Life Purpose Report For
Christopher Marlowe

Christopher Marlowe
The report shows how the true writer of the Shakespeare plays was Christopher Marlowe.

Christopher Marlowe came in on the 6th ray soul group. The 6th ray concerns itself with the attributes of the solar plexus, which are represented by Mars and Neptune in the chart. These are the human weaknesses created by the illusion of passions. His work as William Shakespeare displays a lot of understanding and knowledge on human nature and self illusions, this knowledge can be seen in Christopher Marlowe’s birth chart, in the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the seventh house, both retrograde. Interestingly Jupiter retrograde in the 7th house promises “others will not keep their promises” it’s a life time of set backs that can play havoc with the life, payment may not come in, work promised may not materialise or be given to another, eventually “others” are seen as very untrustworthy. Saturn retrograde can make a person very anti-social, with the effects of Jupiter being retrograde he would have feared rejection, and the combination would have made him feel very low at times, even agoraphobic. This conjunction would be the reason why he would have wanted to remain anonymous, even at the end of life, because then there would be no judgement from others, and no let downs. When a script was finished it would be bought or not.

Numerology

6th Feb 1654 =6+2+ 1 + 6+5 +4 = 24/6

The Destiny number is the birth date, the given talent and the lesson to learn.

• 24/6 is the number of the successful person,
• Interestingly the same selection of numbers as Michael Jackson.[24/6]
• 6- The voice, [or in Christopher Marlow’s case, the pen] needs to be heard.
• Astrologically 6 is related to Venus in the natal chart, the morning star, a feminine watery planet with a beneficial nature. Venus is in the second house in Pisces, which suggests he was exploited to some extent, a person whose work was associated with the arts, rather faithful and plodding, with good tastes. He suffered for his art. He would have been one of the two images of Venus.
• Venus has two different images, one is of a fair -complexioned youth who is the embodiment of love and sensuality, curly hair, attractive and radiant body, who is an outgoing hedonist and gentle by nature.
• The other image is that of a teacher of the “antigods”, he has white matted hair and beard, which may resemble the more aged Christopher Marlowe under his new identity.
• Venus governs romance, beauty, passion, sexual pleasure, fine arts, music, poetry and dance. Venus also governs the eyes, throat, chin, kidney and reproductive systems.
• Venus is active with a passionate nature, it bestows proportionate and attractive bodies and lotus shaped eyes.
• Venus governs the adolescent stage of life.
• Destiny number 6’s appear to magically get all comforts and luxuries of life by means of luck, all they want just comes to them. But like all things this luck doesn’t extent to absolutely everything, as they are also likely to have great difficulty finding a suitable life partner, or pinning “the” right one down.
• 6’s take care of their friends and relations without a second thought, and often have to work hard all their life in order to do so.
• 6’s are both independent and social at the same time.
• 6’s make excellent conversationalists and are good at storytelling, they travel a lot and enjoy their lives and love good tasty food.
• There is a strong sentimental streak running through a 6, making them more sentimental than logical and often they sit and think about their past.
• Any form of bondage is denied, often they will remain uncommitted, even break laws if it suits them, its very unlikely they follow any traditional religions, but there is an attraction to secret sciences, alchemy, tantra etc.
• 6’s are dependable and peace loving, romantic and methodical in their work, and can make good diplomats. They protect the interest of their own.
• Money can slip through their hands, as they are generous and lavish on their friends and relatives.
• 6’s often collect beautiful things, as a woman would collect dresses, perfumes and jewellery, a man may collect paintings, antiques and precious stones.
• They are likely to remain attractive, charming, and youthful right into their old age.
• 24/6 is the number of the successful person with an attractive personality, 6 refers to the “cosmic parent”, 2 to revealing their loving ways, and 4 to their honesty, dependability and respectability.
• The number 6 talent number is often found in successful musicians and artists or those associated with “the arts”.
• Generally the 6 makes their voice heard in some manner.

  Already with Venus in the second house and the combination of Jupiter conj Saturn retrograde in the 7th, it seems quite likely that Christopher Marlowe would encounter money difficulties, perhaps writing and then people not paying, or work promised only to be seen later as lip service, something said without intent, interestingly also Uranus conj the Moon in the 12th, also shows that he would prefer to be alone.

  Christopher Marlowe = 226/10/1
  Notes on Name number [the tool used in life] ~ 1

• 226= 10 [the 22nd letter of the Hebrew alphabet is Tav, the sign of the cross + 6 needs to be heard and given a voice.]

  [22’s are capable of handling big projects efficiently; often 22’s find themselves in a position of authority at some time in their lives, where they face a nemesis. The 22’s accomplishment will depend on the desire to “take on more work than they can handle”. Sometimes work is done on mystic and occult lines, or in some mystery way, through this 22’s do a lot of good to others and become famous.]

• 226 = taking on more work than can be coped with in his writing, and after facing a nemesis he will become famous in some way through his writing that has occult mystery or mystery associated with it.

  [ He feigns his own death and becomes free to write under another name, writing what he desires to write.] See how this change in identity is described in his natal charts life- path.

