Natalie Rupnow Horoscope
Sun and Mercury
Fixed star Zubenelgenubi conjunct Sun (0°44′) and Mercury (2°30′): Zubenelgenubi is symbolically called the Insufficient Price. It causes malevolence, obstruction, an unforgiving character, violence, disease, lying, crime, disgrace, and the danger of poison. It gives an immortal name. However, this comes about more by tragic circumstances than by well-noted success.
This star can give the courage to fight for what is right, but a position of power brings regret, public dishonor or worse. Harshly aspected (square Jupiter), justice takes a back seat to vengeance and frequently causes unfortunate situations, from domestic strife and miscarriages of justice to psychopathic killings that started in the guise of love.
With Sun: The ability to zero in on an objective, mental anxiety and suffering through wrongful accusations, sickness of self and family, disfavor of superiors, loss in business and through fire or speculation, ultimate disgrace, loss and ruin.
With Mercury: Crafty, clever, quick mind, subtle, revengeful, treacherous, bad health, disgrace, poverty or a ward of society.
Sun conjunct Mercury (1°46′) is the most significant aspect in the Natalie Rupnow horoscope. It means that her thinking and communication are critical to her makeup. But this aspect means little on its own because it is heavily influenced by the negative star Zubenelgenubio and a challenging square aspect to Jupiter.
Sun square Jupiter (3°14′) and Mercury square Jupiter (2°04′) amplify the risk of malevolence, vengeance, violence and tragedy caused by the fixed star Zubenelgenubi. This combination gives an abundance of enthusiasm and a sense of adventure that is difficult to control. Lack of concentration and self-discipline would have caused problems learning and trouble with teachers and other students.
A lack of moderation and poor judgment has pushed the boundaries of morals and ethics. It led to extremes and excesses in behavior, ideas, opinions and beliefs. Arrogance, bigotry, and a tendency to be indiscreet would have led to dysfunctional relationships, disagreements, arguments, disappointment, loss and embarrassment.
Venus
Venus sextile Pluto (2°27′) made Natalie Rupnow extremely passionate about love and what she loved doing. It brought obsessions, compulsions and infatuations, which have taken a sinister turn because of the harsher aspects in her chart and some particularly nasty fixed stars.
This aspect would have made her quite intense, with a tendency to focus on a particular person or issue. She would have been deeply hurt by any disloyalty, rejection or bullying.
Mars
Mars conjunct fixed star Asellus Australis (1°21′): Energy, courage, misapplied powers, public disfavor.
Asellus Australis causes slander, gain and loss of friends, domestic problems, disgraceful actions, reputation loss, an inability to take insults, serious accidents, burns and violent death. Can become moody, self-willed, uncooperative, stubborn, impatient, aggressive, brutal and violent, and put life in danger through lack of caution or by being a dare-devil.
Saturn
Saturn square Pluto (0°34′) gives a ruthless determination, but stubbornness often derails success. Conservative views and unwillingness to change that verges on ignorance made it difficult for her to evolve spiritually. A lack of flexibility and adaptability would have resulted in painful experiences and crises.
A limiting influence on ethics and morals caused her to hold a minority belief based on an extreme interpretation of a philosophy or religion. It is the main reason in her astrology chart for her hateful, racist, and xenophobic beliefs.
This aspect creates a fear of change that can become debilitating and self-destructive. Steel armor and a cold, calculating attitude could have made Natalie Rupnow lonely and feared and lacking enjoyment from intimate human contact. She had an online boyfriend for two years but never met in person.

Uranus
Uranus conjunct fixed star Markab (0°41′): Evil habits, mental disturbances, clever, wanderer, unavailing efforts, a peculiar life, trouble with the parent of the opposite sex and domestic matters, many accidents, violent death, and dangers from fire, weapons or explosions.
Markab can give good fortune, wealth and high honors, but the risk of misfortune, unrealized ambitions, disgrace, fevers, cuts, blows, stabs, fire and violent death.
Neptune
Neptune conjunct fixed star Deneb Algedi (0°00′): Easily influenced, psychic ability, superstitious, reserved, economical, some gain through speculation, many enemies, bad early environment leaving a lasting impression, morose and melancholy at the end of life, accidents, death in a fit or by assassination.
Deneb Algedi brings beneficence and destructiveness, sorrow and happiness, and life and death.
Pluto
Pluto conjunct fixed star Spiculum (0°32′): This star cluster gives refinement, the courage of convictions, ambition, fetishes, self-destruction and illness. Harsh aspects (square Saturn) give a strong tendency towards depression, a negative ‘fear of God,’ a morbid outlook religiously and all manner of problems, psychological and physical.
South Node
South Node conjunct fixed star Pollux (0°09′): This star is the wicked boy or the pugilist, symbolically named A Heartless Judge. It gives a subtle, crafty, spirited, brave, audacious, cruel, brutal, tyrannical and rash nature, eminence, renown, dignified malevolence, an aptitude for getting into quarrels, a love of sports, especially boxing, violence, psychic ability, success in war, business and politics, and is connected with poisons.
