physical lack as Mars in Leo is a rather proud placement which wants to show courage. With the strong water of the chart, I suspect there is a bit of a shamanic element to this man. Connected with that lucky Sun-Jupiter conjunction and the significant Mars placement in the chart one can perhaps understand the inherent physical vitality which can lead to such an amazing recovery.

It looks as if these significant planets are also emphasized over the month that Michaels was stricken. He was going through both a Mars Return and a Jupiter Return. The Moon hit Mars in Leo with the brain hemorrhage and a month later (Lunar Return) at the last problem with heart. And Jupiter was in conjunction with Uranus 29 Pisces opposing Saturn 30 Virgo. That explains the larger than life complications involved and also the extreme good luck with a recovery. I'm not sure if he still has any paralysis or weakness involved, that would be indicated by the Saturn opposition. (He has decided to sue just as Jupiter opposes Saturn from Aries to Libra.

I'd love to see how the entire chart someday.

Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi

It's no doubt premature to look at the chart of the Suicide Bomber who killed the CIA agents over in Afghanistan. Wikipedia is just now providing the information and sometimes these things change and the birth chart given is just too amazing.

If it doesn't already use astrologers, the CIA should perhaps pay attention to astrological charts right now because it certainly looks as if the terrorists are using them in order to figure out "who's next" of their own crowd. If you want to make sure that you are successful at killing people, it sure does help to have a strong Sun-Pluto transit going on (among other transits).

Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi is the second terrorist with Sun in early Capricorn Sun who is attempting to attack the United States. The man who tried to blow up the Northeast Airlines plane on Dec. 25 was the other one.

Right now this point is under a lot of stress as there is not only Pluto right on the spot, but a huge Outer Planet t-square of planets that really like to play havoc with society when they are working together. Pluto represents Power and Death and Extreme Obsessions and right now the Sun (Power also) has been passing over it. This Summer will probably be the most intense expression of this t-square and the Sun opposes Pluto and the t-square becomes its most exact.

Further emphasizing the tension on these spots of the wheel, there are 3 Eclipse sets starting last Summer and continuing to next Summer that are aspecting the Cancer/Capricorn Axis.

Have to admit that my reason for trying to look up al-Balawi's today was because of an article I just read saying that his wife is proud of what he did. I wanted to look at his chart to see what kind of "Bitch" aspects he had. Who was wearing the pants in that household? Who would gladly turn her husband from a Medical Doctor/Healer to a murderer. I know that people say that women would never create evil in the world because we're all lovey dovey, but, man, that is just such a lie.

Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi
b. Dec. 25, 1977 Kuwait (no city given)

Sun 4 Capricorn; NN 11 Libra; Moon Gemini or Cancer

The main parts of al-Balawi's chart show total emphasis on early degrees Cardinal, which are the affected points. Pluto is currently passing over his Sun. Saturn is currently approaching his natal North Node-Pluto conjunction. His Moon may be in Cancer.

What's really bizarre is that al-Balawi was born with both Mercury and Mars Retrograde. Both of these planets are moving in Retrograde together in the current sky and Mars is actually in the same sign of Leo at both point (Mars Return in Retrograde - that's pretty rare).

Natal Mars is squaring rebellious Uranus in Scorpio which shows a person who likes excitement.

Al-Balawi also had Sun opposing Jupiter at 1 Cancer-Lilith 28 Gemini-Moon either Gemini or Cancer (2 Cancer at noon). Sun opposing Jupiter shows the Religious extremism side of this man, and as oppositions tend to show relationships we get into (Opposites) it can show the partner as well.

Jupiter is probably conjunct the Moon (women) and even perhaps disposits to the Moon. It also is in conjunction to good old Lilith which represents the wild side of women. In addition, on the other side of the opposition, the Sun is in conjunction with Venus in Sagittarius (which disposits back to Jupiter, and also references a woman who might like to see her husband commit Jihad. Al-Balawi's wife is represented by Jupiter-Sagittarius themes. These can be religious extremism, opinions, strong beliefs systems, especially in difficult aspect to the natal chart as it is. Jupiter is emphasized in al-Balawi's chart as it is a lead planet to a bowl shape (which further shows a man who might defer too much power to his wife's needs).

