I waited a few days for the dust to settle a bit over the tragic Germanwings Flight 9525 crashed March 24 at 10:41 am CET. killing all 150 people on board over the French Alps. I have sent blessings to the multinational passengers and their families.
The media is claiming that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz had psychiatric ad emotional issues and crashed the plane on purpose as a suicide mission. Captain Patrick Sondenheimer was locked out of the cockpit after going to the bathroom and the black box recording reveals he tried to smash the door open with an axe. German flights don’t require two pilots in the cockpit at all times.
In another strange twist to this crash there may be a co-incidence between the crash and an Argentinian black comedy co-produced by Pedro Almodóvar’s “Wild Tales” which was nominated for the Foreign Language Oscar at this year’s Academy Awards. In it a pilot crashes a plane on purpose.
It would take a “pathological degree of anger” or depression to deliberately crash a plane with 150 people aboard, says a Hamilton psychiatrist.
An ex-girlfriend of Lubitz, identified only as Mary W, said he had told her last year: “One day I will do something that will change the whole system, and then all will know my name and remember it.” In hindsight it was clearly this horrific event that he will be remembered for.
Let’s look at Andreas astrology chart to investigate who he was and if he had that pathological degree of anger residing within him from birth. Mental illness would show up in his natal chart. Companies really should have astrologers check over their employees thoroughly before hiring and keeping tabs on them through knowing their stressful astrology transits. The planets don’t lie- you can quote me on that.
There are two birthdates published for him. One is December 18, 1987, the other December 28 1987, both with no exact birth time, noon is used along with the time of the crash. I will use the December 18 chart.
Andreas had a “stellium” pf four planets grouped together, the SUN, MERCURY, SATURN and URANUS in the sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is prominent in the sign of pilots, risk takers and travel. He may have appeared as an easy-going Sagittarian type who laughed easily and liked sports. Saturn Uranus Mercury and the Sun together in Fire sign of Sagittarius reveal a strong individual, who goes against the status quo, a person who never felt he fit in. Lubitz marched to his own drummer. His mind was always overheated, he talked a lot, he had high energy. These planets together symbolize unexpected actions, chaos, shock, explosions, freedom, liberation, quick changes, impulsiveness, mental chatter, radical actions. If this is taken as an accurate birth time it fits well as the Sagittarius planets are in the high noon position of worldly fame. He also had Jupiter, planetary ruler of Sagittarius in Aries another fire sign. Jupiter in Aries is literally a “high-flying” energy, reckless, immature, spontaneous, trusting, and naive. Jupiter is conjunct to recently discovered dwarf planet ERIS. Eris is known as the shit-disturbing planet, she is the energy of revenge, the trouble making planet.
Lubitz had a very difficult PLUTO, MARS, MOON conjunction in SCORPIO- his natal Moon is opposite the demon star ALGOL- see below. His Moon is also conjunct to another dangerous Fixed Star Alpha Serpentis at 22 degrees Scorpio known for suicide, accidents, a fall after success and forgeries.
This aspect alone would be a huge RED FLAG for any employer. Mars rules Scorpio and the planet is at its most powerful here. Mars in Scorpio symbolizes anger, revenge, a sado-masochistic personality, power-hungry, repressed emotions, secrets and control issues. Pluto brings in deeper, darker, psychological territory. The Moon Pluto conjunction brings in suicidal tendencies. Pluto rules death and destruction, moodiness, depression, brooding, obsessiveness from never letting go of an issue. His psyche was a place of terror, which could stem from past life issues along with present life re-occurences of his patterns with this placement.
Lubitz was apparently going blind from a deteriorating eyesight condition which would have ended his childhood dream of being a pilot. A variety of sources — official and unofficial — state that Lubitz suffered from depression, had had some kind of “burn-out,” and was being treated for an unspecified illness that should have prevented him from flying on that fateful day. He had torn up sick-notes in his apartment. There was no suicide note found. The taking anti-depressants also makes one suicidal. The black box recording reveal that Lubitz sat calmly after locking the Captain out of the cockpit and setting the plane onto its collision course.
His Venus was in earthy Capricorn. He was a responsible orderly conservative person. He could work hard and seemed practical. Close to his family, especially his mother as CERES the Mother planet is conjunct to Venus. This points to mothering issues. Perhaps an overly strict mother, or smothering one.
CHIRON the wounded healer is involved in a Mutable Grand cross as it is squaring his North and South Nodes at 28 degrees Pisces/Virgo respectively and opposite to the stellium in Sagittarius which are also conjunct to the Galactic Center the black hole at the centre of our Galaxy. This split wound was something he could never get away from. It plagued him. This is another of the main indicators of mental illness in his natal chart. Lubitz was a deeply wounded man. CHIRON at 26 degrees Gemini is conjunct to the North Star. His wound is what the world will know him for. Chiron is the focal point of a “finger of God” or yod aspect between his Moon in Scorpio and Venus and Ceres in Capricorn. This points literally to a person with a “splinter in his mind” a detached split personality. He had that Jekyll and Hyde thing going for him big time especially in his relationships with women.
