Astrology of the India Plane Crash in Mangalore



Horoscope and astrological planetary aspects of the India Plane Crash, Flight IX812, in Mangalore, India, May 2010 - Developing Story



The plane crashed at about 06h30m local (GMT-5h30m) on 22 May 2010. It appears that the airport is located on top of a cliff and that the jet crashed on an attempted landing, overrunning the runway, falling down this cliff and catching fire. The exact location is 12°57'41"N 74°53'24"E. The Air India Express Flight 812 had departed from Dubai (United Arab Emirates) at 1h35m local (GMT+4) on 22 May 2010 at location 25°15'10"N 55°21'22"E.


ATTENTION READERS...!
Before downloading the astrological charts, readers are advised that I have now found, in what are considered "serious" publications,  various times for the accident, as well as varied times also for the taking-off of the plane in Dubai. As for the other articles of this blog, I'll complete when I can be certain figures are right. Do take account of this.
From Wikipedia, it is reported that this jet was a Boeing 737-800. The pilot, Mr. Zlatko Glusica, was very experienced, with more than 10,000 hours and knew the airport well, having already made 19 landings there. According to his FaceBook profile, he celebrated his birthday on 16 May 2010. Various news sources report he was either 53 or 55. According to this official source, he was born 16 May 1955 in Bela Crkva (Former Yugoslavia). His time of birth is unknown. He was married with three children.

158 passengers are dead. There are reports of 8 survivors, but precise indications are lacking at the moment. One or some of them, jumped out of the aircraft, or were ejected from it, when it started breaking up before splitting on the edge of the cliff and plunging in the valley. The list of survivors has been published on NDTV. A list of passengers has been published in the newspaper The Hindu. Other lists, by category, have been published by Air India Express (click here: crew, survivors, total list of passengers). It may be useful to save them for future reference, as such lists rarely stay long on Internet pages.
There is confusion on reports that the runway is reportedly short and the bad weather conditions may have been a factor. The airport is well known for being a "table top" airport, which creates optical illusions for pilots and make landing vey tricky. (See my astrology article on Libya plane crash for references on spatial disorientation). It seems that the aircraft touched down beyond the touchdown zone and overshot the runway when, for some reason, the plane either did not brake enough or a tyre burst. It fell from the cliff at the end of the runway. Some reports indicated that there was a light drizzle but not out of ordinary. The BBC has a good coverage and videos of the plane crash.

The aircraft first flight was on 20 December, 2007, at Renton Airport, WA, USA, under the registration N1787B. The plane was delivered to Air India Express on 15 January 2008 and it obtained its above registration on 21 January 2008. It is not yet known when the plane performed its first commercial flight.



As mentioned in one of my previous posts, the astrological planetary aspects for 2010 are not good for planes and the traveling industry. This plane crash horoscope is a case in point. So far, for the 5 months of 2010, the toll for victims of aviation crashes is almost double the 10 year average.

The geocentric chart shows many traditionally malefic astrological aspects. The heavy planets Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune are all placed in difficult positions. Neptune features strongly being dignified at the MidHeaven, Sun has just risen. Chiron continues to be conjunct to Neptune. The Saturn Uranus opposition is closing in, Jupiter is approaching Uranus.

The heliocentric chart is also very heavily afflicted, with Mars having just past the opposition to Uranus and coming soon to the conjunction of Saturn. Saturn, for its part, is applying to the square of Pluto. Again, as in previous tragedies, the minor planets seem to be placed in exact or almost exact aspects.

Horoscope and astrological planetary aspects of the Libya Jet Crash, Flight 8U-771, in Tripoli, 2010



For the Libyan jets that defected to Malta during the Libya Blood Rivers Revolution, please see this article on 21 February 2011: Libya Blood Rivers Revolution #1

Below are the preliminary horoscope charts for the Libya plane crash, flight Afriqiyah 8U-771, which occurred between 04h00m and 04h10m (UT) at Tripoli Airport (Libyan Arab Jamahirya) on 12 May 2010, coordinates 32°54'N and 13°11'W. Here is a pdf of the airport layout.

The plane crashed upon landing and exploded in millions of fragments. There is one survivor, a child, and 103 dead. All the information I have managed to gather is below and will be completed as and when more details become available. The passenger list has been published (if that link does not work in the future, try this one where I have copied the list.

NUPDATE: In an article published in the very serious Wall Street Journal, sources say that there was nothing wrong with the plane, that the Co-Pilot was flying, and that both became disoriented in the approach... Whenever I see an official report, I'll post the link here.

The astrology aspects occur during a generally difficult planetary period, with Mercury stationary going direct on the same day. In the general atmosphere of this month, a rather catastrophic list of aspects between Saturn take place. These are: opposition Uranus and Jupiter, quincunx Moon, Neptune, and Chiron, two Mars-Uranus and Mars-Pluto sesquisquare. In the helio chart, one notes the on-going applying Saturn-Pluto square, an applying Mars Neptune quincunx and Mars Uranus opposition. The astrological analysis will be completed a little later, when details of the airplane crash are better known. The picture on the right is reproduced with the permission of the photographer, pilot Chris Smith, at airliners.net (click for large photo), and was taken on the day after delivery to Libya, on 9 September 2009.

At any rate, the first half of this year is just not good for anything related to aircrafts and the airplane and travel industries. The astrology charts below are provisional until more details are known, so they may change in the next few days. Please take account of this before downloading.

