May 20, 2008 – Edward Moore Kennedy, (February 22, 1932) prominent US senator and patriarchal figure of the Kennedy clan, has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.

The major transit involved is Neptune conjunct the Mars-Mercury-Sun configuration. Neptune is other-wordly energy associated with dreams, illusions, imagination and does not combine well with the physical, down-to-earth planets of Mars (passion, drive, anger, ambition), Mercury (thoughts processes and manner of communicating) and the Sun (physical body and ego). Neptune takes 84 years to complete a circuit so this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. In an older person, a Neptune transit is a time when the individual may start to drift away from the physical, energetic world. In this case, there are three of Kennedy’s planets involved so the effect is intensified.
Neptune is close enough now to have an effect but will reverse position on May 26, 2008, return in February, 2009 and pass back and forth for the following three years.
Another element involved is Saturn opposite Kennedy’s Natal Sun, a transit which indicates a depressed and/or focused body energy. Because of the nature of Kennedy’s birth chart, Saturn will move away from his Sun on June 4, 2008 but affect his Moon/Neptune conjunction for the month of July, possibly indicating another period of stress.