Lubitz had LILITH and Vesta the Goddess of focus, in LEO natally squaring that difficult Pluto Mars conjunction in Scorpio.This is interesting, describing a man’s inner LILITH. The rejected Feminine archetype works in either sex. Lubitz’s psyche identified with the rejected, scorned feminine, the dark feminine, the death-bringing Goddess. Lilith refuses to be in relationship to anyone who does not respect her needs, the soul’s needs first. This does not mean she is evil or bad as she has been portrayed. For a man it means his inner feminine is very strong, proud, courageous, daring, independent, needing to be in control. If Lubitz as a child was taught to behave, to comply,was spanked, beaten or punished and was forced to be in servitude to the father,or other controlling image, then this Lilith of his would stay obsessively plotting revenge. This is a very deep psychological wound. Not what it appears to be at all on the surface. Natal Lilith is also inconjunct { 150 degree aspect } to Lubitz Neptune in Capricorn, indicating that the outlet of his revenge would be through his career.
Lubitz was mean to aspire to embody his North Node at 28 degrees of Pisces, which symbolizes forgiveness, compassion, being a charitable spiritual person. The negative side of Pisces, is mental illness, self- sabotage, delusions, illusions, fantasies, paranoia, addictions. Pisces at the 2nd last degree in the Zodiac symbolizes that Lubitz was almost completed an entire karmic cycle. BUT… Lubitz North Node was also conjunct to a bitch of an unfortunate Fixed Star called SHEAT at 29 degrees Pisces considered traditionally to be a true-black malefic. People with planets or important points at this degree are prone to murder, suicide and extreme misfortune through hubris and pride.
Lubitz South Node at 28 degrees VIRGO indicates a perfectionist, hypochondriac, a workaholic, an uptight, very self-critical person. This energy can express as very uptight, OCD, appears humble.
TRANSITS AT THE TIME
The TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE on March 20 was at 29 degrees of PISCES within a degree of his North Node which is connected to a very powerful and unfortunate Fixed Star SHEAT as described above was already involved in Lubitz’ karmic choices. I believe the eclipse pushed him emotionally and unconsciously over the edge. His suicide mission followed his denial of his higher spiritual goal/as a delusion of “One day I will do something that will change the whole system, and then all will know my name and remember it.” unfortunately.
His Jupiter in Aries was directly in the line of Fire of the Cardinal Cross energy, of Uranus and Pluto in Capriorn, their last and seventh square was March 16. His Jupiter ruled all of his Sagittarius planets and his North Node. The unexpected chaotic, freedom loving, thrill seeking, revolutionary energy of Uranus in Aries explodes through his Sun- his identity, Mercury- his mind, Saturn- his work, karma and his natal Uranus in Sagittarius. Pluto in Capricorn affecting his Jupiter meant he had the time and patience to plan, to wait, to set it up and then go for the “glory.”
Jupiter Retrograde was sitting on his Natal Lilith and Vesta making them extra dramatic in their expression. Lubitz needed to be seen, center- stage known at any cost.
Mars had just touched off his natal Jupiter on March 18 igniting his headstrong, reckless, angry, childlike, spontaneous, energies.
Saturn Retrograde in Sagittarius is squaring his natal Juno, Goddess symbol of the perfect ‘wife” or partner. She symbolizes feminine genius. Apparently his girlfriend is pregnant about two months with his child. They were going to get married. Perhaps his inner insecurities about becoming a Father, Saturn’s realm conflicted with his inner sense of inadequacy, Juno in Pisces.
TRANSITS ON DAY OF
On the day of this terrible event the MOON is at 27 degrees of TAURUS conjunct the terrible demon star ALGOL, always at 26 degrees Taurus or the Medusa’s head. This Star is considered to be the worst and most evil star of them all, and has a connection with death and pain. Lubitz’a Natal Moon was directly opposite this degree. This was like an intense Full Moon for him and as with all Full Moon’s it affected his unconscious memories and his emotions bringing them to a frenzied peak of uncontrollable power.
The MOON was Void-of course from Taurus to Gemini.
IN SUMMARY
Such a tragedy. In all humility I do feel that Astrology can be a great revealer of character as it has been used to delineate personality traits and potentially strong times of difficulty and “fate” for any person for over ten thousand years. Employers should wish to try and use every means at their disposal to help discover the hidden aspects of a person’s psyche to try to prevent any future accidents of this type. Astrology can be one superb method.
