When Oscar Pistorius shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva
Steenkamp shock waves were felt around the world. How does a seemingly romantic
relationship end in tragedy? Astrology
can serve as a guide to relationships through the use of chart comparison. The
planetary positions of one horoscope in relationship to another horoscope indicate
areas of compatibility as well as points of contention between two people.
Comparing the horoscopes of Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp reveals a passionate
and volatile relationship.
The first thing that pops out when comparing these two
are the two Sun signs. Oscar is a Scorpio and Reeva a Leo. The Suns are in a 90
degree aspect to one another. In the language of astrology this aspect is
called a square. Squares are aspects of agitation and ill ease. While aspects between the Sun in one chart to
the Sun in another are usually considered positive, a square presents
problems. There is a challenge here. The Sun represents the ego and here the two
egos take somewhat of a combative stance against one another. Scorpio and Leo
are fixed signs, one of a sensitive watery nature, (yes Scorpio is sensitive)
while the other, fiery Leo seeks the limelight and wants to be
appreciated.
Oscar with a Leo Moon needs that appreciation and
recognition for his accomplishments as well.
Reeva’s Mars in Leo sits on Oscar’s Moon. This aspect is one of great passion and a
rather spicy sex life. They enjoy many of the same types of activities and a
relationship filled with spontaneity. The problem here is Mars is the planet of
action and aggression while the Moon rules the feelings and emotions. Often in
this type of intra-aspect between two people we find that the Moon person (Oscar)
feels that the Mars person (Reeva) is insensitive and upsets him emotionally.
The Mars person (Reeva) feels that the Moon person (Oscar) is self indulgent
and becomes impatient with the Moon person.
Aggressive Mars has more action in this comparison as
Oscar’s Aquarian Mars opposes Reeva’s Leo Sun.
A Leo Sun person is not going to take any crap from anyone. (Neither is
a Scorpio Sun person for that matter) A Sun opposite Mars combination brings
electric excitement, an attraction between the two that is difficult to resist.
It also brings a conflict of wills, with each heading in a different direction
and trying to get the other to follow.
There is a lovely trine aspect, 120 degrees, between
Reeva’s Venus and Oscar’s Neptune. This aspect is one of romantic attraction
with a spiritual, intuitive connection between the two. Without an accurate birth time for Reeva, her
Moon cannot be placed with any accuracy.
Her Moon is definitely in Capricorn but whether or not it conjuncts
Oscar’s Neptune is pure speculation. A
Moon/Neptune conjunction between two people insures a strong psychic
connection. A sensitive attunement to
one another with lots of empathy.
Neptune is where we don the rose colored glasses and see things as we
wish them to be not as they really are.
These are but a few of the intra aspects between Oscar
and Reeva but with just these few one can see the attraction as well as some of
the difficulties between the two. We may never know what triggered this awful
incident. The transiting Sun in Aquarius
at the time of the incident opposed Reeva’s Sun while squaring Oscar’s. The Sun was approaching conjunction with
Oscar’s planet of action, Mars in Aquarius.
Mars in the sky at that time was in favorable aspect to Oscar’s ruling
planet Pluto. Oscar has Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto all in Scorpio. All signs have their shadow side. For Scorpio’s
that shadow can be suspicion, obsession and paranoia.
Whatever the trigger or reason a woman’s life has ended
tragically. And a man has to live with
the results of his actions. The lesson
here may be that we all may need to take a step back, take things down a notch
and take a calm look at what we are doing before we take irrevocable action.