• 10 is the number of perfected Man, and 1 the root Number the true expression of the Sun.
• The position of the Sun in Christopher Marlowe’s chart will be interesting. [the Sun is the 2nd house of Aquarius, ruling the 8th!] Indicating financial income is unpredictable,
• 10/1 gives the promise of manifestation that he will be in a leader role like a king.
• Name number 1 relates to the Sun, making people kinglike, royal disciplined, authoritative strong and original.
• These people are remembered for a long time after their death; 1’s make progress in all areas, a 1 name number is good for writers, poets, actors and leaders and all those who come into contact with the public.
• 1’s benefits comes through the social field, people want to give to them.
• 1’s are destined to be leaders in their own field of work, success comes through learning to rely on their own abilities, show courage and determination and avoid the negative aspects of selfishness and egotism.
• People look to 1’s for guidance and direction, 1’s are born to be outstanding.

  Notes on the Psychic number, the day of birth ~ 6

  People born on the 6th, of the month like to do humanitarian service, they are artistic, generous, responsible, loving and are interested in home and family.

• 6 Relates to the planet Venus, making those born on the 6th, have a highly magnetic appeal, appear youthful and are often soft spoken. Psychic sixes attract members of the opposite sex easily, they are very social, love travel, and may journey to foreign lands, and in their lives are always busy.
• Psychic sixes are conscious about their physical appearance and dress well.
• They dislike ugliness, dirtiness, mismanagement and disorder in all areas of life, dwelling places are clean orderly and there is a flair for decoration in the home and places of work.
• They are unlikely to disturb the environment with an argument, harmony is important to them; they are more likely to run away and start talking compromise rather than face a stand off.
• 6’s are tactful and clever and people feel comfortable in opening up to them with their deeply guarded secrets, they know that their secrets will never be revealed to anyone else.
• It is likely 6’s keep their feelings hidden inside and present the world with a smile.
• One strong irritation 6’s experience, is after having started work, they deeply resent having any interruption.
• Psychic sixes generally have very few close friends, and may live alone at some time in their lives, but they love their homes.

  Christopher Marlowe has both Psychic and destiny number 6, which made him a bit of a loner, preferring his own company, so as he could write without interruption.

  Soul Group Chart

  The soul group manifested on the 3rd &7th rays, The 3rd ray is about mental illumination, it's about bringing in ideas to benefit others, its very much the energy of the abstract thinker, the 7th ray synthesises the information, making it very usable and understandable to others. It makes for a strategist thinker. The negative third ray tendencies are towards isolation, also the manipulation of others resources.[ Interestingly Jupiter retrograde soon put paid to that.] One of its attributes is to sustain long periods of concentration in intellectual pursuits; also it gives the ability to communicate the thoughts very clearly.

  This gives a very clear picture of an abstract thinker.

  The soul group “arrived” with the summer solstice and were obsessed with life and concerned themselves with every aspect of existence, the desire to express knowledge of worldly experience was paramount, anything from the intellectual, the sensual to the sexually orientated, and their main concerns were with all that was passionate. His soul group was looking to gain position in life, so as to have the most influence, or “a voice”. The group would have been workaholic, specifically when placed in a situation of gaining influence regarding that of a political nature or even as part of an influential social circle.

  At the heart of the energy are the midpoints;
  Chiron /n node; enlightening groups
  Venus/ Node; art groups, theatre groups
  Ascendant; environment, family.
  In English that reads as “enlightening groups of people who go to the theatre”. It could also be read as teaching people in groups about art. People have to go to a certain place to receive the new insight.

  With the north Node in Gemini, the focus of the group is to communicate their ideas to many other people.

  The group is very “literate”.

  Quick Summary

  His life-path was quite extraordinary, [even in numerology see how the 6 comes through strongly] Numerically, Christopher Marlowe =226/10/1, the number 1 relates to the Sun, and people with this vibration are remembered for a long time. It makes writers, poets, musicians, actors and leaders. Destiny number= 6, 2, 1564 =24=6 relates to Venus, which makes him a good conversationalist, storyteller. Psychic number 6, magnetic, soft spoken, refined taste and disliking dirtiness and mismanagement. 6’s learn about others deeply guarded secrets without effort; they keep them without revealing them to anyone else. (meaning he can keep a secret and quite probably one of his own too.) 6’s are everybody’s friend, popular and considerate. [Quite likely he did have good friends who kept his secret!]

  Numerology makes Christopher Marlowe popular and drawn to the writing/acting professions, with a preference for solitude. His soul group shows the energy is focussed on synthesizing human strategies. Together he appears to be the perfect tool for the soul expression.

  Natal Chart

  

  The time of birth for the natal chart cannot be proven, but hopefully it is not too far out, any discrepancies will become obvious in the rest of the reading. [it appears pretty accurate]

  Prenatal eclipses;

  1st; 7 Cancer 52/59, 20 June 1563 Solar Annual

  This position gives a great influence over others; it also arouses strong emotions in others. There may be psychic or ESP predictive abilities. Possibly prone to be irritable, mentality is governed by feelings.

