Celebrity Astrology: Steve Irwin’s Horoscope at His Death
September 8th, 2006 at 5:07 am (Celebrity Astrology, Current Events)
The astrology of death has always been very interesting to me, though some people are not comfortable with it. Typically, we will see several very negative astrological indications of death, using various methods. In a previous post on Steve Irwin’s unfortunate and untimely death, I discussed his Solar Return for 2006. Having had a moment to look at other indicators, the same theme tends to repeat in other charts.
Steve Irwin’s Secondary Progressions for September 4, 2006
Secondary progressions are a way of symbolically advancing the positions of planets and house cusps in the natal horoscope a year per day at their natural speeds. For example, at your first birthday, your Sun will have moved about 1 degree forward in the zodiac, because it takes 1 day for it to move 1 degree in the sky.
Steve Irwin’s secondary progressions for 9/4/2006 contain a number of some pretty stark warnings:
1. Steve Irwin’s Progressed Moon conjunct the fixed star Algol (”the Ghoul,” in Arabic) at 25 Taurus. Algol is the head of the Medusa, also known as “the most evil star out in the heavens.” It indicates a violent and sudden death.
2. Steve Irwin’s Progressed Ascendant moving onto the fixed star Bellatrix (of Mars and Mercury nature), which brings treachery, poison, and accidents “causing blindness and ruin.”
3. Steve Irwin’s Progressed Venus, ruler of the natal Ascendant on the fixed star Sharatan (of Mars and Saturn nature), which brings bodily injuries.
4. Steve Irwin’s Progressed Midheaven AND Mercury are both on the fixed star Algenib (of Mars and Mercury nature), which brings “ambition, vanity, intuition, enthusiasm, caprice and bad judgment” according to Vivian Robson.
5. Steve Irwin’s Progressed Sun at 17 Aries, on the fixed star Nodus Secundus (AKA the Great Serpent), which brings death by accidental poisoning. Robson says that ancient authors wrote “when a comet was [on Nodus Secundus], poison was scattered over the world.”
6. Steve Irwin’s Progressed Jupiter, ruler of the 8th house of death, partile conjunct natal Sun at 3 Pisces. Because Jupiter moves so slowly, we have to be very exact. Jupiter has been conjunct Steve Irwin’s Sun since late 2003, giving about a 4-year general window of danger. The other, faster moving planets pinpoint the actual time of death.
7. Progressed Moon opposes natal Saturn by antiscion. Saturn, of course, is a malefic planet, while the Moon is one of the sources of life in the chart (the other one is the Sun and the Lord of the Ascendant). Opposition, even by antiscion, is not a good thing.

Comment: What nice work.
Question: Could you provide me with the birth data for Mr. Irwin please? I have looked all over the net. You obviously have his birth data and I would be much obliged for the courtesy.
Thank you, Dave Smith

Dear Dave,
Thank you very much for your kind words. I do not have Steve Irwin’s time of birth, and do not find it particularly necessary for this inquiry. Rather, I have set the chart for noon for reasons discussed here:

Hello Nina, I do find your interpretations interesting, but if you don’t have an accurate birth time how can you do an accurate Solar & Lunar return for Steve, the times I have found give totally different charts to yours, which then would lead to a different interpretation of his death.

Dear Gillian,
Thank you so much for your interesting comment. I must question the validity of any birthtimes that give a different interpretation of Steve Irwin’s death. The noontime chart shows his death pretty accurately, I believe, so it’s only logical that charts that show a different kind of death would not be accurate.
As for the reasons for using a noontime chart, this is an accepted technique in looking at the public life of an individual, even when the birthtime is known. I am firmly against using astrology in a paparazzo-like manner to delve into private lives in which I have no place. The actual birthtime shows the private and public lives together, while the noontime chart shows the public life only. Steve Irwin’s death qualifies as a public event, and as such, will show up in the returns for the noontime chart.
Warmly,
Nina

Hi Nina…I find your work very interesting but if there is no birth time available for Steve Irwin how do we know which planet rules his 8th house of death?
