The Death of Edward Kennedy

(CNN) — Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the patriarch of the first family of Democratic politics, died late Tuesday at his home in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, after a lengthy battle with brain cancer. He was 77…”He was “not only one of the greatest senators of our time, but one of the most accomplished Americans ever to serve our democracy,” President Obama said, speaking to reporters during his vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.
Death does not usually show up in an astrology chart as one of the oppressive or threatening transits like a Saturn or Pluto square. Usually, it is Uranus or Jupiter involved – influences of transformation or growth.
Edward Kennedy’s ascendant is Capricorn. Saturn ruled his ascendant and was also located in the First house so it really represented him and the image he portrayed, particularly in that a Capricorn influence of any kind (i.e. Sun, Moon, Ascendant…etc.) presents difficult lessons and limitations in the first half of life but usually matures very well.
Kennedy’s Saturn progressed (Solar Arc) through the 77 years of his life until it reached Uranus, the planet of dramatic transformation at 16 Aries.
