The Kennedy family and 18º Cancer

 Originally published: 21 October 2013 | Author: Smiljana Gavrančić 

Inside the sign of Cancer, which is primarily related to genetics, there is a special place (18° Cancer), which tells about somebody from our genetics, who had made a huge change and put together 1 and 8. One describes the very personality, whereas 8 is related to dangers, as it is related to the eight house. At some point, somebody has managed to change something or, if the change was not possible (which will be shown by the dispositor planet) – this somebody had made something very negative, as they have put 1 and 8 together, which might be a very dangerous sign… This is why, it is very desirable that our Waters (emotions) are as “pure” as they can be… as this is who we can change our DNA code (18° is analogues to the sign of Virgo, whereas Mercury as the ruler of Virgo, is the essential signifier for genes…).

Also, 18° of any sign is known as the degree of fatefully emphasized dangers, it is a degree related to “hard destiny”, it is a kind of destiny not to be changed easily…

18º Cancer in the chart of the United States

This degree is emphasized in natal charts of the representative of the most famous political dynasty, the Kennedy family, and, ultimately, in the very chart of the United States, through the midpoint of the Sun (the ruler of 10 – representative, main figure in the country) and retrograde Mercury (the ruler of 8 – dangers) at 18° 44’!

On the very date of the assassination in Dallas (on 22 November 1963), when the youngest American President in the history, John F. Kennedy (“Jack”) was murdered, the Sun in the progressions (President) of the United States was at 18° Capricorn and the opposition (the nature of which is Uranus – something sudden, shocking) activated 18° Cancer… Many years later, more precisely on 16 July 1999, on the date when his only sun, John F. Kennedy Junior, lost his life (together with his wife Carolyn Bessette and her sister), piloting his private plane, which landed in the waters of the ocean (Neptune) – Mars in the directions of the United States was also at 18°, but this time of Libra, making an exact square to 18° Cancer.

John F Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy

The Kennedy couple had felt, on their own skin, the influence of 18° Cancer at the very beginning of their marriage. They got married on 12 September 1953 and in 1955 Jacqueline had the first miscarriage… Her Ascendant is in Scorpio, which might give a tendency towards miscarriages…However, her Ascendant is almost at 18°, whereas Pluto (the ruler of Ascendant) is located, where else, but on 18° Cancer and in her 8^th house (dangers, pregnancies…). The Moon is the dispostior and we can see that it is going towards making a square with Pluto, so it may be concluded that here we might easily have a picture of a murder… This aspect, for sure, brings fears throughout her life, premonitions about bad things happening… After her miscarriage in 1955, she soon got pregnant again and on 23 August 1956, Jacqueline gave birth to a daughter, Arabella Kennedy. Unfortunately, this was a stillborn baby. Directive Venus (daughter) Jacqueline was going precisely during 1956 over 18° Cancer, over her natal Pluto! A new pregnancy brought to life, on 27 November 1957, Caroline Bouvier Kennedy (still alive today), the first daughter of John and Jacqueline. Then, on 25 November 1960, the first and the only son of these two was born. However, John F. Kennedy Junior died, but in a plane crash in 1999, as already mentioned in the text above. Jacqueline and John had another son (Patrick Bouvier Kennedy), which was born on 7 August 1963, but he died on 9 August of the same year. That very same year in November, the aforementioned assassination is to take place in Dallas…

However, the following needs to be explained here. The very John F. Kennedy (“Jack”) has an active 18° Cancer in his chart and through the midpoint between the Moon (an essential signifier for the family, in his case the ruler of 10, as 4 of 7 – the family, which we create with our partners) and Mercury (an essential signifier for children). Namely, it is not difficult to conclude now that the contact between Pluto of his wife and this midpoint of the mentioned planets in his chart, plus, all of this being at this very fateful 18° Cancer, had brought to them these difficult and painful moments in the area of children… Also, if we look at what is the dispositor of 18° Cancer doing in John’s chart, we can see that the Moon is in Virgo (which carries along Saturn and Pluto from Cancer) and that this Moon is making a square with his Venus, making it not difficult to conclude that in John’s genetics, there were some ancestors who, in the area of relations (Venus on the Rigel star of the constellation of Orion) had left some issues behind…

John F Kennedy Junior

He had it all – the charms, the money, the fame of an untouchable “America’s Price”, but he, too, had borne in his blood the “malicious gene” of the Kennedy’s, whose most striking character feature was to be all too daring before the challenges of life, looking straight into the eyes of fate… John F. Kennedy Junior, who was nicknamed John-John, had no luck neither to live long into his old age nor continue the famous blood line.

