Paul Walker (September 12, 1973 – November 30, 2013)

Do you think James Dean and Paul Walker are connected? Besides them both dying in a Porsche, that is.

Let’s look at Paul, first:

The timing is supposedly from Paul’s birth records. I’m not entirely sure that it’s right, but the Yod (Finger of God) and a lone inconjunct are not dependent on a correct birth time.

Moon Inconjunct Uranus

With this aspect you must learn to control sudden outbursts of emotion that occur at difficult times when you least expect it. Also your present home life may not be a stable situation in which you can grow up emotionally secure and confident. A particular incident when you were very young may have given you the feeling that you can’t count on anything or anyone for support. Later in life, you may try very hard to get away from anything that reminds you of your earliest childhood, even if your childhood has not been difficult. You just feel that you have to get away and go somewhere else.

Jupiter Inconjunct Saturn

This aspect may signify great restlessness and unease, so that it is difficult for you to achieve a state of balance or feel calm and at ease. Often you have contradictory impulses; you want to plunge ahead into some relatively risky activity, but you are held back by feelings of caution or inhibition. It is often difficult to decide whether you want to act on your own or in a situation that is very structured and regulated. If your situation is too structured, you will feel closed in and repressed; you will want to break free and go off by yourself and do things your way. But when you get that freedom, you feel rather lost and at loose ends, and you find it difficult to set your own pace.

You may have mixed feelings about authority as well. On one hand you respect and admire your parents, teachers and other adults who guide your growth, but at the same time you resist their teachings. At times you resent these people very much, because they seem to limit you so.

Saturn Inconjunct Neptune

This aspect is strongest when either of these planets is also conjunct or opposition the Ascendant or Midheaven. It can have a variety of effects, one of which may be difficulty in relating fantasy and imagination, on one hand, to reality, duty, obligation and work, on the other. Usually the reality, duty and work aspect of the combination is dominant, at least at first. Your imaginative side tends to be transformed into nervousness, fear and irrational anxieties. The most negative manifestation of this aspect is a feeling that you have to keep a tight lid on yourself and that if you look inside yourself too closely, you will find only emptiness and disintegration. It is difficult for you to realize that this is not the truth about your inner self.

Does this not sound like James Dean? And yet, these inconjuncts are not the same ones he has in his birth chart. Hmm.

The Accident

The news reports said he left a meeting @ 3:30 pm. So I went with that time for the event chart, since it was the last time anyone saw Paul alive.

There is one inconjunct, which was also in his birth chart: Moon Inconjunct Uranus. Interesting. But I want you to look at this image and compare it to Dean’s crash photo…

There are visual echoes here. So, I decided to put their birth and death charts together in one image.

That’s a pretty impressive set of aspects between them. So, in a word, I think Paul is the reincarnation of James, and the only difference is that James Dean died behind the wheel, and Paul Walker was a passenger. Imagine how that would play out for their joint soul in their life reviews. Yes, that’s both sides of the equation: the Driver and the Driven. Rest in Peace, fellas.
