Eclipse pushes Cafe Coffee Day owner to suicide


A search is under way for the founder and owner of popular Indian chain Cafe Coffee Day, who has gone missing in the southern city of Mangalore, police say. VG Siddhartha had been in his car on the outskirts of Mangalore when he asked his driver to stop his car at a spot close to the Netravati river. July 30  https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-49160816



V. G. Siddhartha went missing after a letter from him addressing to the board of directors and staff was made public in which he announces the company has not been able to create a profitable business model and he took the responsibility for it. The company was being investigated for tax evasion.

A simple astrological explanation can be found in the chart for the current solar eclipse drawn  for Mangalore.  Notice that the eclipse falls very significantly on the IC. It is conjunct the TNPs Kronos-Hades and opposite Saturn-Pluto on the MC.  Martha Wescott provides the following interpretation:

Kronos-Hades-Saturn-Pluto: Leaders are under pressure through debt; to hear of criminal  activities in the world of finance or big business; problems and decline through debt, reliance on credit and loss of integrity.

On its own this does not explain a possible suicide. This is where asteroids add details that can be startling. The asteroid Requiem [21li] is placed on the descendant opposite  the asteroids Ophelia [11ar] and Atropos [16ar].  Martha-Wescott provides the following definitions of the asteroids at her website [1].

ATROPOS: Endings, completion, conditions at the finish, what is needed to conclude.

OPHELIA: A point of over-reaction and counterproductive reactions (linked to mistrust of one’s value to others and concern about deception.)

REQUIEM: As well as a connection to the ceremonies of death (and the formalization of grief,) Requiem stands for a place of acceptance, a cessation of struggle.

Putting the pieces together we have a counterproductive over-reaction under financial  pressure leading to death.

Finally let us note that as the news comes in, transiting Moon [10cn] is conjunct the July 2 eclipse degree!
