Death of Pope John Paul I

[Jim Eshelman]

Has anyone wondered whatever really happened to Pope John Paul I? Does anybody even think of it anymore?

He appeared and vanished so quickly - and, more to the point, so silently - that many people may have missed the first pope to be named after two Beatles. I have always assumed that either he was murdered, or there was some horrible scandal around him. Can astrology help us out?

If anyone wants to check his natal chart, he was born October 17, 1912, Canale D'Agordo, Italy, allegedly at 11:30 AM, though the time is unsubstantiated. (Noel Tyl said that he got it from a colleague in Italy.) He served as pope about a month, from August 26, 1978, until his sudden death September 28, 1978, probably around 11:00 PM, in the Vatican.

Year: Capsolar
Pluto sq. MC (1°18')
Moon on Dsc (4°21')
-- Moon-Pluto op. (0°03' in mundo)
Venus on IC (5°04')
Sun on IC (6°50')
-- Sun-Venus conj. (1°45')
-- Ve/Pl (0°28')
-- Mo/Ve (0°21')
(Remember, one pope has already died that year. This is the chart of a year in which two had died and two successors had been chosen.)

t. Neptune conj. Cansolar Moon 7/17-10/24
CanQ Moon sq. p./s. Mars 9/20-11/13
EVENT WINDOW (Mars-Neptune-Pluto): September 20 to October 24
(This planet trio is enough to fuel any murder/conspiracy theory we could contact.)

Quarter: Cansolar (Dormant.) Moon-Neptune conj. (0°34')

Quarter: Arisolar
Moon-Pluto (0°25')
Mars sq. Asc (1°07')
Sun on Dsc (5°42')
-- Sun-Mars sq. (0°13')
(This does begin to look like a homicide map, especially with the Cansolar's Moon-Neptune added; but this is only one possibility.)

Month: Caplunar (Dormant.) Moon-Mars sq. (0°48')
(Dormant though this is, the Moon-Mars aspect is a sign of violence.)

Week: Canlunar
Mercury on Asc (0°26')
Sun on Asc (3°33')

p. Moon sq. p. Mars (0°48'), s. Mars (0°20')
------------------------------------------
t. Neptune conj. s. Moon (0°25')
(These are indications totally consistent with classic Vatican conspiracy poisoning!)
