Francesco Schettino, the captain of the ill-fated cruise ship Costa Concordia which ran aground in 2012 with the loss of 32 lives as he was showing off to a dancer on board and sailing too close to shore, has finally run out of appeals. He will now start a 16 year jail sentence.
Born 14 Nov 1960 3.55pm Naples, Italy, he has a 7th house Scorpio Sun, Neptune and Mercury; with a tumultuous-love life from a 5th house Uranus and Pluto in a confident and frivolous trine to Jupiter Venus. So not one to stint himself when it came to fun. He’s also got a more difficult Saturn in Capricorn opposition Mars in Cancer. During the aftermath through various trials his Solar Arc Sun has been moving conjunct his Saturn and opposition his Mars; with tr Pluto doing the same and reaching the opposition to his Mars when he starts his long prison sentence.
His 16th Harmonic is particularly strong which is connected to ‘catastrophes, humiliations, dangers, accidents, disasters. Life as you know it might change completely. Sometimes this is self-inflicted.’ As is his 18H – at risk from natural elements. And his 20H – ‘A major upheaval that leads to an awakening which changes the plans for one’s life. Considered good for spiritual development.’ 16 years in an Italian jail will certainly be a different future. He’ll be 73 when he gets out if he serves the full term.
The newspapers pegged him as the “Chicken of the Sea”.
