Like his wife Gerry McCann also has a Yod, only this time a boomerang one with Ceres at the reaction point! Ceres happens to be on the luckiest pair of stars out, Spica & Arcturus. I have seen Arcturus in the charts of men seem to get away with all sorts of misdemeanors. The type that get away with wife-battering because they are such ”Nice guys” to the police. Ceres here could also make him somewhat a Jackal and Hyde type character.
A Yod to Saturn has heavy parental responsibility, the big daddy. Having Ceres at the reaction point, mean the Ceres themes of separation, mourning and abduction are going to be driving this yod forward. All the tension building up and focused on the Saturn which is also in the 10th house so therefore the parental axis. He has Pluto conjunct his IC which means he could’ve inherited family traits to do with the abuse of power. His own home life looks to be disruptive emotionally with a massive 4th house also containing Ceres, Moon and Uranus. Even his Nodes run along this axis.
My feeling is that he may have been rather too heavy handed with Madeleine. Like his wife he also has strong Liliths and Pluto. Jupiter square Lilith and Sun square Pluto I wrote “The subjects personal life may remain a mystery, as they are experts at armour plating their true emotions. They don’ t let much slip and are can be extreme control freaks. The word anal was invented for these guys, for they rule over their domain with an iron will and a steel fist…. They can be intimidating and in extreme cases tyrannical. Sometimes the father can be experienced in this way.”
Gerry’s Moon conjunct Uranus will make him unpredictable emotionally, that electric Moon trines Lilith which will make him rather magnetic, sexually alluring and charming.
His Sun/Mars/Venus stellium is also gives yet more sexual magnetism. Venus on Alderbaran is powerful because it is one of the royal stars and lucky “Honor through literature, music or art, creative abilities, favorable for health and marriage.” [1] But Bernedette Brady warns having these Royal stars come with price. If you use abuse their powerthen you experience a great fall. He has two in his chart, the other being Regulus, the very one square child stealing Lilith. Jupiter on Regulus, Kate also has this “Fame, high preferment, especially of a military nature, success in the Church.” [2]
Sun conjunct Mars Jamie wrote “ They will always look after number one, yet they are great in an emergency, fast reactors and focused soldiers. Highly sexed, they enjoy the conquest…. Mars is pretty raw and untamed, so they tend to be brash and bold, but can be vulgar.”
His Mars is also conjunct two very passionate stars the female warrior Bellatrix “Strategic talents, ability to organize, discrimination. Reckless aggressiveness of a belligerent daredevil.” [3] , but closer to Hoedus II, which is associated with depravity.
But the most interesting aspect Gerry has in terms of this case is his Mars square Pluto. This aspect turns up again and again in cases of sexual abuse and violence, remember he already has Sun square Pluto. The state of his Mars is already hot, so I’d say this guy had a short fuse and could be violent. Everything in the chart says the same thing. Volatile emotions, highly sexed, aggressive, but such skill as a soldier. He’d have the bare faced cheek and courage to brazen things out.
His Pluto is powerfully angular and on Denebola, the lions tail. Robson didn’t know about Pluto, but I don’t think it would be too different from his Mars interp “Bitter, vindictive, cruel, unpopular, loss of position and public disgrace.” [4]
Skill with Mars is precisely what is needed to be a heart surgeon. So if he was channelling the above energies in his job we could say that they would manifest in the most positive way. Bravery in saving lives. The Mars/Aries archetype is predominantly about exceptional courage. Interesting that Mars rules surgery and Denebola in the Lion. Leo rules the heart. Ofcourse he also has Sun conjunct Mars too.

Transits from Madeleine’s disappearance to Gerry’s chart
Solar Eclipse opposite Moon
Pluto square Moon
Jupiter opposite Mars
Mars opposite Pluto IC, square Mars
Venus square Uranus
Moon sextile Moon, opposite Lilith
Lilith conjunct Ceres, opposite Saturn
So his Mars Pluto square you pointed out was activated at the time of Madeleine’s disappearance, by the transits of Mars and Jupiter.
