Bill Gates predicted there would be a world pandemic as early as 2015. How was he able to do that is anyone’s guess, however, the Sabian symbol of his elevated, High Focus Moon at 8 Aries 15 knows why.
ARIES 9 A crystal gazer This is a symbol of man’s capacity for bringing an entire universe within the purview of his mind. There are higher faculties of human understanding, but as no more than the illimitable possibilities of personal experience in the realms of potentiality. Implicit is the concept of the world and the individual as irrevocably in partnership, each reflecting the other and thereby providing a foreview of every possible mood or situation. The keyword is ACUTENESS. When positive, the degree is consummate insight in planning the course of events or organizing them in the light of immediate convenience, and when negative, an idle curiosity and a surrender of all reality to the vagaries of the moment.
A crystal gazer has the means with which to see into the future and sure enough, in 2019 the Coronavirus transversed the globe. Bill Gates is dedicated to finding solutions to world problems and puts his money where his mouth is. He has worked to irradicate polio, and he believes in the importance of vaccination in the face of Covid19.
Gates created Microsoft which made him a multi-billionaire. The configuration in this horoscope that provides the impetus to do great things beyond personal success is the Sharp Destiny aspect formed by Jupiter and Saturn in square aspect. This is the configuration that puts a person in the midst of life’s struggles, often becoming the easy target of criticism from outside sources. This dilemma ultimately leaves the native with the compulsion to accomplish great things in the support of great causes.
Marc Edmund Jones, in his Essentials of Astrological Analysis, defines the Sharp Destiny in square aspect as follows:
JUPITER AND SATURN IN A SQUARE ASPECT, indicate an ordering of life’s fundamental motives, through which the native usually suffers very immediate consequences of the least neglect or abuse of his own potentials. He finds he must fight continually for the ideals in which he has come to take the most consistent interest, and also learns that his conscious well-being is wholly dependent on the moral struggles in which he becomes involved almost inevitably at every stage of his experience. If he does not relish the days in which he seems torn to pieces in self-uncertainty, he must discover ways to tear himself apart deliberately, and in equally painful fashion, on the behalf either of some cause of real significance or some conception that he can dramatize through his own being. Personal existence under this configuration can become either great opportunity, or else a gradual disintegration of the soul in the very core of itself.
Progressed Mercury is coming “out of the dark” to meet the 7th house cusp where there will be more direct communication from him with others, especially in terms of interviews concerning the subjects with which he is engaged. Simultaneously, transits Jupiter and Pluto come to the light in the same location to bring profound possibilities as well as direct challenges to his intent. There have been attacks on his character and credibility and even outright lies about his creating the Coronavirus himself and launching it out to the public.
Truth is that Gates has been working hard for decades in his own Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, designed to help all people lead healthy, productive lives. In developing countries, it focuses on improving conditions to provide people with health and giving them the chance to lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty. (1)
Gates has been working under this influence of the Sharp Destiny for years and has mastered not only the chance to prove himself capable of achievement but has brought the rest of the world along with him by his magnanimous contribution in the digital sphere and in the field of health worldwide.