  2nd; 3 Capricorn 05/09, 15 December 1563 Solar hybrid.

  This position is powerful in eliciting reactions from others, upsetting them and testing others patience, humour is of the ironic sort and mocking quality. It's also about winning out over great odds, through gritty determination.

  Syzergy Moon; 17 40 Capricorn, January 28th 1563

  This last Syzergy usually has the most say in a person’s life regarding achievement. This position is about outstanding achievements, it predicts Marlowe will do some remarkable work in his life that to everyone else is truly remarkable! It’s a desire to do great deeds! Its about going where no man has ever gone before, its breaking new ground and achieving.

  I have little knowledge on the works of Christopher Marlowe, but this set of pre natal eclipses shows that his works are quite outstanding, the set of eclipses and the numerology that went before, points so strongly to the works of Christopher Marlowe being way out of the reach of everyone else, and having a rather ironic and mocking quality! His writings are predicted to evoke a hugely strong emotional reaction in others; also he quite clearly was manipulating his audience by what he wrote! He understood the effect he could have on others. Does this sound like the works of Christopher Marlowe or Shakespeare? Was his work as Christopher Marlowe outstandingly a head and shoulders above others… Shakespeare’s work was certainly a head and shoulders above everybody.

  Interestingly the prenatal eclipses all activate the intercepted houses in the 1st and 7th. Which show that the life is going to involve a special relationship and his outstanding and remarkable work is somehow dependant on a relationship that will not be apparent to the outside world.[intercepted] The Syzergy Moon falls on natal Chiron, who is opposite the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, (which represents the secret partnership [see later]) also Chiron semi-Squares the Moon -Uranus conjunction on the cusp of the 12th house. The Moon rules the intercepted 7th[partnership] and Uranus 2nd [ finance] It shows the secrecy about his income from the partnership. Chiron is also Semi-square Venus in the 2nd house, ruler of 6th and 10th houses. Career [10]Theft.[6] Chiron certainly shows that his pain was associated to his partner receiving the acknowledgement and glory for his works, while he received payment for the scripts.

  The life path

  Is given expression in the sign Sagittarius with rulers of Jupiter, Mars and the Sun.

  Sagittarius rules the 1st and 12th houses, which indicates to some extent his own undoing, or putting himself [1] in hiding [12]. There is a square aspect between the Sun and Mars, both have a horary value of -10, meaning this manifests physically and he has to deal with the situation. This aspect makes him appear very pushy and assertive; he is most likely to fall out with people due to his aggression. He would possibly need to go into hiding!

  Of the life path rulers themselves, one has a horary value of -10, which means he will experience the negative expression in his life.

  This life path is about experiencing a crisis in consciousness, he was very likely to be ruthless and cruel towards others in his communications and dealings and then later feel full of humility, he actually would be carried away in his feelings and let rip, then regret it later, eventually after experiencing this a few times, he actually would gain a vision of his reality, where he compares what he had wanted to accomplish with what he had truly accomplished. Which will be seen in his eyes as nothing much, and unimpressive because he knows he is capable of much more. The clarity of understanding what was not achieved and assessing what could have been achieved, really shakes a person up, the insights become quite powerful and the restlessness marked, it’s impossible to put the insights into words at that moment, and a change takes place. His reaction to this would be almost instantaneous.

  A person in the state of bewilderment wrecks what was a sound identity in search of something new and beyond. [other planetary factors in his chart show him to simply get up and go, re-locate without looking back]

  The personal psychology changes, the personality changes and a growing social responsibility emerges. Until this time there has been social interaction, but it is through personal reasons and enjoyment, but now the shift is from the individual to the collective. The Sagittarian intellect functions best in society, it may have a prophetic twist or be greatly inspired. But the outcome is that inspiration of a person is now from this point on put back into society where there is a need to see it.

  Home is in conventional institutions of higher learning, and changes are often brought about in a conservative manner. The highest values of society and the ideals form part of the personal religion.

  An out of phase person experiences deeply unsettling changes and everything is distrusted which is not under direct conscious control, the mind is very strong and used to dominating everyone. Although having surveyed and synthesized the world into an intellectual system or philosophy, there is still dissatisfaction. There is a chance that a person may escape, take up travel or sport, inflict intellection conviction on others, and crush them, all in a frantic confused state not appreciating the damage being done, a person becomes their own worst enemy.

  Eventually, through the inner raging and conflicts a person will look honestly at themselves, then avoid intellectual argument and manipulation, eventually there is selfless generosity and a well behaved ego.

  The objectivity of this life path is a personal inner change in conscience, which leads to a greater outer change in society. The inner personal change usually manifests as a total change in identity. Even walking away from who they were to becoming someone else. It can be presumed that Christopher Marlowe changed his identity at sometime in his life. But to who? That new identity may remain a secret.

  His astrological life-path has the challenge of giving his knowledge to the outer world, finding he has an inability to adequately express his insights, he has to change. He had to reinvent himself. So he staged his death, and became the playwright Shakespeare. (this change of identity is also shown in the midpoints of the Sun)

  I personally could not see death in his chart at the proposed time.