Natal Moon was also heavily aspected with the opposition from the solar eclipse and square from transiting Pluto. On Pluto square Moon, Robert hand write “This transit dredges up past behavior patterns that may be quite inadequate for the present…Driven by compulsions and irrational drives, you may do things that you would not do if you were entirely clear about yourself”, Planets in Transit, p.492.
Lilith in transit, what does that mean, is there any truth in her reputation as “the baby killer”. Transiting Lilith on his Ceres. You mentioned his Ceres as the action point of the Yod. Boomerang Yods work with the energy of the sextile funneling down to his Saturn. That bounces back to Ceres for expression, the release valve of the considerable build up in tension that the quincunxes create.
His Ceres is on the Ceres star. Spica in constellation Virgo is the ear of Wheat.
“spicifera est Virgo Cereris” — “The Virgin with her sheaf belongs to Ceres”. Astronomica, Manilius, 1st century AD, p.117.
Spica gives “injustice to innocence.” Fixed Stars and Constellations in Astrology, Vivian E. Robson, 1923, p.211.
Ceres is the critical planet in this chart, action point of the Yod, Ceres on the Ceres star. Ceres is also on the fixed star Arcturus as you mentioned, also a fortunate star. But remember this is critically aspected being opposite Saturn. Elsbeth Ebertin wrote of Arcturus, “If critically aspected, the good influence will be hampered or made into a real handicap. If involved in legal action, such a native may lose all.” Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, 1928, p.63.
Gosh more Hades moon then. That Pluto square moon interp from Robert hand is quite, well I don’t know what to say about it. Stuns me. Especially when his moon is conjunct volatile uranus anyhow.
The common interp of this is also death of the mother or a close female. Sad.
I had an odd experience with Spica once Jamie…it was cj venus and right overhead and I was standing by the back door observing this and suddenly transformed…was holding a staff…like an old fashioned weaving stick…it felt really alive, really joyful…it seems to be a nice star..!
hi,
psychicly, i really dont think they killed madelaine, uranus and pluto in virgo ruler mercury -others,in the 4th home -, could be someone else,also saturn in gemini, opp, moon sag, depression about what others say and write,maybe his 4th house predisposed him into attracting similar chuldhood events ,that he had previously experienced.but i really dont think they are guilty.
anna
correction- i meant sun mars in gemini ,others-not saturn in gemini.
I looked at the chart of Tony Bennett, the man who structured the 163 questions. He’s a dubious character – see the main blog – and I wonder if what is under discussion in Gerry’s chart means he is on the recieving end of such nastiness rather than the perpetrator?
Saturn at the Yod apex.
Jamie…I was thinking about Yods today and realised that in very traditional terms one planet is on 6th house of victim planet and the other on 8th house….that is malefic… enemies and life threateningness..(if malefics). The signs ( houses) these planets rule must be so significant….
yeah -saturn yod apex ,-saturn aries ,ruling mars -gemini /pluto,- virgo -mercury,-virgo uranus -others ,-pluto square gemini sun- feeling anialated by others and their murderous comunications and actions.gemini 11th house -others- 4th house virgo mercury -others.
saturn ruling 6th house of service ,and health,doctor,where he helps others,saturn aries ,ist house ,depression about how others projections and false expressions and lack of service to his real good nature ,have deeply wounded him.
admittedly ,he does resemble -ian huntly- where butter wouldnt melt ,but any way ,pychically, i dont think the mc gans, are guilty.ill have to look up where chiron is.
all the virgo gemini aspects ,-not understanding clearly.-so i repeat, i raelly dont think they are guilty of killing their daughter.
I don’t think they murdered Madeleine either. But that doesn’t stop me from thinking he’s not a very nice person.
in my experience, stelliums in Gemini can be very tricky indeed. Look to the illustration of the sign. Twins, with lyre in their midst. A lovely lyrical instrument. But one twin holds a bow and arrow to its side, the other a club. So there we have it, the dulcit sounds of the lyre masking a couple of villains. The trickster.
