Assange's chart
Some charts are very difficult to read objectively without having either extensive knowledge and information about the subject (public and personal) or being in direct dialog with the subject.
The problem comes from linking each astrological symbol and each grouping of symbols to specific actions, responses, feelings, attitudes and situations. We do this often on this list and other places where we practice, BUT we don't always have to deal with a Grand Cross type of chart with that pattern at the angles. This is a tough challenge.
The information you have noted is helpful in contributing to the discussion about him and the consequences of his current direction in life. As I had noted about his Neptune-versus-Saturn pattern, which I also have in my chart, he seems to be confusing reality (as seen by others) with idealism (as seen by him). This is one of those astrological patterns which can be used as a bridge between taking a vision and making something practical happen with it. I did this through marketing, sales, product engineering (in my work life) and through astrology and tarot and graphic arts (in my personal life).
It is my normal practice to start assessing a chart based on the one or two most prominent factors -- in Assange's case this meant the Sun-Moon and the Grand Cross. Unfortunately, this is a very entwined and complex set of symbols AND the nature of his family life and adult life only complicates it further.
Perhaps we should contrast this with another GC chart. Dave
