SCALIA natal Chiron which is also conjunct his progressed Sun. His natal part of death (18 Taurus) was in opposition to transiting Mars (20 Scorpio), the sign of death, creating a square with transiting Sun (23 Aquarius) in his 4th house of endings. The part of death derived from his progressed chart is conjunct his natal Ascendant which conjunct his natal Moon and the natal axis of Chiron’s North Nodes (3 Scorpio), which also squared his natal Pluto (28 Cancer). My intent in showing all these signa- tures of death is not to muddy the waters with complexity but to show how potent the symbols of death were when he died. Scalia’s Death Chart with the United States Looking at Scalia’s death chart is also describing his legacy. Especially in comparison to the chart of the United States (Sagittarius rising). The mutable (ideology, dogma, and religiosity) Grand- Cross of his death chart is locked right into the United States chart in a rath- er curious way. The death chart with Saturn in Sagittarius is conjunct the ascendant of the US chart–squared by the Chiron/Jupiter/Node configuration which itself falls right on the Neptune in the US chart. Neptune in Virgo having a potential to be a religious purist or fun- damentalism. He has and will definitely left a stamp of fundamentalism in the collective awareness. He was known to say there is no line between state and church. Could the Saturn in Sagittarius in the first house be the baton of funda- mentalism being passed onto the new rising wave (Ascendant)? Sun and Moon in Libra, Ascendant in Pisces BIO: Hello I’m Vinnie Scotti, I live in Seattle Washington. I started asking everyone there zodiac sign about 20 years while in high school, little did I know astrology would become my raison d’ etre. I use astrology as a foundational frame work to see through the contorted illusions of consensus reality. I love digging in the underbelly of journal- ism to find out what’s really going on on this planet, whether it’s through educating myself in deep politics, ufology, abrupt cli- mate change or any occulted and marginal- ized topic of import. I’m an artist, my main medium is oil paintings. I love myself some good underground hip hop, and any good enigma rapped in a mystery. I must admit I don’t always walk the walk, but when I do I know at a core level my spirituality and humanitarian concerns need to be one and the same .NAMASTE!
