The death of John McCain





Senator John McCain has died at the age of 81, according to the New York Times. The Republican congressman and two-time presidential candidate passed at 4:28 p.m. at his Arizona home on Saturday.





The horoscope of John McCain as provided by Astrodienst [1] is  reproduced here.  A cardinal rule in astrology is that planets on the angles are of extreme importance. The Sun [6vi] is on the descendant and conjunct the star Thuban. Alpha (α) Draco, Thuban, is a pale yellow star in the Dragon. Draco, the Dragon is  powerful and domineering creature. About Thuban, Nick Fiorena writes:

Thuban, in the far northern heavens, was Earth’s pole star circa 2600 BC near the "tear of the Bear," a point in Earth’s ~25,920-year "evolutionary cycle of the soul" at which a turning and fractioning occurred in the hierarchical powers governing Earth. This dramatized the separation between those choosing to fight for a greater evolutionary vision and those wanting to maintain totalitarian control of the Earth with their antics to do so. https://www.lunarplanner.com/LunarMonths2008/lunarmonth.08.08.30.html





This in itself would be sufficient to describe John McCain. But let us also add to this description, the star Ras Algethi  which is conjunct Jupiter on the MC. About the influence of stars here, Diana Rosenberg writes:

Once they latch on to an idea or belief, they tend to be entirely partisan; no half-way measures will do; a tendency to fanaticism may lead them into bigotry, cults, stalking and terrorism.  Because their beliefs are of primary importance in their lives, many become leaders and proselytizers, embarking on “crusades” determined to reform their fields according to their learning and convictions. So involved do they become in their own work and certainties that they become irritable , impatient, prejudiced and utterly selfish, and may go the extreme of overbearing  attacks and arbitrary use of power, committing or suffering unprovoked aggression.

Also alpha (α) Hercules, Ras Algethi, is a star in the head of Hercules which Diana Rosenberg links to brain problems. In mythology, Hercules, the son of Zeus is a brawny character not known so much for his brains! Notice that Jupiter which conjoins Ras Algethi is square a Saturn-Neptune opposition generally associated with chronic diseases (often cancer).

The obvious next question is “what happened to trigger this Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune T-square?”  Well there are at least two triggers. McCain is going through his Neptune half-cycle i.e. Neptune transit opposite radix Neptune. And secondly, the converse progressed Sun [18ge] square the Saturn-Neptune opposition and currently conjunct their exact midpoint. Together, the two are sufficient to create a serious health problem….and how strange that the part of the body affected is Hercules’ brain!





Finally let us recall that we are still in an eclipse season and eclipses often coincide with the death of leaders. The July 11th solar eclipse fell on the horizon axis at Phoenix, Arizona where McCain died. The eclipse was conjunct the asteroid Lacrimosa (death) opposite Pluto- Askalaphus  (radical  illness). Moreover, the eclipse- Pluto axis made hard aspects to McCain’s radix Sun [6vi]. He died on Aug. 25 ( just before his 82nd birthday)  at 4:28 pm when Pluto was just rising and the eclipse axis coincided with the local horizon confirming the role of the eclipse in his departure.






PS:






 The US Sibly solar return relocated to Phoenix, Arizona and progressed to Aug. 25 is shown here. The horizon aligns with the Sun-Pluto axis. In addition Sun is conjunct the TNP Kronos (leader) and asteroid Lacrimosa (death) and square the TNP Zeus. Also Pluto is square asteroid  Aesculapia (ill health) and the combination can rule degenerative diseases like cancer.

Kronos-Lacrimosa: the death of a leader or prominent person.
Kronos-Zeus: leaders who are connected with the military.
