The Downfall of a Lord
Lord Black of Crossharbour, (Conrad Moffat Black), former financier, newspaper magnate and biographer, moved yesterday from his 28 million dollar Palm Beach mansion to communal quarters in Coleman Correction Facility to begin his 6 1/2 year sentence for fraud and obstruction of justice.
Lord Black was born August 25, 1944 with an unsubstantiated birth time of 6 am. Normally that birth time would be discarded because a) there is no source indicated and b) an exact hour birth time is usually assumed to be a ‘guesstimation’.
In this case however, a 6 am birth time gives an Ascendant of 29 Leo which fits Lord Black perfectly.
29 Leo is the location of the fixed star, Regulus. Regulus represents royalty, power and distinction – and a very public fall-from-grace for those who do not live up to its very high standards.
In 2001, Black surrendered his Canadian citizenship in order to be able to receive the title Lord of Crossharbour from England. At the time, he was chairman of the vast Hollinger International newspaper chain but was forced out of that position approximately two years later. He spent the next several years fighting in a variety of venues against charges that he defrauded Hollinger shareholders. On July 13, 2007, he was found guilty of three counts of fraud and one count of obstruction.
Black’s current Solar Return shows Saturn at exactly 29 Leo, right on his Ascendant and Regulus. Saturn on the Ascendant indicates a time of endings. There has been approximately 14 years of a very public existence but that is over. The next two years, as Saturn moves through the First house, is a time of withdrawal and introspection. The energy moves inward and all that really is successful during this period is work on the self.
