Ruth Ellis (October 9, 1926 – July 13, 1955)

In the back of my mind, I’m sure that I’d heard of this woman’s tragic story. The following YouTube video explains what happened:

I wondered what astrology could tell us about this woman and her actions on the day she shot her lover, David Blakely.

I suspect this birth time was chosen because it demonstrates the unconscious anger issues Ruth may have had. Mars in the 12th House, conjunct a Taurus Ascendant would be a sign of mental illness, especially when it is opposite the Moon and Saturn conjunct. Her parents set the pattern of conflict in her life, and the result brought her to that fateful day.

The Day She Shot Her Lover

Isn’t it funny(?) how the same dynamic between Mars, the Moon and Saturn gets repeated on the day.

When the two charts are combined, the reality of her life comes completely into focus:

See what I mean?

There are plenty of inconjuncts, but they count for less than the Mars/Moon/Saturn aspects.