  This is for interests sake!

  From the British Express; http://www.britainexpress.com/History/bio/marlowe.htm

  Christopher Marlowe's death in 1593 was as shrouded in mystery as his life was clouded by controversy. The long-accepted version is that he and a close friend, one Ingram Frizer, dined in a tavern in Deptford. The two men quarrelled over paying the bill, and in the fight that followed, Marlowe grabbed Frizer's dagger and attacked him from behind. Frizer managed to wrest the dagger from Marlowe and stabbed the author fatally in the eye.

  However, the truth may not be so straightforward. One week before his death, Marlowe's roommate Thomas Kyd, was kidnapped and tortured by the Queen's Privy Council into implicating the author as a heretic and an atheist. A warrant was issued for his arrest, but death intervened.

  Or did it? Marlowe's companions on his final night had close connections to Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I's spymaster. Speculation has persisted that Marlowe's death was faked on Walsingham's orders, to put an end to the Privy Council's pursuit of his protégé. Even more outrageous theories have surfaced that the well-educated Marlowe was actually responsible for much of the work attributed to Shakespeare.

  Christopher Marlowe “died” in 1593, supposedly 30th May at 8.00pm.

  

  Rather interestingly this was the time of his first Saturn return, and if you read Saturn in the natal chart it ties in with making a new start and taking on a partner in business.

  Transits at the time;

  Mercury on the Aries point; genius thinking used publicly. Neptune in the 8th house of transformation on the midpoint of Mars/MC ; some failure MC on the midpoint of Mars; some impulsive act. Mars conj Saturn/Ascendant midpoint; separation, turbulent circumstances. Mars conjunct Mercury; fast decisive action Jupiter conjunct Chiron; discovering talents he never knew he had. Pluto conj N Node/MC; great achievements shared with others, success in partnerships. Sun [the identity change factor] see how many aspects the Sun makes at this time; Sun Opposite Uranus and Moon; confrontation Sun Square Venus; Unpopular Sun parallel Jupiter; creative Sun Conjunct Neptune; Deceptive Sun Square Pluto; forced Sun Sesquisquare Midhaven ; not liking the self and unable to do anything about it.

  There is nothing about death, but it could be seen as a great deceptive plan of genius thinking, for the benefit of the public, a quickly made decision where he simply departs from his former life.

  The solar arcs for that year; making the closest aspects;

• SA Ascendant was semi-square his Uranus, [change to identity] Uranus rules 2nd, so self worth issues are involved in the change.
• SA Mars was opposite his Ascendant, [fighting, opposition, giving the need for change] Mars is his weakest planet with a horary value of -10, which will create a challenge in itself, something will manifest as a result.
• SA Saturn Sextile MC, [seclusion from the world, establishing a new identity.]
• MC square Sun, [Sun rules 8th house of transformation, staged death.]
• Remember the Sun has the midpoint Pluto/Vx, fated transformation.
• SA Uranus conj node in 1st house.[ sudden change to self expression, ]

  1593 was the year his identity changed; some may still say that it could also be seen as death, but the Sun and Moon had just made a conjunction in the 6th house, which signifies a new start, due to his enemies/competitors/intimidation and calamities [6th].

  Other considerations;

  i.e. To the way his mind worked, we can look at Mercury, in Aquarius, a fixed sign in the second house, he would seek a practical solution to the problem that was both unusual and original, with a touch of the genius.

  Sun at 26 34 Aquarius, ruler of 2nd in 2nd.

  Horary value of -10 This means all that the Sun promises will manifest, so the midpoints may be particularly revealing. Financially blessed, good speaker, benefits by family relations, earns money through learning, education. Sun in 2nd house, trouble with family, supported by earnings from government ? or business? Perhaps a scholarship or grant. Gets angry quickly. Spends and gets into debt. Maybe this has something to do with the identity change. Sun in Aquarius, creative, intelligent [genius] capacity for new realms of thinking.

  Fated identity change Sun= Pluto/ Vertex

  The Suns position shows that he had an identity change at sometime in his life, changing his appearance possibly due to some falling out of grace. It may have been due to being in debt and there was no other way out of it other than to fein his death and start life afresh. In his younger days he would have chased admiration, and public image, he wouldn’t have lacked confidence as he has plenty received through other planetary placements.

• It may be the way the mind is organized, but the world is not comprehended in the same way as others, it’s all about having another perspective.
• Many people associated with this position are considered weird by others, but they don’t mind, they know to some extent they are a square peg in a round hole. They are happiest when not looking for approval or acclaim, just being themselves.
• The methods used to accomplish tasks can be quite off the wall and round the houses, to everyone’s surprise the methods used work.
• Filing systems may be under date not name, whatever is used somehow works for them; likewise traditional filing methods may be utter confusion for them.
• This is also a position of synethesia, i.e. hearing colours, words as shapes, and tastes as smells, like the brain is cross wired regarding senses.

• Possible manifestations of transits etc; a new idea, the start of a new project, changing a system or set of rules, ignoring others, achieving a goal.

