The Astrology of Inferiority and Superiority Disorders

This is an almost complete checklist of astrological indications for disorders of inferiority. If none of the listed indications is present than the possibility of any severe form of this kind of disorder can be ruled out. Most people’s birth charts will feature at least five of the following indications, but there are a few which show none, and a good number with more than six.

Counter indications can reduce the impact of, or sometimes counteract, the malefic indications. The most notable are the full Moon, or Saturn, in Aquarius, Capricorn or Libra, the half Moon, or Venus, in Libra or Pisces, Saturn in Taurus, and to a lesser degree also Venus in Taurus. Second-class counter indications include Jupiter in Libra, and Mercury or Mars in Capricorn. In general any superior planet dignified in a superior sign can constitute a counter indication, so long as it is unafflicted (including not joined by the Sun, Mars or Mercury).

The strongest indications of inferiority are the first three sankhya yogas: Gola, Yuga, and Sula. If any of the these yogas is present you definitely need to watch out. Without counter indications they spell serious trouble! The fourth sankhya yoga, Kedara, is dignified in itself, but still reveals a degree of inferiority of the third level, which can become antisocial if Mercury is an indication or there are no counter indications. These the most general indications of inferiority are summarized in the list below.

• Gola Yoga and Yuga Yoga (both of the first degree)
• Sula Yoga with fewer than two counter indications (second degree)
• Kedara Yoga with Mercury as an indication or zero counter indications

Although Pasa Yoga in itself does not promote antisocial behavior it can worsen the effect of other indications that do by adding a superiority complex with a somewhat comical (at a distance) idea of infallibility or at least a pretentious disregard for evidence. The same traits, but to a much lesser extent, are also present with the Sun in Pisces or Sagittarius. The Dama and Veena yogas can be counter indications if their respective rulers Venus and Saturn are strong. For Dama Yoga to be a full counter indication Saturn cannot constitute an antisocial indication.

The atmakaraka – the most advanced planet in the chart – can never be an antisocial indication in itself, but if the planet functioning as the atmakaraka constitutes an antisocial indication according to the checklist then this will at least double its antisocial impact. The checklist including all examples will be updated to incorporate this important indicator, but for now the atmakaraka (and its condition) is only given at the end of each example.

The indicators in the list below become simple indications of inferiority when situated in the signs or joined by the planets to be listed next.

1. 1. The Sidereal Ascendant or the Full Moon
   2. The North Lunar Node (Rahu) or Saturn
   3. Uranus
2. 1. The Half Moon (three signs away from full)
   2. Venus
3. 1. The Quincunx Moon (one sign away from full)
   2. Jupiter
   3. Neptune

An indicator of a certain order as listed above combined with a sign or planet of the same order as listed below constitutes an indication of the first degree. An indicator of a given order combined with a sign or planet of an order right below the indicator’s own constitutes an indication of the second degree. At last, an indication of the third (least severe) degree is present with a third order indicator in a combination with a sign or planet of the second order below. Each number in the following list corresponds to one of the three levels of inferiority described in the main text. For the three different Moons only the sign placements convey disorders of inferiority.

1. Leo, Cancer, or the Sun
2. Aries, Scorpio, or Mars
3. Gemini, Virgo, or Mercury

Additionally, the Sextile Moon (two signs away from new) in Leo or Cancer, and Mercury in a first level combination, make indications of the second degree, and finally Venus in a first level combination, the South Lunar Node (Ketu) in a third level combination, and the Sun in Gemini or Virgo, constitute indications of the third degree. These additional indications are summarized below.

• The Sextile Moon in Leo or Cancer (second degree)
• Mercury in a first level combination (second degree)
• Venus in a first level combination (third degree)
• The South Lunar Node in a third level combination (third degree)
• The Sun in Gemini or Virgo (third degree)

The following indications might be the most important, but they require the exact time of birth and for the last two also the place of birth. A New Moon (the Sun and the Moon in the same sign), and the Sun in the same sign as the Sidereal Ascendant, are first level indications of the first degree. Mars in the same situation constitutes a considerably weaker second level indication of the second degree. A New Moon in Leo, Cancer, Aries or Scorpio is particularly bad. A summary of these important indications is given in the list below.

• New Moon (first degree)
• The Sun in the first house (first degree)
• Mars in the first house (second degree)

A minimum requirement for any severe disorder of inferiority is that there exists at least one major indication, or that the sum of inferiority indications after reduction by the sum of counter indications exceeds one. Since evaluating the exact strength of each indication and summing it all up quickly becomes a complex business, I am developing software to do this as consistently as possible. Using the latest technological preview of the next version of Astrolog for OS/2 the average inferiority factor for 715 public figures is just under 4,9. An increase in factor should mean an increase in antisocial potential. The inferiority factor is independent of location. For those with access to the software it can be calculated by dividing the inferiority score by the integrity score (both scores are expressed as percentages of the maximum possible).

