I don’t know. What does Berlusconi have in common with Queen Elizabeth II, Pope John Paul and President Reagan? Well they were all attacked during Saturn’s sojourn through the first decan of Libra. Elizabeth, Pope JP, and Reagan were all shot at between March and June 1981!! Reagan’s attacker was declared insane, JP’s attacker might have been working for the KGB, and the Queen’s attacker, a 17 year old boy, had been inspired by the attacks on the Pope and Reagan. In fact – just a few months ago when starting to research Saturn in Libra, I did ask myself, who is going to come under attack this time? Well our first victim has fallen: the Italian Prime Minister, Berlusconi. So, the next question is: what does this all have to do with Saturn in that most peace loving sign, Libra?
Libra is a cardinal sign and well equipped to fight for what it believes to be right. It is a mistake to think of Librans as weak. Once a course of action is decided upon – there are few signs more resolute that Libra. Saturn is exalted in Libra – which is good of course – however it is slightly over the top as well. A planet exalted always has an exaggerated quality about it. Saturn on the other hand, is a great leveller – and if there is one thing in life which is inescapable and which wipes out all differences – then it must be death. Saturn rules cold dark places and one imagines a potential killer, lurking about in some alleyway, furtive, hiding his intentions. But not the political assassin. The political assassin wants attention – wants to be exalted – wants to be center stage. He wants to be seen and prefers to act where a large crowd of people are gathered. The person being attacked – needs to be a famous celebrity of some kind. Assassins don’t flee the crime scene – they want to be caught.
Keeping this point in mind, this is a quote from an article written by Angus E. Crane about the personality profile of assassins.
“Douglas finds similarities between political assassins and celebritystalkers. He noted that both the celebrity stalker and political assassin target a person that assumes larger-than-life proportions.”
“Larger-than-life” proportions – in astrological terminology we would call that a planet “exalted”.
To be honest, I think we are dealing with a bit of a mystery here. Of course political assassins don’t sit around waiting for Saturn to enter Libra to commit their act. However, it is curious that once again with Saturn placed in Libra – a high profile politician has been lashed out at. The horoscope for the Berlusconi attack: Dec. 13, 2009, 18.34 Milan, Italy.
