From wounds to the glory: Eurovision 2016 from an astrologer’s view.

I like Eurovision, an occasion that I can hear different songs from different talented singers and this event give us a chance to see different countries present their cultures and creativities. Be an astrologer I like the relation between the position of transiting Jupiter on the Gran final contest chart. Not only Jupiter represent social develop, party , joy and glory, Jupiter is also a symbol of pop culture and media , how we see the world.

Jupiter sing and Winner songs

I started to notice these when the Finish  hard rock and heavy metal Group Lordi won in 2006,  they are famous about  wearing monster masks and using horror elements , the moment they won Jupiter was on Scorpio, a sign related to horror .

Next year Serbia singer Marija Šerifovic won the contest with a song call Molitva , what does that mean ? “ Prayer “ Where to find a sing better then Sagittarius link with this song?  Jupiter was in Sagittarius in 12 May 2007. When Russia won in 2008 Jupiter was in Capricorn .. no need to say that year was disaster of Eurovision, people were arguing about political vote.

Most amazing relation between chart and winner is 2014 when drag singer Conchita Wurst won the contest, Jupiter in Cancer Exaltation and what is winning song ? “ Rise Like a Phoenix “ and what doest ” Exaltaiton ” mean ? Rise to highest position

The opening of 2014 Contest have Saturn opposite Sun , Venus in Aries opposite Mars in Libra with “ Mutual reception “  was very close to MC/IC axis by the time they announce the winner, could this mutual reception represent a beard lady or long hair Male in a dress?   And last year Sweden won the contest with song call “ Heroes” I don’t need to remind you that Jupiter was in Leo last year (May 2015).

As Jupiter in Virgo , I was waiting for a girly or earthy song to win. It could be “ Money money money” or “ Like a virgin “ before the contest started, but I did not get that much Virgo flavour during this contest, part from much of  the participate were stood on the stage sang their song alone without dancer, fire or guinea pig wheel. However this is the best musical performance I ever seen , they were all great. Maybe this refer to hard working training of Virgo character. I have difficult to relate the winning song 1944 to Jupiter in Virgo . I almost gave up but next day I ask myself , why 1944 ?

1944 Deportation of the Crimean Tatars

Ukraine singer Jamala won the 2016 Eurovision song contest with a song name 1944, I then read the story about this song and realised there are big argument about this song as Russia is not happy with the story behind this Song “Deportation of the Crimean Tatars “ . Use her voice Jamala told us the story about what’s   happen between 18-20 May 1944. It is a collective punishment ordered by Stalin for the Crimean Tatars collaboration with the Nazi occupation regime in Taurida Subdistrict during 1942–1943. During this period 200,000 crimean has been remove from their homeland and cause more than 100,000 deportees die in starvation or disease as a direct result of deportation.

Here is Lyrics

When strangers are coming…

They come to your house,

They kill you all

and say,

We’re not guilty

not guilty.

We could build a future

Where people are free

to live and love.

The happiest time.

Where is your heart?

Humanity rise.

You think you are gods

But everyone dies.

“Yaşlığıma toyalmadım, ooh

Men bu yerde yaşalmadım

Yaşlığıma toyalmadım

Men bu yerde yaşalmadım

“I couldn’t get enough of my youth

I couldn’t grow old here

I couldn’t get enough of my motherland”.

  • 1944 Jamala

Saros cycle, the reason 1944 link with 2016

Does this mean much virgo for you ? Not for me , so far.

Let us back to Astrology what’s the relation between today and 1944 ? It is 72 years away , this directly leading us to thing about Nadal cycles ,yes both 1944 and 2016 are belong to same  Saros cycle, according Dr Bernadette Brady this is S.S 18 south , as an Mundane astrologerI am not a surprise the story of Deportation of the Crimean Tatars has been jump on the important musical event this year if both year belong to same Saros cycle. Usually events will have new develops when same saros cycles’ Eclipse happen again.   

The character of this Eclipse family are ending or separation however the pain of the separation leading to a positive outcomes. What a beautiful description, and it does fit in Jamala’s story.

Here is the chart of Deportation of Crimean Tatars , I use Sun rise chart as event happen form the early morning. We have Saturn square Neptune (Same as now ) we have Uranus sextile Pluto (We have Uranus Square pluto ) Uranus in Gemini square Chiron in Virgo Mars conjunct Node.

That year Solar Eclipse was occurred 25th Jan 1944 if we draw a chart form Sevastopol we will see the Sun Moon conjunct in 4 Aquarius and opposite Pluto in 6 Leo, Pluto conjunct south Node and Ascendent, Mars in 6 degree Gemini conjunct Uranus, Saturn in 20 Gemini square Chiron in Virgo.

Now if we make a bi wheel between Eurovision final and Deportation on 1944 , you will surprise find out Venus is back to same position , Eurovision Mars is opposite 1944 Uranus (opposite 1944 Eclipse Mars) , 2016 Eurovision Moon Jupiter conjunct on Virgo on 1944’s Chiron (the wounded healer).  When the winner announced Moon move to 8 degree Virgo, tight conjunct with 1944 Chiron.      Jamala told us part of this song is … is a Crimean Tatar folk song she heard form her great grandmother , Moon , Jupiter , Chiron Virgo … planets combination fit into this sad story.

Finally if we check the astromap form 1944 deportation we will see the Sun As line and Mercury As Venus  line were near Stockholm, two events were 72 years apart, a tragic event and a music festival were link by Eclipse Cycles and Astromap for the both Event.

Yesterday’s wounds today’s glory from Chiron I/C to Jupiter near MC 

Maybe I am still not get how to link this year winner’s song  to Jupiter Virgo but when I watch again Jamala’s performing I saw that beautiful flower pattern grow to a tree while she was sining , is that Chiron on the IC ? Is that Jupiter Moon on the MC of event chart ? Yesterday’s wound could be heal by today’s glory?

I don’t know argument of song 1944 before I watch the Song contest, however this song  is really touching , Jamala’s voice is deep and healing, people talk about her accusation of 1944, yes it sounds like accusation if you take Russia’s view however if you step in to crimean Tartars shoes, we are witness a tragic event we share their pain and help to heal this wound by recognise their sorrow. I’d rather say it is a requiem for 1944 of a requiem for people who lost homeland, for people who lost family, who been killed or torture during Genocide, it is very healing … I wasn’t listen the lyrics first time  but with her voice I had already tears in my eyes. Her magnetic voice drag people to listen with heart , her body move like a witch healing everyone in a shamanic way . The feeling is so powerful for me. She heard the story from her family she witness their sorrow, I wish by singing their sorrow her music and glory can maybe heal these collective wounds , maybe this time detriment Jupiter Virgo try to show Us not only he can be joyous but he know how to heal too.

2. My colleague Marcos Patchett suggest  ” Virgo is a loud-voiced, humane, feminine sign of the virgin, where Jupiter is in detriment so might indicate dissolution of Jupiter things – faith, national identity, freedom. Also, Jupiter squaring Saturn, but receiving Saturn’s hostile impositions & overcoming them – “you think you are gods, but everyone dies” & the “future where people are free”.Thank you Marcos .