Now let us get to some examples. The birth chart of Isabel Hickey, a much acclaimed spiritual astrologer, has exactly zero simple indications supporting any major disorder of inferiority. Her chart also features Veena Yoga, the most dignified of the seven sankhya yogas, but since Saturn, the ruler of this yoga, is slightly cusped it does not constitute a full counter indication. A cusped Venus shows weak interpersonal skills and does not exclude a mild sense of inferiority in that area, but all in all her chart excludes psychopathy or anything worse. The Sidereal Ascendant, the North Lunar Node and Saturn all act as major counter indications. The software calculated inferiority factor is about 0,1. The atmakaraka is the Sun (although fully dignified in Leo the Sun as atmakaraka placed in an odd sign may significantly increase the inferiority factor for a woman).

The chart for the Dalai Lama, a Tibetan buddhist leader, has just one major indication: a second level indication of the third degree (3b). A membership of the totally mad and completely shameless Virgo generation adds a third level indication of the first degree (3c). He shares this evil indication with the former dictator of Iraq, the current dictator of North Korea, and the biggest swindler in US history. However, unlike their charts, but like Isabel Hickey’s, his chart too features Veena Yoga, though Saturn is here more clearly weak and therefore reduces this yoga to even less than half a counter indication. His antisocial potential after reduction still comes to less than one, thanks in large part to his North Lunar Node in Capricorn being a first-class counter indication. A slightly cusped Uranus in Taurus reduces the potential even further, but not enough to enter negative territory. The exact final figure will vary with your evaluation of Saturn in Pisces (an indication of subjectivity and a third level superiority disorder of the third degree) and the weight you assign Neptune. The software calculated inferiority factor is about 0,6 (not including Neptune and Uranus). The atmakaraka is Jupiter (as the second level indication of the third degree already mentioned above it should increase the inferiority factor).

For Bernie Madoff, the Wall Street fraud, Kedara Yoga (the sankhya yoga of wealth he shares with Henry Ford, Ingvar Kamprad, Orpah Winfrey and Bill Gates, just to mention four) without any counter indications, constitutes a possible indication. Since Mercury is somewhat strong and reenforced by a mutual reception with Mars, we may very conservatively count his Kedara Yoga as just half an indication. His chart also has at least one first level indication of the first degree (1c) and possibly also a New Moon. Since there is not even a minor counter indication in his chart, adding two second level indications of the second degree (1b × 2) and the same first degree indication (3c) as for the Dalai Lama, gives him a final antisocial potential of at least five and a half. The software calculated inferiority factor is about 14,4. The atmakaraka is Venus (cusped in Taurus this reduces the overall integrity of the chart and thus increases the inferiority factor very significantly). The ascendant was not available for this analysis.

The chart for Bill Gates, an extreme sociopath notorious in the software industry for his anticompetitive practices, has at least six indications, starting with Kedara Yoga, which qualifies due to a weak Mercury and no major counter indications. In addition there are two first level indications of the first degree (1a & 1c), as well as two second level indications, one of the first degree (2b) and another of the second (1b). A third level indication of the third degree (the South Lunar Node in Gemini) reenforces the sociopathic vibes of the primary indication. Besides a cusped Neptune in Libra there are no counter indications in his chart. Even if the planet were at peak strength, its placement in Libra would still only amount to a minor counter indication of the third degree. Venus in Scorpio also lessens its effect. Most people’s birth charts feature both more and a lot stronger counter indications. The software calculated inferiority factor is about 23,7. The atmakaraka is Jupiter (its extremely poor chaining condition should increase the inferiority factor to the full extent possible).

If wikipedia can be trusted, Nidal Malik Hasan, a psychiatrist (M.D.) who allegedly shot and killed 13 people on a US army base in November of last year, was born on 8 September 1970. This date produces yet another birth chart featuring Kedara Yoga with a weak Mercury, but this weakness itself does not qualify this yoga as an indication of antisocial potential, instead it is Mercury’s combust state that helps make it so. Four additional indications are derived from the Sun and Ketu in Virgo joined by Mercury and Mars. Following the checklist his chart gives rise to a total of at least seven indications: Three of the third level, two of the second (2b & 3b), and two of the first (Mercury & Mars). There are two counter indications, Saturn in Taurus being the most important, but due to an extremely weak dispositor, Venus in Scorpio, they do not hold up very well. A generation X membership adds a second level antisocial indication of the third degree (3c), but Uranus unafflicted in Libra largely counteracts that indication. The software calculated inferiority factor is about 12,1. The atmakaraka is Mercury (as combust this will boost the inferiority factor considerably). The ascendant was not available for this analysis.

