Sathya Sai Baba (November 23, 1926 – April 24, 2011)

Yesterday, when I wrote about his miraculous blending of two images (one of which was the Shroud of Turin), I hadn’t realized that it was the 12th anniversary of Sai Baba‘s death. How’s that for synchronicity?

I suspect that his birth chart is timed for sunrise, and yet, that Saturn conjunction to the Sun, Venus and the Ascendant @ 29° Scorpio is very auspicious. There are two inconjuncts unrelated to a correct birth time.

Mercury Inconjunct Mars

You often find it difficult to separate yourself from what you believe. You fight very hard for your ideas, even when you suspect you are wrong. You must learn that you are not your ideas, that you have them but are not them. If you do not learn this, it will be difficult even to have a friendly talk with friends, because you are always trying to make a point, defend your opinion or prove somebody else wrong. This also makes you irritable and touchy, so that others prefer not to be around you. Of course, you should not give in about something you serious believe in, but it is unlikely that you would make that mistake.

Uranus Inconjunct Neptune (1893-1896 and 1924-1927)

This aspect indicates a generation that had mixed feelings about its ideals and how to implement them. They often felt very confused about their ideals, and when they found that their ideals failed because they were badly formulated, this group became disillusioned. Sates of consciousness beyond the ordinary are very confusing to them, and they prefer not to get involved with such matters.

(Sounds contradictory, doesn’t it?)