Facts on the Libya plane crash


It is not clear whether the jet exploded on crashing, or whether it exploded before crashing. The plane was landing West to East in the rising sun amidst reduced visibility owing to a sand haze. It remains to be confirmed whether the jet was brought down when in the earth's shadow just before this sun rise. The photographs on the scene of this crash show mostly very small pieces, which would either confirm a high vertical velocity - if the plane exploded on impact - or a very unusual attitude. It may be that the pilots suffered from spatial disorientation plus the haze plus the sun glare (whiteout). References are here: (1) FAA; (2) Air Safety Foundation; (3) Wikipedia.


Astrology - Google Image of Libya where A8771 crashed 2010
Remarks by professionals on various forums on the Internet are critical of the state of the runway and of the standards of air traffic control. It is not yet known whether this played a role in this tragedy and whether the pilots encountered some problem or made an error. It is understood that the Libyan Civil Aviation Authorities had been warned about poor standards, although this would be subject to proper verification, as various Internet sources are contradictory on this subject. The airport facilities were not as modern as in some countries. The weather was good but hazy. The plane crashed 900 meters from runway number 09. This is the 4th plane crash at Tripoli airport.


Here are the records of the previous crashes in Tripoli, kept by Aviation Safety Network:

1989 - ASN Aircraft accident McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 HL7328 Tripoli
1971 - ASN Aircraft accident de Havilland DH-106 Comet 4C SU-ALC Tripoli International Airport (TIP)
1970 - ASN Aircraft accident Tupolev 104A OK-NDD Tripoli


The aircraft was en route from Johannesburg in South Africa to Tripoli (Libya) and, according to this news source, it departed on 11 May 2010 at 19h37m UT. Many passengers had onward bookings for European destinations. Among them there were 62 Dutch people, a group of 38 who had gone on holidays from Düsseldof (Germany), and another of 24 from Brussels (Belgium). There is one 8 year-old Dutch child who survived; all other 103 passengers and crew, out of 104, have perished.

Facts on the plane and Afriqiyah Airways


The plane was an Airbus A330-200 registered 5A-ONG, msn 1024. According to Astro-Transport-Data-Bank, the almost brand new aircraft had 1,600 hours of flight, with 420 cycles. The French airbus company have promised full help in the forthcoming investigation.

First Flight or Maiden Flight of 5A-ONG - Geocentric and heliocentric charts


According to Aviation-Safety.net, its first (maiden) flight was on 12 August 2009 (in Toulouse, France). However, on Airliners.Net, there is a photograph of this plane on 29 May 2009. Officially, according to this official database, Airfleets.net, her maiden flight was definitely on 12 August 2009. Unfortunately, I have no time and no location, though I suspect it took place in Toulouse (France). As in the case of the AF447 plane, I have decided to draw the charts for 12 noon. The first reason is that it's tradition, the second reason is that as a commercial plane, the time of 12 noon would put the Sun somewhere near the Midheaven, in IX, X or XIth houses, which is appropriate for a commercial plane. That said, the angles and the Moon could be well off, so interpretation of the charts need to concentrate on the other points. Click on the charts below to view them in a large window.


On the geocentric side, it's immediately apparent that something will go wrong with this plane. Mars is exactly square Saturn, so tragedy would strike it at some point.
The extent to which a tragedy is shown in the chart is indicated by: the treble conjunction of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron, the nodes across the IV/X axis, Mercury conjunct Sappho, Sun square the Accursed Degree of the Accursed Sign... Pluto is conjunct Fixed Star Speculum, which is an unusual one, and malefic at that. The Moon, angular in VIIth in Taurus, is contraparallel Pluto, in Capricorn in IIIrd, the Moon being in mutual reception with Venus. A beautiful object costing a lot of money (in more ways than one, because that crash will prove very costly to the airline).

Although Mars, in Gemini in IX, is applying to the trine of the treble conjunction of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius, it's also, at the same time, applying to a square to Uranus in Pisces in the VIth. So this is a plane that looks good, full of energy (Mars), famous (Jupiter), which represents ideals (Neptune), it's also unstable and untidy in its movements (Gemini), prone to "nerves" (square to Uranus - electric problems?), with precipitation in action (going too fast, or reacting too fast). Ten degrees later, Mars will come to the opposition of Pluto (this plane crashed 10 months after its maiden flight).

The astrology chart is also full of minor aspects (not shown because it clutters the drawing). There are numerous quincunxes showing hesitation or lack of proper direction. Mercury is parallel Saturn at the same time as both are widely conjunct, in Virgo. So dignified Mercury holds dominion over Saturn and over Mars and Sappho. This certainly means the crews piloting this particular plane would generally be suitably qualified and old enough to make appropriate decisions.

Since it does not look like there is a "factory" defect in the plane, any future mishap would have to be provoked by other planets than Saturn or Mercury. This could happen with only two possibilities,
  • (1) exterior factors; or
  • (2) factors involving the crew without it being their fault.
Among those factors, one needs to look at Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto. Neptune: fog, haze, optical illusions. Jupiter: overconfidence/over-reliance in technical equipment. Uranus: electrical problems. Pluto: something destructive. Lack of maintenance of the owner, lack of maintenance of the home of the owner (airport) is a very small possibility, not likely in my mind, because ruler of IVth is Saturn, which although debilitated in Virgo, is completely slave to a strong Mercury, so this is really a negligible possibility (but I could be wrong, since the time of the maiden flight is not known).