The chart for Ted Bundy, a psychopath, torturer, rapist and serial killer responsible for the death of at least 26 people, features the first sankhya yoga, Sula, which by itself is enough to indicate major antisocial potential. Since Mars, its ruler, is here very weak in Sagittarius and there are no major counter indications we can start our antisocial potential count at two. In addition there are two simple first level indications of the first degree (1a & 1b), and one second level indication of the first degree (2b). Finally, another first level indication of the first degree (a New Moon), a first level indication of the third degree (Mars with the Sun), and a second level indication of the third degree (3b), bring the grand total of antisocial indications to eight. Neptune in Libra constitutes a minor counter indication of the third degree, but Venus in Scorpio minimizes its effect. The software calculated inferiority factor is about 161,4. The atmakaraka is Mercury (as combust this will increase the inferiority factor).

To round up, I have chosen six examples to show that not all birth charts of serial killers have as many antisocial indications as Ted Bundy’s does. The strength and in particular the level of the indications are more important than the sheer number. Also the linking of planets in dispositor chains can be important. Through this mechanism any planet in any of the inferior signs can promote antisocial traits. The first two examples feature the nonsocial Kedara Yoga and complement it with the Moon as an antisocial indication. The last four examples highlight the characterless and often promiscuous Pasa Yoga. Like its undignified inferior counterparts this undignified superior sankhya yoga also reduces overall chart integrity, but usually in a less dramatic way. Since it at best contributes a mild superiority complex, it is not surprising to see it associated with an increased risk of ending up in prison. In fact, it is the only sankhya yoga to show this clear increase. Its dignified colleagues, the Dama and Veena yogas, show a negative association.

The first example is the birth chart of John Wayne Gacey, a serial killer who raped and murdered at least 33 young men and boys before he was executed in 1994. Here Kedara Yoga with an extremely weak Mercury (cusped in Pisces) starts us off with at least one major antisocial indication. Next we have a first level indication of the first degree (a New Moon), and a couple of second level indications, one of the second degree (1a) and another of the third (3b). A third level indication of the first degree (3c) brings us to a grand total of five antisocial indications. Saturn and Uranus in Taurus are potential counter indications, but both are weakened by Venus in Aquarius, and at least Uranus is significantly cusped. Through dispositor chaining the North Lunar Node in Virgo and Mars in Gemini also contribute significant antisocial traits. The software calculated inferiority factor is about 9,4. The atmakaraka is the Moon (acting as Saturn and combust this will increase the inferiority factor very significantly).

The final Kedara Yoga example is for the most prolific known serial killer in history. Harold Shipman was a UK medical doctor and drug addict who systematically killed at least 218 of his patients. In addition to the antisocial indications to be mentioned next, his chart also has a hypersocial indication of the first degree: the Sun in Capricorn. With such a weak Sun by sign placement there can be a severe lack of dignity, mental capacity, faith and lawfulness. Other indications can compensate for this, but there are no such indications in Dr Shipman’s chart. This shows that he identified himself as above his patients as well as above the law. Now let us quickly get back on our antisocial track. The chart features one first level indication, an indication of the first degree (1b). Mars in Cancer also contributes inferiority due to its dispositor (the Moon) completely lacking dignity in Gemini (for a Capricorn Sun). A major third level indication of the first degree (3a) brings the total of antisocial indications to at least three. Jupiter and Neptune in Libra constitute possible counter indications of the third degree, but a weak dispositor renders both of minor significance. Thanks to dispositor chaining, other indicators in Gemini (1b & 1c) also contribute significant antisocial traits, as does Kedara Yoga considering both the weakness of counter indications and Mercury’s lack of strength. The software calculated inferiority factor is about 70,3. The atmakaraka is Jupiter (its extremely poor chaining condition will increase the inferiority factor to the full extent possible). The ascendant was not available for this analysis.