  This describes the most unusual and roundabout way he thought, how he arranged his paperwork and his partnership, it is the first real indication of his great love of humanity, a highly unusual man whose mindset would be considered highly original yet operating very differently to others, he was aware just how eccentric he really appeared to others. It actually pleases me that he was more interested in his work than gaining the recognition for it, because if it had been otherwise it would have been very difficult to watch another person gain all the acclaim for his work

  Venus at 8 48 Pisces, ruler of 5th and 10th in 2nd

  Horary value of +4, studious, stable, conservative prudent. Makes money through using his mind, can be associated with entertainment, speeches, children etc. Earns money through influential voice, possibly a language specialist, or communications expert. Venus in Pisces, sought after, gets promoted, wealthy, compassion, intuitive, good sense of humour.

• Relates to Mars- Uranus
• This is a highly magnetic position. It’s associated with lots of ideas and energy.
• This position is like remote viewing; it’s about standing back and seeing the whole picture. Not being part of it.
• No decision is ever made without seeing the whole part or hearing every side of every story.
• There is a philosophy of life and a set of core principles that are not betrayed. In order to learn the truth all points of view are listened to.
• This position has far reaching views and well directed ambitions which can have such great importance, that the everyday life becomes momentarily forgotten, household chores and financial affaires can become boring.

• It’s a place of solitude, for autonomous individuals who need time to themselves, coming out for calls of help and to stay in contact.
• It’s an empathic and sympathetic position that fits around available time and ideas.
• The hypersensitive position expresses itself in two ways, one of a perfect vision of utopia or a fighting machine that takes on the world.
• The idea is to maximize the influence of personal ideas.
• This position does exert a strong influence on people around it's also associated with impulsiveness.
• A person may be magnetic, philosophical and highly sensitive to others yet be seen as aloof and isolated with impulsive tendencies.
• Possible manifestations of transits etc; seeing the complete picture, putting the final piece together, the truth revealed, taking on the world, neglecting everyday living, having great influence over others.

  He was a highly magnetic personality with a huge amount of ideas; I suspect he was on his own crusade in a battle to show people through entertainment the whole picture and extent of their interactions. It also made him a wealthy man.

  Mars at 23 58 Taurus, ruler of 4th in 5th

  Horary value of -10, this means it manifests! Aggression, impulsiveness, stubborn, a bully, antagonistic and domineering…. Ouch. Negatively this manifests as a lot of strain, and would make him unable to cope with speculative activities. Mars in 5th, a stimulated intellect, may have had heart trouble. Inflexible, broken romances.

• Relates to Mercury -Venus
• Some may consider this position as meddling, but it’s about having a mission to enlighten and educate others on how life can be bettered.
• Trying to change ignorance or lack of awareness in others by revealing important truths associated with illusion and beliefs.
• The intelligent mind set is geared towards “practical thinking”, applied theories, or something which results in having real meaning.
• The position gives stubbornness of conviction and does not admit to being wrong.
• Others imperfections, eccentricities and special needs, all that makes a person individual, is subject to a notion of “preconceptions of behaviour”, resulting in constraining others their birth right of individual expression.
• Gives self assuredness, absence of doubt, tends to moralizing and dogmatism. Given authority over knowledge of human understanding.
• Jealously protective of the role of educator and role model, is highly competitive with others who would usurp if they could.
• Tragedy comes from being ignored; the position makes for a hard sell on ideas, with little time given to preparation.
• Charming salesman selling an idea, a dream, a vision to others, attracted to risks, perseveres in work despite setbacks and distractions.
• The first trumpets call to awaken.
• Exercised great patience when an improvement is seen.
• Possible manifestations when triggered by transits etc; Seeking a consultation or advice, awakening to something new, initiation, made a decision, looking from another’s perspective, rejection by others because of not meeting another’s standards. Being given an audience.
• Gives insight, is convincing and enlightening, negatively dogmatic, insensitive and jealous.

  Marlowe obviously felt he was on a mission to enlighten others, but before his momentous life changing experience described in the life path, he was aggressively pressing his views on others, which may have been the truth related to illusions and beliefs, but others were not willing to accept it in the way he presented it at first. However it was well accepted and presented in the form of a theatre play, when his writings were finally presented in front of an audience.

  As Jupiter is in conjunction with Saturn, the two themes become part of the same arrangement, Jupiter describes his great risk and opportunity that was given to him by the Theatre man William Shakespeare, who through this relationship he was able to manifest all his talents and ability to earn money. This position also clearly shows how he was quite capable of simply moving on, after staging his death he just picked up and left moved to a new place and started his new business venture and writing career. It also shows him to be the secret partner, or hidden partner who did the writing.

  This describes Christopher Marlowe as being capable of deceptively writing under the name of Shakespeare, enjoying the secrecy. In some way it must have been in his best interest to write under Shakespeare’s name. Why did he do it? The only real answer has to be because he had already staged his own death. He couldn’t come alive again, but knowing what a great socialite and extrovert his chart shows him to be, this must have been a really hard secret to keep as he would have craved that admiration. He left everything for his partner to arrange. He preferred to be the sleeping partner who wrote obsessively and left the Theatre management and rehearsals to the William Shakespeare whom he gave his writings to. It appeared he did well financially out of the arrangement under some of the other planetary placements but this placement indicates he lost money to his partner, this is a contradiction, perhaps it was not money but the fact he lost his identity to his partner, something equally valuable to him.