There's also a strange combination of fixed stars over Mercury, Sappho and Saturn, and the opposition to Uranus: Avior (Epsilon (ε) Carina in Argo Navis) and Delta Velorum (the sails in that same constellation). In a way, one could almost read the "sails" as the "wings" of this (air) ship. Anne Wright, in the articles on these stars, quoting Manilius and others, says that this can also mean "sign, flag", which would be appropriate to this plane, as it was one of the flagships of the fleet. Libya was a very active partner of the African Union and had painted its birth date on the fin of the planes (the most visible sign/flag). And the wings have been clipped (Mars) from air to earth (Saturn: earth, Mercury: earth and air). As for the whole constellation of the Argos Navis. I'll quote this author, but I strongly suggest you read the three articles in those links.
"Whoever is born on earth at the rising of Argo will be the captain of a ship; holding fast to his helm, he will forsake dry land for the sea and pursue his fortune with the winds; he will crave to traverse the entire ocean with his fleet, visit foreign climes and the deep Phasis, and better the speed of Tiphys towards the rocks (the Symplegades)....
The Libyan Afriqia Airways company was founded with the aim of beating low-cost airlines at their own game, at the same time as reinstating the Libya as an African influence of importance. Mercury and Saturn in Virgo are the epitome of "low cost". Looks like Saturn cut short this aim and Mars punctured a big balloon.

As for heliocentric aspects, if anything, they are worse and possibly the final clue to the end of this plane. Sappho, conjunct to Saturn, is opposite Uranus, and it's exact within a day. Sedna is opposed Mercury. Fixed star Avior is exactly conjunct Saturn. Mercury, just past a square to Earth, applies to the square of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron.

The whole configuration makes a tremendously powerful T-square, which is not balanced by much good, since the same quadruple conjunction is also quincunx Saturn. It also forms two mystical triangles if one counts Ceres in the configurations (square + quincunx + trine). These minor planets really ought to be the subject of some in-depth research. Venus and Mars are attacked by Pluto, there's a Yod with Eris at the apex and Mercury and Saturn on the other sides. In the parallels of declination, between some very tight orbs and some less so, there's Earth, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Juno and Vesta contacting each other. Too fast (Mars), too untidy (Uranus), too confident (Jupiter), too technical (Uranus), too much in a hurry to get home (Juno and Vesta), all meeting Earth... Not much good all that!

Plane delivery to Afriqiya Airways - Geocentric and heliocentric astrology charts


The possible confusion on dates exists for the delivery of the plane, with one photo on 8 September 2009 and another on the day after. It's symbolically important when that plane was delivered, as it bears the livery of the date of the birth of the African Union, on 9 September 1999. The plane, an Airbus A330, was supposed to have been delivered on the 10th commemoration of this important date. In fact, the aircraft was delivered in Tripoli Airport on 8 September 2009 and it was expected to land at about 16h00 local time (GMT +2). I have been unable to find a more accurate time than that. The charts for the jet's arrival are below, click on them to see the big screen charts.

One would quickly note that on the day the plane arrived in Libya, on the geocentric chart, Saturn is applying to the opposition of Uranus ("breaking an aircraft"), involving houses VIII, IX, and II/III ("death in travel"). Curiously, Moon is at ease, angular in the IVth in Taurus. Well, one could say the plane was "going home"... which it was also on the day of the crash.

The chart, from the point of view of major aspects is "average bad" because of the heavies, but the lighter planets are not much in emphasis in a bad way. However, the minor aspects are numerous and support my theory that such an abundance is probably not a good thing. At any rate, that new plane does not look like it suffered from any major technical fault - this would involve Mercury, Mars and Saturn, but it is not the case, particularly as Mercury and Saturn are in mutual reception. Note that if the time of landing is about right, we have some fixed stars on the ASC/DSC axis, Vega and Sirius, respectively, with Miaplacidus on the MC, but they are fortunate here. Perhaps this is what helped the little boy who survived.

The annoying little asteroids are playing up as well with Sappho opposed to Uranus, Juno smack on top of the cusp of III and square Pluto, Lilith conjunct the North Node Rahu.

The declinational aspects are few but interesting: Moon parallel Venus, and both contraparallel Pluto and Jupiter. Something big, emotional, destructive, and costing a lot of money. It certainly is the case that the plane was beautifully decorated (Venus), awakened emotions (African Unity symbol), political power (Pluto and Jupiter, perhaps not in the best way). Mars is almost out of bounds in Cancer, the child - Cancer/Moon) was thrown out (Mars "Out)? And one finds again a minor planet, Sappho, parallel Uranus.

On the heliocentric chart, the Saturn opposition to Uranus was exact the day before, Earth is applying by 9° to Uranus (9 months left to live???), Saturn is quincunx both Jupiter and Neptune. There's pesky little Juno which is conjunct to Uranus (see my remarks about these minor planets in the previous posts. They always seem to show up somewhere significant in disasters). Venus and Mars are on critical degrees and connecting to Pluto. Jupiter and Uranus are parallel in the latitudes, with Venus contraparallel them both. Pluto and Sappho are contraparallel.

So, from the above chart, one could have said, in anticipation, that there would be some problems with this plane. Whether one could have predicted the crash is perhaps best seen in conjunction with the other charts concerning this accident.

to view the different photos of the plane. If I get permission from the authors of these photographs, I'll put up the pictures themselves on this blog.

Afriqiyah Airways was founded in April 2001 and reorganised in 2007; it is owned by the Libyan Government. It started scheduled services on 1st December 2001. It has Airbus planes only. The average age of the fleet is 5 years.


Was the Icelandic volcanic ash to blame?


