As I was thinking about the recent events in France
and Belgium, and the fanatical groups
(ISIS and al-Qaeda) recruitment of women,
I began to wonder what kind of young woman would join such a group and be drawn
to the horrific activities promoted by these killers and fanatics--monsters, actually.
What exactly would be in a woman's chart that would cause her to turn in this
direction? I decided to take a look at the chart of Hayat Boueddiene who was
connected with the recent terrorist attacks in France.
Hayat
Boumeddiene, born June 26, 1988 (no time) at Villiers-sur-Marne,
France, and she is the lone female terrorist who escaped police after the
slaughter at a French market connected with the Charlie Hebdo killings. According to news reports she was the accomplice
of Amedy Coulibaly, who held hostage and murdered four Parisians at the kosher
market after the attack on Charlie Hedbo and is believed to have escaped into
Syria via Turkey.
Boumeddiene is a 4 degree Cancer Sun with Neptune opposing her Sun. These individuals often
are born with a desire to do or be something special and out of the ordinary.
Generally the early childhood is a source of trouble. The father may have been
missing or distant, or goals, boundaries
and direction not clearly defined during the formative period.
According to Wikipedia, Boumeddiene was born into an Algerian family of
seven children, in the eastern suburbs of Paris. Her (devout) mother died when
she was 6, and subsequently
she, and some of her siblings, were taken into foster care. Her father was an
infrequent visitor, even more so after re-marrying. She moved often between
foster homes because she proved troublesome and violent, according to reports.
An investigative source said she altered her surname in her teenage years to
"make it sound more French." (Wikipedia) So apparently, even in her
early years, she was striving to be more glamorous and clearly felt that she
did not fit into French society, nor did she have a stable home life.
She is
alleged to have been married to Amedy Coulibaly, who
was killed in the raid on the Kosher market in Paris after the attack at
Charlie Hedbo magizine. According to Wikipedia
she met him in 2009 while working in Southern France as a cashier, and they
married in a religious ceremony not recognized by France that year. She began covering herself in a niqab, a piece of cloth that veils the wearer
from head to toe, including a veil over the face.
For refusing to appear at work in regular clothing she lost her job.
Typical of a person with this transit (Sun-Neptune) is a
gravitation toward the wrong people in life, and in the case of a woman, she
often gravitates toward the wrong men, impossible types, or those who lie and
take advantage of her for their own ends.
They can be led astray easily as their values are not
defined, and they can be attracted to Neptunian types of people and behaviors
such as drugs, alcohol, affairs, over
the top religious or other influences, liars and con-men, those with unrealizable
dreams, or who are psychologically disturbed.
Neptune rules religion and Neptune-Sun an attachment to
something that promises recognition and a place of importance and this would
drive Boumeddiene. By playing a role
(helping Coulibaly) in the murder of
Paris innocents in the name of religion would be a motivating factor to her and
she would have conceived this as a way to become a person to be reckoned with
and remembered.
In reality, these individuals can be quite sensitive and
easily hurt and their early childhood experiences may contribute to this as
well. Their egos are weak, often as a result of not feeling significant in the
early life.
In certain cases these individuals are totally deluded,
but otherwise they are driven to find a way to glamorize their role in the
world, thus overcoming a weak ego and satisfying their greatest desire to
become someone special the world will recognize. (Edward Snowden has a Sun
opposing Neptune)
A report by
a psychiatric expert prepared for a Parisian court found her partner, Amedy Coulibaly had an "immature and psychopathic personality" and
"poor powers of introspection." (Wikipedia)
It is clear as a result of her change in appearance and
dress that Coulibaly
exerted a great influence over her after they met in 2009, and she became a
convert to extremist religious viewpoints after their meeting.
Coulibaly
met Chérif Kouachi
( a known terrorist) in prison,
while serving his sentence for a 2005 armed robbery, and is believed to have
converted to radical Islam at the same time as Chérif (Wikipedia).
Coulibaly was born in a notorious housing
project Feb 27, 1982, the one boy among 9 sisters. He was an 8 degree Pisces
with Pluto, Saturn and Mars in a stellium of Libra planets in his 8th house
from 18-26 degrees opposing his Moon in Aries.
This transit
could be characterized as a controlling, obsessive, explosive, depressive,
insecure and determined personality, driven by emotions and compulsions. His
relationships with women would be difficult, stormy, angry and controlling, and
the problems would have begun with his early relationships with his primary
caretakers at home. These same traits
would have carried over into his relationship with Hayat and it appears, even
at the time of their unrecognized marriage, there were major difficulties
between the two.
