A former BBC journalist found hanged in a toilet
cubicle at a Turkish airport had spoken about suffering from post-traumatic
stress after being arrested for being an alleged spy in Africa.
Jacky Sutton was found dead at Istanbul's Ataturk
Airport after missing a connecting flight to Erbil in Iraq from London
Heathrow. She then appeared distressed after being told by airline staff that
she would have to buy a new ticket and was later found in the toilets by three
Russian passengers, according to local media. The 50-year-old held various
positions over the years with humanitarian organisations and the United Nations
as well as working as a producer for the BBC, often in war-torn countries. She
had also spoken in June of her fears that she may be targeted by the Islamic
State while working in the Iraqi city of Erbil, reportedly as acting Iraq
director for the Institute for War and
Peace Reporting. Her death cames just five months after her predecessor at
the organisation was killed in a car bomb attack in Baghdad. Paying tribute to Ms Sutton, friend Amanda
Whitely, posted a blog today on the website Her Canberra which included an
autobiographical account of the former United Nations worker's life. Oct.19
Exactly a
week back, the Sun and Uranus formed an exact opposition which loosely aligned
with the horizon axis at Istanbul. On Oct. 19, the date of the news, the
alignment with the progressed horizon became
exact. So how does this configuration
explain the news?
On the
Ascendant are the stars of the Crow, the Virgin and Bootes. Bootes was an armed
herdsman, sometimes depicted with a spear rather than a shepherd’s crook, and
in China Lambda Bootis [7li] was part of Tchao-Yao,
“The Brandishing of Arms”. The Crow is a talking bird, and many journalists,
newsmen and media people are born under these stars. Here the stars of the Virgin which longs for
peace are in conflict with the stars of
Bootes which draw many towards war. Reportedly
she was acting Iraq director for the Institute for War and Peace Reporting.
And as we
have seen before the Uranus-Pluto square represents the actions of courageous
individuals working on behalf of the
people's liberties (Uranus in Aries) against institutional structures facing
threats to their authority (Pluto in Capricorn). Finally,
Saturn [2sa]which forms hard
aspects to the Sun-Uranus opposition is conjunct the asteroid Orpheus that is
linked to death so that we have all elements which point to the tragic death of
a journalist or media person.
