Thank you, pdw. You are always so conscionable. At least now, Anthony probably knows how much he was loved. I think he never quite felt connected to others, even though that is what he wrote about, and talked about on No Reservations (such a remarkable play on words). His natal Sun is rather peregrine, and even if it is in touch with an angle, it is sadly only barely touched by Venus, which strives from its introspective chattiness to huddle into the warmth of the Sun. It’s like his father never touched him, never said I love you. Saturn rx is almost “punished” by the Jupiter-Pluto which suggests extraordinary efforts for achievement at all costs. And, by the way, that set was just about scorched at last year’s eclipse. Anthony has been suffering.
The Moon, wherever it is, is either opposite to Uranus or square to Neptune, or both, suggesting that Mom lived in her own world. I would not be so brave as to say that except I just read the mother’s comments about her son. Oh, she was so surprised, so amazed that a man who had everything would commit suicide. Give me a break.
Well, perhaps if there is such a thing as overwhelming odds that leave someone “without a chance” in life, we can say that Anthony gave it the old college try, and much more. He brought poetry and some deep truths into our living rooms. Helped us appreciate the truth that food is much more than tasty treats, and a way of connecting us all.
