Assuming the above birth data is true, the real question is, who is Julian Assange. Is he a journalist, a political activist, a terrorist, or a "hero."
Unfortunately, there is no real consensus in the conventional news media as to what he is supposed to be.
People also seem to have widely different opinions of him. And, nobody knows what he's really up to, since with the proliferation of water in his natal (Sun and Moon in Water signs) the tendency is to hide or mask one's own secrets and personal agenda, while making a career out of exposing the secrets of others..(natal Sun in Cancer closely square natal Uranus in LIbra).
I see that at least one astrologer is publicly exalting Assange as a hero: "Assange is virtually single-handedly acting out the planetary drama of Pluto (destruction and revelation of secrets) in Capricorn (governments and Big Business) about to be set off by a square from Uranus (radical revolutionary behavior) in Aries (individual rights)."
However, since Uranus rules computers and the internet, it is fair to say that the real "hero" may be the technology of the internet (ie as the "vehicle" responsible for releasing the governments secrets). And, if Assange was not available or willing to upload the illegal files to a public website, I'm sure there would be others happily willing to do that.
But again, at this point, there is no clear concensus on how damaging the release of all of those cable messages are, since not all of the documents have been released. However, it is safe to say that the U.S. government and its allies is probably going to find a way to keep this guy out of commission for a while.
A red flag has been imposed on Assange by Interpol. so his travel options are very limited at this point.
Assange has at least four heavy, demoralizing personal transits for 2010, including: SA Pluto conjunct his Moon in Scorpio, SA Saturn conjunct his natal Sun, SA Neptune opposite his natal Sun, and SA Mars opposite natal Pluto in Virgo.
He was born with Neptune in Sagittarius in opposition to Saturn in Gemini. That opposition has now progressed by SOLAR ARC to eclipse his natal Sun in Cancer.
That is the ultimate "candle snuffer" type of transit, in which the darkest and most unimaginable things can happen to a person and where being ostracized by the authorities and government is highly likely !
This transit brings success and recognition to those who truly deserve it, but also, personal disillusionment, diminishment of physical health, as well as ostracization and being deceived by others, including close friends and loved ones.
Since he has natal Venus in Gemini closely square Pluto in Virgo, he is know to be demanding and domineering in his personal relationships, so his friends and other alliances are likely to turn against him without warning. when times turn bad for him.
Venus - Pluto is, by far, the "lone wolf" aspect ! Just ask anyone who has that aspect in their natal charts !
As transiting Uranus and Jupiter in Pisces oppose his natal Pluto and square the Venus, and solar arc Mars opposes Pluto. he is also in grave danger, physically, and needs personal protection at this time.
Normally, when Sun and Mercury in Cancer natives experience a "hard life," they return to mother, home and family to get them through the darkest times. But, with natal Sun in Cancer squares Uranus in Libra, all the rules of astrology fly out the window ! AND, since SA Pluto is transiting the natal Moon, (a conjunction) he may have to relocate to a new home or country outside of Australia. (i.e. He can expect to be treated, badly, by his own Australian government !)
Typically, when Pluto transits the Moon, one's past or homelife is wiped out, foreever, and the bridges are burned. Karmically, you are not allowed to go back to your past, again?
Finally, the bucket chart is normally that of a humanitarian, wanting to help others. Maybe the release of these secret documents is Assange's way (in his mind) of being helpful or of restoring justice.
The main problem is Mars (the handle). The effort is made, but aggressively so, so what some describe as "help" is actually agitatation or inflamation...
It's fare to say that many, many people are annoyed with Julian Assange, right now !
After all is said and done, I think that with his natal Jupiter in Scorpio sexile Pluto in Virgo and trine Mercury, he will eventually be able to cut some sort of deal with the U.S. government, legally, but he will be in legal limbo for quite a while...
