An Argument for OBL's Birthdate on March 10, 1957

(2.27 - 3.02.2002) There is so much mystery around the day Osama was born. I believe there are at least six different dates floating around -- four of which have passed my way. Those four are: March 10, 1956; March 10, 1957; July 28, 1957; and another one for October 3, 1957. Although we may never know for sure, March 10, 1957 poses a good argument.

I have been immersed with terrorism, specifically relating to Osama’s acts since the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen on October 12, 2000. My article Speculation on the USS Cole, is archived online. Of course, I was frustrated with the confusion about when he was born. Truly, an illusive guy. Long before 911, there were questions on his date of birth. I went to work, testing each of the four charts using Sun on the Ascendant. I pulled out each chart and plotted 9 events related to Osama. All my data was found on the Internet. That meant, all his bombings and days he hit the media with fatwas, etc. I used 9 dates, beginning with an event in 1983. You can find them on the Internet. Clearly, one chart began to stand out from all the rest -- March 10, 1957.

(I would like to remind students of astrology that we are all currently involved in a mutable opposition between Saturn and Pluto -- war. The birth date of March 10, 1957 places Osama’s Mercury, Venus, Juno, Sun and Pallas in a T-formation to this opposition. It also places Pluto on Osama’s Saturn.)

I continued to plot his acts around the March 10, 1957 chart using the Sun-on-the-Ascendant. Lo-and-behold, through use of transits, secondary and tertiary progressions, two points in space stood out -- alone -- over and over again. Those two points were early to mid-Capricorn and late Libra. A possible Ascendant and Midheaven? The Moon changed from Gemini to Cancer on mid-morning March 10, 1957. I found it hard to give this guy the Moon in Cancer, as he seems to have several different homes!

I urge the astrologer to use the scientific tools given to us by the greats in our field to solve this problem. Rather than get flustered, do your homework! Gather the dates of his alleged acts and plot them around each chart. Then, let’s talk. I would love to hear the results of your work. I have found March 10, 1957 with a approximate birth time of 2:15am for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia very revealing! There's a new thread on my message board about this, if you'd like to leave a message there.
