Yo,
I thought it might be interesting to look at religion and astrology, particularly at the death of Jesus.
The chart is set for 3 Apr 33 AD (Biblical data: I will not go into detail here on why this is the date, do an internet search and you'll get a plethora of information), at 3 PM (Biblical data), at Jerusalem, Israel.
The first thing I noticed about this chart was that Lilith was conjunct the ascendant. I don't know much about Lilith, but it's mysterious nature would fit well with the crucifixion. Since it sits on the ascendant it also suggests this character about Jesus' himself -- mysterious. When Jesus asked his disciples who he was, Peter said "You are the Christ, son of the Living God", and Jesus told him not to tell anyone about it. And again Jesus' true self was revealed to Peter and John at the transfiguration on the mount.
The ascendant in Virgo 5: "A man becoming aware of nature spirits and normally unseen spiritual energies." is also revealing on Jesus. Added to this Lilith is in Virgo 4, "black and white children playing together". a message of equality.
The ruler of the ascendant is Mercury (the messenger) in 18th degree pisces: "IN A HUGE TENT A
FAMOUS REVIVALIST CONDUCTS HIS MEETING" a
Reinforcement of faith which can open up a new environment. A revision of ideas back to source.
Critical survey of life.
Mercury (Jesus) is in the house of others (7th), he gave him self as a ransom for many in traditional christian thought. Mercury is also square to Jupiter (the religious authories), not suprising considering the High Priests offered him to the Roman authorities to be crucified. Pluto is also squaring Mercury, and hence opposing Jupiter.
Saturn (The planet of death) is in the 11th house (he was killed by his own people) in the 17th degree of cancer: "a seed grows into knowledge and life"
Jesus came to act as a mould for ourselves to become one with the Christ-consciousness. He was a perfectly formed conciousness, who possessed spiritual knowledge which he wanted to share with all. The seed grows into life, even though Jesus dies, he will live again and gives hope of eternal life for others.
The eight house ruler is Jupiter (religion, religious authories), and within the eighth house lies the Sun (a king, ..."INRI: King of the Jews") and the north node of destiny. The south node of Karma is interestingly in 5th degree libra: "A
man teaching the true inner knowledge of the new world to his students", also the moon in the same house as the south node (2nd), is in 11th degree libra: "A professor peering over his glasses at his students." Jesus is the superior moral being (professor) who is looking to us; and we as students should follow his example.
The mysteries of his crucifixion are shown in the 12th house: we have uranus (Revolutions) here, in 18th Leo, again another sabian symbol about students: "A chemist conducts an experiment for his students."
The ruler of the 12th house is the sun, and opposite him we have the moon, thus this is also a chart of a lunar eclipse- signifant? I don't know really?
But yer, these is my insights into the chart of Jesus' death
Just wanted to show y'all what I thought =)
Too bad you can't do one of his birth. I believe he was born sometime in the Spring as well.