It is not known either if the volcanic ash plume from Iceland played a role or not. The volcano dust maps for yesterday and today did indicate that North Africa was at risk of volcanic ashes. I have dug out the ash maps from London VAAG from my computer but these do not show any significant amount of volcanic ash near Libya. After a second look at my sources, I cannot find a trace of volcanic ashes around Tripoli for that date and time.

I have other satellite photographs which show sand dust which would explain the haze described in the news articles, but these are usual conditions for this time of the year. Here is a satellite picture of sand over Eastern Libya, I did not find one for Western Libya where Tripoli is situated.


Astrology Horoscope Geocentric and heliocentric charts of the plane crash


I have set the chart for 04h05 GMT (06h05 local) because the time is not yet known with accuracy. Reading the article on the Internet makes me think it might have happened before sunrise, a few minutes before 04h00.

There was an Alitalia plane, flight AZ871, waiting for take-off and the crew saw the crash. According to the links provided, this Italian aircraft departed at 05h50 local (03h50 GMT). There were also planes waiting to land behind it, of which one of them also saw the tragedy. You might need to register with this site to see the full history of the landings and taking-offs of the planes (it's free, and there's no virus or spam associated with this site, I checked).

At first glance, if the plane crashed at around 04h00 GMT, the rising sign was in Taurus. Moon, in the last degrees of Aries in the XIIth was in a Yod with Saturn and Neptune. Mercury, which was just becoming direct again, was also in Taurus in the XIIth, in a trine to Pluto and a semi-square to Venus.
Note this: Mercury in Taurus and Venus in Gemini are in mutual reception and linked by a semi-square. Air (ME) in the ground (TAU) against ground (VE) in the air (GEM). Both planets being rulers of earth and air signs and badly linked.

When examining disaster, one tends to look at the heavy planets first, but in this chart, you also need to look at innocuous "inferior" planets and remember they were both considered major in the Babylonian times and were supposed to wreak terrible events when badly placed in the sky. I think that's what happened here, these two were major contributors. Not only was the sun rising, or just before or just after, which may have caused temporary blindness with the pilots (even though Pleiades is not emphasised), but Moon was becoming a New Moon, and Mercury would have been visible in the sky with naked eyes, if the mist or desert sand dust was not too strong. And at the time of the crash, Jupiter also would have been very visible if there had not been any fog.

This question of weather at the time of the crash is a vexing one, because METARS (the meteorological maps for aircrafts) mentioned good, hazy with diminishing visibility by the minute. So, depending on the exact time of the crash, the crew either had extremely good, or very bad, weather. For 0400Z (i.e. GMT) as is the time declared by the authorities, Mars was exactly square the ASC, angular in the IVth and ruler of the Moon. The descent would have been too fast and the reaction of the crew to rectify the situation would also have been (emotional - Moon) too fast (Mars). Saturn and Uranus are opposed almost exactly, while Uranus is in a critical degree.


The role played by ATC (air traffic controllers) would be shown by Mercury and, possibly, by Saturn (control). Strongly malefic Mercury rules Saturn in Virgo in the Vth, which house may be partly ruled by a rising Sun (depending on the time). Looks like some rumors on some pilots' forum are not too far from the astrological truth. ATC would have been debilitated with these planets. With respect to technical difficulties with the plane itself, one should look again at Mercury, and possibly Uranus. There's a sesquisquare between Uranus and Mars, no relation between Mercury and Uranus, Uranus is opposite Saturn and is ruled by strongly benefic Jupiter. A technical defect of the plane looks like it can be ruled out. However, the planets are not that strong and it maybe that the attempts to correct the plane's course may have surprised the pilots or the plane's reaction to commands was unexpected to the crew.

The placement of Pluto is ambiguous. It has a number of rather bad minor aspects with rather unpleasant minor planets, and a good trine to Mercury. In Capricorn in VIIIth it's ruled by a debilitated Saturn and secondarily by a rogue and strong Mars. This would to some extent explain the fragmentation of the plane into millions of unrecognizable pieces, save the tail fin and parts of the wheels and wings. Thinking aloud... fragmentation as in... as some people may have thought. The authorities were quite prompt to dismiss such a possibility and frankly, the chart is not that bad that it would indicate third parties tampering with this plane. This is despite the contraparallel of declination between Sun and Pluto.


There is a possibility that Neptune throws a mantle of illusion and deception with respect to what really happened, but this should not last long (Sun in XIIth). In this particular chart, it does look like the authorities are going to be very keen to demonstrate what happened, perhaps after some initial resistance from some quarters. This is because Neptune has very few links to the XIIth of hidden processes, also because Jupiter which is very benefic in this chart rules the VIIIth of death and secrecy. Finally, Pluto is slave to Saturn in Virgo, Saturn ruling the IXth, and it will demand the truth (which will come from abroad - IXth) at any cost (Mercury-Saturn-Virgo links). Besides, Mercury and Lilith in contraparallel will make it so that speculations will need to be quashed if this airline is to recover.

Turning to the heliocentric chart, see that Venus in Leo is strongly angular in IVth, if one take account of the angles in heliocentric astrology, and it also rules the ASC. There's something of a theme repeated there, haste to get home, and a child (Leo) who survives. It's exactly quincunx Pluto in Capricorn within minutes during the flight and that is telling. Something big, powerful, nasty, destroyed (Pluto) the beauty of home (Venus). It struck its belly first (Venus IVth).

To be continued....