  Jupiter and Saturn should really be read together as they are in conjunction for a fuller picture of the arrangement. It shows that Christopher Marlowe was the hidden partner who did all the writing while William Shakespeare was the person who arranged all the theatrical side, for some reason [Marlowe’s previously staged death] he had to accept William Shakespeare receiving all the glory and honours for his work.

  Uranus at 7 38 Sagittarius, ruler of 2nd house in 12th house.

  This suggests that his work was charitable, or hidden, unknown.

• Relates to Sun-Pluto
• This position has the revolutionary spirit, one that originates from a point of change.
• Its not about rebelling for the sake of it, but replacing the old with something new.
• It is a position that is both radical and conservative or anarchy and establishment and the themes of anarchy and establishment run through the lives of the people associated with this day.
• There may be either the themes of consolidation of power or administration of power, that are prominent in their lives, some expression is found for it either in the family, group or in the career, it could even be the subject of their work.
• Usually there is conflict with this position, there may be others who disagree with methods, but this position is driven, knowing they are right.
• There is great self confidence, which can manifest in both good and not so good ways, the not so good is usually about stubbornly refusing to be open to what others may see as warnings.
• It’s the position of the crusaders and the champions of a cause, which uphold and support the interests of the common man, yet may be somewhat elite themselves.
• Often it’s a position that is happy giving wisdom and information out to others; this can be good because it ultimately brings out the best in other people and the truth of the situation.

  Neptune at 5 05 Gemini, ruler of 3rd house in 5th.

  This shows his work to be active in the field of entertainment, possibly quite speculative.

• Relates to Venus- Neptune
• It’s about being flamboyant and outrageous.
• This position is associated with eccentric tendencies and most people would consider it an extrovert position.
• The tendency is to become more flamboyant with age, regardless of what conventional upbringing experienced as a child.
• In a person there is poised self composure and often a softly spoken voice, but this can snap in a moment to when passions are aroused and anger prevails, making this quite a volatile position, this position needs handling with kid gloves.
• When not erupting with emotion and firmly in control, it’s a very good position which produces highly imaginative work.
• There can be psychological problems, but the bottom line is always about taking control of themselves and not allowing the self destructive impulses to emerge, depressions or manic attacks can be a real cloud over their lives until the source of the anger is addressed.
• When recovered and there are usually people around to give support, these people bring great joy to others.
• The way a person dresses, the colours used, can have a significant effect on the behaviour or mood.
• Clothes may not be the main expression of the outrageousness, it comes through the temperament too, and the frustration is the flair that has to be expressed.
• It might be in the areas of arts, sports or business that a person brings their own style and individual form of expression.
• This position is not the best with finances, and there may be problems.
• A person associated with this day is colourful, uninhibited and expressive and volatile.
• Possible manifestations of transits etc; a flare up, an opportunity to show talents, depression, being supported. This may describe his creative abilities, as being flamboyant and outrageous, or it may show his theatre plays to be flamboyant and outrageous, the fifth house is about speculation so this is very apt as his work brings great joy to others and his creativity is highly imaginative. A gift position for his skills. Interestingly the drama of Shakespeare’s plays are softly spoken and then bursting into intense emotion, and angry powerful words, many actors love to do Shakespeare because it’s a real challenge to their emotional acting. This says much about the qualities that shines through in his plays.

  Pluto at 13 37 Pisces, ruler of 11th house in 2nd.

  This shows there were financial opportunities, the soul ruler of Pisces, was in Pisces.

• Relates to Mercury- Neptune
• This is a problem solving position, specializing in ideas.
• In horary, a person associated with this position could be the best person for the job.
• As a person they know they are the best person for a job, in a position of leadership and social responsibility, but this only comes after much work and preparation.
• It’s a realist position; people are adept at assessing the situation and pointing out exactly what needs to be improved.
• It’s a position of a fair hearing.
• The negativity of the position shows itself through depression and in self destructive patterns, there is hypercritical and bitterness, where realism has turned to pessimism.
• It’s a position where the thrill of life lies in solving the problems of everyday difficulties, from those of yesterday to those complexities that may turn up tomorrow.
• There is great caution with his position, surely and at the right time business and career is expanded, there is much responsibility towards taking control of their lives.
• If something has been tried and tested and fails, a new path is set, it’s not a position to persist and turn a failure around.
• People associated with this position are excellent advisers to those who cannot see the way forward, the way out of a stalemate position is second nature to them.
• Sometimes this position appears to be a know all and not value the opinions of others as they should.
• There is great sensitivity to external phenomena, and a desire to be at the centre of whatever is happening.
• A person associated with this position is convincing and analytical, but may also be highly critical. This shows Christopher Marlowe to be an ideas man, enjoying solving everyday interactive problems, he could see any way out of any situation, he would never allow himself to get into a position where he could not be in control, this position shows he has great strategy and was quite able to stage his own death, and move on with a thought. It also shows he was far too wise to put himself into a position where he could get killed. He was a step or a chessboard of moves ahead of everyone else. Other positions in his chart show him to be totally realistic in his appraisals, so the negativity of this position is unlikely to manifest to any great extent.

