Pope John Paul II's Canonization
Here we go again.
First:
I decided to make Youtube channel. It’s here — but I haven’t posted anything yet.
My heartfelt thanks to everyone that supported the idea. Let’s see if I can make it work.
Then:
I decided to do a course on the Paradise Lost.
I love the poem, there’s tons of astrology (and other symbols) there, and I just want to do it.
I’ll do more adversising later, but my plans are:
14 classes (an introduction, one for each Canto, a final one), twice a month.
I plan to point out and explain every symbol, astrological or otherwise, that I can find.
The cost: 200 USD (a bit more expensive than the other ones (on the basic celestial mechanics, and on temperaments), but that’s a lot of work. And it may be paid in installments if the person needs it).
Again, if you’re interested, please talk to me.

St. John Paul’s Chart again, then.
→ Once more, I’ll ignore fixed stars and the key Arabian parts. There’s not doubt that this would be more telling with them; but there’s enough testimonies here as it is.
Searching for things that happened in the life of a person after the person has died is always fun.
For those of you that don’t remember, here’s his natal chart:

He was canonized in April the 27th, 2014 (he had been beatified in 2011), nine years after his death, notwithstanding the shouts of “Santo Subito!” (Saint, immediately!).
How are the profections for the period?

Well… Profected Ascendant (by antiscion) and profected Saturn (by body) hit natal Moon.
Profected Fortuna hits natal Midheaven.
Profected nodes, by antiscion, hit the natal nodes. Profected Venus does the same.
Profected Jupiter and Mercury opposed each other by antiscion.
Profected Sun is conjunct natal Fortuna by antiscion.
Profected Moon conjunct natal Ascendant by antiscion.
I might be missing something here, because it’s a lot of action, considering St. John Paul was already dead.
Midheaven; Ascendant; Ascendant ruler; ninth-house and tenth-house rulers; Jupiter. Not that hard to see what’s happening.
The progressions (as usual, I’m showing the position for his 2023 birthday, and my comments are on what these things are doing for one year) are as follows:

The Ascendant opposes — or the Descendant conjuncts — natal Pluto.
Progressed Midheaven conjuncts progressed North Node, and is hit by progressed Moon.
The Moon also opposes natal Venus, conjuncts natal North Node, and opposes natal Mercury.
Not as much stuff happening, but it’s also clear enough - Midheaven, north node, Ascendant ruler, ruler of the ninth house…
Let’s see what’s happening in the Solar Return.

Humm.. Mercury, Solar Return ruler of the Ascendant and natal chart ruler of the ninth house of religion on the Ascendant. That’s what I call a good start.
This is happening on the natal Moon, of course.
Pluto’s marking the Solar Return’s ninth house, to be sure.
The SR Midheaven-IC axis is conjunct its natal counterpart, but inverted.
Solar Return Saturn - ruler of the tenth and eleventh houses is opposed SR Moon, on the eleventh-house cusp by antiscion. Natal Saturn is hit by SR Fortuna. Natal Fortuna is on the SR eleventh cusp (by antiscion) and conjunt SR Saturn.
Again, the testimonies don’t pose too much difficulty.
Lastly, let’s check the Lunar Return.

IF you missed Jupiter exactly on the Midheaven, and Pluto exactly on the fourth cusp, let me point to you that Mars is conjunct Natal Mars, and the North Node, conjunct the natal Ascendant.
Lunar Return Moon is conjunct Natal Fortuna.
And the LR ninth house is conjunct the Moon.
I’m sure there’s more, but we don’t need more.

I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Easter.