2010 Poland Presidential Elections Campaign Horoscopes - Kaczynski - Part I - Updated 2 May 2010


Astrology Charts for the Poland Presidential Election 2010 - Mr. Jaroslaw Kaczyński

UPDATE 6 May 2010
At 13h30m in Warsaw, it was announced that Mr. Jaroslaw Kaczynski has collected 1.65 million signatures! CONGRATULATIONS!

Below are the astrology charts for Mr. Jaroslaw Kaczyński, now a candidate to the Poland Presidential Election, after the death of his twin brother in the Smolensk plane crash on 10 April 2010 at 10h56m (Russian time). This article has been updated and a fully detailed analysis of the horoscopes has been added.

The horoscope for the official announcement of his bid for the Polish presidency is set for 26 April 2010, 14h54m, Poland Time, and for Wroclaw. The reason for placing the astrological chart in Wroclaw rather than Warsaw is because the announcement was to be made immediately after the funeral of Ms. Aleksandra Natalli-Swiat [see her horoscope in the Victims' List] which Mr. Jaroslaw Kaczyński attended. The written press release was precisely timed and embargoed until 15h00m. Mr. Kaczyński delivered his speech at 14h54m from the place of the funeral, Wroclaw (Mercury being presently retrograde will have hastened it by a few minutes!).

From Wikipedia: Candidates were required to register by 26 April 2010 at 16h30m (with 1,000 signatures of voters in support) and submit 100,000 signatures by 6 May 2010. If necessary, a run-off will be held on 4 July 2010.

Originally, Lech Kaczynski was up for re-election in autumn (between 19 September and 3 October; the exact date would have been announced between 23 May and 23 June), before the end of his first five-year term of office. Two candidates for the election died in the crash. There are now, at the time of writing, 20 candidates for this election; they are all men.

On the basis of the analysis of the astrological charts below, the possibility that Mr. Jaroslaw Kaczynski obtain the 100,000 signatures necessary to run for the Polish Presidential Election is high.

The charts below however do show a success mitigated by sorrow and it is difficult to extract the essence of the question which is: "Will Mr. J. Kaczynski obtain the 100,000 signatures required".

On the basis of pure intuition, I'd say he'll get these signatures, but there might well be a number that are not validated and Mr. Kaczynski would be well advised to submit much more than just 100,000 to be on the safe side. If he could obtain 50% more, he'd be safe. He will also need to be quite an astute politician to wave aside the critics of the way he obtained them as some of his opponents will come into light with very nasty remarks. Hammering and repeating is not enough, there is need for more subtlety and less emotion. Order needs to be done in his family. The family support is lukewarm and he needs to know exactly where he stands with them. A word to the wise, he should pay attention to his physical needs and get sufficient sleep, good food, and avoid as much as possible stressful situations, particularly during any travelling.
UPDATE 6 May 2010
At 13h30m in Warsaw, it was announced that Mr. Jaroslaw Kaczynski has collected 1.65 million signatures! CONGRATULATIONS!


Below are:

  • the texts of (1) the written press release and (2) text of the speech announcing Mr. J. Kaczynski candidacy, and

  • the technical analysis of each of the horoscope charts involved in this question. The level of detail is high and the analysis is written specifically for astrology students and experts by illustrating step-by-step the delineation of the various points of the charts. Only the most significant aspects have been studied in depth.

Here is the text of the written press release:
26.04.10 14:59

Jaroslaw Kaczynski presidential candidate

Jaroslaw Kaczynski is the Law and Justice candidate in the June presidential elections. In a special statement, the President of the Law and Justice has called for cooperation "of all who wish to continue the work of the victims of the tragedy of Smolensk."

President Kaczynski wrote that in a crash near Smolensk Poland lost its most distinguished citizens, and many people lost their loved ones. "He left my beloved brother and his wife, left my warm, long-time friends and colleagues from our Law and Justice party, which I will never forget" - added the President of the PiS. He also reminded the other died in a tragic accident.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski stressed that, despite the tremendous grief and pain over the loss of loved ones, should continue the work of all those who died near Smolensk. "Though steeped in pain and mourning, bound with everlasting memory loss, we are obliged to fill in their wills" - wrote the President of the PiS. He added that the decision to start the election required of him and his colleagues overcome personal suffering and take the job in spite of personal tragedy. PiS President stressed that at this time can count on the support of the entire family.
And here is the text of the speech by Mr. Kaczyński
Ladies and Gentlemen, 
On April 10 in the crash died in Smolensk Polish President Lech Kaczynski and Mrs Maria. Along with them, in a tragic and incomprehensible catastrophe, which for reasons not yet known, suffered the death of 94 people accompanying the Presidential Couple, including the last President of Poland in exile Ryszard Kaczorowski, the Solidarity legend Anna Walentynowicz - steadfast fighter for freedom, justice and truth, representatives of Families Katyn - stalwart guardians of the memory of the Katyn massacre, politicians, soldiers, veterans, clergy, officers of the Polish state, leading representatives of many backgrounds. They died almost at the end, near the graves of thousands of Poles murdered by the Soviets at Katyn. Led them there, convinced that the truth and the memory of the victims of this crime deserve special respect. 
Poles dignity and severally paid homage to the victims of this tragedy, prayed for the dead. And they still do, after the end of official mourning. White-red flag with a black pall, still hang in many Polish homes. Thousands of people, and was accompanied by the last accompanied by his friends, colleagues. We were in those days together. We are together. 
Exceptionally ordeal met in these days of all those who lost their relatives in Smolensk - wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, grandparents, grandchildren, sisters and brothers. The pain, the suffering, have been, are and will continue my participation. 
He left my beloved brother and his wife, left my warm, long friends and colleagues from our Law and Justice party, which I will never forget. 
Moves members, senators, ministers government with other political formations, which I respected and with whom I cooperated.

