OSAMA BIN LADEN
The Astrological Perspective of Terrorism

With so many birthdates around for the reclusive leader of terrorism in the world, I decided to go with the one that made the most sense for the personality. Consider the Leo, a natural born leader who loves to have many women offering attention and affection to him. Then, observe a close conjunction to Uranus and you revolutionize the man, who rebels against nature and God in thinking to destroy our way of life. But think of what he has going on in that mind of his. He’s got to be an 8th house personality to be concerned with genocide and destruction or extinction of a people. An obsessed person would have a strong conjunction to Pluto, especially if they thought it was their God-given duty to transform the world into their own image, which is so like a Leo, as well. Why would he have to find fault with Americans, Jews and even Christians? Because with all the Virgo in his chart, he can’t help but criticize the views of other religions. The Moon/Jupiter conjunction has been seen in the charts of many political leaders, good and bad, like GW Bush, Hitler, Al Gore, and numerous others who come from wealth and good breeding. It shows a need to expand the protective instinct to all the citizens of the nation. Mercury conjoining Venus would like to know that other people shared his views and if they didn’t, they would be cut off, in one way or another. This is clearly a function of the square from Saturn to Venus, especially. He never had closeness growing up and no love from his father, who always seemed unavailable, as indicated by the placement of Saturn in the 12th, which also accounts for Osama’s reclusiveness and hidden agendas. It may account for his mistrust of authorities and powerful figures. That, too, is reflected by Pluto’s appearance in the 8th house. The conjunction to Mars identifies his deep-rooted rage and passion which is thwarted by an ailment that affects his kidneys and makes for a small penis. His romantic and sexual frustrations are karmic and the South Node in the 5th reveals his egotistical desire for physical pleasure. That he would marry to get it (Juno in Taurus) and that his first wife would be young is Juno‘s 5th house placement, too. His Chiron is square to the Nodes, so his destiny is one of a tremendously wounded soul out of touch with the collective need for stability and personal evolution. He sees life from a limited perspective because of his fundamentalist background. Trained by the CIA for security purposes in the 80’s, the 8th house is all the secrets and lies he’s been a part of. It’s also where he gets his funding. He’s not only using his family’s money…there are big money people involved in the raising of cash to sustain this paltry war effort. The S. Node in Taurus shows he’s used to having money and passion but now, he’s turned his explosive N. Node into the killing machine that Scorpio can be. As I allow a wide orb for the Sun (10 degrees), I see a square from it to Neptune, which creates a delusional and escapist addict, either drugs or alcohol. He has no real career path, or it’s a shady, elusive trail of deception. He’s made a profession out of avoiding people and may become known for poisoning or gassing them. The Pluto Mercury connection may also have to do with Anthrax, as it is pretty deadly when inhaled into the Mercury-ruled lungs. The time of birth used correspond to Mars’ position on the day of the attack on the WTC and Pentagon.
