I’ve been looking forward to this combination because it is easy to see that Till and I are no strangers to hard work (Saturn) and matters that many would prefer to ignore (Pluto).
My recent look at Till’s chart can be seen here.
Till and I both have a strong predominance of “malefics” in our charts. The malefics are usually viewed as Mars (violence), Pluto (death) and Saturn (confinement, slavery). While Mars, Pluto and Saturn can go easily in painful directions, these energies are very powerful and necessary if harnessed to make very necessary improvements. It really is a question of intentions and alignment.
Capricorn is a disciplined energy which can be depressing and repressive. This is where we find Till’s Sun (fame, identity) and my Venus (art) stellium (“planet” grouping) which includes North Node (fate), Juno (serious relationships, just rule), and Ceres (nurturing) and Black Moon Lilith (vengeance).
The combination of these energies in our charts suggests that Till could easily shine a powerful, ambitious light on my severe artistic repression (Venus in Capricorn opposition Saturn in Cancer). I have been blacklisted from life itself and anyone with a heart would understand that this severe oppression is nothing but a mirror of the kind of rulership under which we are groaning.
Despite his massive success, I have to imagine that Till’s ambitions have been severely thwarted under this sort of regime and it must have impacted his life deeply as someone from East Germany. This Sun/Venus alignment could bring tremendous opportunities to advance ambitions if we could find the mutual desire to collaborate.
What further supports that we would share a painful mutual motivation can be seen in the square between my Mars/Chiron (very painful wounds) in Aries (war) and our Sun/Venus (spotlight, charm) combination in Capricorn (structures, order).
Another “malefic” area in our chart may be Scorpio (ruled by Mars and Pluto). My Sun/Mercury (fame and communication) is in Scorpio (ambition, secrets, sex). Since my Scorpio is connected to the 7th house of partners and enemies, this shows that my partners and enemies are powerful (Scorpio) media figures (Sun/Mercury) for good or ill.
It’s no surprise that a prominent media figure like Till shows both Neptune and Venus in this space. Neptune and Venus are about Spirit and Beauty and both are very associated with music. Till’s amazing music (Venus, Neptune) plays with themes of horror and the taboo (Scorpio).
What further supports the media (Mercury) potential of this collaboration can be seen in that we have a harmonious trine with my Moon (feelings), in the 12th house (isolation) in Pisces (spirit).
My Moon is very afflicted by Pluto (pain), Saturn (bondage) and Venus (relationships) and I have been forced into isolation by the present sneaky rulership. This is continually represented in my chart. Since this painful emotional area (Moon in Pisces) is trine Till’s Neptune in Scorpio, it is possible that the cruelty visited on me may touch him as he is likely to know suffering himself living with such a sensitive energy as Neptune in Scorpio.
It’s really a question of whether we can know how to make the most of the potent possibilities inherent in deep suffering. Someone who constantly numbs their pain and tunes out reality accomplishes very little. The world population seems to be dividing along these lines - between those willing to cope with the pain and those who will do anything to keep their heads buried in the sand.
Another indicator of the immense power that could be harnessed in our collaboration might be seen in the square between our Scorpio planets (Neptune, Venus, Sun, Mercury) and Till’s Pars Fortuna (luck) and Mars (power) in Leo (fame and glory).
A lot of my difficulty involves the way in which the present rulership works so hard to bury my work and light. Till’s Leo (glory) placements are strong and lucky and the chart shows that he would be likely to have the means to help overcome what my sneaky powerful enemies (Sun/Mercury in Scorpio) are doing to me.
Another “malefic” spot in my chart is my Saturn (restriction) in the 3rd house (communications) in Cancer (home). This shows how I have been finagled into house arrest and that I am a historian (Cancer can represent history) who communicates (3rd house) about the oppression (Saturn) of my homeland (Cancer).
We have yet another indicator that Till might want to help vindicate the injustice visited on me as he just so happens to show Pallas Athena (creative just war) in Cancer (emotions). Till is likely to feel an inclination to stand up for Justice (Pallas Athena) in my native country and his (Cancer).
Another indication that Till may feel a lot of sympathy for the suffering I endure can be indicated by his Moon in Taurus. Till’s Moon is right on my ascendant (how I come across). Anyone can see that I am an angry wounded fighter and this is highlighted in my chart by Mars/Chiron in Aries on my ascendant. While this melange can be disruptive, well managed these energies could also make me a great healer and I do have healing powers to a noticeable degree.
With Till’s Moon in this area in beautiful, nurturing Taurus, one can see that there is a strong tendency for him to understand and sympathize (Moon in Taurus). What suggests that Till shares my anger can be seen in the trine between my Mars and his Mars in Leo.
My Mars/Chiron in Aries is trine Jupiter (expansion) which may represent the hugeness of my anger and pain. Till’s Saturn (work) and Mercury (communications) is aligned with my Jupiter (teaching truth) in Aquarius (philanthropy, technology) in my 10th house of career. We once again see that Till would have immense discipline (Saturn) and media (Mercury) skill to help augment my benevolent work (Jupiter in Aquarius).
On top of all that, Till and I show a harmonious grand trine between Mars, Venus and the Moon. This combo implies a lot of understanding and attraction.
I am convinced that Till connects with audiences as well as he does because his good intentions are abundantly obvious. Even though we both appear to wrestle with difficulties, hopefully we will know how to make the best of them and our collaboration could clearly improve the world.
