Giuseppe Garibaldi
Today We are celebrating Giuseppe Garibaldi birthday and he will be the topic of second blog entry. Again I would like to show only elements of chart analysis as without the conversation it provides a fragmentary picture. I will mark very strong positions in his astrology with related aspects.
Garibaldi a towering historical personality does not have a unified agreed by everybody biography, especially his views on religion are not clear. With his strong anti catholic sentiment, positions held in masonic lodge and quotes about following Jesus.
His strong Jupiter in Aquarius gives the famous motto Liberté-Égalité-Fraternité not his but certainly close to his heart. Moon trine Uranus highlights that he considered the motto a birthright law for humans.
Ascendant in Cancer in his case gives the image of searching and giving security in a close knit circle. Which can be seen in groups of volunteers commanded by him that were so crucial in many liberation wars.
His Mars in III house and ruling the X house brings the archetypal figure of the Warrior and perception of someone who can talk the talk and probably walk the walk.
North Node in V house is pointing that realization of his dreams is an important path and knowing that unification of Italy was one of those dreams we know the he was quite successful at.
Following on last point Sun trine Pluto underlines very strong transformative power influencing him from transpersonal level.
Moon in Gemini gives him joy in exchange of thoughts so visible in political and revolutionary position.
And Neptune trine Ascendant makes him to go through life with unwavering certainty of a lunatic. Many followed him to find victory and/or their own demise. We see the latter in his Moon trine Lilith, the shadow of Garibald: Maniac need to control others.