“We dared to think, in that other Irish phrase, that this John Kennedy would live to comb gray hair, with his beloved Carolyn by his side. But like his father, he had every gift but length of years…” These words were uttered as a part of the last speech by his uncle, the last patriarch of the Kennedy clan, Edward Kennedy. This was one of the saddest funerals… John F. Kennedy Junior was only 38 at the time when he lost his life… The whole United States was in a shock…

Retrograde Mars at 18º Cancer

John Junior is of a Virgo Ascendant, while the ruler (Mercury) is in the sign leading to dangers, precisely the 8^th sign in the Zodiac, the Scorpio. Mercury is at 13° Scorpio, which is a close conjunction with the very degree of the exaltation of Uranus – John used to love planes ever since he was a little child… When John said to his mother on one occasion that he was about to take piloting lessons, she cut the story short, saying: “I beg of you not to do this. And I ask of you to promise not to take those lessons and not to pilot…” John promised, but he secretly continued to take piloting lessons and, after her death, he bought a small private plane. Dispositor of his Ascendant, Mercury in Scorpio, is precisely the retrograde (secret) Mars at 18° Cancer, which has also described his final destiny! Retrograde Mars from 18° Cancer is also the ruler of 8 (dangers) as well as 3 (traffic) and it is in 11 (planes, risks) and it is going into the opposition with Saturn, implying that we can conclude that it is precisely him who cannot fully do the pilot’s job, as this retrograde Mars is in its fall, “dragging him down”, which finally happened on 16 July 1999.

And the mother, the mother had a bad feeling… Remember her Pluto (the ruler of Ascendant – herself) at 18° Cancer, on retrograde Mars of her son… Both Mars and Pluto are unconscious planets, and the very position of 18° Cancer can be very dangerous, which proved to be the case, and it is not exclusive that the son’s potential death was known to her through her memory (Cancer) of an ancestor within her, while retrograde Mars in the chart of John Junior caused him to have a strong unconscious need to risk and “fall’ as primarily – Mars in Cancer is always the picture of a “fallen solder”… Dispositor at 18° Cancer is his Moon in Aquarius (planes) in conjunction with Chiron (getting/being wounded) and in opposition with Uranus (plane) in Leo (the exile for Uranus) in 12 (ocean) and Pluto (death). Also, there is a square with the Sun (life), which, amongst other things is also at the center of a T-square, is also one of the most significant planets. The Sun describes the period between 22 to 41 years of age and it is precisely at this period that John F. Kennedy Junior’s life ended…

If Saturn (consequence) in the natal chart is the former Mars (action), then it is precisely in Saturn, at 15° Capricorn, at the degree of Jupiter’s fall (ethics, law) where we can suspect of some illegal, immoral actions from our past lives, maybe precisely in a war (… opposition with a retrograde Mars at 18° Cancer)… Saturn is the last conjunction of the Moon (memories that the soul has brought from the past life), so it is rather important in this story, whereas the retrograde Mars at 18° Cancer – the first Moon’s conjunction (what it is going towards in this life…). In line with this, I cannot be without mentioning the fact that John F. Kennedy Junior finished Law School only to make his mother happy, as she wanted her son to be a lawyer. He disliked legal sciences and prior to studying law, he studied history, and he passed his bar exam only at his third attempt. He practiced law as his profession for a very short period of time, although he did not lose a single case during that time, however, after his mother’s death, he got into publishing business and founded his own magazine under the name “George” (Gemini at MC), inspired by the First US President George Washington. He is the first from the famous Kennedy family who did not study at Harvard, thereby interrupting the family tradition. He was neither to interested in politics, though many did see a leader in him… Even, in one of the publications of “George” he criticized his relatives, actually, the children of his uncle Robert Kennedy (also assassinated), because of the consumption of narcotics and a very “careless” lifestyle, characteristic of this political dynasty. Those who knew him stated that, taking into account the atmosphere in which he grew up, that was actually an exceptional, and above all, a good man. In addition to his clear charisma, the lifestyle in a high class society, he was an unpretentious, kind, cheerful person, loyal to his childhood friends… However, he also liked danger, he liked flying…

Marriage with Carolyn Bessette

The only thing that Jacqueline managed to do during her life was to prevent John to marry an actress Hannah Daryl, whom he dated for a long time. She was also against other women, whom John had relationships with… He married beautiful Carolyn on 21 September 1996, as he, as he stated himself, “was charmed by her ethereal beauty…” and many believe that this was, in a way, paying post-mortem respects to his mother… And everything else related to this love was ethereal, i.e. in the symbolism of Cancer… Intimacy, candles, pearl-colored dress…

Namely, unlike John, Carolyn was not used to being disturbed by the press, she loved privacy and peaceful life. Even John asked the press, on several occasions, to let her be, as it disturbed her. The wedding was an intimate one, it could not have been a more romantic one. A Baptist church, without electrical energy supply, was lit with candles and lamps, while the floor was decorated with flowers. The wedding was so intimate, that, actually, some members of the Kennedy family were not invited at all… Carolyn had a simple pearl-colored silk crepe gown … Her hair was pulled back away from her face and styled as a bun, at the nape of her neck, pinned with a clip belonging to her late mother-in-law Jackie Kennedy.

