Annie Besant (October 1, 1847 – September 20, 1933)

This person is the third part of the Theosophical Society Trinity. You might call Annie Besant the Holy Spirit of the group. Madame Blavatsky is the Father, and Henry Olcott is the Son. In terms of a life path, no doubt the loss of her father when she was 5 years old, and her mother shipping her off to relatives didn’t help, but somehow she turned out all right in the end.

My point is that the T-squares in her birth chart point to a Moon/Jupiter conjunction which would have occurred about the age of 5. So, this looks to be a correct timing of her birth. There are two inconjuncts.

Sun Inconjunct Saturn

You will have to learn the difference between having self-control and discipline, on the one hand, and totally denying yourself any self-expression, on the other. This aspect can mean that you feel extremely unworthy, which undermines your self-confidence and makes it hard to face obstacles in life with confidence and determination.

Sometimes you may be afraid to get the freedom to do what you want, for the rigid structure and rules that you are forced to live under seem to give you a feeling of security. At the same time, part of you does want to be free.

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.

If you can learn to control this aspect, you will be able to spend a long time on mental work, as long as you are interested in what you are doing. But you will have to learn when to stop. You may work too hard or get too wrapped up in some idea that you are studying and not be able to relax. Get in the habit of taking a break before you get too overtired.

Besant also became involved in politics in India, joining the Indian National Congress. When World War I broke out in 1914, she helped launch the Home Rule League to campaign for democracy in India, and dominion status within the British Empire. This led to her election as president of the Indian National Congress, in late 1917. In the late 1920s, Besant travelled to the United States with her protégé and adopted son Jiddu Krishnamurti, who she claimed was the new Messiah and incarnation of Buddha. Krishnamurti rejected these claims in 1929. After the war, she continued to campaign for Indian independence and for the causes of theosophy, until her death in 1933.

Enough said?

Her death chart is set for noon, local time, so only two of the resulting inconjuncts are ‘real’: Sun inconjunct Uranus and Saturn inconjunct Neptune. That means that her natal Sun/Saturn inconjunct has now split into two different aspects, demonstrating that she has moved on in her spiritual life.

Now This Is Where My Ideas have Become Paper-Thin

Imagine if you will the idea that a person comes back in the form of someone totally unlike their previous life, but similar enough looking to warrant further inspection. Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy may actually be Annie Besant reincarnated. (The last names are a clue, really.)

At first glance, there seems very little to support the idea of reincarnation between these two individuals. But I want you to consider this: Carolyn’s Venus/Mars/Ascendant conjunction is conjunct Anne’s ‘fatal’ Saturn, while Carolyn’s Moon in Cancer is halfway between Annie’s ‘fatal’ Pluto and natal Jupiter. Carolyn’s Sun in Capricorn is opposite Anne’s natal Moon, also in Cancer. Finally, Carolyn’s Venus is conjunct Annie’s ‘fatal’ Part of Fortune and her natal Midheaven. But is it enough?

Amen.
