Carolyn Jeanne Bessette (January 7, 1966) and JFK Jr.

This is a photo of their wedding day… Carolyn Bessette was young and in love when she married JFK Jr., like every other bride, I suspect. Little did she know (or did she?) that it would all end in tragedy.

That Jupiter Inconjunct Neptune makes me wonder…

Jupiter Inconjunct Neptune

You are an idealist with very vivid dreams about how you want your life to be, and at certain times in your life you will follow those dreams with all your energy. But sometimes these idealistic dreams will let you down, because you are not concerned enough with what is real and possible.

Probably you should not gamble or take excessive risks at any time in your life. Your dreams in this area also will go far beyond reality, and you will take chances that can’t possibly be realized.

By itself, this aspect does not guarantee that you will have such problems, but if it is reinforced by other, similar aspects in your chart, you should certainly be careful of a tendency toward escapism. It is always easier to create an ideal reality within your mind than in the world, but the world is where you must work. Escapism can include using drugs or alcohol or following strange and delusive religious beliefs. As you get older, you may fall into the trap of guru worship and deny your own reality.

Your idealism can be the source of much creative imagination, leading to profound insights and realizations, but only if you remain connected with the actual day-to-day universe in which the rest of the human race lives.

The Day They Died, a Light Went Out in the World

Since I looked at this accident from JFK Jr’s perspective previously, here, I thought it might be informative to add Carolyn to the mix.

Almost instantly, you can see that this relationship was karmic (her South Node is conjunct his natal Sun). And her Sun is conjunct his natal Saturn. Her Venus/Mars conjunct Ascendant is also conjunct the ‘fatal’ South Node/Uranus conjunction. And her Saturn is conjunct his natal South Node. Her Moon is midpoint between his natal Mars and their joint ‘fatal’ Sun. The ‘fatal’ Moon is midpoint between his natal North Node/Ascendant and her Uranus/Pluto conjunction. It all feels so fated.
