Diana

Princess Diana

Was her tragic death her destiny?

If astrology (or any discipline) can foretell a sudden tragedy does that mean that there are no true accidents in life but only predestined eruptions? And if life is a journey with a plan then perhaps there is a reason for everything. By exploring the astrology chart of Diana Spencer maybe we can come to understand this provocative question a little more.

Diana was born July 1, 1961. She is a typical mother Cancer with a Sagittarius Rising suggesting her basic outlook in life is honest, outgoing and independent with the Moon in Aquarius, an emotional need to reach out to people of all walks of life in a Cancerian nurturing way. She has the savior, saint Neptune in her 10th house of careers and a major t-square aspect to Venus, the planet of love and beauty. And this powerful Venus rules her 10th house of careers from the 5th house of children. These configurations had certainly played out in her great need to not only be a savior of children with all her many charities but also taking as serious her role as a mother.


But Diana was born with Uranus, Mars, Pluto and the North Node in the 8th house of death and transformation. Shocking and unpredictable Uranus in the 8th can manifest as sudden to an unusual death. The North Node is a point of where your destiny is headed. Before her death that probably meant how she was destined to transform the world in some small way. Mars is the planet of anger, fighting and accidents. Before her untimely end this played out with the rage that couldn’t be totally expressed in her marriage that manifested in her beating up her own body with the falls and the bulimia. Pluto is the planet of death and transformation sitting in the 8th house of the same. Mars is also very close to Pluto which in the positive is about being driven in her crusades to transform the world but in the negative, as written in any astrological textbook, is the marker of a violent death from accidents to murder. And many Europeans that I spoke with on my recent trip to London after the funeral are convinced that she was assassinated along with Dodi with the reasoning that a Moslem and an Egyptian could never be the stepfather of the future King of England. It seems far fetched to me but it wouldn’t be totally out of reality with her astrology chart.


Within 24 hours of a solar eclipse at 9 degrees of Virgo Diana was gone. Her Mars’s is at 1 degree of Virgo and the Pluto is at 6 degrees, and so, the violent predictor of Mars Pluto in the house of death, erupted when the eclipse triggered her blueprint of a sudden and violent ending. The difficulties of predicting such a tragedy is which planetary aspect is going to trigger the event. But one thing is for sure, a powerful eclipse cannot cause anything to happen that isn’t programmed in one’s horoscope. Also, there are many people born the same few days that Diana’s was born with the same rising sign which places those same difficult planets in the 8th house. And all these people around the world did not die. Therefore, ;predicting the exact time of death is nearly impossible, in most cases, but it was pretty obvious that death would be part of her legacy. Don’t forget that Diana was a champion for those with terminal diseases and for the world elimination of deadly land mines. Perhaps death for her was not written in granite but her intense drive to help the suffering of those dying in the world was certainly the crusade that she had taken on. Therefore, with her chart and how she was directed, and with the knowledge that energy can not be destroyed, I am sure that her crusade for charity will indeed live on and help transform us all for the better. Why do you think Ted Turner is giving the billion dollars to the United Nations charities?
