Astrological insight into Robin Williams death

As you might have heard by now the actor Robin Williams was found dead in his California home today 8/11/2014 apparently from committing suicide. The exact time of death is still unknown. I pulled up his astrological chart wanting to know if I could find any insight to why this happened. Robin is a Cancer Sun, Scorpio Rising and Pisces Moon. That's a whole lot of Water element which is symbolic of him being a very sweet sensitive compassionate kind soul with a deep emotional nature.  He also had other energy points in Water as well.

The first thing I looked for is where transit Pluto and transit Uranus is located in his chart. Pluto is symbolic of destruction and death, not always literal but always transformation happening on some level. Uranus is sudden unexpected surprises and changes, revolution happening to the area of life it's moving thru. I also wanted to see his own natal Pluto and Uranus placement. The first thing I noticed is transit Pluto perfectly opposite Robin's Mars which is the most important planet in Robin's chart because Mars rules his chart being a Scorpio Rising with Pluto as co-ruler so whatever is happening to Mars both his natal Mars and Transit Mars greatly effects him on a deep emotional level. His Mars is also conjunct his natal Uranus which is what made him so unique and different than most people. Mars was his passions and how he took action. Wherever Uranus is in our birth chart shows where we are most rebellious and original so with his Mars reflecting his actions/passions and entire personality (Rising sign) conjunct Uranus he had a very unique personality and gift in his acting ability which was one of his greatest passions. Transit Pluto opposing this important point for several months already was on its second pass pulling out deep repressed anger and rebellion in Robin, stirring up emotions so they could be healed. Transit Pluto currently at 11 degrees Capricorn is a very rare transit and Robin never had to face this energy before until this last year. Pluto was trying to change him and transform old emotional wounds of the past however it's not an easy process and no matter how strong a person is emotionally this transit would be extremely difficult to handle for any one. When Pluto opposes Uranus you can always expect the unexpected and something unusual happening in your life, usually destruction and revolution.

Pluto in Capricorn is Robin's 3rd house which is symbolic of his perceptions and intellect. Cancer (the opposite polarity of Capricorn where all his natal Cancer energy is) is in 9th house symbolic of his beliefs and faith in the world. Therefore transit Pluto was trying to change some old mental structures and patterns along with deeply embedded emotional beliefs from his entire life, even possibly from past lives. At the same time transit Uranus had been "squaring" his natal Mars and natal Uranus. Square aspects is a very challenging energy that forces action in some way which was moving thru his 6th house of health matters and every day working routine. Transit Uranus could have been bringing some unexpected health conditions to him so it's possible the cause of death isn't suicide and if it is than perhaps the health issues contributed to his decision. Regardless of cause the energy there was bringing something unexpected to his health and beliefs (conjunct Jupiter and square 9th house). Also transit South Node was in 6th house as well reinforcing the need to let go of the past and change his health and working routine to something new or at least innovate those matters.

Also transit Uranus was opposing Robin's Neptune in 12th house This natal placement for his Neptune was very difficult all his life as he was able to perceive the pain and suffering of the world and often times people with this placement feel like it's their own pain and can have addiction tenancies so to escape the pain until they work out some repressed psychological issues, usually past life related. Perhaps his sense of humor and career was his form of escape but he might have had other hidden addictions that most people don't know about. Hard to say for sure. So transit Uranus opposing this point could have added some psychological confusion to what was happening in his life right now and any emotional pain he might have been feeling.

Transit Saturn (hardcore reality and karma) had been moving thru Robin's first house of self  for the last couple years asking him to take greater responsibility for himself  including his health and any deeply hidden emotional issues that were repressed. Saturn is a 30 year cycle and so this was somewhat rare for Saturn to be in his first house but was also sending supportive energy to him in other ways to get serious about taking the necessary action to heal and better himself, but is still always a rough time where new realities about the self start to sink in. Transit Mars was also moving through his first house sending him an easy energy stream to his natal Uranus and natal Mars making it easy for him to take unusual action. Unfortunately, the easy action, seems to be used in a negative way, if in fact he did take his own life. In addition Saturn has been squaring Robin's natal Pluto which was asking for major self and career changes forcing him to get to the root problem of everything.. or else. Not an easy transit at all; Karmic.

Robin Williams was also having his Mercury return which is about a year cycle and symbolic of having a new focus and thinking pattern for the next year. Nothing too significant in that i suppose, just stands out that it happened today but what is significant is that transit Sun was moving over his Natal Pluto the last 24 hrs. That happens one day a year and means a large powerful source of attention was right on his inner personal power also symbolic of death and transformation but perfectly opposite yesterdays powerful Aquarius Full Moon which means his Pluto (personal power and control) was hard it and is in his 10th house of the world and career making his death a public situation and known by all. He most likely passed yesterday. When Sun moves over our Pluto we feel very deep intense emotions and so looks like everything was coming to a head with that transit the last 24 hrs.

This is just a brief summery of what i see but i really feel Mr Williams was dealing with some deep old emotions coming up that were needing to be healed and released as Pluto opposed all his Cancer energy.  The sign Cancer is known for holding onto the past including feelings, people, places and things that go far beyond the point of healthy. All people with a lot of Cardinal energy (Cancer, Libra, Aries and Capricorn) are going through rare transformation these days and for some people very extreme transformation depending on degrees and other aspects of their personal astrology. You can not run or hide from a Pluto/Uranus transit, you must face the music and step up to change, releasing the past for good.... or else finish the healing process in your next life. There is nothing to fear if you don't try and hold on but that is much easier said than done. Even if it turns out the cause of death was other than suicide Robin was under extreme unstable energy where unexpected situations can happen and no doubt the reason for his death. He left a legacy (Pluto in 10th house - the world) so will never be forgotten and the soul never dies, death is only an illusion. Still a big loss for the people that loved him though.

I send my condolences to his family, friends and fans

RIP Robin Williams
