Scorpio - Sri Sathya Sai Baba
Easter. Today, that day of Resurrection, is the day the Great Master, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, chose to leave his earthly body. What a message. We are born again.
Here is the chart of his birth. What is most unique is that he never left India to bring his message to the world. At 84, he was revered by millions worldwide, with ashrams in over 126 countries. Devotees included high-placed politicians, movie stars, world-class athletes and industrialists. Over my lifetime, I have had friends who were with him when he performed some of his miracles. I am a believer, and am sad at his passing, blessed that he lived, for my friends’ miracles were real to me and changed me too.
- Sai Baba – Scorpio Sun & Ascendant, Moon Cancer
Saturn was next to his Sun in Scorpio when he was born, made him like a Capricorn as well as a Scorpio. One of Saturn/Capricorn, abilities is apporting – the ability to materialize things out of thin air. My friends saw him make roses appear in his hands, and the sacred ritual ash, Vibuthi, for their foreheads. With Saturn at Baba’s Ascendant and Sun, he was a hard worker, and likely life was not always easy. He never married or had children. They say we teach what we need to learn. Baba’s Venus and Mercury were in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Aquarius, a love of spiritual teaching and people of all places. His Mars was in Taurus, an enduring warrior devoted to his purpose, a founder. His Moon in Cancer gave him a love of home, so he built an ashram, a spiritual home for people to come live and learn with him. Crowning his chart is Neptune in Leo, at 26 degrees in a positive exact trine with wth Galactic Center, 26 Sagittarius! Spirituality fit for a king, major fame, though most Scorpios like to operate from behind the scenes. Another thing that brought this man forward was that four of his planets, Saturn, Sun, Venus and Mercury were all in his first house, the Aries house, making him sacrifice his privacy for leadership! Or you could say he led from behind since his medium was meditation and spirituality, both invisible!
Baba’s Death Chart, Easter April 24, 2011, Puttaparthy, India at 7.40 AM
It is thought by many that the sign you die in is the one you reincarnate in! So here he went with Sun and Ascendant in Taurus, the opposite sign of his Sun and Ascendant he had this life, Scorpio! Pluto and Moon are in Capricorn, the opposite sign they were in this life, Cancer! In both instances, he has gone the maximum distance, reach, across the zodiac! He leaves us during a 5 planet Aries Stellium (cluster of 3 or more planets in the same sign), a champion even in death. The Ascendant of his death chart is 29 degrees Taurus, a classic degree in horary astrology of something to weep about, the degree of the 7 Sisters, the Pleiades. Indeed.
Death Chart around Birth Chart
Difficult Aspects
Pluto in Capricorn at his natal South Node – controversy over past leadership/authority/integrity
Neptune/Chiron Pisces square natal Venus/Mercury Sagittarius – unsurety over management of the Satya Sai Central Trust, estimated to be worth over $8.9 billion, or much more, and issues of fake miracles. No successor has been named to run the trust. Venus and Mercury are money and naming. Neptune and Chiron are spiritual business, the unknowable, miracles.
Saturn in Libra and Mercury/Mars/Jupiter in Aries forming a T square natal North Node, Moon, Pluto in Cancer – controversy over sexual abuse of devotees, fake miracles, the June 1993 killings in his bedroom. Oops. Saturn can be rather merciless, wants an accounting. Mercury/Mars/Jupiter search for the truth. Moon is bedrooms/at home, Pluto is vast sums of $, death, mysteries.
Positive Aspects
Neptune/Chiron Pisces sextile natal Mars in Taurus – hopefully things will be worked out with the Trust leadership and the good works will continue
Uranus/Venus in Aries trine natal Venus/Mercury in Sagittarius – world love and leadership will network to carry on teaching the message, helping to focus for the June 5, 2012 Venus Transit and Mayan Crossroads/Sacred Tree Dec 21, 2012
Jupiter in Aries sextile natal Jupiter in Aquarius – Jupiter rules fame, orthodox religion, state ceremonies, funeral rituals, truth, teaching, expansion. Perhaps much more will come to light about Baba’s life in the next few years. However that may shake out, he brought millions of people planet wide to spiritual insights and practice. Millions of people in conscious practice are needed to keep the balance in a frightened world. They will carry the power of the tipping point to a better life.
Steady in the Light and your Practice. In Love, Cerena