They died the most important institutions of state governors and prominent representatives of many organizations and groups. The soldiers, the commander of the Armed Forces. Poland is proud of them.

On the gallant service of the fallen brave pilots and stewardesses of the 36th Special Air Transport Regiment, officers of Government Protection Bureau. 
Poland lost prominent Poles.

Tragically interrupted life President of the Republic, the death of the patriotic Polish elite, a means for us: we need to complete their mission. We owe them, we owe it to our homeland. While immersed in pain and mourning, bound for an eternal memory loss, we are obliged to fill in their wills. 
Poland is our common, big commitment. Needing to overcome the personal suffering, take the job in spite of personal tragedy. 
So I decided to run for the office of the Polish President. I have the family support that decision.

All who wish to continue the work of Smolensk disaster victims who want the right of Poland and righteous Poles - how beautiful it is, said the President of Solidarity, Janusz Śniadek - always raised their heads, I call for cooperation. Let us be together. For Polish. Poland is the most important.

Here is the Geocentric Astrology Chart for the Announcement by Mr. Kaczyński that he is running for the Polish Presidency

Astrology-Horoscope-Announcement-Jaroslaw-Kaczynski-running-for-Poland-Presidency-Geocentric-ChartThis announcement came after the funeral of a highly respected woman and was done in a most sober manner. Mercury rules the AS in Virgo, which is appropriate to the chart. Mercury is in Taurus (feminine sign), retrograde, in the IXth (the Church).

It is in mutual reception with Venus in Gemini, angular to the MC from the IXth. Juno, a feminine asteroid, is strong by being almost exactly conjunct the MC. It makes a quincunx to Pluto in the IVth in Capricorn and could be taken as representative of an emotional patriotism in Government. This is also appropriate to the 2 statements announcing this candidacy.

One may interpret this Mercury retrograde and combust as malefic; however, see that Mercury and the Sun are applying to each other, resulting in Cazimi for Mercury. This may cause Mercury to give good surprises rather than bad ones.

Whether this good turn will affect the outcome of this announcement remains to be seen because the horoscope is afflicted by the almost exact opposition from Saturn to Uranus, from the ASC (and close to the IInd) to the VIIth (close to the VIIIth). This certainly would illustrate a statement done in the shadows of sadness and death, but also ennemies are going to be strong. Since Mercury rules Saturn and Jupiter rules Uranus, the ennemies would be defeated, at some cost.

Note that Saturn is inconjunct to Chiron and Neptune from I to VI, Virgo to Pisces/Aquarius. The Neptune-Chiron conjunction is just out-of-sign. Certainly this aspect could take its toll on Mr. Kaczynski's health. At the very least, such a Saturn-Chiron aspect is not good for luck. As for the Saturn-Neptune quincunx, it's called the "Poor House" aspect and it may be that financial support is either withdrawn or limited, despite the other good financial aspects for this campaign.

There's a symmetrical aspect between Vesta-Jupiter-Neptune-Saturn. There is a need for the stern and naked truth about what happened with the plane crash. Hopefully this peculiar aspect will bring it to the fore, despite the reluctance shown in the grand square between Vesta-Sedna-Lilith-Sappho in XII-IX-VI-III. With Mars ruling the VIIIth and the XIIth from dignified Leo, it may be possible to know provided the event is well explained and not exploited by the press in a bad manner (because of the Mercury-Mars square).

Mars is dignified in Leo, in the XIth. Friends will give a lot of energy to this campaign. Mars rules the VIIIth and is 2nd ruler of the IIIrd. It's also applying to a square to Mercury retrograde. Money matters, taxes will weigh heavily in the speeches. Some rather acid comments and words are likely to be uttered out of turn.

Moon in the IInd in Libra is applying as a first aspect to a sextile to Mars in the XIth, showing financial support from friends in this campaign. This Moon would best be used by using as much diplomacy in speeches as possible, instead of grand sweeping sharp statements . Moon is also separating from a quincunx the Sun, Libra to Taurus, II to IX, and would show how much Mr. Kaczynski has hesitated becoming a candidate. It may also show some reluctance from foreign leaders in acknowledging happily this new candidate. I do not know the religion standing of Mr. Kaczynski, but I would say it is in his interests to spare the Church(es) in his words.

Jupiter is very strong angular in the DSC in Pisces, but it's almost on its own with no major aspect to major planets. It has just passed a semi-square to the Sun and is applying to a semi-square to Mercury retrograde.

All in all, this astrology chart does not look very favorable for this endeavor and the other parameters need to be looked at carefully in order to attempt a balanced judgment on the question.


Here is the Heliocentric Astrology Chart for the Announcement by Mr. Kaczyński that he is running for the Polish Presidency

The heliocentric chart is a little more optimistic, on the surface. Earth and Mercury apply to a trine of Venus. Chiron and Neptune are conjunct, that is very good. Mars and Mercury are in mutual reception and will give good battles with words. More so since Mars is conjunct Vesta. The rest of the chart is rather more difficult, particularly with the applying Saturn Pluto square. It illustrates an underlying hunger for power and it could provoke a downfall.Astrology-Horoscope-Announcement-Jaroslaw-Kaczynski-running-for-Poland-Presidency-Heliocentric-Chart


Here are the Dual Geocentric Astrology Charts for the Announcement by Mr. Kaczyński that he is running for the Polish Presidency compared with his own birth chart horoscope. Mr. Kaczyński was born on 18 June 1949 at 02h00 (GMT+2) in Warsaw, Poland, 52°13'N-21°00'E.


