This question was asked by Børge Ouslands
wife, Wenche. Børge had already departed on his venture across
the Antarctic but Wenche had had a bad feeling all along. Many things
had gone wrong with the project prior to Børge even setting on his
skies on the Antarctic ice. Everyone involved knew that Ousland
was a good judgement of risk and no hardy fool, however, if was natural
for Wenche to be concerned regarding her husbands safety. The chart is
cast for the moment of her question, which was posed at 13.34 LST or
11.34 GMT, on Sep.18. 1995 in Oslo, and the outlook was not good. |

|
| The question
is posed on the day of the Moon and in the hour Mercury. Mercury corrupts
the Moon, as the two do not agree by nature. Mercury is slow of motion
and approaches his first station and is in the degree of the fall of the
Sun. There is no relationship between the lord of the hour and the
radical ascendant, or its lord, who is Mars. Something is out of tune
and not working properly. |
|
| The querent,
Wenche, is represented by the Ascendant and it's lord, Mars, but because
the party enquired about is her husband then judgement is passed
according to the sign on 7th house, the house of partnerships, which is
Taurus, and according to the state of the lady of this sign, Venus.
Firstly, I observed that the fixed star Algol was on the Ascendant of
the turned judgement chart and took this to be a warning of ill. Algol
shows someone who is likely to loose their head or be incapacitated by
circumstances. Secondly, I observed that the opposition of Pluto might
represent a threat to the quesitives Ascendant. |

| Venus was
angular and dignified in her own sign and terms, but the came from the
body of unanticipated inconveniences, who is Chiron, and she did apply
to a sinister sextile with the ruler of the 8th of the judgement chart,
who is Jupiter. I took it to be a beneficial token that the accidental
malefic was the greater fortune Jupiter and that he was dignified and in
his own sign. However, there was the danger with the sextile through
signs of long ascension that the quesitive should show overestimate the
situation and that could have dire consequence. The moderating factors
here being that the significators involved, although in suspicion of
bringing about misfortune, were in fact the fortunes, dignified and
angular. I passed my judgement to the querent and informed of the
moderators, however I thought that Børge should take the uttermost
caution in regard to the continuance of the expedition. |
|
| Wenche had the
means of reaching her husband and conveying a message to Børge through
a person who was in daily radiocontact with the explorer. But I believe
we concluded that we could rely upon the sound judgement and experience
of the Børge Ousland himself. |
|
| The outfall
of this expedition was that it was aborted after Ousland had passed the
South Pole, due to injuries inflicted due frostbite and extreme cold. It
occurred to me that the influence of Saturn must have a hold on this
chart, which is represented by the powers of Algol, which are heavily
Saturnian, on the Ascendant of the turned chart. Also Mercury is in the
fall of the Sun and will make his station within the exaltation degree
of Saturn, so that the lord of the hour by signification is both cool
and brought to halt in a state of destruction. But the matter ended well
and by reaching the South Pole Børge Ousland became the first man in
the World to reach both Poles single-handed and without receiving
support or the addition of provisions. The end. |