Carolyn Bessette in her chart has the Moon at 21° Cancer (close to 18° Cancer), which describes her as a person who loves privacy, peace, as this contributes a lot to her health, affects her physiology (the Moon in 6)… Carolyn and John used to spend work days in New York, whereas for the weekend they would go to their private property, to a small island, which John inherited from his parents, as they wanted to be far away from the public. They used to use John’s private plane to get to that island, which John piloted…

The very 18° Cancer is active in their Davison chart (their joint horoscope). Namely, the midpoint between Mercury (the ruler of 8 – dangers) and Uranus (plane) is at 17° Cancer 34’ (which is within the permitted orb of +/- 30’, namely, almost at 18° Cancer), while the midpoint of Venus (an essential signifier for relations, here is the ruler of 7 – what the relationship develops into with time) and Uranus (plane) is at 19° Cancer 00’ (pretty close to the fateful 18° Cancer)!!! Finally, the very Ascendant is at a Scorpio degree (20°) of Scorpio, which relates this relationship to the series 8 (dangers)…

„Only my Carolyn is not afraid to fly with me… “

... stated John F. Kennedy Junior… Let us look at the end John’s Mars’ return where it is clearly seen to which extent he got into a deadly jeopardy, together with his wife. Namely, precisely as there are Saturn’s, Jupiter’s, Solar, Lunar returns, etc. we can also do a return for any planet to their natal position. Mars transits the Zodiac in about 2 years and more-or-less, we experience a Mars return every 2 years. The return happened on 2^nd August 1998 and it lasted until 14^th July 2000. It is precisely during this interval that the fatal flight took place (16 July 1999)…

Ascendant (John F. Kennedy Junior) is at 26° Aries 58’ (at Vertex, the star nebula of the Andromeda constellation, which can point towards a violent death), whereas Mars (the ruler of Ascendant) is at 18° Cancer (where it should be as this is coming of Mars to its natal position). I will add that Mars here is the ruler of 8 (dangers), precisely as it is in his natal chart. However, Venus (the ruler of 7 – the wife, Carolyn) is at 17° Cancer 32’. The position in 3 speaks about their jeopardy (18° Cancer) in traffic, which quite certainly takes them, through the dispositor (the Moon) in 8 in conjunction with Pluto, into death…

On that 16 July 1999, transit Sun (life) was at 24° (Neptunian degree) of Cancer, at the very retrograde Mercury (the ruler of 8) of the United States and it, thus, ‘summoned’ 18° Cancer, having in mind that 18° Cancer is the midpoint between the Sun (life) and retrograde Mercury (danger) in the chart of this country… The very retrograde movement was shown in the need for taking several days to find the bodies of the deceased in the Atlantic Ocean waters…

Memories to Josepha („Joe“) Patrick Kennedy Junior

The oldest son (of the total of 9 children), Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr. and Rose F. Kennedy, who was prepared by the ambitious father for the White House, ever since he was a small child, had a Libra Ascendant (25 July 1915, 09:40, Hull, Massachusetts), while his Venus (the ruler of his Ascendant) was at the fateful 18°Cancer! During World War II (1944) he got killed as a military pilot. After this tragedy, Joseph Patrick Kennedy Sr. (as a former USA Ambassador in the Great Britain) expected from his younger son, John F. Kennedy (“Jack”) to become everything that “Joe” could not – President of the USA! However, “Jack” did become the first US President who was a Catholic, plus being the youngest, however, we know how his life was ended… His younger brother, Senator Robert Kennedy (“Bobby”), was also assassinated couple of years later… There were some other tragic cases in this family…

Finally, Joseph Sr. and Rose in their Davison chart (joint horoscope) have their Chiron (wound, pain) at 18° Cancer, where the midpoint of Mercury (children, but also the ruler of 9 – grandchildren) and Pluto (death) is. Dispositor of 18° Cancer is the Moon in Aries, which is in applying opposition with Uranus (the ruler of 5 – children), which is almost at the degree of the Sun’s fall, at 19° Libra (18° Libra 56’), which is all a picture of sudden losses in the area of children…
