In our World Predictions for Feb 2013 we wrote on the 4th Feb that "As Pisces is the sign of children and senior citizens as well as spirituality, this is a very special time and time for spiritual sad events. However, this is one of the best times also for mass prayers...
With many planets in the sign of Pisces including the Moon, it is not surprising that an event has taken place which hasn't happened since 1415, Pope Benedict XVI resigned the his position making our prediction come true without our realizing the impact of the simple astrological truth. The Pope happens to be a n Aries but has Mercury and Jupiter in Pisces and the fact the he announced this on the day when Moon is in the same sign, almost confirms about his spiritual nature. You often hear of truly gifted musicians passing away when Moon is in Pisces. Similarly, we heard about Princess Diana when the Moon was in Leo (sign of Royalty).
The ocean related themes that we have predicted have started with three major earthquakes all in the ocean as we mentioned and a ship being stranded with over 600 passengers. These are all Pisces themes and will continue till mid-March when there are six planets in Pisces!
Here is what we wrote about the Pope when he was elected in 2005.
Written in 2005:
Pope Benedict is an Aries with Mercury in Pisces and Venus in Taurus. This is like being a pioneer and the poet. Aries represents the beginning of the zodiac while Pisces represents the end. The pope is extremely spiritual (Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Pisces) and very scholarly. His faith comes from deep realization of truth although he is not a very objective person. He is quite broadminded and philosophical and has great reverence for anything holy and sacred.
Venus in Taurus makes him very loyal and trustworthy in friendship and given to old fashioned values in relationship and sanctity of marriage.
Palmistry: The Pope has the Head Line joined to the Life line indicating a cautious nature and he is not likely to make any changes in the Church at all (which is a good think otherwise it would be a free for all!). He has a very nurturing chart because the Pisces side (water) gives deep empathy and compassion while Venus in Taurus (earth) provides the practicality and ability to do something productive.
With Neptune in Leo, Pope Benedict XVI belongs the Age of the Golden Movies, and projects a certain charisma which his generation was known for all around the world.
Unfortunately, Saturn in Leo in 2006 will conjunct his Neptune and this is a very stressful transit for the heart for all his age group. Mars will also touch off his Neptune intermittently from July 2005 till Feb. 2006, indicating a very stressful time and when he has to be extra careful of his health and infections including pneumonia.
Luckily, Jupiter sextiles his Neptune and trines his Mars from end of July till Oct 2005, indicating trips and a protection for his health.
With Saturn squaring his Sun sign culminating in summer of 2005, he is in a major new seven year period with a lot of responsibilities. Saturn trining his Mercury and Jupiter gives him excellent management skills till end of July to establish long range plans and delegate authority.
His stressful periods for health are from end of Sep. till mid Oct. 2005 and late summer of 2006.
