The Globe Theatre Burns Down (June 29, 1613)

We know from subsequent history that after this event happened, William Shakespeare retired to Stratford to live his life in quiet solitude until he died suddenly three years later. So, this event is significant to his life’s story.

By now, we are used to looking for the reasons for some events. In this case, I would suggest that the Mars/Midheaven conjunction indicates an accident. The several conjunctions between other planets also seem to suggest that it was a timely event, intending to bring to an end Shakespeare’s prolific work ethic. There are three inconjuncts, two of which point to that Mars/Midheaven conjunction from the planet Saturn, and one connecting the Moon and the Scorpio Ascendant. In other words, the timing has to be exact for all these inconjuncts to happen at the same time, or else there’s only Mars inconjunct Saturn. All is True.

When the Globe event chart is compared to Shakespeare’s birth chart, two indicators appear: Shakespeare’s natal Saturn is conjunct the Globe’s Part of Fortune, and Shakespeare’s natal Jupiter is conjunct the Globe’s Mars. Yes, this was the Universe’s way of saying to Shakespeare to hang up his quilled pen for good.

Hmm.