Al-Balawi was just past his Saturn Return in Virgo (Rx in natal). Saturn in Virgo is pretty insecure and the Rx doesn't help with that. In this chart there is a Grand Earth Trine between Saturn and Chiron and Sun-Venus. That shows the interest in becoming a Doctor. I suspect that Grand Trines are very common in the charts of Double Agents. Problems have a tendency to just slip under the cracks for these people. Saturn in Virgo can indicate a martyr as Virgo/Pisces is related to such subjects. People, i.e. the CIA, will also trust Virgo. It's an earth sign that seems to show no ambitions or motivations. They can always sound like they are talking so straight from the hip.

The progressions seem to reinforce some of the problems in al-Balawi's chart. Because his natal Jupiter at 1 Cancer and is Retrograde, it has been in long-term progression with natal Lilith his whole life. Jupiter expands whatever it touches. This is a long-term stress aspect of always looking for balance in others and finding really wigged out situations.

This energy would be reinforced by the Natal North Node in Libra which is conjunct Pluto in Libra.

And also, progressed Sun has always stayed in conjunction with progressed Venus as well and the two are conjunct to the degree right now at 6 Aquarius. That's another influence which shows great charms, vanity, and also a lot of female influence in the life. I've mentioned before how I feel that Sun-Venus conjunctions in progressions can indicate suicidal tendencies --- this is an extreme example. The Suicide bomber may have begun to develop more rebellious needs to fight on behalf of humanity about 5 years ago as p.Sun-Venus changed signs into Aquarius. Natal Mars is at 11 Leo just opposing that spot and in Rx his whole life so far, so would have been opposite Sun-Venus (and squaring natal Uranus).

This guy had that shy, reserved Capricorn Sun trine Saturn in Virgo with all this need for excitement and religious experience bubbling underneath. And the Pluto on the North Node which needs to create change.

The Wikipedia article mentioned that al-Balawi's family had had to leave his native Kuwait in 1990 during the Iraq invasion. I wanted to quickly see if there were some kind of leftover trauma which occurred at that time which al-Balawi perhaps couldn't have recovered from easily. The indicators are there.

I tend to think that Uranus and Pluto transits, etc. will show when traumatic events will happen. Doesn't hurt if Mars and Saturn are playing along.

In 1990, Uranus was passing over al-Balawi's natal Sun-Venus. Also Pluto was passing over his natal Uranus.

Another big aspect was that at this time al-Zawahiri was going through his Jupiter Return. A trauma at this time in his life could have magnified this one planet in his chart. (This is what my whole research project is about right now but that's another story)

I've discussed what a prominent influence Jupiter was in al-Balawi's chart. As Jupiter is located on 1 Cancer which is related to strong attachment to and need to care for home, heritage, and homeland I think this is the most prominent factor. Cancer rules feelings and attachments that one can't let go of easily. His loyalities would have become very important to him, as well as a strong devotion and need to care for others. Imagine how difficult it would be to have to process this Jupiter. During the first Jupiter Return, when this man was around 11-12 years old, his family (Cancer) has to evacuate their country (Cancer) due to War. Jupiter in this chart is lead planet of a bowl shape. What this means is that at the time it is opposing the Sun-Venus-Mercury at the same time. Then over the next 6 or so years Jupiter hits all the other planets in the chart and hits that other side of the bowl. That's a lot of intense stimulation and growth with nothing on the other side to balance the energy (no planet opposing from the other side). Then for the next 6 years Jupiter would pass through the empty side of the bowl, opposing all the natal planets (except for Chiron, wonder if that's when he decided to become a doctor). This is a problem of the bowl shaped chart for anyone. There's always a sense of everything being lopsided, especially since the cycle began with the type of trauma which is devastating for most people. With Jupiter, it would be too much of one thing, then too much of the other. Plus, Jupiter is related to Religion.

Well, that doesn't make sense. Sorry for the ramble.