Astrology-Horoscope-Announcement-Jaroslaw-Kaczynski-Candidate-Poland-Presidency-Compared-with-Birth-Chart-Geocentric-Dual-ChartThis is the comparison between the geocentric astrology chart of the moment when the press realeased the statement informing that Jaroslaw Kaczynski would run for the Presidency of Poland and his astrological birth chart.

Transiting Sun and Mercury in Taurus are conjunct his radical ASC. This is a perfect symbolism for a beautiful (Taurus) press (Mercury) release (Sun-Asc) too early (Mercury retrograde) concerning his public status (ASC). Transiting Sun is placed in his natal XIIth however, which shows a decision made at a time of sorrow and sadness.

This is reinforced by the presence of the cruel and violent fixed star Hamal. As Hamal also represents headstrong yet capable leaders, in the radical XIIth and rising in the transit chart, there is no better symbolism to illustrate the death of a president and the rising of another made in the same mould. In addition, Hamal with Sun and Mercury reveals many but fickle friends, so this ought to be a warning not to rely on anyone around. In fact, the compilation of precise descriptions of this star in this reknowned website should entice Mr. Kaczynski to be very wary and attentive to his environmentQuote: "...evil associates, loss and disgrace, violence, brutishness, cruelty and premeditated crime...".  Although one may discuss the validity of considering aspects other than the conjunction with fixed stars, here there's a semi-sextile from Hamal to the transiting MC, so it would be easy to say there's at least a very little link between the tragedy and the statement...

If there is someone who needs to know what happened in the airplane crash, it's him. Becoming Poland's President would give him access to the darkest hypotheses of the crash. It is to be hoped that even if all information is not made public on this Mr. Jaroslaw Kaczynski does get to the bottom of it.

Transiting MC, placed in his first house and which is also conjunct transiting Juno and Venus, is conjunct his radical Mars Mercury conjunction. This is rather adequate for the wording of the announcement, continuing the fight (Mars) of his brother (Mercury) with a heart (Venus) of passion (Juno). Transiting Mars is approaching his radical Pluto Fortuna conjunction in his Vth house. This is a quest for the Graal (Vth house of speculations) at any cost with unyielding will (Mars-Pluto). Unfortunately, this is not the best of conjunctions as it takes place in the XIIth of the announcement chart and may show sorrow to come if the election race is fought in this spirit.

Transiting North Node Rahu is conjunct his MC and its opposite end, the South Node is conjunct his radical Venus. These show a possible change of fate. They also illustrate the hesitations to pick up the gauntlet of the presidential race. Despite the statement that his family has supported his choice, the chart shows that there wre reluctance. They are also both in emphasis as fixed star Vega is sitting on the North end and Sirius on the South. Both stars portend success, not necessarily long-lasting, and with insincere friendships and dangerous passions. On a lower level, Sirius exposes to severe dog bites or danger from beasts.

Transiting Jupiter in the VIIth of the transiting chart is still conjunct his radical Moon in his radical XIIth. There are certainly powerful (Jupiter) associates (VIIth) pushing emotionally (Moon). Again, this takes place within the XIIth of the radical chart and although Jupiter is at ease there, the end result may not be so fortunate, because of all the other negative aspects in the chart. This may become a honorable rally rather than the definition of an election winner.


Transiting Neptune is still within orb of the opposition to his radical Saturn. Literally "dissolving" (Neptune) of "structure" (Saturn). Transiting Chiron is part of this attack on radical Saturn. Since Chiron also rules a person's charisma and public image, Neptune long-term affairs, and that lot is in opposition to radical Saturn (restrictions), one may wonder if the public image of Mr. Jaroslaw Kaczynski could be at risk. Since he would need to be popular to win elections, this aspects bears no good to him. On the other hand, he had no choice but to announce his running for the presidential seat on this date since it is the Polish Constitution that rules the calendar of elections.

There are a number of difficult aspects with Saturn and Uranus interactive in both charts. On the whole, the geocentric chart is appropriate to the announcement made, but it's not completely positive. A further look at the other charts below is necessary to confirm whether Mr. J. Kaczynski will find 100,000 signatures before the 6 May 2010 in order to be allowed to go forward with his bid for the Presidency. Starting an electoral campaign under such auspices is not very favorable.

Promise to a brother...

A rather interesting element is shown in the chart: it looks as if there was a formal promise from Mr. J. Kaczynski to his twin that if anything happened, he would continue in his place.  This is shown in the announcement astrology chart with Venus trine Jupiter, Sun quincunx Chiron and Mercury quincunx Neptune. It's as if he promised his brother he would replace him if something happened. This promise dates back a few months, either when Saturn trined Jupiter in early November 2009 or in the last week of March 2010. A Saturn-Jupiter good aspect would be a classical for honoring a promise. In addition to which, transiting retrograde Mercury  rules this Saturn in the transit chart (and is also conjunct the radical ASC), transiting Venus rules this Mercury, and both Mercury and Venus in both charts represent the brother and the family.

Here are the Dual Heliocentric Astrology Charts for the Announcement by Mr. Kaczyński that he is running for the Polish Presidency compared with his own birth chart horoscope.

