I don’t have the time to check back here and answer questions. This topic interested me when I was approving messages. Unfortunately, there are many events that can be plainly seen after the fact in regards to astrology. As with death experiences, near death experiences and such, the signs in the transits and more importantly, the solar and lunar returns are all individual. Predicting someone falling in love for example is very simple astrologically- say, progressed Sun conjoins birth chart Venus, and many more aspects, but death and other events are more difficult, as in many cases, these are individually specific.
Looking at James Dean’s birth chart, one can see he was a very high-strung hair-trigger personality. Aries on the ascendant and Uranus at the apex of an action oriented cardinal t-square in near exact conjunction with his ascendant. Jupiter added to the recklessness in being in a very tight square to Uranus. This configuration makes a person erratic, unpredictable, unstable, moody, and impulsive. Mars squaring his Moon added to emotional outbursts and a hot temper.
His 1955 solar and lunar returns are for what I could find of his place of residence in California that year. Both, especially the solar returns are location sensitive. I have noted in nearly all of my research involving death cases, the midheaven and IC axis’ flip in the death returns. In his September 1955 lunar return, there are many indications: 28 degrees of Sagittarius on the cusp of his 4th house [a house of endings and works with the 8th in foretelling death], this contained the degree of his birth chart midheaven at 6 of Capricorn. As I already mentioned- the midheaven/IC axis flips. 6 degrees of Cancer was on the cusp of his IC [4th house of endings] in his birth chart. This was activated in his 1955 solar return. 6 degrees of Sagittarius was on his solar return ascendant, creating an inconjunct [often seen in death charts, but a common overall aspect], to his birth chart IC at 6 of Cancer, indicating an ending. His solar return Moon tied into this at 6 degrees of Virgo. Whenever you have two or more exact degrees lining up, a significant event will occur. The 6 degrees of his solar return ascendant and solar return Moon tied into his 6 degrees on the 4th of endings. His SR Mars was in the 4th house of his SR for that year. This is very significant because Mars is his birth chart ruler.
His 1955 solar return also has solar return ascendant ruler Jupiter in tight conjunction with solar return Uranus in the SR 8th house of death. This tight conjunction amplified his tendencies at risk taking, moodiness, and reckless behavior for that year. Uranus made the death quick and unexpected. SR Uranus ruled the SR 3rd house which rules over short distance travel as in driving. SR Saturn within 15 seconds of exact conjunction of fixed star Unukalhai [ a malefic and degree of loss] is in his 12th house of endings. This lines up near exact with SR Jupiter at 21 of Cancer, a malefic trine, easing the way for disaster.
His SR 4th house cusp was at 22 degrees of Pisces. In his September 1955 lunar return, near the time of his death, the LR Mercury was at 22 of Libra, as his LR had 28 of Virgo on the ascendant. Late degrees on the ascendant indicate endings of some sort. 28 degrees lined up on both of his LR ascendant and IC axis’. In his SR, Neptune, which ruled his 12th house, the other house of endings was at 28 degrees of Libra. The lunar nodes of fate are always extremely important and manifest blatantly in years where there is a significant life-altering event. His nodes were at 16 of Aries and Libra in his birth chart. His SR 3rd and 12th house cusps are at 16 degrees, tying in. LR Saturn is at 17 degrees of Scorpio [sign of death], making an exact inconjunct to his SR Mars at 17 of Aries, placed in his SR fourth house of endings. His LR Mars is placed in his LR twelfth of sorrow and endings.
I could go on and on regarding this, but the important things to look for in death charts are the MC/IC axis of the birth chart flipping in the SR chart. The 4th, 8th and 12th houses of endings manifest blatantly, as in many cases do the lunar nodes. Late degrees, over 25 of any sign are also prevalent in many cases. As for transits, on the date of his death, the Sun was at 6 of Libra, activating his MC/IC axis in his birth chart, his SR asc/dec axis, SR Moon, which tied into his birth chart IC/4th house of endings. Transiting Moon was in Pisces that day in his 12th of endings,
Mercury, which rules driving and all short distance travel was at 28 of Libra that day, activating the 4 cardinal points of is lunar return chart of which all were at 28 degrees. Transiting Mars [which Mars is his birth chart ruler] went into 21 of Virgo that day, activating the SR chart ruler Jupiter at 21 of Cancer in the SR 8th of death. Transiting Jupiter was opposing his birth chart Sun at that time in his life, adding to overconfidence and risk-taking. Transiting Saturn tied in that day at 18 degrees of Scorpio, squaring his Sun and making a sextile to his birth chart Saturn, and trining his birth chart 4th house Pluto. Transiting Uranus was applying to an exact conjunction with his ruling Mars that day. Uranus/Mars contacts are very common with accidents and can influence [especially those with tendencies] to reckless behavior. I have noted with transits, oftentimes, an event will occur when the slower moving planet is applying to an exact aspect, within 1-2 degrees of being exact to the natal planet.
Transiting Pluto at 27 of Leo made an inconjunct to his birth chart Mercury, which rules his third house of short distance travel and driving. Pluto is permanent and also rules over death, as it is the ruler of Scorpio and the natural ruler of the 8th house. Neptune at 27 of Libra also tied in.
