Memoir to Jean Dominique Bauby

The recently released film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, has already been in book form for over 10 years. Director Julian Schnabel has richly captured the essence of the seemingly tragic tale of French Elle Editor-in-Chief Jean–Dominique Bauby after he suffered a massive stroke in 1995. Adapted from the book Bauby wrote after the stroke, this cinema journey will take you deep inside life and the riveting meaning behind it.

Bauby was born to a 26/8 Lifepath upon April 23, 1952 in Paris, France, and it was one that brought him plenty of those 8 material rewards in his lifetime through hard work. His earthen Taurus 23 Karmic Path granted him the gift of The Royal Star of the Lion, where nothing was ever to stop him from achieving whatever it was that he wanted. With Mercury governing over the singular 5’s energy, this blessed Bauby with communication skills and the ability to be immensely known by masses of people. As much as he was already beyond well popular in the fashion world being the Editor of Elle, it truly seems his gift to the masses is the book he has now left in written form. No doubt this book will really do more a lot more “work” even 10 years after his death, as it has now been forever instilled in an unforgettable cinema graphic memoir.

Bauby’s charts relate all of his ever-fascinating star secrets of his zest, thrill and spice for life, one being his Jupiter placement right upon his Ascendant, the area in the birthchart of how one carries out their approaches. With this planet being the one behind all contagious optimism and ultimate expansion, it was exactly how Bauby lived his life: on the go, surrounded by good times, people, especially food and intriguing romantic adventures.

As much as Bauby was the seemingly reigning Casanova and man extraordinaire, he also had a very deep need to be alone. His predominant planets of the Moon, Mercury and Venus fell in his 12th house of inner solitude. His working through the emotions, thinking and values all sat in an area that required his time equally away from the world at large to be the best he could be while playing in it. This, surely coupled with his 23/5 Karmic Path energy, is the reason his imagination was beyond vivid and continued to work in his favor after the stroke. His mind was his greatest gift, and it surely probed deeply and endlessly.

Bauby was in a 6 Personal Year at the time of the stroke, and on December 8th, 1995, was in a 9 Personal Month, one that represents finalizations and endings. We doubt this was the kind of thing he was wishing to see at the time, but however his body choose to decide it was time to go into “locked syndrome,” it was in time with his numerical cycles. Through his following 7 Personal Year, he wrote and completed the book that is now grabbing all the attention as a film- written in a personal year cycle that is about inner work, solitude, and cleansing of the soul.

Bauby never did make it to see his 8 Personal year, although one may wonder why he may have choose to pass on only 3 days after the book he miraculously written was officially published, which was on the 9th day of March, 1997.

We conclude with the ever uncanny and revealing Lexigrams, not only of the intense man behind the divine message he left behind, but also of the symbolic title of the message he left for the world. Both are mysteriously accurate in their tales from the letters within the name, and yet again, it becomes more evident that Lexigrams surely speak to us all in the most subconscious of ways.

Jupiter Conjunct Pluto, December 2007

Once about every 13 years, we can find Jupiter catching up to whatever sign the elliptical orbit of Pluto is currently transiting through. Any time 2 planets meet-up in the same astrological sign at the same mathematical degree, is known to be a conjunction. This aspect creates intensities and heightened energies to then unfold of those planet’s qualities as they are displayed within the particular zodiac sign it falls in.

The last time we saw Jupiter and Pluto in close quarters was November 16th through December 13th, 1994 when Pluto was finishing up its’ transit at 28 degrees Scorpio. Now, almost exactly 13 years later, these two are joined up again at 28 degrees Sagittarius, exact conjunction from December 11th to Dec 14th. December 2nd marked when Jupiter drew within 2 degrees of Pluto and will move forward from the 2 degree conjunction upon December 27th, 2007. Anytime planets are within a 2 degree separation, the affects of their conjunction can still be strongly felt, thus for almost the entire month of December 2007, the collective can expect these two outer planets to bless them in multitudes of ways.

Being both Jupiter and Pluto are outer planets, their constant affects upon the collective are felt on a much more subtle subconscious level rather than a more outwardly conscious one. When these two planets are in such an intimate connection, the potentials of how they both execute their energies in Sagittarius can gravitate from being enthusiastic, inspiring, freedom loving and exuberant- swinging to the opposing forces of rebellion, unfulfilled desires, arrogance and blasphemy. Jupiter governs over expansive natures, idealism and education, while Pluto watches over deep penetrating transformations, mysteries and power dealings. Their union in Sagittarius also promotes prophecy, an obsession with freedom, exploration, philanthropy, and faith in human nature.

And what may this rare conjunction hold for you, you may be asking? Look to where the 28th degree of Sagittarius falls in your individual birth chart and you’ll know exactly the area of your life that this Universal energy is affecting at present. Each of the 12 sections of your astrological birth chart determines how you approach different areas of your life, all calculated from the time you’re born. What most people don’t understand about astrology is that each and every sign in the zodiac affects one area of the life, no matter what sun sign you are by interpreting the birth chart in this way.

Thus, 13 years ago, the area of life that 28 degrees Scorpio affects is where you last saw these two planets passing through, causing a heightened affect as the conjunction occurred. This area of your life was also where Pluto had been slowly causing deep changes to over the years prior as it slowly moved through the first 27 degrees of Scorpio. Being we all have our own unique planetary placements within our charts, how the conjunction affected you 13 years ago is quite different from how it is affecting you now. Go ahead, think back to November and December 1994…

There should be no question either as to why this particular astrological blessing from our planets of wisdom and transformation occurs only once every 13 years. To set the numerical record straight the 13 is by no means a number to be afraid of. Its’ Chaldean Karmic Mystery represents Regeneration and Change, and is the opposite of the typical superstition that it is “unlucky.” Quite the contrary, as the Chaldeans deeply understood the 13 to be: “a number of upheaval, so that new ground may be broken. It’s associated with power, which, if used for selfish purposes, will bring destruction upon itself. There is a warning of the unknown and the unexpected. Adapting to change gracefully will bring out the strength of the 13 vibration, and decrease any potential for the negative. 13 is associated with genius- also with explorers, breaking the orthodox and new discoveries of all kinds.” So, with that being said, you can see why yes of course the 13 has been “unlucky” for some when they aren’t adhering to the ancient’s understanding of the genius and power within it.

Your Sagittarian area of the life in the birth chart has been the one that has seen the affects of Pluto passing through it over the last 13 years. No doubt over the course of time there has been incredible transformation and forward motion in this particular house in the birth chart. As both Pluto and Jupiter get ready to soon enter Capricorn, the last question remains, where will you be 13 years from now when the next Jupiter conjunct Pluto occurs at 23 degrees Capricorn, from October 23rd until November 29th, 2020? You’ve got more than enough of time to prepare for the goodness that can shower where 23 degrees Capricorn sits in your birth chart. Until then, enjoy the wisdom and transformations that will be blessing you!
