Robin Williams, Tony Scott. Suicides: An astrological case study
SHORT BIOGRAPHY:
- ROBIN WILLIAMS. He was an American actor who, after improv at L.A.’s Comedy Store, took his non-stop madness into the TV series “Mork and Mindy.”
- From 9/14/1978 he played Mork, a delightfully demented interplanetary visitor, for $15,000 a week. As a then unknown Juilliard drama student, he had made his first appearance as Mork in a one-shot stint on “Happy Days.” The character made such an immense impact with the public that it led to the winning series. In addition to TV, Williams has done many films, movies that were hilarious, touching, dramatic, and histrionic; some duds and some memorable classics. Williams achieved a critical pinnacle in his career by winning a 1998 Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his restrained performance as a South Boston therapist in Gus Van Sant’s 1997 charmer, “Good Will Hunting.”
- TONY SCOTT: Anthony David “Tony” Scott (21 June 1944 – 19 August 2012) was a British film director and producer. His films include The Hunger (1983), Top Gun (1986), Beverly Hills Cop II (1987), Days of Thunder (1990), The Last Boy Scout (1991), True Romance (1993), Crimson Tide (1995), The Fan (1996), Enemy of the State (1998), Spy Game (2001), Man on Fire (2004), Domino (2005), Déjà Vu (2006), The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009), and Unstoppable (2010).
He was the younger brother of film director Ridley Scott. In November 2010, Tony (and Ridley) Scott received the BAFTA Britannia Award for Worldwide Contribution to Filmed Entertainment.[1]
I have watched Robin Williams in many movies and I personally admired him as a great actor. His characters in Patch Adams and Good Will Hunting was phenomenal. So is the case with Tony Scott. I have seen almost all the movies directed or produced by Tony Scott. His action sequences and thrillers were a source of admiration. I was really shocked when I heard that he committed suicide by Jumping off from Vincent Thomas Bridge. I never believed it. The death of Robin Williams was also a shock as I really admired him as an actor. I wanted to find out what was going inside them when they committed suicide. I am going to analyze the same on the basis of their respective horoscopes. There are similarities between these horoscopes which I am going to reveal over here.
ROBIN WILLIAM’S ASTROLOGY PROFILE: Mr.Williams was born with Libra rising in Eastern Horizon. The lord of ascendant is very close to Ketu which is a planet of loneliness and deep grief. Mercury is placed in Sign Cancer which is a watery sign. This combination is not good for nervous system and overall the person gets very emotional sometimes. Most of the planets are placed in dual and stable signs which shortens the longevity to middle age. There is no “Shubha planet” in the Kendra and the birth is of darker lunar half. All these combinations with Saturn Mars watching each other can create problems for the native. He suffered from drinking problems and depression. If we look at year 2009, we will see that March marks the onset of Ketu dasha. Ketu is known for surgery and severe depression. He has to face a knife during that time and that was the onset of his repeated depression. Ketu is a planet which is known for extreme melancholy and deep heartache. It can create episodes of extreme variance in life. In 2014, it was the sub period of Saturn placed in twelfth house of liberation. It is watched by Mars from ninth house thereby heightening the level of extreme actions to end sorrow. On the fateful day of August 11th 2014, he was facing the sookshma dasha of Rahu placed in Shatbisha. Shatbisha is known as an empty circle and Moon and Rahu are placed in this nakshatra. On 11 August 2014 at around 11:55 a.m. PDT, Williams was found unconscious at his residence in Tiburon, California, and was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:02 p.m., apparently from suicide by hanging himself.
His sub-sub period belonged to Venus the ascendant lord placed very close to Ketu.
TONY SCOTT’S ASTROLOGY PROFILE: Tony Scott was born on 21st June 1944 with Gemini rising. Four planets are placed in Gemini which made him a think tank for action and thrillers. The combination of action planet Mars and Rahu in second house indicates that why his brain got tempted with thrillers and action sequences. The placement of planets in dual signs has shortened his life to middle age. The one benefic in center is combust and his birth in brighter lunar half added some years to his longevity. Unlike Mr.William, he was a strong headed person but dasha span can cause lot of havoc in anybody’s life. Tony Scott was a very courageous man in his real life and his depression could not be analyzed from his appearance. His horoscope shows problems right from year 2007 when he started facing the dasha of ketu. His Mars is placed in Cancer with Mars which is not a good sign for heart, though there was no such indication as far as public appearances are concerned. On 15th August 2012 he started facing the sub period of Saturn.
His 64th Navmansha (from ascendant) is Capricorn and 22nd drekaana is also Capricorn. Ketu is placed in this sign and so Ketu carries deadly influence. Tony Scott jumped off the Vincent Thomas Bridge (pictured above in 2003) on 19 August 2012. On August 19, 2012, at approximately 12:30 p.m. PDT, Scott died by suicide by jumping off the Vincent Thomas Bridge in the San Pedro port district of Los Angeles, California.
SIMILARITIES IN ASTROLOGICAL COMBINATIONS: The main period of Ketu and Sub period Saturn. The month of August which might be a coincidence. Saturn sub is not considered good in Ketu dasha. I have seen that people who carry strong Mars and Saturn or who have Mars and Saturn aspecting each other should be very careful during Ketu period. Ketu activates the fateful combination of these two extreme planets. It is a planet of melancholy and such people need special care during this dasha. August month represent Bhadrapada Mass in Indian Calendar. When the Moon is in the constellation of Poorvabhadra on the full Moon day that month is denoted as Bhadrapada Month. According to ancient Shastras Moon is this month is ruled by Ajaikapada (another form of Rudradevtas). Hence the person can suffer from heavy grief and can easily think of negative outcome during this month (More research can be done through suicide studies.)
It cannot be a coincidence that theses suicide occurred in the same month under the combination period of same planets. Please note that Ketu dasha is not good in old age if a person has no belief in Supreme power.
REMEDIES:
Your routine in the Ketu dasa period should match the requirements of Ketu. Doctrinal knowledge and spiritual lifestyle will enable your mind to escape from the difficulties in the Ketu dasa period. Accept advises and directions of the learned people. This will help in strengthening your mind. Restarting the suspended religious rites, finding some time for chanting mantras and meditation, and practicing a systematic lifestyle are important. Don’t quarrel with those inside and outside your family. Don’t hesitate to make confessions. Be careful while traveling in vehicles and donate blood if possible. Donations to re-habitations centres, detox centres, units which serve handicaps, organization which maintain burial grounds can help the person. Wearing a rudraksha rosay of “0” number may also help the native passing through this phase.
