My first reaction on hearing about Robin Williams's death was to blame that big bad moon we had the day before he died. I know he died on Monday the 11th, but if the truth be known, he had one hell of a horrible weekend beforehand. Robin was born under the sign of Cancer, which is ruled by the moon. Cancerians are extremely sensitive around the time of a full moon, and this one was particularly nasty! Hence the word Lunatic. Never underestimate the power of the moon, especially for those born between June 22nd and July 22nd.
Robin was a double water sign, having his moon in ultra sensitive Pisces, opposing Venus in Virgo. The potential for depression is definitely in that line-up! He would have been a very kind person, but sadly, his own worst enemy at times. There was also a lack of earth in his birth chart, but a lot of fire and water. Earth influences in a chart help provide stability to the individual. Too much water and fire can produce a lot of steam!! A lack of earth in a person's chart also indicates the individual is not materialistic, and money matters can sometimes be very badly managed. Even though Robin made a lot of money, and worked extremely hard, he also lost a lot of money, due to some bad decisions he made in his personal life.
If you never believed in Astrology, you may change your mind if you knew about the painful planetary stuff going on inside his delicate frame, prior to his death. And there was plenty! Before I get into that, I think we should also give some consideration to his family of origin. I get the sense little Robin was very much a loner. He was an only child, born into a wealthy family. When he told his father of his desire to become an actor, his dad's reaction was "maybe you should have a back-up trade, like welding". I don't get a sense that there was a lot of love or support there. As a family loving Cancerian, Robin may also have had some unresolved issues from his childhood. I think it is mighty telling that he married his son's Nanny. Maybe he wanted to be 'nannied' too!
As mentioned earlier, his astrological ingredients would definitely indicate a pre-disposition for depression. Now, let's add to the mix the very nasty Uranus/Pluto square, currently driving everybody insane. Uranus is in Aries, which squares his sun, and Pluto is in Capricorn which opposes his Sun in Cancer. So there would have been a hell of a tug-of-war going on within him for the past two years.
In addition, transiting Pluto was closely opposing Robin's Mars/Uranus conjunction at the time of his death. A Pluto transit opposite either of these two strong planets could certainly trigger a suicide. Mars is an aggressive planet, and prone to instant action. Suicide can sometimes be seen as an angry aggressive act. The aggression being turned within. As well as this, the planet Uranus, which governs electricity, can trigger sudden emotional outbursts.
Saturn (the planet of pain) was recently hovering over his ascendant in Leo, and the close square to his Natal Pluto didn't help matters. Tough transits from Saturn and Pluto can trigger deep emotional issues.
I am blaming the planets Pluto (the death planet), Saturn (the pain planet), Mars (the angry aggressive planet) Uranus (the impetuous planet), and the Moon (emotional roller coaster), for his death. I need to blame somebody! Robin just didn't know how to correctly handle the energy generated by the planets. He became their puppet, and sadly, the string broke!
I wish with all my heart he had come to me before he undid his belt. (no innuendo intended Robin!), I would have put my arms around his sad shoulders, given him a monster hug, put the kettle on for a cup of soothing hot chocolate, and helped him to shush away the nasty noise within him.
Like a lot of comedians, behind the mask, his life was anything but funny. What a tragic loss.
Rest in Peace Robin...