The heliocentric charts do show a picture that is better than the geocentric ones but still not as good as one would wish to start on such a big project. Mercury trine Uranus is likely to deliver the 100,000 signatures, and this may come as a surprise to those who thought Mr. Kaczynski was not a serious contender. Transiting Jupiter is completing a powerful yod with Pluto and Neptune that should help deliver these signatures.  Astrology-Horoscope-Announcement-Jaroslaw-Kaczynski-Candidate-Poland-Presidency-Compared-with-Birth-Chart-Heliocentric-Dual-Chart
In addition, Jupiter also completes a mystic triangle with radical Neptune and Juno. The trine between Pluto and Ceres shows increase in power and support from the business world. These are very strong aspects which help overcome all the negative ones.

The Earth-Saturn sextile shows solid support for his campaign. The Pluto-Venus quincunx and the Neptune-Chiron conjunction to the sextile of Earth are relevant to the highly emotional atmosphere of this election, as well as a heightened idealism in this campaign.

In conclusion, although the charts are not the best for such a run for an election, the probability is high that Mr. J. Kaczynski will collect the signatures needed to compete in the race. The confirmation of this needs to be given by the 6 May 2010 chart below.
As the candidates to the Presidential Election have to submit 100,000 signatures before 6 May 2010, one needs to examine Mr. Kaczynski's stars on that day, to find out whether he is likely to obtain them.

The astrological charts below have been timed for 16h30m on 6 May 2010 at Warsaw. If those signatures are forthcoming, there will also be a need to compare the astrology charts of the candidates, those of the election dates with those of Poland.


Here are the comparison geocentric charts between the birth chart of Mr. Kaczynski and the final day of submission of the signatures.

Astrology-Horoscope-Twin-Brother-Jaroslaw-Kaczynski-Presidential-Candidate-Compared-With-6-May-2010-Signatures-Requirement-Geocentric-Dual-ChartsThe quincunx transiting Mercury to Chiron becomes exact on 4 May 2010. It may well show this is the time when all required 100,000 signatures are obtained and validated. The trine between transiting Chiron and Uranus is exact on 2 May 2010 also (and this one repeats on 7 July 2010). Nevertheless, it will be a difficult campaign and it would not be surprising if some people start contesting the number and validity of the signatures because of the transiting Chiron coming to the opposition of radical Saturn.

At the closing time for the submission of signatures, the transiting MC is placed in emphasis by conjuncting radical Juno, Venus and IC. Transiting Mercury, which will still be retrograde, is placed in the radical XIIth and this may give rise to wild speculations on the way the signatures were obtained. Radical Lilith becomes angular on the cusp of the Mars ruled transiting DSC, from the VIth, and shows that opponents are not finished finding issues with the way the signatures have been collected. Transiting North Node is placed between the IC of the day and the radical MC, opposing radical Venus. This may show a victory of sorts but could be in the name of honor only. This will need to be checked with the exact election date in June. At the very least, some family members who may offer support publicly are doing so to show a united family. Behind closed doors, however, there may be bitter conversations on this election.

Transiting ASC is widely conjunct radical Neptune. A certain amount of illusions, disappointments, seld-delusions or deception may be associated with this aspect.

The only tight aspect of the transiting Moon is semi-sextile radical Moon. Moon representing the people is here slightly favorable to the candidate. So the various negative feedbacks will be coming from those presently in power or occupying influencing positions, but not from the population.

Transiting Mars is conjunct radical Pluto and is exact on this day, in the radical Vth and end of transiting Xth. There is an unerelenting aspect, showing hunger for power and the will to fight to win at any cost. This aspect is repeated in reverse with transiting Pluto slowly coming to the quincunx of radical Mars. This will be exact in 2011. Care should be exercised with this, whether or not Mr. Kaczyinski is elected in the summer. Pluto Mars aspects are violent ones and do nothing to help a politician, either with rash unpopular actions, or simply with health or accident concerns. Especially as these malefic aspects occur during a longer-term Uranus transiting to the opposition of radical Saturn.

Here are the comparison heliocentric charts between the birth chart of Mr. Kaczynski and the final day of submission of the signatures

The heliocentric chart is quite strong for gaining the required signatures. Transiting Jupiter applies to the quincunx of radical Pluto (exact on 8 May 2010) and this is certainly an indication of expanding power and strength. Mars will have just completed a trine to itself on 5 May, a sign of victory. Transit Mercury is quincunx Uranus so the signatures are there. Again, there may be questions on whether all signatures are valid. Venus is nicely aspecting radical Earth. All this is taking place in the background of a transiting Pluto applying to radical Venus which completes in September 2011. Whatever the result of the election, the going should be good for Mr. Kaczynski next year in 2011.Astrology-Horoscope-Twin-Brother-Jaroslaw-Kaczynski-Presidential-Candidate-Compared-With-6-May-2010-Signatures-Requirement-Heliocentric-Dual-Charts

Earth squaring Pluto is exact on the day at 16h28m and this throws some negative feeling in the chart. Earth is important in heliocentric charts. Hopefully this is not strong enough to demolish all the other good aspects, but it's a tight one which cannot be avoided. So at the very least, there will be something quite unpleasant happening. Whether this will be public or not is difficult to say. Earth also represents, literally, the "world". Perhaps some "world" people won't be too happy?

From the above charts, the conclusion could well be that Mr. J. Kaczynski will obtain the support necessary to be an official candidate to the Presidency of Poland. Let's say that the chart might be accurate to about 70-75%, but there remains a number of unknowns which astrology may not be able to solve.
