The Kennedy‟s
The Kennedy family descended from the marriage of the
Irish-Americans Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. and Rose Elizabeth
Fitzgerald, and was prominent in American politics and
government. There were nine children, and after the death of
the oldest brother Robert, the three remaining brothers -
John, Robert and Edward, entered politics. They received
intensive publicity, often emphasizing their youth, allure, and education. They were the glamour family of
politics, and have been called American royalty.
But with high office, came sacrifice and tragedy. The family has undergone a series of deaths and
reverses sometimes called "the Kennedy curse". It has included the John F. Kennedy assassination (1963);
the Robert F. Kennedy assassination (1968); four aircraft crashes (Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., Kathleen
Kennedy, Edward M. Kennedy, and John F. Kennedy, Jr.); a fatal skiing accident (Michael Kennedy); a failed
prefrontal lobotomy on Rosemary Kennedy; and at least three sets of allegations against individual family
members and their relatives by marriage, including a murder conviction (Michael Skakel), a controversial fatal
single-car crash (Chappaquiddick incident), and a charge of rape (William Kennedy Smith).
Edward M. Kennedy
From the point of view of Edward‟s Soul, and the direction in which it wished to guide this incarnation,
Edward‟s life seems to be divided into two very different and distinct chapters. In astrological terms:
before his second „Saturn return‟ in 1991, and the period afterwards.
Based upon his life demonstration, it is clear that in the earlier period of his life, Kennedy‟s personality was
dominant. His chart interpreted exoterically (using the traditional rulers with the Sun at the heart of the chart)
shows his difficulties and challenges.

The unconscious lunar pattern imprisoning Edward‟s Soul – Moon conjunct Neptune, in Virgo
When the Sun is linked with the Moon as it does in Edward‟s case
(Sun opposition Moon, Neptune (conjunct the Moon) is the ruler of Edward‟s Pisces Sun).
this can strengthen the power of the negative patterns which reside in the unconscious, so that they emerge
into the stream of consciousness and literally keep their owner‟s mind, bound to the past.
th
The Moon is in the 8 house of death (opposite Mercury - siblings), and there is no doubt that the death of
Edward‟s brothers, and the burden of responsibility which was placed upon his shoulders to step up and “be
the man” and equal his brothers in their power and glory, was overwhelming. He sought to escape through
alcohol and women. This was easy. He had done it all before (in past lives).
(The Sabian symbol for the Moon and Neptune at 7 degrees Virgo – in a palatial harem bright-eyed
women laugh happily.)
His first marriage to Joan Bennett in 1958 was blighted by her alcoholism (Moon rules the 7H of marriage) and
his womanising and carousing ways, leading to divorce in 1981.
The esoteric chart is centred around the Ascendant, the “purpose of the Soul” point in the chart
replacing the Sun – the personality, as the centre of the chart)
The positive effects of the Soul‟s presence can be seen in Edward‟s political work in the remaining
years of his life. It was a total and somewhat startling turn-around, but at the end of it all, this is an
example of what people thought.
“Senator Edward M. Kennedy was an example of what you can do when you determine to rise
above your failings as a human being and focus on what you can do for others. More important,
he was an inspiration to all who struggle with the temptation to keep their light under a bushel
because they are not perfect. He was an inspiration to persevere. He stumbled plenty of times, he
had personal faults, he caused others great pain, but he recognized this, he was pained by this,
5
and each time he picked himself up and worked harder to make himself better.
Called “The Lion of the Senate”, Kennedy brought about positive change in the areas of health
care, civil rights, voting rights, education. He was always a worthy opponent when fighting for
what he believed in. And his spirit, time and time again, championed over his character defects;
allowing him to continue to contribute to the improvement of society. He was the third longest-
serving member of the United States Senate in American history. The scholar Thomas Mann said
his time in the Senate was “an amazing and endurable presence.”
Edward married Victoria Reggie Kennedy in 1992, and all indications are that it was a happy and successful
union. This is evidence of the change of focus and energy, in Edward. He was now functioning from a higher
level. Monogamy and higher creative output is evidence that focus has shifted from the sexual region in the
body, to the higher centres.
Kennedy endorsed Obama for US President, and in a way it was an anointing from the Kennedy dynasty.
Commentators say that Kennedy made it very clear that he was handing over the mantle that he had been
carrying ever since his brother handed it to him.
On May 20 2008, doctors announced that Kennedy had a cancerous brain tumor. He died on August 25, 2009
when the Sun was in Virgo – at two degrees of Virgo - the reverse of the Sun‟s position in the current
6
incarnation. This is where the Soul will pick up the personality thread in the next incarnation. Virgo is the sign
of purification, so it is obvious the Soul wishes to continue with the work which was started in the latter years
of Edward‟s life.
What is so special about Edward Kennedy, that he was the sole son to survive an early demise, and
die a natural death? There is something very fated about this family, which has suffered greatly.
There is a theme of materiality which runs through the charts of the three brothers, no doubt
inherited from their father Joseph, and this may provide a clue.
(JFK and Edward had their Moon‟s in Virgo “let matter reign”, and Robert had his Moon in Capricorn “let
ambition rule.” Joseph had both his Sun and Moon in Virgo. These are two very materialistic signs.
Perhaps it has something to do with this.)
As we advance along the Path, our attachment to the material world must be released, and we are
required to act with honesty and integrity. The transforming planets of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and
Pluto, will force us onto the right path.
On studying the charts, all three sons had Saturn, Lord of Karma (and of Retribution in some cases), very
strong in their charts. They would achieve positions of power and glory if this is what they wanted – and they
did, but they would have to work honestly to achieve this. Otherwise they would suffer serious consequences.
(JFK: Saturn (power) and Neptune (spiritual principles) in 10H (fame and fortune), challenged by the
Ascendant (the Soul). Esoteric ruler of Libran Ascendant – Uranus (the Soul in action), inconjunct Saturn
and square Mars (sudden and bloody outcomes.)
There are rumours that Joseph brought the presidency for his son, by making deals with powerful underworld
figures, deals which were not kept, thus inviting retaliation. This is speculation but there is evidence in the
charts that something along these lines could have been behind the assassinations. Robert was especially
fated. High office would definitely hold dangers for him, and especially if he opposed the underworld.
(Moon/ Jupiter 10H, opposite Pluto (underworld), square Mars (assassination).
Edward had similar patterns in his chart.
(Saturn square Scorpio MC. Co-ruler of the MC – Mars, opposite Moon Neptune in the 8H of death.)
Perhaps the answer to my question “why Edward?” is simply that, he was saved from an early death
because of his human weaknesses. He was after all, just a human being like you and me, with
strengths and weaknesses. God is compassionate, and forgives, and in the period that Edward was
“in the wilderness” he was given the opportunity to turn his life around. Finally he did.
Wwith the dominant male figures of his family gone, and being written off as a “no-hoper”, he had
nothing to lose and nothing to prove. This gave him the freedom to grow into his true nature, in his
own time, to walk a path of his own choosing, and he did not have to twist himself about in order to
fit in with the ambitious schemes of his father – or bear the curse of promises not kept.
He became his own man. He rose to prominence based on his own hard work and ethical behaviour,
and gained the respect of the people, as a consequence. At the end of it all he was seen as a shining
light, one who had made a huge contribution to the greater good, and was widely loved and
respected. As a Pisces Sun person, with Capricorn rising, this is what he wanted all along.
