Dr Who is back

Looking at the astrology behind the new series

March 2005

The eagerly awaited new series of Dr Who aired on Saturday night and was very well received, at least in my household it was, and I wasn't disappointed by the astrology either. Not only did the broadcast time fit perfectly with the two actors but it fits well with the chart for the original broadcast too.

Dr Who 2005

Dr Who - First Broadcast

Christopher Ecclestone

Billie Piper

Dr Who with Progressions

The Moon of the Saturday broadcast is at 17 Libra picking up Piper's Mercury at 17 Libra and Ecclestone's Jupiter at 17 Aries; this Mercury Jupiter theme was picked up brilliantly in the first episode when the Doctor fails to spot the London Eye - Jupiter has his attention on the Big Picture and fails to see the details. Saturn in the orignal broadcast chart is at 17 Aquarius conjunct the MC at 19 Aquarius and these points pick up this opposition by trine and sextile. Interestingly, the new series also has Saturn conjunct the MC - this is a Time Lord after all.

The Sun of the Saturday broadcast was conjunct Venus and Mercury picking up Ecclestone's Venus and Moon (time willing) and also Jupiter in the original broadcast chart. The progressed MC of the original series is currently at 1 Aries so it will progress over these points in the next few years. This usually indicates a period of achievement so perhaps the best is yet to come?

Progressed Moon is at 29 Leo which picks up the noon positions of Piper's Sun and Moon but care must be taken as if she's born later in the day then this doesn't hold.

What does cement the two actors and the original series is the nodal positions. Piper and Ecclestone have conjoined North Nodes which also join with the nodes from the original broadcast. Don't forget that the original was broadcast only a few months before Ecclestone was born so he will have all the outer planet contacts. However, the progressed Sun from the original series has moved to conjoin the south node bringing these three charts into line at this moment in time.

As someone said to me "We know in our hearts that this is Dr Who", what a great expression of progressed Sun touching three conjoined nodal axes?