  Ascendant

  This is how we see ourselves and it is not necessarily the way that others see us, it can be quite revealing, a person may feel weak and nervous inside but present the world with a cool calm picture of tranquillity, the inner and outer reality are not the same.

  23 10 Sagittarius

  If the Ascendant degree is wrong this could be quite out of character for him, I am not aware if this time has been rectified or not.

• Relates to Mercury - Jupiter
• This position has great confidence in the ability to get things done.
• It’s capable of great feats but the secret lies in careful appraisal and planning and much forethought.
• It’s a very capable position, but if it’s joined with an unrealistic view of life elsewhere in the chart, things can become pretty flat or fall apart.
• This position makes for dynamic people who are intensely focussed on what they are doing, and wish to share with others their experiences and revelations, [so it comes as a bit of a shock when others don’t share their interest.]
• This position is generally free from the worries and self -doubts that plague others, but it can work against them, believing everything is fine when it's not, even when it becomes obvious to others, problems can be dismissed only to be faced later in a bigger way.
• This position needs to listen to feedback from others even if it is considered untrue.
• It’s not a position that allows procrastination or things to run their course, it likes action.
• Realism is the real key to this position, with it a person can go far, but without it, despite all the optimism in the world, there can be repeated failures which lead to feeling discouraged.
• This position has a great optimistic outlook, so any upsets are quickly overcome.
• This can be an accident prone position, due to being unaware, but it is also confident and active.
• Possible manifestations of transits etc; achieving something, getting something done, pulling off a great coup, or falling flat on the face. There was quite a difference in how Christopher Marlowe/ Shakespeare saw himself, to how others saw him, in his mind he was a worker who got things done, he took control of his life and never left anything to chance. He thought at least that he was very capable. The ability to plan was shown in other areas of the chart, making him a person that can really use the energy of this position and turning him into a dynamic person who was totally focussed on his projects, where he shared his revelations on the human condition.

  The Equatorial ascendant

  This is how other people see us, it is the face we show to the world and it may be quite different to what we think.

  23 14 Capricorn

• Relates to Uranus -Saturn
• This position is about solving problems, all sorts of problems, although the problems are usually of a technical nature.
• The speciality is in examining a situation and summing up what is wrong.
• The position is about formulating what is conceptualized.
• Tasks are accomplished with a minimum of effort, and there is an ability to visualise the abstract reality, which shows how a preconceived scheme is likely to work.
• This position gives people ideas and the ability to follow them through to the developmental stage, and then through to the full implementation. Often this sequence is applied again and again.
• There is a desire to collect things, be it knowledge, information, tools, books, or paraphernalia, so it's within hands reach when needed.
• There is a directness, conversation has to be interesting and with meaning to hold them for long.
• This position is highly organized, everything must have its place in order to have mental clarity, and everything being in an ordered fashion somehow allows comprehension. Those who use emotions or intuition for guidance, particularly in love relationships will have difficulty understanding such a mentality.
• Make good parents, but children are likely to be subject to dominance and control, due to organized method.
• Can work as part of a team or on their own, may have their own business or company and be considered an individual with their own distinct style.
• Often highly productive artists, craftspeople.
• Concerned with ambition and power rather than money.
• This position is all about being highly conceptual, structured and dogmatic; there is intolerance towards those who disrupt their order.
• Possible manifestations of transits etc; solving a problem, designing a new concept, putting things in order, organizing something new, a new scheme, completing a task. This is interesting because Shakespeare’s work was summing up the human condition by showing how people behaved towards each other, he showed the illusions and twists of human thought, his works were illustrated from a watchers view the tragedy and suffering that people cause to others, it was a feat of conceptualizing and technical strategy. Today the words are complex from another age, but there are innuendos and hidden meanings that are true today as they were then and strike the chords of the heart.

  Vertex

  The vertex gives details of relationship problems, in how a person may communicate and integrate with others, all people are born with a problem to solve, and it’s usually about integrating the inner self with the outer world. The vertex is one of the keys to why a person is ill; it gives a mental appraisal on how life is viewed, which is very helpful for homeopaths.

• Relates to Sun- Sun
• This gives a very dominant individual that wants to bring others around to their point of view no matter what the obstacles may be.
• Knowing they are the best in what they do, they persuade others of this realization through their dominant personality.
• Setbacks, frustrations, disappointments are just stones on the path they tread.
• This position could be defined as a crusader following a particular mission with zeal. But they are the boss of the mission, and the only leader they want.
• There is humour which touches on the ironic situation, and accurately aimed barbed comments that mercilessly hit others and them selves.
• Right amidst the world of controversy they arouse interest and antagonism, but are adept at defending themselves with language.
• At sometime in life there is dependency on others for necessities and for the provision of a stable home environment. Likely to suffer from unexpected ailments.
• Personal relationships are put to the side due to the preoccupation with work.
• The world is viewed in a crystal clear fashion, knowing the fundamental nature of things.
• The possible manifestations of transits etc; elected leader, unexpected illness, a setback, seeing things clearly, seeing a solution.

