Well I think Kibeth was referring to his hacking during his youth in Australia, not the US cables.
Yes, I was referring to that.

I don't see anything in his chart to suggest any intellectual superiority - technical proficiency is a different thing, but I can see why he would be attracted to computers, and why he would see life as a serious 'game' and indeed why he might 'gamble' or take risks (though calculated ones from his point of view).
Your assessment seems accurate. Especially on account of that Capricorn in House III. I'm still looking for that sign of intellectual superiority, a gap I must fill in my knowledge!! What I have un-earthed are some signs of intelligence though not necessarily "superior". This here is what Cafe Astrology spewed:
Trine Mercury - Jupiter
He is
intelligent, has big ideas: he is tolerant and has a strong sense of justice. He has good judgement, good sense and has his feet on the ground. He has the "gift of the gab", and likes to speak, he also likes literature. He is erudite and will normally be successful socially.
Sextile Jupiter - Pluto
He likes to direct, is
intelligent and is an organizer of the first order.
House III is the area of social and intellectual learning.
House III in Capricorn
Nothing is left to chance, everything is calculated, dissected slowly and methodically, twice rather than once, in peace and quiet by himself. He is introverted, and doesn't speak about his plans until they are underway.
House X in Leo
All the leadership qualities are there: authority, sense of organization, initiative,
intelligence, but also thanks to outside help. He is a fighter.
Moon in Scorpio
Many Lunar Scorpios are
intelligent and astute.
12 Trine Mercury - Ascendant
He is
intelligent, with quick and lively reflexes. He is preoccupied by his circle, likes to exchange ideas with his friends, but also with strangers. Of an open nature, he goes out to others.
Mars in Aquarius
With Mars, the planet of energy and drive, in an Air sign, these individuals get off on mental and
intellectual pursuits.
Sextile Jupiter - Pluto
He likes to direct, is
intelligent and is an organizer of the first order.
Uranus in XI
His freedom is important to him, even with regard to friends. These are extravagant, original,
intellectual. They are not from the same background and have a different up-bringing.

I think its dangerous to diagnose mental illness from a chart. There's nothing in his chart to suggest insanity or anything approaching it. If you are referring to the Saturn/Neptune opposition, I wouldn't take any notice of it personally but a modern Astrologer might claim the aspect shows an inability to see structures, an illusion of certainty, obscure analysis, dysfunctional analysis or other such interpretation of the aspect, I don't think even the most fluffy offbeat Astrologer would claim that anyone with this aspect is insane! If you want to look for Astrological symbols of insanity read Mitchell Gibson's 'Signs of Mental Illness'.
Thank you for the recommendation.
I must however disagree. I have an afflicted Saturn and I do know I'm nuts.

That will be an interesting development if it happens. No doubt such indictments will lead to a warrant for his arrest and the instigation of extradition proceedings, either here (UK) or in Sweden depending on when the extradition is sought and where Assange is at that time.
Conspiracy theorists will no doubt be saying that the Swedish charges were simply a holding device to detain him, ready for extradition to the US.
Sweden is one of my researches. In that country it appears the Muslim population raped and molested Swedish women in astonishing figures, but their media isn't allowed publish, or let know, such reports. It was a few activists who let the cat out of the bag. The government's reasoning for this I do not know. I can however deduce Sweden's sexual prosecution levels are treated seriously or purposely kept under wraps to suit political motivations that has nothing to do with justice itself. Does this make sense?