The first Pasa Yoga example is very recent and features the chart of probable serial killer Anthony Sowell who is a convicted rapist most likely also responsible for the rape and death of at least seven women in the US state of Ohio. He was only arrested for murder in October of last year and is not yet convicted. The remains of 11 women were found at his home. Since his capture he has also been indicted for kidnapping, attempted murder and felonious assault. According to the checklist Sowell’s chart has a total of at least five antisocial indications including two of the first level, one of the first degree (1c) and another of the second (Mercury in Leo). Pasa Yoga promotes an unfounded sense of superiority. Here it also strengthens the antisocial effect of its ruler Jupiter (3b) as a second level indication of the third degree. The last major indication is Venus (2b) joined by Mars in Virgo. As for the potential of an inferiority complex this is probably mostly a second degree indication, but going by classical interpretation of this conjunction of enemies, it is also likely to have traits of a second level indication of the first degree. Finally, a generation X membership adds a minor second level indication of the third degree (3c). The only counter indication is the North Lunar Node in Libra, and a weak dispositor minimizes its effect. The Libra placement, however, fits a military and Sowell was in the US marine corps for seven years. The software calculated inferiority factor is about 7,4. The atmakaraka is the Sun (as fully dignified in Leo this will not increase the inferiority factor). The ascendant was not available for this analysis.

The second Pasa Yoga example is for the second most prolific known serial killer in history. Luis Garavito is a Colombian rapist and serial killer, who in 1999 admitted to murder and rape of 140 young boys. In addition to the few antisocial indications to be mentioned next, his chart also has a hypersocial indication of the first degree: the Sun in Aquarius. This is the second weakest Sun by sign placement, but statistically this sign is much less common among murderers than Capricorn. However, the possible lack of dignity, mental capacity, empathy, faith and lawfulness also applies here. Just like was the case in Dr Shipman’s chart there are no indications in Garavito’s chart to compensate for his weak Sun sign. This confirms the lack of the qualities mentioned above. The chart only shows two major antisocial indications, one second level of the second degree (1b) and one third level of the second degree (2b). However, a first level indication of the first degree (1c) and a by now common second level indication of the third degree (3c) bring up the grand total to at least four. Jupiter in Libra constitutes a possible counter indication of the third degree, but cuspal placement and a weak dispositor renders it of minor significance. Despite the relative lack of antisocial indications and largely thanks to the undignified sankhya yoga along with extremely weak Sun and Moon placements, the software calculated inferiority factor still comes to about 28,7 – this even without including the outer planets responsible for the minor indications. The atmakaraka is Mars (slightly cusped and situated in Aries this will at least marginally boost the inferiority factor for a man). The ascendant was not available for this analysis.

The chart for America’s Most Fiendish Killer, Albert Fish, also has Pasa Yoga. He did not kill as many people as the most prolific serial killers mentioned above, but he is commonly and understandably considered the most twisted, depraved, sick or diabolic serial killer in America. I will not go into all the details here, you may find them in the book by Harold Schechter (a true crime writer who specializes in serial killers), except to mention that he cannibalized a little girl and wrote a letter to her mother about it. He is known to have killed at least three people, all children, with three more suspected victims. As a house painter he also alleged having molested children, mostly boys under six. During a relationship with a mentally retarded man he attempted to castrate him, but luckily the man’s screaming frightened Fish, who fled. Fish was married to a woman nine years his junior with whom he had six children. By now we should not be surprised to find a great many and very strong indications of inferiority in his chart. The antisocial potential includes five simple indications of which four are of the first degree: two first level (1b & 1c), one second (2b), and one third (3b). Wrapping up is a second level indication of the third degree (3c). There are no first-class counter indications, but depending on the exact time of birth the Moon can become a second-class counter indication of the third degree. In addition, the chart also has at least one major hypersocial indication: The Sun in Taurus. This placement increases susceptibility to mental illness and is consistent with the abuse Fish suffered as a child, having spent much of his childhood in orphanage. The software calculated inferiority factor comes to 19,9. The atmakaraka is most likely the Sun (very weak in Taurus this should significantly boost the inferiority factor) or otherwise the Moon acting as Mars (a bit weak in Capricorn and suffering from somewhat poor chaining this should at least slightly increase the inferiority factor). The ascendant was not available for this analysis.

The last example goes to show that not only the antisocial potential of individuals, but also of nation states, is revealed by their horoscopes of birth. The State of Israel began the War on Gaza with a wave of airstrikes on 27 December 2008. For more than two years preceding the attack the racist terrorist state had imposed a crippling siege on the Gaza Strip. Usually in war civilians have the option of becoming refugees, but because of the siege the people of Gaza had nowhere to flee. More than 1 400 people lost their lives in the three-week massacre. At least 900 were civilians and 252 were children. Israel used a number of internationally prohibited weapons including white phosphorus and bombs with radioactive fragments. 5 000 homes, 16 government buildings, and 20 mosques were destroyed. The still ongoing siege makes the rebuilding difficult at best. Meanwhile Israel is continuing to build settlements and schools on occupied territory in outright violation of International Law. All the crimes committed by the Zionist (not to be confused with Jewish or Judaist) state against the people of Palestine during six decades of occupation are too numerous to mention here. You can find more information, external links, and practical ways to promote an end to the injustice the Palestinians are suffering on the Justice for Palestine page.