Peter Sutcliffe, aka The Yorkshire Ripper is a Gemini. He was also finally arrested just under the window of my old school artroom. Other than tha I have no connection to him! Although I bet there’s someone out there on the internet who can create one!
Its worth a look at his chart – Astrotheme – Sun/Merc/Uranus in Gemini, Venus/Saturn/Moon in Cancer, PLuto/Mars in Leo with Ceres opp, Neptune/Jupiter in Libra. He has black lilith in Scorpio just behind the ascendant.
reminds me of an ex…. aaaaggghhhhhh!!!
It strikes me that while there is a bunch of planets in Aries now, they traverse my 8th house. And here I am doing a thorough criminal investigation!
eeeuuuwww… just looked at the chart of Myra Hindley and see it has a Gemini stellium.
/www.astrotheme.com/portraits/4Qng4L5Nc64p.htm
Both she and Sutcliffe are birthpath 1.
I think Gerry M has a saving grace in his Virgo moon which can be very self regulating and self referential. I agree he’s probably not very nice at all – superficial and shallow on the outside but then like Sutcliffe he has the presence of Cancer. The two elements of Cancer and Gemini are the weirdest of bedfellows. I think Gerry’s Gemin stuff is more channelled into his work as a Cardiologist. Likewise its not a job for the faint hearted… pun intended!
Obviously not all multiple Geminis are killers.
I have a nine year old niece with Mercury/Saturn/True node/Mars/Venus/Moon in Gemini all opposed by Pluto.
Last year for her was mostly taken up by the drama of her father’s ex wife of 20 years ago waging a war against him in the way of the most evil iies imaginable. This woman had a very dubious past which included a daughter fathered by her own brother… she coached that daughter now aged 28 to file an allegation of child rape against my brother in law. This came out of the blue although this woman waged a war of revenge against him for leaving her in other ways and caused his bankruptcy.
My niece also has Uranus square the sun.
Her whole chart was challenged like an earthquake when Uranus squared her moon and was conjunct her real Lilith and PLuto. I cannot begin to tell you of the effects of such wickedness on my sister, her kids and the rest of the family.
The allegations were initially dealt with by a young zealot rookie police woman who was hell bent on catching a child rapist. The more experienced police recognised a pack of lies. Analysis of statements etc was very crucial plus there was no evidence after 20 odd years etc
So was this child’s PLuto opposition to her Gemini stellium exorcised here while Uranus shook it all up or is she going to turn “killer”… as her aunt I watch closely. My hunch is that as a Sun in Taurus, and Leo asc she is more likely to turn sales person.
She was definitely on the receiving end of the worst of Gemini and I wonder when the shadow of Gemini is not integrated that the native becomes the recipient of mischief.
funny that -
i think he is a very nice man ,having had some experience of psychopaths ,while working in a nut house.
in view of the terrible things that have happened to them,dont you think its a bit inhumane to have a go at them.you agree you dont think they murdered madelaine,give them a break.
I have encountered one psychopath who ended up having to be restrained by 8 police before he was carted off for incarceration… He cetainly couldn’t have held down a career as a cardiologist. But he certainly could have told lies about one!
When Rob was pionting to Capricorn as probable perpetrator he may have been edging in the righr direction. Gerry was under Saturn major phase and Mercury sub phase when it happened. That is a double whammy on Taurus ( or scorpio ) Saturn rules the 8th of Gemini…meaning 8th of venus and mars…and mercury rules Gemini..second or 8th of Taurus Scorpio. To my experience that if that was happening in Madeleine’s chart she would be dead. As it is in Gerry’s…it may mean same. It is a classic tragic combination…one for the ascendant, one for the ascendant ruler. And he entered that phase just a couple of days before it happened.
