On August 30, 1918, Ted Williams was born. I admit I didn’t know much about his career as a kid. I was a child of the Mantel-Marris era. In fact, the only thing I knew about him for a long time was that he had that some of this children had his body posthumously frozen and stored at an Arizona cryonics facility. There is much controversy surrounding the procedure which pitted his children against one another. Leaving the emotions behind, I had to look at the astrology of a man whose body would have such a bizarre ending…or should I say beginning.
Upon casting his chart, I looked immediately to his eight house, the house of death and rebirth. Where else? Mr. Williams did not fail me. He had Pluto, Juno, Jupiter, Vesta and the Moon all in the eighth house at birth.
Pluto in the eighth is where he likes to be – Pluto vibrates to the energy of the eighty house and concerns itself with regeneration. He had to have an interest in the afterlife with that placement. Juno is the goddess of loyalty and nestled next to Pluto just enhances his desire to solve the mysteries of death. Jupiter is ever expansive and brings optimism, hope and thoughts of the future. Vesta will put roadblocks in our way to reaching our goal. I read there was misuse of his head and that employees of the facility removed it and even used as a football by some member of the facility. If true, that certainly sounds like a roadblock to me. Of course, the Moon is our emotional barometer. If Mr. Williams made the decision to be frozen I am sure he had some issues to worth through!
I find this an interesting case study of our charts predicting not only our live path but live after death path as well.
