St. Joan of Arc
Validating a birth chart
“I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God’s will.”
With now Sabaton and Powerwolf both creating songs of Joan of Arc, she is now officially the most metal saint. St. Joan is one of the few saints who actually did something in the world, rather than retreat to a cloister. St. Joan of Arc was a holy person in the midst of war, leading armies. She ordered her soldiers o observe chastity. She chased off any sex workers following her army by using her sword (the only time she used her sword).
St. Joan also holds the unique distinction of being the only canonized martyr who was martyred by The Church. She was executed as a heretic.
Her birthdate seems to be uncertain, but nothing astrology can’t solve.
When verifying a birthdate, my first task is to run a biwheel with the death date.
Immediately, you can see Transit Saturn is conjunct Joan’s Sun. That is a death transit. Transit Sun is also conjunct her Pluto. This is also a common death transit. Pluto = Hades and the underworld and corpses, or “being [Sun] nothing (Pluto).” The transit being in Venusian Gemini gives us “girl.” For Joan, on this day, she was condemed for crimes. So, Sun + Pluto = Day of Crime. The Sun also semisextiles her Saturn for a death transit. But, you also have multiple angles at 18 degrees creating death transits. Transit Juno is trining her Saturn. Mars and Juno, in transit, are in semisextile. “Burned to Death.” This Mars also squares her Venus for “Girl in Flames.”
The next step is to use the prenatal chart. Deaths will show in the prenatal chart. This is the primary use of a prenatal chart: To verify natal charts.
Transit Saturn and Moon are conjunct the prenatal Juno. This is a death transit akin to a Saturn Return. This conjunct is opposing her prenatal Vesta in Cancer: “Virgin (Vesta) Dies (Saturn-Juno) by Fire (Mars-Cancer).” Prenatal Mars is semisextile her prenatal Moon, as is the Transit Ceres (Moon) conjunct this: “Torched (Mars) Girl (Moon/Ceres).” Transit Mars opposes her prenatal Aries Mercury and Transit Vesta. Mercury is any communication. St. Joan had her famous last words and prayers that showed a saint was being executed. “Virgin (Vesta) Confessing/Praying (Mercury) in Flames (Mars).”
Her prenatal chart has her manner of death all over it. Of note is her prenatal Sun is semisextile her Saturn and sextile her Uranus. “Immortalized (Sun) by Dying (Saturn) a Heretic (Uranus).”
REHABILITATION
“In consideration of the request of the d’Arc family against the Bishop of Beauvais, the promoter of criminal proceedings, and the inquisitor of Rouen ... in consideration of the facts. ... We, in session of our court and having God only before our eyes, say, pronounce, decree and declare that the said trial and sentence (of condemnation) being tainted with fraud (dolus malus), calumny, iniquity and contradiction, and manifest errors of fact and of law ... to have been and to be null, invalid, worthless, without effect and annihilated ... We proclaim that Joan did not contract any taint of infamy and that she shall be and is washed clean of such.”
The most notable fact is there is a solar opposition. This shows it is Joan’s day. Transit Sun is conjunct Transit Mercury semisextiling Venus: “Day (Sun) Joan (Joan’s Sun) Declared (Mercury) Innocent (Venus).” In transit, Uranus and Pluto are conjunct. “Reverse (Uranus) Crime (Pluto).”
As an important historical figure, St. Joan surely has all kinds of historical dates I could look at. I am not terribly familiar with the saint and so can’t deal write an extensive research article on her. This article is an exercise in validating a birth chart. But, one final chart to show this is St. Joan’s chart:
Moon opposing her Sun squaring transit Venus. Moon is observing, camera….Whenever I find a video published of someone I will see the Moon in transit. With it squaring Venus, this shows a music video. A perfect lunar opposition to her Sun the second the video is uploaded. This is Joan’s chart.
She is asked : Do you know if you are in the grace of God?
JOAN: If I am not, may God place me there; if I am, may God so keep me. I should be the saddest in all the world if I knew that I were not in the grace of God. But if I were in a state of sin, do you think the Voice would come to me? I would that every one could hear the Voice as I hear it.