This
stellium of planets would show many emotional problems and difficulties in life,
a person easily angered with many upsets. As the eighth house rules death,
Pluto, Mars and Saturn here is the classic transit that would show death in a
gun battle. He died in a shootout with police January 9.
By 1999 Coulibaly had done long spells of
prison time, with six separate convictions for robbery, armed robbery and drug
trafficking and another on terrorism-related charges.
Venus in his
eleventh house is square Pluto, Saturn and Mars and this would show insecurity, possessiveness,
obsessiveness, and difficult romantic relationships with the opposite sex.
His Venus
however, sextiled Hayat's Mars showing an attraction between the two. Her Moon
is Scorpio was conjunct his Jupiter and trine his Sun showing a degree of
compatibility and an emotional connection. Her Venus and Mercury at 15-18
degrees of Gemini would sextile his Moon, and trine his Libra stellium also
showing compatibility. None of this
however, would overcome his personality disorders, possessiveness and violent tendencies. Based on published information about his
life, he was forever moving toward the
destiny his 8th house held-a violent death in a hail of gunfire and Hayat would
be at his side.
Going back Boumeddiene's chart, Saturn is conjunct Uranus in her sixth house
of work and service from her Sun. Saturn/Uranus shows a rebellious personality
who finds it hard to accept any authority except their own, and there is a constant battle going
on within an individual with this transit, between the world - all of its laws
and limitations, and what it would ideally be for them.
Coulibaly also had a Sun square Uranus making him a rebel and giving him
a dislike of authority figures that drew them together. This is a person that
might consider himself, or herself an agent of change.
Hayat's Jupiter falls at 25.04 degrees of Taurus placing it in an almost
exact conjunction with the fixed star Algoal. Algoal is associated with the figure Medusa. "It causes
misfortune, violence, decapitation, hanging, electrocution and mob violence,
and gives a dogged and violent nature that causes death to the native or
others. It is the most evil star in the heavens." (Robson)
Astrologer Marina Macario wrote, "Algol rules heads of states and beheading, it rules treason and replacing
one idealogy with another. The head contains the brain so it’s about wisdom and
of course snakes in the hair represent higher knowledge, even antennae also.
Even the product of Medusa, Pegasus signifies far out ideas way ahead of their
time. I think Algol is also about information that blows your mind. This is
where Algol becomes horrific, when our intelligence evolves quicker than our
consciousness." Algoal
conjunct Jupiter has been associated with the ability to find spiritual meaning in hardships and tragedies, thus giving these
natives a measure of satisfaction.
Hayat's Moon falls in Scorpio in the 5th house of
children and love affairs and is conjunct Pluto at 9 degrees Scorpio. Scorpio
is the sign that is not afraid to wade into deep and turbulent waters. As it is
conjunct Pluto this gives her an intense, jealous and obsessive quality. Pluto
in Scorpio lies in her 5th house of children, yet Scorpio Pluto deals with the
8th house of death and transformation. She is a driven individual who would not
give up, and this is the sign and Planet (Pluto-Scorpio) associated with
revenge.
Her Venus and Mercury are conjunct at 15-18 degrees of
Gemini giving her intelligence, wit and the ability to speak well.
Hayat has a powerful T-square in her chart that involves
Mars (20 degrees Pisces) square Saturn and Uranus on one end, and Venus and
Mercury on the other.
A T-square
is formed when there are two planets in opposition and one planet is square to
(or in the middle of) the opposition. The planet at the apex, which squares
both ends of the opposition, functions as the catalyst, mediating between the
planets in opposition. This is an open, unstable, stressful aspect pattern but,
can be extremely effective and dynamic.
In her case
the apex, or the catalyst is Mars, the planet of action, aggression and war.
Individuals with a t-square in their charts experience great struggles, but they
never give up.
Mutable T-squares can produce restlessness, whims, and frequent
changes of mind, but can be very adept at adapting to circumstances.
Venus
and Mercury produce a quick mind, pleasant personality and ability to
communicate well, but are at war with Saturn/Uranus, producing upheaval,
changeability, a desire to overthrow
conditions, instability and insecurity.
Mars
is at war with Mercury-Venus producing a passionate nature and much personal
anger that can be expressed as verbal abuse and an often irritated mind.
On
the on other end Mars squares Saturn-Uranus giving dissatisfaction, a temper,
revolutionary tendencies, but discipline.(Saturn)
If
she remains free she will probably 'marry' or connect with another male before
early summer. I do not see any grief at all in this chart for her deceased
partner Amedy Coulibaly.
While I am at a disadvantage without her time of birth
which could show something different, her greatest period of peril will come early
2016, then again late again the same year. It is possible she will 'marry'
another jihadist who could also be killed in 2016.
