Shatner & Nimoy – end of a beautiful friendship

Actor William Shatner has written about his fifty year friendship with Leonard Nimoy, which started on Star Trek and extended on through their divergent careers and tumultuous personal lives. But mysteriously ended a few years before Nimoy’s recent death.

What is fascinating is that they were born within four days of each other. Shatner, 22 March 1931 4am Montreal, Canada; and Nimoy, 26 March 1931 8.30pm Boston, Massachusetts. So they both had the powerfully confident Jupiter Pluto in Cancer opposition Saturn square Uranus – tough, enduring, innovative, rebels in their way. Shatner has a Cancer Moon and Nimoy had a Taurus Moon.

Nimoy was the more cerebral of the pair with Moon, Jupiter, Pluto Mars in the 9th; but they were very similar.  Although neither was an easy personality. Tr Uranus has just moved into Uranus when they drifted apart and about to conjunct their composite Sun, which tr Pluto had been hammering at in the previous two years.

Just a pity that Nimoy didn’t live long enough to allow them to come back together again after a sticky patch.
