Vassarion (Sergey Anatolyevitch Torop – January 14, 1961)

Well, he certainly looks the part (according to our white Western misconceptions of how Jesus must have looked 2000 years ago). But is it true? Vassarion is a polarizing figure, to be sure.

This chart is randomized. As far as I know, no other astrologer or astrology site has even attempted to do his birth chart before. What strikes me as important is the inconjunct between Uranus and the Sun. (The other one between Uranus and the Midheaven may not be ‘real’, but you never know.)

Sun Inconjunct Uranus

There is a side of your personality that is very restless and impatient with rules, even when you know they are for your own good. You want very much to go your own way and do your own thing, even when you aren’t entirely sure that it is the right direction for you. So you rebel in subtle ways by having sudden fits of obstinacy and moods of feeling very contrary, especially to your parents or other authority figures.

Uranus Inconjunct Midheaven

You need to express your thoughts and feelings, but you often upset the people around you with your words. You seem to enjoy creating a stir every time you say something, but this can get you into quite a bit of trouble with parents, teachers and other authority figures. The underlying principle of this aspect is the need to balance your individual self-expression and manner of communicating with your need to learn and grow under the guidance of older people.

Certainly you will discover your own routes to what you want in life. Now you need to be given the confidence and encouragement to look for these routes on your own with total freedom.

But Is He the Reincarnation of Jesus?

That’s the question, isn’t it? The answer may be surprising.

Now, I don’t want to come across as a know-it-all: in fact, a healthy skepticism could serve our search for the truth better than most anything else, but looking at Vassarion’s birth chart alongside Jesus’ birth and death charts has yielded a couple of direct ‘hits’. For example: Vassarion’s Sun is (almost) exactly conjunct Jesus’ ‘fatal’ Neptune; and Vassarion’s Jupiter is within 4° of Jesus’ natal Sun. But the Moon’s Nodes don’t seem to line up, so my overall impression is a connection of some sort, but not an actual reincarnation.

But here’s the thing: Jesus’ natal Venus is (again almost) exactly conjunct Vassarion’s Mercury @ 29° Capricorn. Could Vassarion be Mary Magdalene’s brother, Lazarus, reborn? I’ve tried to make sense of this figure in other posts, but I keep running into the feeling that not enough is known about him. So the mystery remains.

“Once you were told, that The Kingdom of God is like yeast, which a woman put in three measures of dough, until it leavened.

This is the secret of the three Testaments, meant to bring the children of God to The Kingdom of Heaven: The Old Testament, The New Testament and The Last Testament.

These are respectively the secrets: Hope, Faith and Love.”

Hmm.
