Much has been discussed and written about the astrological significance of Nessus conjunct Saturn and its relevance to world events. A particular focus of this discourse is the release of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, examination of whose chart provides intriguing insights into cosmically timed events, such as his recent arrest and release.
The Galactic Center positioned at 27 degrees of Sagittarius is especially valuable in understanding the unfolding cosmic narrative. Intriguingly, this is where the Centaur, Nessus, is currently residing and notably was in tight alignment with Saturn at the time Assange got bail on December 7, 2010.
The compelling connection between the planetary positions, especially that of Nessus conjunct Saturn, and Assange’s saga can be traced back to the underlying properties and narratives of these celestial bodies.
The asteroid Nessus, discovered in 1993, symbolises themes around abuse, misuse of power, and the consequences of inappropriate actions. It represents a spectrum of murky human actions, themes of violence, betrayal, and revenge, as well as transformation and rebirth.
Saturn, on the other hand, is a representative of authority and restrictions. It is often associated with laws, structure, feeling of guilt, and the urge to control. It holds the inviolable laws of Karma – the concept that as you sow, so shall you reap.
Generally, Nessus conjunct Saturn falls under the dynamic of punishing the wrongdoings and bringing the truth in the limelight – themes definitely revolving around the life of Assange.
The chart of Assange remarkably revealed that at the time of his arrest on April 11, 2019, Saturn was once again having a rendezvous with another Centaur, Pholus, and the South Node at 20 to 23 degrees of Capricorn. This alignment, referred to as Saturn conjunct Pholus and the South Node, has associations similar to Nessus—unearthing buried truths, the concept of consequence and poetic justice, and rectification of the misuse of power.
His chart infers that, when Nessus was aligning with Saturn during Assange’s release on bail, it was orchestrating the themes of checking oppression, bringing truth in the limelight and facing the consequences, precisely aligning with Assange’s story where he displayed classified information to public scrutiny and had to face a backlash from authority.
Furthermore, at the time of his arrest, the Saturn-Pholus-South-Node meeting in Capricorn reinforced the theme of consequences for actions, solidifying it with a sense of fate and karma in motion.
In short, the planets seemed to mirror the tumultuous journey of Assange, with Saturn, Nessus, Pholus and the Galactic Center all playing their roles in scripting the celestial ballet, choreographed in synchrony with landmark events in his life.
Studying these planetary configurations provides an incredible illustration of how events on Earth might be influenced by heavenly bodies. It allows us to understand and anticipate occurrences in our lives and in the world through a lens that interweaves the human experience with the cosmos.
Julian Assange’s case, painted against the celestial canvas, is a testimony of this blend, of stark human actions and the patterns traced by distant planets. It offers us the understanding that even in the seemingly mundane, there can be a touch of the cosmic, a dash of the extraordinary and echoes of the celestial.