The antisocial indications of Israel’s birth chart are not as great in number as they are great in strength. Lately the comparisons between Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians and Nazi Germany’s treatment of the Jews under Adolf Hitler have become more frequent. Astrologically, the similarities in behavior are not surprising, since there are also two major similarities between the two birth charts. To start with both Hitler’s and Israel’s charts feature the Sun in Taurus, a hypersocial indication of secular nature and unrestrained lust. Since this placement, very similar to the one in Capricorn, renders the Sun weak, the capacity for bravery, knowing oneself, and empathy is similarly weak. Taurus is the most stubborn of all the signs and it is obvious that, just like Hitler, Israel will not stop until it is forced to. The other major indication in common is antisocial, a powerful first level indication of the first degree (1b). It conveys an extreme hunger for attention and a focus on power for its own sake without the slightest concept of concern for the well-being of other people. There are two more first level indications, one of the first degree (the North Lunar Node with the Sun) and another of the third (Mars in Leo). Both carry less significance than the first one mentioned. Depending on the time used for the Israeli Declaration of Independence there can also be another first level indication of the second degree. Two potential counter indications are present, but neither carries much weight. Neptune in Libra is the most significant. Jupiter cusped in Sagittarius is the other. This chart represents the final example of Pasa Yoga, which here makes the infallible Zionist state see itself as a victim rather than a perpetrator. The software calculated inferiority factor is about 7,6 (for Adolf Hitler’s chart the same figure is about 15,0). The atmakaraka is Mars (situated in Leo and suffering from a very poor chaining condition this should increase the inferiority factor considerably). The ascendant was not available for this analysis.

This was supposed to have been the end of the list of examples, but then the name of Tzipi Livni kept turning up in the news. She is the former foreign minister of Israel responsible for the War on Gaza and the resulting massacre of at least 1 400 people. As a wanted war criminal a warrant for her arrest was issued in December 2009 by a UK court, but it was revoked the same month after it was revealed that Livni had changed her plans and was no longer to set foot on British territory. Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, the cowardly and amoral UK government headed by David Cameron (a mentally unstable Libra Sun with a combust Venus and a clueless and potentially diabolic Leo Moon) gave in to Zionist pressure last year and made any future arrest warrants for her and other Israeli war criminals less likely.

Besides revealing a person with little sense of remorse, Tzipi Livni’s chart also suits this list by way of nicely rounding it off with an example of Dama Yoga. This highly dignified sankhya yoga is a potential counter indication, but it requires a strong Venus. In Livni’s chart Venus is very weak in Gemini, a third level antisocial indication of the second degree (2b). Another three antisocial indications, one second level indication of the third degree (3c), and two of the first level, one of the first degree (1c) and one of the second (Mercury in Leo), bring the total to four. There are two counter indications, one of the third degree (Jupiter in Libra) and one of the second (Rahu in Libra). The latter is cusped and also reduced in strength by a planetary war with Jupiter. Finally, it is also worth noting a weak Saturn in Sagittarius, since it lends similar traits to that of Pasa Yoga. The software calculated inferiority factor is about 47,3. The atmakaraka is Jupiter (an at least slightly poor chaining condition should increase the inferiority factor). The ascendant was not available for this analysis.

This list may give some people a fair chance of avoiding getting hurt by psychopaths or worse, so please spread the word. If you cannot check a birth chart yourself, you are welcome to contact me and I will be more than glad to help you out. For those, most people these days, who have already suffered, or are still suffering, from contact with psychopaths, remember that God loves You, and heed the proverb: Do not say, I will repay evil; wait for the Lord, and he will help you. Humility is the way to knowledge, and knowledge the way to liberation. Wherever you go, think of God, and He will smooth your way!

Revised 30 June 2011

Note: All planetary sign placements reference the tropical zodiac, which is the one most commonly used in the West. The Sidereal Ascendant is the only indicator to reference the sidereal zodiac commonly used in India. The sign of the Ascendant is therefore related to the stars rising over the Eastern Horizon, while the signs of the planets, which are the same regardless of geographic location, follow the Vernal Equinox.