  The vertex shows just how Christopher Marlowe would bulldoze himself through life, he was actually a very powerful character and very self assured, his relating problems laid in his great desire to persuade others of his thoughts, He was on a crusade to change their minds, but found others would not listen or be overpowered. Quite possibly at the time of the life path revelation, he also saw that he could not get through to people using this manner of interaction. It may have been then that he saw another way through writing plays and amusing people. As Christopher Marlowe his writing was less prolific than as Shakespeare. He never had the same mission to write.

  Chiron, the comet of enlightenment at 18 42 Capricorn in the 1st house.

  Chiron shows the problems that need to be addressed and turned around in order to have a productive and happy life; the issues are always on self awareness and our behaviour in the environment. They are the areas that bring him enlightenment. It can be said that Christopher Marlowe would have addressed these issues, and quite possibly saw the implications of his overpowering ways. Chiron usually is linked to the behaviour in the astrological life path.

• Represents Jupiter- Saturn
• It’s about getting ones point across with very few words.
• It’s about owning “a know it all” attitude and dogmatically adhering to fixed principles that arouses great antagonism in others.
• It’s about considering those in authority incompetent.
• It’s about addressing the night worries.

  N node

  This is what we leave to our fellow man after we pass on, and sometimes this can be quite bizarre, it’s about our effect on the world. Our special contribution to society.

  6 36 Capricorn in the 1st house.

  Possibly unconventional or ruthless behaviour. Goal orientated, takes responsibility, benefits from working in solitude, makes money through career. May have something to do with removal of “toxins”.

• Relates to Mars - Jupiter
• This position is about the achievement of a mammoth project.
• The design is huge and there is much attention paid to little details, it’s a long term project that has great commitment and has much depth and breadth.
• What is produced can be beyond others grasps, as it is has quality, depth and quantity.
• The project is a long haul which takes great persistence, years to do, yet year after year there is no let up.
• Great demands can be made on others, who may see them as either needy or dependant.
• It is about a self -absorbed personality. Their world is electrically charged with high ideals and complex plans; where the mind roams and pushes the body to the limit.
• This is also about setting up a comfortable and efficient base from which to work.
• It’s a really remarkable placement for a person with great talent and persistence.

  Summary

  There can be no doubt that Christopher Marlowe changed his identity at some stage during his life, and that he became the secret partner of another to whom he lost his identity and career. His work would be seen as head and shoulders above the rest and would painstakingly have taken years of persistent writing in solitude to complete. He was leaving the world with a mammoth set of writings that paid attention to detail and were both expansive in breadth and depth. The writings would have a great effect on humanity, making massive changes to the way people thought. The writings would be identified by their hugely changing emotions, at one time softly spoken and another raging with passion, as time went on these creative writings would have become more flamboyant and would magnetically transfix those who saw them. The only writings that meet with this description are written under the name of William Shakespeare, who was a theatre manager at the time.

  William Shakespeare the theatre company manager would never have had the time to write plays and train actors, rehearse, arrange costumes and scenery and travel around, while running the most successful shows of the time.

  3) QUESTION: Dear Kryon: In the history of humanity, at least of the Western world, there are few greater writers than Shakespeare. His name reverberates as some kind of divinely enlightened or "godlike" being. Yet the name and person "Shakespeare," according to many intelligent readers and famous geniuses, appears clearly to be a cover-up for the writer Christopher Marlowe.

  To say that he was just some "anonymous master" really would not answer this. And the more I become aware, the more this "conspiracy of silence" appears politically motivated, ridiculous as it may sound. Surely you may give us the simple answer - or are you waiting for us to fight the dirty "intellectual" battles until the truth is eventually revealed?

  ANSWER: So, what is your question, really? Who was Shakespeare? The answer is not a secret, but will be debated hotly by intellectuals forever. But being debated between intellectuals does not prohibit me from giving answers.

  First, yes, it was Christopher Marlowe. He assumed the name of Shakespeare after his death was faked. Second, Christopher Marlowe was a master who came to earth with a specialty of his own that should be obvious to you. His talent wasn't to heal or lead the masses, or even to die as a martyr. In fact, he was actually quite the warrior, but this gave him experience with his specialty, which was the story of Human drama. Just like some other masters had their specialties in art or music, Marlowe did what he came to do, and you're still reading and studying his work, aren't you? Regardless of the name, this is the mark of a true master... to give the earth something grand that lasts for eternity.

  Now... an "anonymous master"? No. He was Shakespeare!... very famous indeed [Smile] Naturally there will be those who don't believe this. It doesn't matter. Simply enjoy the works, and smile at the circumstances around it all. Remember, this was Marlowe's choice. He doesn't feel slighted in the least. He became Shakespeare by choice. ©Lynn Wincott