Susan Boyle

There's a very informative thread at Noel Tyl's forum concerning Susan Boyle's birth data along with brilliant observations about her chart with regards to her recent fame. Anyways, thank you to the great astrologers over there.

Boyle is the Scottish woman who recently auditioned for Britain's Got Talent and completely shocked and wowed the audience with her wonderful singing. When the show aired on Apr. 10 she became an instant international success. It couldn't be any other way with an Aquarius Midheaven. At any rate, from what I hear, this is an excellent example of the type of career successes a person with a conjunction of Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune transiting the 10th House can have.

Susan Boyle
b. Apr. 1, 1961 Bathgate, Scotland 9:50 BST

Sun 12 Aries; Moon 13 Libra; ASC 29 Gemini; MC16 Aquarius; NN 5 Virgo

First thing I thought about was that Boyle at age 47 is going through a Jupiter Return. Her natal Jupiter is in Aquarius so it's full of surprises. Jupiter, of course, rules Luck. Boyle's Jupiter is special because it is in a conjunction with her Saturn over the cusp in Capricorn. This is the same 1961 Jupiter-Saturn conjunction that President Obama has and he has shot to amazing success this year as well.

An interesting story on the Wikipedia entry is that Susan's Mother was 47 when she gave birth to Susan. So Susan is the same age her Mother was when she was born and so they share a Jupiter Return. Since her Mother recently died I have no doubt that she's hanging on Susan's shoulder and giving her a boost in life. 47 was pretty old for a woman to be giving birth back in 1961 and apparently caused some complications with Susan's breathing at birth. It looks as if the Saturn conjunction with the Jupiter was maybe a way of holding her back until this moment. Saturn makes you wait. It also can show a flowering late in life and can indicate an older parent in some way.

The date for the actual performance I believe may have been Jan. 21, 2009 in Glasgow, Scotland. According to (http://forum.unrealitytv.co.uk/index.php?topic=6250.0) the actual auditions may have been on Oct. 22, 23,24, 2008. I get the feeling that some of this surprise was a bit staged, not that there's anything wrong with that. I just don't think the show let Boyle out on that live stage without knowing who they were sending on.

At any rate, on Jan. 21, Boyle was celebrating her Jupiter Return within a degree. It was also conjunct the Sun in Aquarius and Mercury in Capricorn. And remember that it was also conjunct her natal Saturn. So maybe it was her Father who was helping her out. Either way, Saturn equals Career and Social Standing and Ambition. The North Node (Destiny) was at 10 Aquarius having just passed over Boyle's Midheaven which rules all the same things as Saturn.

Mercury rules Boyle's Ascendant which represents Appearance. Interesting that her older, perhaps dowdy physical appearance is being used as a lesson for us all not to judge people by appearances. Mercury here is in the sign of age, Capricorn and is conjunct Saturn. The combination of Gemini ASC and Aquarius Midheaven is always a bit unpredictable.

If this birth data is correct Susan is an Aries born on a Full Moon within a degree. Interesting that her Moon is conjunct Simon Cowell's Sun within a degree. She is being called something like "The Woman Who Shut Simon Up." Or made him speechless, or something like that.

Anyways, Aries Suns are the most lyrical singers. They naturally lead with directness and an ability to flow. I can hear that in the way Susan sings. They don't fiddle with unnecessary doo-dads and embellishment. Billie Holiday and Aretha Franklin are Aries Suns.

Venus rules the voice along with Mercury. Susan's natal Venus is in Aries and is Retrograde. It's just very interesting that she was revealed to the world during a Venus Rx. That would be close to her Venus return (natal Venus at 27 Aries so she's really getting everything she can out of this one).

Venus Rx Aries natally could explain her problems in childhood in which she was thought to have some brain (Aries) deficiency and suffered a popularity problem among her peers (Venus Rx). My new keyword for Venus Rx is "popularity problem". Venus stationed direct by progression exactly on Susan's Sun (Ego, Creativity, Limelight, Vitality) back in 1991-92. I wonder if this was a turnaround time for her with regards to coming out of her shell. I saw that she took lessons in 1995 and recorded in 1999. The progressions, of course, are very slow moving as they show psychological and spiritual development in a person.
