Pope Francis has died and he is generally praised as a humane church reformer, who had an eye for the weak and also paid attention to the environment. He was not a straightforward church prince, but a pope who wanted to bring the church even more in line with the modern world. It is almost disturbing how the press ignored all the shady matters surrounding his pontificate, his connections with the St. Gallen mafia and with notorious child abusers. It makes it clear once again how limited and perhaps directed the information is that reaches us through the usual media.
Mercury pope
By his choice of name, he immediately made it clear that he wanted to renew, he was the very first Pope Francis. Incidentally, he thus continued a development that has been going on for a long time, at most accelerating things. He called his church a “field hospital” and emphasized practical mercy and not dogmas, transcendence, spirituality, mysticism, and devotion. This is immediately clear in his horoscope, because there is one planet that stands out. Mercury is on the descendant and he will show this very strongly to the world.
Third house
Mercury is the flexible pragmatist, not exactly the theologian who deals deeply with the doctrine of the faith. In this he differed greatly from his predecessor who had Jupiter in Pisces on the Ascendant! So those are really two opposites, which is reinforced by the fact that in the radix of the learned theologian Benedict, Jupiter is Lord 9 of religion and in Francis, the dominant Mercury is Lord 3 of practicing the faith. So here you see the field hospital. Mercury of course also has major disadvantages because he is not a good leader, Francis indeed leaves behind a confused, weakened and divided church. Does it really have to continue in his direction, which so loosens the church from its roots?
Fallen
This dominant Mercury of the field hospital is in reception through exalation /triplicity with Mars in detriment, showing the strife and division he has intensified. Lord 9 of the church is Jupiter emphasized by its conjunction via antiscion with the strongly expansive North Node and the Sun of leadership. Jupiter, however, is in its fall and has come out of its own sign not so long ago. This reflects the modernization process that Pope Francis continued, but which was already initiated by others.
Capricorn Mansion
It is striking how little essential dignity there is in this radix, with Mercury only in term and Venus in face , but you don’t need that to have an influence in the world. Furthermore, there are two planets in decidedly bad condition and three pergrine, wandering without direction. It is again also striking how guiding the Lunar Mansion is, it is Al Sa’ad Al Dhabi, the Mansion of Capricorn associated with sacrifice and the transition to the next world!
