The Sun Mars square Pluto which has been building up a head of steam since mid October claimed its first headline on the 15th with the slaughter of Tory MP Sir David Amess in his Essex surgery by Ali Harbi Ali, who is the son of a former Somali political aide and was evidently affiliated to Islamic State organisations. He was also possibly motivated by anger at David Amess’s political connections to Qatar seeking investment for the UK. Qatar has been criticised for interfering in Somali politics, supporting the present President and for pushing the country towards civil war.
Sir David, 26 March 1952 had his Sun, Moon, Mercury and Jupiter in Aries. His Jupiter Mercury opposed Saturn Neptune in Libra and was trine Pluto; with his Pluto square Mars in ultra-determined Scorpio. He wasn’t short of initiative and would have been constantly on the go. He also had a Water Grand Trine of Venus in Pisces trine Mars trine Uranus, which was healing but not always realistic. His views were very right wing which may in part be a result of his less than sentimental Mars square Pluto.
Ali Harbi Ali, 1 February 1996 (CPS charge sheet), now in prison awaiting trial, is a Sun Aquarius with a Cancer Moon. His two points of contact with David Amess’s chart are his Mars in Aquarius which opposed Amess’ Pluto and squared his Mars in Scorpio – so an inflammatory interface. And Ali’s Libra North Node was conjunction Amess’s Neptune and opposition his Mercury Jupiter. There is often a Nodal connection between victim and perpetrator.
Their relationship chart has a composite Mars Saturn conjunction, associated in traditional astrology with assassination, and also aggravation – with the composite North Node conjunct as well.
Thank you Marjorie. Another deeply shocking eruption of violence, and apparently one that had been thought about by the perpetrator for quite some time. Mars in Libra was crossing that nodal connection between Ali and Sir David on the day of the murder. I also noticed that the transiting South Node in Sagittarius was conjunct Ali’s natal Pluto. This Pluto/Nodes alignment is squaring Sir David’s natal Moon’s Nodes in Pisces/Virgo.
The general themes of Pluto with the Nodes, according to Michael Munkasey, include “…your need to seek vengeance”, “increased obsession for using others for your own purposes”, and “planning retaliation for past activities”. Also, “Your compulsion to seek others out, the obsessions you have with meeting the right people..”
Although I personally wrestle with the notions of karma and destiny, there seems to be a pattern here that suggests it has a part to play. Or maybe it’s the symbolism of the lock and key, with that key finding the lock it fits somehow, somewhere? Clearly, that would mean numerous potential connections, not all of which would manifest in the same tragic manner, or possibly not at all except in a person’s inner world or their night-time dreams and nightmares? But there it is, cropping up over and over again.
Hello
Another good analysis. However i looked at this terrible event and i have a diferent birth time Am. for Sir David. The Am time fits in with his lunar return for october.