Dont forget 8th house is death and sex. So back to paedophilia… And its also healing somewhere between the two. Aren’t 8th house planets suitable for a doctor bieng in the house of Scorpio??
Pluto cj his IC….placidus IC and MC are important points…just about as good as planets…and can indicate the parents..but I haven’t found Placidus good for house division.
Going back to Ceres, central to this thread, she is described as the goddess of growing plants and represented by a sheath of wheat and is largely understood through her Roman interpretations. But going back to earlier symbols, Osiris is shown with wheat growing from his chest – Mummy’s wheat symbolises the regrowth in death.
We are not plants and growth for us is more complex and painful. Consider Ceres allows Prosperina/Persephone to marry Hades… only by way of a deal because she knows it won’t happen otherwise.
As the ruler of Virgo she is the unattached woman, not owned by any man. Mythically she has to marry her dark side to be whole . How else can she be whole and unattached if she forever projects her animus? Christianity perverted the idea of Virgin. The dark mother is ever prevalent in motherhood – check out post natal depression, common to most after birth in varying degrees. And check out what happens in extreme PND.
It seems to me the entire birth process is sanitized in the modern sense. Poor Kate McCann, as a doctor, going through IVF to get Madeleine may have had to face some dark feelings and in her diary she notes thoghts that someties she wished she didn’t have Madeleine.
I don’t remember the exact stats but a lot of women who conceive through IVF choose to abort rather than go through. Its as if all they want is confirmation of fertility (usefulness? Potency??)
Are we honest enough as women about our deepest contradictions of motherhood? after all its a biological calling first which calls on an instinctual pattern to kick in and that interferes with intellectual aspirations.
I din’t see Kate as a murderer but as an unconscious flag bearer for some things moedern women might want to ignore. After all, how many working mothers are happy to leave their kids with virtual strangers to earn enough for clothes, material trappings etc and con themselves their careers are important? (some are, many are not.)
Ceres is now diluted further as the protectress of the environment! How nebulous is that!!!
But she will have her chthonic ways. Her symbol is not the scythe for nothing.
As far as I can see, Kate’s Ceres is largely unaspected – perhaps a quincunx to Saturn in Aries – her dedicated hard working career versus the dark mother who will cut down everything to force the marriage to hell.
the ‘season’ of virgo is impending death, fall, collections from the sun, harvest, when we first experience shortening days, increasing nights, earth entering into darkness. earth’s 2 sides; life/death and the equinoxes.
Doctors see pregnancy as a medical condition, intelligent people escape the toxic atmosphere early, go home to normal. A dr. Mom might not have normal,hers is everything clinical, analyzed, medicated controled. If she has AquariusAC, pisces snd house, (taurus moon) she is a controler.
another thought is the medical procedure of abortion, invasive, graphic, wounding, cathartic. is somehow similar to invitro. abortion ends life, the womb is invaded reached into,here kate doesn’t get the freedom she may have equated w/ a similiar, (maybe earlier) invasion, instead she took ‘home’ life, a demanding infant,and with her the control of the hospital, perscriptions, so she might free herself.
VN writing BTW queen.
Yes I got caught in the trusting the medical profession more than my body and ended up having a Caesar. I was so determined to have a waterbirth in my birthplan (Birth PLAN, lol), I do yoga and should’ve been able to push her out no problem. But I panicked with such painful contractions, had an epidural and it went downhill from there.
Ceres has been taken away from us, our internal midwife. I love what you wrote here, SO true.
Following on from that I do agree with Uber with this sentence:
“I didn’t see Kate as a murderer but as an unconscious flag bearer for some things modern women might want to ignore.”
I think I would say her Ceres IS unaspected. Which would actually make a lot of sense since Gerrys Ceres is SO integral to his chart. Unaspected Ceres is going to make it a wild card and working very purely. From all my research so far. Ceres is so NOT this simple grain goddess, apple pie baking mommy. She was discovered in 1801 but has totally been underrated in favour of yet another God, Chiron.
