I have checked
the DWADS for Nathan, meaning,
the sub-rulers of his
Sun sign, his Moon sign and his Mercury sign.
We already know his Sun is in Cancer, (a water sign) his Moon is in Leo (fire sign) and his Mercury in Gemini (an air sign)
His dwads however, the sub ruler of the sign itself, puts his Sun in a fire sub dwad, Sagittarius, his Moon in Fire Leo ; his Mercury in Aries (fire)
meaning
, a lot of fire energy here for Nathan to contend with.
For me, as an Astrologer, It augments my feelings as I've written about the potential of his finding trouble....(kind of a natural nose for it), when it comes looking for you, but you aren't conscious of your own role in it...or the events that come about brought your way.
Could this have been interest in a girl that another was already having designs on?....anything is possible, here.
I'm looking strictly at the vibrations that were part of Nathan's natal chart and the path of least resistance we take with them in life.
Finding the 3 Dwads in Fire signs does not however change my opinion that he was fooled (a ruse) to get him out of the house:
Here is the natal
with Arabic Lots....we do not have a "last seen time" to study however.
There is not a determined event to study for us on July 22nd 2009.
(note:
Dwads not shown on the chart).....
Arabic Lots: (ancient Astrologers used these)
Part of Captivity (the
term is relative, can be how we are held captive by our own mindset in life for instance), in this case, found at 19Capricorn, 1st House and opposed to the Sun in the 7th of Relationships he is committed to)
can be to our detriment as well if we are smitten by the wrong person!
The Anareta or killing planet as the name implies, it may shorten our life .
is found at 29 Degrees Cancer in the 7th house, in a critical or Anaretic degree, the last degree of a sign. It symbolizes a harsher climate for that planet or part as a vibration goes when it's at the beginning or the end of a sign.
In this case the Anareta conjuncts his Moon and Venus or his emotions as the Moon and Venus may imply. The social life, the relationships that intrigued him.
Mars is not only square Pluto but
on the cusp of the
8th house (probable early death)
Remember, we are not dealing with certitudes, but probabilities.
South Node conjunct "Regulus" Sextile (a harmony between them) the planet Jupiter which I've already mentioned is in "Detriment"......so in harmony with detriment is one way to look at this. The South Node is also thought to reflect a karmic lifetime.
Regulus usually brings a "Fall" in the life as a natal promise.
We put this then together : SN (the dragon's tail) conj. Regulus (a promised fall after a rapid rise in life) with lluck (Jupiter) that's not good as we'd like it to be or think of luck to be. His North Node (the soul's purpose ) commonly called the Dragon's Head - in Aquarius (liked his friends very much, was eclectic, perhaps not as discrimating as he should have been with them afterall)....Trines Jupiter (in harmony with Jupiter)
the Black Moon Lilith squares the Sun.
Pluto 10th at 12 Scorpio square Mars (exact orb) (we've talked about this in the beginning posts)
Part of Deceit conjuncts Saturn conjunct FACIES at 8Capricorn.
Saturn is Rx (being repeated) and doesn't bode well here for not being deceived in life.
Uranus opposes Mercury from the 12th. Part of Tragedy (murder) opposes Uranus within 2 degrees.
Uranus is the unexpected event. Not to be forseen.
Quick and swift when it comes, just like the fall from Regulus vibrations.
There was a "T"Square between the Part of Captivity, with Black Moon Lilith and the Sun
Our Natal Charts are our vibrations we are born to. The next life, after we learn from this one the necesseary lessons integrated will be much better because we don't have to repeat the same lessons, as long as we've learned them.
At least this is how I see it to be.
I hope your Faith, helps the family to see through to the spirit of Nathan's life. His little girls are part of him who live on as an inspiration and memory of him.
You mentioned that he was just getting his life back together readying to go back to work , etc.
This is often how it goes for many.
Just as they are getting it back together they are gone.
We hear of this all the time. Life seens to be tragic for those who remain and miss their loved ones so acutely. But we need to lean on our faith that all is for a purpose in the end.
If I have read Nathan's chart correctly, then you see that God gives us these vibrations as a helpmate to help us and not to punish us.
But I'm still very sorry for your great loss. There are no right words to convey.
