Sirhan Sirhan, the Palestinian militant who shot Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 and was sentenced to death, later commuted to life in prison, may be cleared for parole after 53 years inside. Two of the Kennedy children appealed on his behalf but it still has to be signed off by the California Governor Gavin Newsom. He said he did it at the time because of Kennedy’s support for Israel.
He was born 19 March 1944 2am in Jerusalem and has a 3rd house Sun Mercury in Pisces – oddly enough Pisces is a sign that often crops up with ISIS zealots – Neptune’s cold-blooded idealism. His Sun is also in a hard-edged, can-be-cruel square to Mars Saturn in Gemini.
Robert Kennedy’s Mars in Scorpio was conjunct SS’s Midheaven and Kennedy’s Pluto conjunct SS’s Descendant so it would be a hostile and combative interface.
When the shooting took place at midnight on 5th June 1968 in Los Angeles, Sirhan’s Mars Saturn (in traditional astrology associated with assassination) had moved to conjunct his Descendant and Kennedy’s Pluto; and tr Saturn in Aries was conjunct Sirhan’s Solar Arc Sun; with his Solar Arc Uranus square his Mercury (Sun). There was a potent transiting Yod at that point of tr Neptune sextile Uranus Pluto inconjunct Saturn, so it was a key trigger for Sirhan with his Solar Arc Sun feeling the full force of it.
His relationship chart with Robert Kennedy had a stressed composite New Moon opposition Pluto square Uranus – a disruptive and rebellious chemistry; with the signature ‘assassination’ composite Mars Saturn conjunct as well.
The USA at that point having been rattled by JFK’s death five years before was even more unnerved with tr Pluto moving to square the USA Mars and then conjunct the USA Neptune. In 1963 when JFK was killed, tr Uranus Pluto in Virgo was square the USA Uranus and sitting on the Mars/Uranus midpoint. The 1960s was a longish phase of panicky upsets courtesy of Uranus Pluto in Virgo.
Another significant point – Sirhan’s Pluto North Node in Leo is conjunct the USA ‘leadership’ North Node – which was the point badly hit by 9/11, so is an extremely sensitive marker where the USA’s pride and reputation are concerned.
Sirhan looks on a downward slide ahead no matter what happens with tr Neptune square his Saturn this year and then his Mars/Saturn midpoint and on to conjunct his Sun before mid decade.
Sirhan Sirhan should stay in prison. He originally received the death penalty in 1969 but his sentence was later reduced to life imprisonment in 1972.
If Sirhan Sirhan had committed that crime here in Florida, he would’ve not only received the death penalty (via electrocution), he would’ve been executed YEARS AGO….and that would’ve been perfectly fine with me.
I like to think that if Bobby Kennedy had not had his life taken by that idiot, he would’ve gone on to win the 1968 Democratic primaries….and he would’ve defeated Richard Nixon in the general election that year….and the world would have been in a much better place during that era.
RFKs other children are against SS getting out. So am I.
No one asked me, but he should stay in there. I’m sure there are other prisoners who are more worthy of being given a chance on the outside.
SS going free doesn’t set a good example for those who may being thinking of doing committing similar acts on a wider public scale like in this case, or in their communities and homes.
“I don’t remember”. Classic avoidance, of taking responsibility.
In the past a convict has always had to plead guilty or accept guilt in order to obtain his or her parole. SS has always claimed that he doesn’t remember. It would change precedence if the parole board and the Governor of California were to accept that.
While 53 years is a long time to serve a sentence, the actual crime looked like a professional hit, and I feel that he needs to own it, irregardless of RKs sons determination that he must be forgiven. They are not the only factor here. SS needs to come clean and reveal those that were involved.
a friend of mine told me if someone dies at the hands if another then it’s a payback for past karma. or they had a past karma together. SS was weird. to kill RFK. poor kennedys is there a curse on them?! how sad. SS shouldve been executed. USA went downhill after 1965.
I doubt very much SS will be able to re-adjust to society, after spending over 50 years in prison.
It will be an utterly alien environment, plus the fact he is now in his mid-70s. He will become a total pariah.
His future looks incredibly bleak.
