Italy's Constitutional Court has judged that their leading politician isn't above the laws of their land, paving the way for a corruption and tax fraud trial to resume, and in the midst of sex scandals. This politician has fallen and risen again many times, grabbing power here there and everywhere, living the high life and crossing the line many times but living to tell the tale. All very Plutonic, wouldn't you say?
His time of birth is disputed: 5:40am is apparently what Berlusconi himself quotes, which should render it doubtful (people's memories are usually not very accurate about birth times) but most astrologers seem to be happy to go with it. 6:30am is what his birth certificate says, so there is almost an hour of possibility there. Depending on his birth time, Pluto has either just passed, is just passing, or will in the next few years pass across his IC-MC axis (family and career), simultaneously squaring his Ascendant and Descendant (relationships).
What's known with certainty though is that Pluto last year and this year has been aspecting his Venus and Mars, both planets of sex and relationships, as well as the law and power.
In his natal chart Venus and Mars are in close sextile aspect. Venus is at 00 Scorpio 34 and Mars is at 1 Virgo 38. The midpoint of the two is 1 Libra 06, and 1 Aries 06, i.e. within orb of the the 'Vernal point' which actually resonates throughout the Cardinal axis: the first degree of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Transiting Pluto has been stationary at the Capricorn degree last month, and last year. In terms of aspects, natal Venus is on the midpoint of natal Mars and transiting Pluto. These type of geometrical formations greatly intensify the colouring of the period, as does a stationary planet.
It's no surprise then Berlusconi has been having to face the music with his wife divorcing him and the courts ruling against his hubris: there are powers greater than him.
